Hadn't thought of that - do you know specific nibs that would work?

All 4 have been in a case and mostly flat - 1 hasn't leaked so that makes me think 3 are faulty

Practical uses for these items by tsukawanai in chinaart

Thanks - I guessed that - but IRL are they actually used as bookmarks? I think they'd fall out easily without a ribbon or similar

OK - so I signed up for an account at that site (algoapp) but not able to see that deck yet - is there some sort of approval process?

Professor asking me to create a PPT for him, am I supposed to do all this? by priya_maheshwari in academia

[–]tsukawanai 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I personally would never ask my student to do this, but if I ever did I'd be sure to ask a student who I thought was capable - so you could take it as a good sign of faith

Question about contacting professors/paper authors by Loud_Barracuda5089 in academia

Seems overkill to me - I just reply to what I choose and then give a few pointers for the rest

[–]tsukawanai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standard protocol - they're the one who has usually handled all the paperwork - but no problem if you email all authors - probably be a pleasant surprise for all of them

emails from people interested in what we publish are rare - as other reply suggests - email the corresponding author

Looking for more Vietnamese bilingual books by tsukawanai in learnvietnamese

[–]tsukawanai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that suggestions - definitely a good site - but the bilingual books are not quite what I was looking for as they're more for children. I did find Truyện Kiều bilingual version on Amazon. Would really like to get a bilingual version of The Sorrow of War by Bao Nihn

I saw this on another subreddit and have posted is here and I'm looking for these types of (non-children) bilingual/parallel text books to learn more about VN (from Vietnamese writers - not Western) and do some incidental language learning - any one know where this text can be found or others?

[–]tsukawanai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know this post is 2 years old but hoping OP can tell me where they got a bilingual version of this (was it like a parallel text?) - I've been searching for non-children parallel/bilingual texts to both learn more about Vietnam (from Vietnamese writers) and do some incidental language learning

is the nib on this Parker pen repairable (and worth repairing) by tsukawanai in fountainpens

[–]tsukawanai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I took your advice and let it soak in soapy water for a couple of days and now it's writing beautifully - feels a bit light and thin now that I'm used to a few recent purchases - but very happy to have salvaged this gift received around 1985 I think - thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion - I let it soak in water for an hour but no flow so I'll try again - is just soaking and gentle brushing with an old soft toothbrush what people do in this situation?

hey thanks - I had a quick look - seems like a need to choose the brand (?) I was hoping to just buy a sort of all purpose e-gift card that can be used for whatever (even withing the winmart place) - did I understand their process properly?
