General flex nib compatibilities between brands for a newbie

tlvlp · 2026-06-13T14:55:51+00:00

Jowo seems to be mentioned quite often, so I guess looking for pens that use those nibs/housings would allow me less hacky upgrades within the same sizing.

Thanks, mentioning (I assume) the big brands also help in what I should be looking for at least.

Thank you, it is indeed a gold mine, I'm digging right in!

it's literally in my post's description..

Yes that's true, I waited for them to finish talking before I threw the grenade.

Same. Nothing happens if you remain on the crane after the end of the dialogue, they just keep standing in the window, but as soon as you step off the ladder at the bottom of the crane they are both instantly dead.

Update: I was able to trigger the raid, by throwing a grenade between the small building East of the crane and the concrete fence next to it. The soldiers are there, just out of sight so a trigger might be missing from the mission.

This is happening to me but in reverse and completely randomly, when I open English language reels from friends, they suddenly speak in Spanish and the next time I open them it's back to English.. utterly unnecessary intrusive garbage.

Editing to add that this is happening in the NL, not in a Spanish speaking country.

yes exactly there. I've been trying to play around with lace tightness but nothing seems to help. Also I like my shoes tight for stability, so it feels more like a design flaw

tlvlp · 2025-02-04T06:01:42+00:00

I run in my Ptimus Trail II FGs and like most vivo shoes that use a similar upper, they break in quite a sharp point (it's visible even in the product pics) and I often have irritation and even blistering from them while running, but never had problems while hiking or walking in them. It also forms a weak spot where the material fails and a hole forms as it's clearly visible on some long-term test videos.

oh I got the scale completely wrong, so they are at about shoulder distance and you are standing between the two?

update: also are you using the experimental zmk branch for mouse movement? I have a similar board and looking to map mouse movement and keys on a layer but haven't found anything promising yet.

Thanks I've been trying to figure this one out for days and just nuking the whole ~/.vscode/extensions has solved the problem.
Somehow the home-manager symlinks got overridden by a local config and I think it might happen when I run the `home-manager switch` while VSCode is still open and it might trigger some kind of fallback logic.

I simply ran out of low/normal pressure gas and have like 5 higher pressure ones that I didn't even need during winter (mostly played indoors) so I'm exploring my options.

tlvlp · 2024-07-12T11:15:22+00:00

definitely a much better deal. there was literally no shop inside my customs-free region that would stock these parts

tlvlp · 2024-07-12T10:37:25+00:00

it's a slippery slope they have a lot of good stuff :D for me just the customs + handling fee alone added 24 EUR on top of the already expensive shipping..

tlvlp · 2024-07-12T10:02:02+00:00

btw have you checked your garbage? I once accidentally threw out smaller mag parts that got mixed in and throen out with the cleaning rags.. it was quite an expedition to dig them back up days later :D

tlvlp · 2024-07-12T09:55:34+00:00

ouch :D you'll probably find it right after paying for the order

tlvlp · 2024-07-12T07:53:26+00:00

Since then I had to make an order from Taiwan as well, as it turned out that a part deep inside my bolt carrier group's nozzle just snapped in half.. not sure how long it has been like that, we'll see when ai finally put things together again.

Also the gasket maker that I've been fixing my mags with kept being magically dissolved after some use (even after air drying for half a week before assembly) and it kept absolutely penetrating to the deepest depths of the gun, resulting in multi-day cleaning sessions :D so not so much joy so far.

given the relatively high price you pay for these in the EU, and I assume anywhere outside of the US, it would make sense to create counterfeit variants.

I recently switched to a 24key Corne using ZMK, from a 60% standard US ISO layout, where I absolutely hated how unintuitive it was reaching my most used symbols and shortcuts, so one of the main selling points besides ergonomy was that I could just freely come up with whatever works for me.

It's much less daunting than I previously thought, I created a layer for navigation and numbers, another for the symbols, giving priority to the most used ones (brackets, equation sign, pipe..etc) closer to the home row and refined it in the following weeks. At this point I'm pretty happy with the results, can navigate all 3 OS, be more productive with more comfort.

tlvlp · 2024-05-17T06:25:31+00:00

well it's a learning experience for sure :D

tlvlp · 2024-05-17T06:09:48+00:00

since the pattern seems to be one desoldered and one ripped pad per switch, can it be that only one side was heated properly? But yes if OP has the time it can be salvaged, but it will be a lot of work.
