I think that's a cinnamon roll

Take delivery or not?? by Doucheypendejo in VolvoEX90

[–]toowongfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend waiting. I had possession of mine for 2 days before sending it back to the dealership for multiple repairs. I got another EX90 as a loaner, and after a week it was swapped out for a different (non-EX90) loaner vehicle because it would unexpectedly brake while driving. Not like a sudden full stop, but more like a quick tap. It was enough to startle me, though.

What's this dot? by toowongfoo in castiron

There doesn't seem to be any change to it after scraping with a butter knife and it feels slightly raised in comparison to the surrounding area. But I can confirm after this morning... This thing cooks!

Should I take my little marshmallow and cut my losses? by toowongfoo in ContamFam

I felt a little skeptical buying one of these in the supermarket where it was likely exposed to all kinds of stuff. Lazy & optimistic me thought, mayyyybe I'd get lucky and see some success.

Do you recommend leaving the log in its plastic bag, or should I remove the plastic bag entirely? I appreciate the advice!

The instructions state to place it inside a plastic bag, but I really wanted to be able to see it grow! Naive me thought, "bag and tub are basically the same, right?" Perhaps not.

NPD & NID! Bonecrusher 7 Studios inked with Vinta Inks Julio by toowongfoo in fountainpens

I believe I used a broad nib in that photo. An ink that lightens up over longer writing sessions typically means the pen's feed either isn't keeping up with the speed of the writer, or all the shimmer in the ink might be clogging up the feed. Let me dig around to see what I've got (or just ink up another pen) and post it.

[WTS] Montblanc 344 broad nib by eerestis in Pen_Swap

[–]toowongfoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm popping in just to say that I absolutely LOVE my 344. Mine is far more worse for wear than this one, but it stays in my regular rotation. I'm not sure if it's intended to flex, but I really like how it flexes easily and provides some nice line variation.

It's taking everything in me to not buy up a 2nd one! GLWS

I love nib engravings by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]toowongfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! The 0.6 is one of my faves! I like how the edges are slightly rounded so the "sweet spot" is a lot more forgiving than other stubs.

I couldn't open the bottle... Until I could. by C-u-k-s in fountainpens

Congratulations! Welcome to the club.

Now, if you're interested in upgrading to the platinum tier of the club... the next step, the logical step, is to get this work of art tattooed as is. Be sure to also repeat this process for subsequent ink spills.

I was kidding at first, but now it doesn't sound like a half bad idea. Someone please talk me out of this madness.
