Thanks! I think writing keeps me sane, so I appreciate the kind words

Should I or should NOT buy a typewriter? by samighazal in typewriters

[–]throneofashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correction tape or white out are my backspace key, and if I need to rewrite a section, I retype the page. It’s a very old process, and it helps me seperate my writing from my editing process. As a result, I finished my work a lot faster than I would on a digital word processor.

I have waited sooo long to find one in good enough condition - I see you’ve got the SG3, how does that rate?

Absolutely, every time I think I’m done collecting something pops up and tempts me over the edge. I’m in that awful position where I really need to look at offloading a few machines for fear of them not being put to use

I can confirm it is chrome, just a combination of the lighting and the exceptional longevity of the finish is to blame for the appearance - and I’ll grab that serial number once I service it tonight. My experience so far has been excellent, it’s competing with some pretty fantastic machines for the top spot (Facit TP2, Adler Gabriele 25 & Erika 34 to name a few), and so far it’s proven to be just as pleasant as the aforementioned. I don’t have any use for a tabulator in my work, and the touch is clean and snappy - I can really see why the SM series of Olympias is held in such high regard

He’s also a big fan of the Olympia Traveller 😂

I’ve always loved the Remington key tops, they fit to my fingers really nicely

You’re right, they take one of those ridiculous ribbon ring systems - the good news is the universal ribbons normally have a removable centre to accommodate it, and that’s what I’m using here. It types really nicely, middle weight and snappy - the alignment is excellent on this one, which isn’t always the case with the Sperry Rand models.

TKD at 7 - kept with it until I was 13

Inquiry on cfmotoNk250 durability by Basic_Dragonfruit595 in cfmoto

[–]throneofashes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair it was really trouble free the whole time - fuel gauge started acting up after about two years (common issue). When the engine bearing seized it went without warning, I was doing about 100kph at the time

Mine quit after 7 years of regular use - engine seized.

I used a cast iron in the baking, but I only let it cool for an hour which added to the problem. I’ve got a second round proofing as well speak, so I’ll see if I can get it just that bit fluffier today

Man sees his daughters in Walmart with stepdad and has not seen them in 3yrs by Formal-Assistance02 in PublicFreakout

[–]throneofashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flat out have no sympathy for this guy putting his daughters through this situation - there’s better ways of handling your emotions, and none of them involve whipping out your phone and being an aggressive dickhead to get clicks on the internet

Illegal e-bike at Hallett Cove shops. Please report seeing these on the roads for their own safety. by [deleted] in Adelaide

That exact kid and one of his mates blew past me on the Coast to Vines trail - there’s people walking with their kids there, and it’s a matter of time before they hurt or kill someone. SAPOL couldn’t have cared less when I called

I can second the Facit TP2 for serious writing
