Lovely! Where I'm from, we call those horse apples.

Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

This was whey left over from making yogurt? Did you just do this for the challenge, or was the end result better?

I agree with you. Something about the grease does not sit right with me. The last time I had wagyu, it was at a fancy restaurant tasting menu place where each dish contained some part of the animal. I ended up throwing up later that evening.

Drying out the cap was a good call. I think reseating the nib was what did the trick, but thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I took the nib and feed out, cleaned it thoroughly, and reseated it, and it seems to be working well now.

Anecdotally, I see them all the time in my neighborhood, and they seem much more attentive to pedestrians and stop signs than regular drivers. Drivers in this neighborhood act like they own the place even though there's probably an equal number of pedestrians out at any given time.

I've also seen one of them fail to pull over when an emergency vehicle was behind it, so I buy that they are causing some problems.

I use fish because I have better things to do than tweak my shell configuration and debug shell plugins.

When I tried oh-my-zsh and prezto (I think?) they came with tons of plugins that performed badly and made it hard to get things done (specifically, they ran git status synchronously on every new prompt, which does not work well in a moderately large repo). Fish had similar features but wasn't horribly slow, so I use it.

I'm storing it with the blind cap fully closed.

That's interesting that the hand warmth can cause burping when the blind cap is closed, I had thought that closing the cap would fully seal the ink reservoir from the nib.

 

I bought a Wingsung 699 recently from AliExpress because I wanted to try out a vacuum filler. Ink leaks from around the nib whenever I cap it, leading to ink getting on the grip. When I write, blobs of ink sometimes burp out onto the page. Is this typical for this brand? I have another no name Wingsung (I think it's actually a knockoff of the Hongdian dark forest) that has no issues.

What is the value of shipping a laptop with Linux when the user can easily load their distribution of choice? I had an Ubuntu certified laptop from Dell in 2015, I quickly replaced it with fedora, which was much more stable on the hardware.

Thanks for all the information, everyone! I guess I'm gonna have to get a bunch of samples and report back, this seems like it will be fun!

One major downside to using nice!nanos for a Bluetooth setup is that the keyboard will likely experience more latency and unreliability than if you used wires. I built a redox using these several years ago, and I would regularly (but not consistently) experience more latency from one half than the other, which led to me getting the letters in words out of order. I haven't heard others complain of this, but I ended up not using the keyboard because it was so frustrating.

 

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to fountain pens. I'm looking to buy a teal ink. I have two Iroshizuku inks that I really like, tsuki-yo and yu-yake, so I was thinking maybe I should get syo-ro. However, I'm also thinking that it would be worth trying another brand. Can anyone make any recommendations?

I really like ink with lots of shading. I mostly just write personal notes for work and journaling.

Ferris Sweep High M (sh.itjust.works)
 

I built two Ferris Sweeps today, one for home, and one for the office. I originally intended to build one, but after I tested the first, I immediately decided I wanted to also use this at work.

I wasn't able to figure out how to align the switches better, so the grid is pretty bad looking. It doesn't impact my typing at all, so I've left it alone.

I think next time, I'll want some kind of case for it, I'm currently using cardboard, and the whole thing is kinda janky looking.

 

Hi! I'm going to be building a Ferris Sweep soon. I was curious if anyone has experience with tenting one of these things. It's compatible with splitkb's tenting puck, but having a camera tripod on my desk seems like it would be ridiculously tall, meaning I'd need to adjust my desk and monitor in an unreasonable way. I'd like for my legs to be able to fit under the desk.

I've seen some 3d printed tented cases, does anyone have experience with that?
