Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I’m just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.

Either screen writers have narcissistic egos or the corpos on the top are telling them to change things.

Rollerballs that take fountain pen ink, but...

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

So I am more curious than anything. At first I was thinking that a rollerball could right on paper that fountain pens can’t but as far as I can tell that is only marginally true and there don’t seem to be many “inkball” or “cartridge rollerballs” or what ever desciption they go by. And of those that I have found, they are either plastic disposable looking pens or more expensive pens that leak all over the place. I have read that one of their main weaknesses is that since fountain pen ink is on lower end of viscousity, tolerances must be tight and the rollerball wears much faster than fountain pen nibs. After learning all this I wonder if there is a pen that has addressed all of this. One that lets you use fountain pen, replace the nib when it is worn, and doesn’t look just like a disposable pen. Any one know of a pen like that?

Me again. This time I got myself a pen case as reward for landing a new job.

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

It was around $30 and only once it was delivered did I realize that the design contains metalic threads. And the inside feels like a stiff yet thin leather. Got it from etsy and it shipped from China. If anyone is curious I can post the link in the comments

A while ago I posted about some cheap chinese black inks I picked up, there is the review. Plus my experience of the Hongdian 1862.

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

I had no ink flow issues with either while using them with fine and extra fine nibs. One of my pictures shows what happens when both ink get wet and are smeared. And for the Hongdian 1862, I bought it because I loved the look of the coral color and was not disappointed by its looks in person. Initially I was concerned by how much lighter it was than my 516 despite being larger. But as far as I can tell, the barrel and cap are all stainless steel with a coating and the only plastic is the feed and the converter.

Why are chinese pens always called clones?

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

But more expensive pens or ones made elsewhere are not. There are only so many basic geometric shapes, no one has a patent on the hexagon. Every single company makes cigar shaped pens but they aren’t being called knockoffs or clones. And even the ones that are even similar looking but not identical are still called clones. There are a few that even I would agree actually are clones such as the cap-less pens that use the same patented mechanisms but the term is getting way over used.

Got two black inks on first time buyers sale on aliexpress

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

I had wanted cheap black ink to experiment with and found a 40ml bottle of Boake ink for $3.81 and a 48ml bottle of Ostrich ink for $5.15. Since the prices went up right after buying them I am assuming I got a first time buyer’s discount.

I got real lucky today

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

I had met a woman working at my local mall’s antique store. When I asked about fountain pens she said that while there weren’t any in the store at the moment she had one gathering dust in her cabinet drawer and that she would bring it the next day. I had thought she was bring it to sell to me but she just gave it to me for free. It was a very pleasant surprise and the pen wound up being a TWSBI Vac700! There was also a store closing sale going on elsewhere and I have quite a few Christmas/Birthday presents. Today was a very lucky day.

For some reason I am drawn to both the Pastel and Dark Hongdian pens

Community iconc/fountainpens@lemmy.world by

Though I don’t own either of these pens, they are both on my list. There is just something about the simplicity, texture, and colors that are real appealing to me. Are there any others similar to these? What would you even call this kind of design?

[Meta] I didn't see any FAQ or questions post

Community iconc/musicvideos@lemmy.world by

I have clarifying questions on the rules. If this isn’t the proper format in which to ask them, then let me know. Are animated music videos allowed? By year, do you mean the year the music video was made or the year the first version of the song was published?
