Last Notes npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Test rolling my d20s to see which I want to bring tomorrow. One rolled "1, 20, 1, 20" and I nixed it without further testing. A, who's game master, was yelling for me to use that. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Stuck a zoom nib in a jinhao 82, and am delighted that the feed keeps up. My natural angle isn't low enough for the truly fat lines, but I like how I can easily get skinnier lines by holding it upright, and my natural angle is a juicy bold line. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth My pen fell to the floor and disappeared. HOW??? npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I think maybe finding the right bp meds will fix it. The two I've tried I've reacted to (one anaphylactic, the other one hives and continuous asthma attacks that the inhaler did nothing to fix). Starting a new type tomorrow (hopefully, if it arrives), but it's one that'll take time to get to an effective dose. On the plus side it's supposed to help with immune stuff/allergies, adhd/cognitive stuff as well, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth You know the sound, scratch, scrape, feedback you get if you pull a metal implement against the surface of a cast iron pan? npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth welp, my Krita is in Swedish which in itself is a challenge. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth cool! Then they're actually replaceable if they're fun inks, good to know. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth they came with a plastic Vector I bought ten years ago, 5 of each colour of the four. Dunno if they're actually parker inks or someone else made Parker cartridges for the set! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth that one came on a big sheet of like 18 so I've sent it to everyone, so that's about the only one I'm certain of. I'm sure I picked out some stuff I thought you'd like in particular but hell if I can recall that far back. I'll be /really/ curious to see your swatches of the inks though and if the pink is UVreactive (I was swatching cartridge inks today by knocking them twice against the swatch card and then swirling with a cocktail stick, and started wondering where that letter was!!) npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth There's some people who have a papershop, or rather bujo shop, online, but they're in this county, and their impulse control is worse than mine, they're fun! Also they go "uh we've been to a fair we need space here half price off all of these random things!!" so they're my main provider of paper. They don't do fountain pens much at all but have a handful of inks, mostly Herbin. And anyway half price off sale yay! New ink day! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Other though: scary that the feed casing for an eyedropper had cracked, that could have become worse than it was (there was ink in the cap but I think it must have been almost empty when it happened). npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I have jinhao 82s with a better seal than this. If it wasn't that it writes so smoothly I wouldn't bother. It was advertised as having a good seal!!! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth maybe send an email to goldspot and plant the idea... 😀 npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth what might happen is something similar to when they made a single sport in a semitranslucent with shimmer and now many of the store exclusives are that. Hopefully we'll get pink, yellow and purple GITD sports as exlusives from Pen And Tool, Goldspot, and all the others now. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Yea, my hope is to recruit someone who doesn't want one for themself or maybe isn't into fountain pens at all, that's seems the best chance. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth srggggh I need to find someone who can get me one of those sports 👀👀👀👀👀👀 npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Considering going to bed with a hot water bottle, this wonky heart thing is coming with a lot of tiredness and also some of the most stubborn Raynaud's hands and feet I've had in years. 3 in the afternoon is okay for bedtime aye? (I took some flex hours and already quit work) npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I came scrolling from below, so picture first. Thought process: npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth speaking of, I forgot about the jinhao 20 and when I checked it again all the ink had evaporated. Sigh. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth In line with my christmas promise to myself to buy lego sets when I want them rather than wait until their retirement is announced and maybe not get them, i have now ordered the d&d lego set which was heavily discounted in a swedish shop. Thus I already need to revisit the Lego Display Solutions. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Today I started a forum on the same forum platform we used for a fandom I was on 20 years ago. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth there's a reason contractor to hire is a common trajectory in Sweden. (Ie we hire someone we've already worked with) npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I am ridiculously tempted by the turquoise Lamy CP1. I am not that fond of my lamy pens, but my black cp1 is probably my favourite of them. And a turquoise cp1 fp with a matching mechanical pencil.. lovely, yes? npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth ooo nice colours. Perfect for a pencase? npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I'm a dice goblin. So many lovely clacky rocks. And now I have to choose which to bring to a game?! I hauled them all out to compare and admire... npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth the nib didn't dry out, it wrote immediately. It could be the ink oxidising. It's why I want to test with an unproblematic ink to be sure. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth @npub1hmu…k6rx welp, I filled up the prera with, as I remember it, about half a converter of ink and wrote a little with it, then ignored it over the holidays. The converter was empty, and the ink left in the feed decidedly light brown. I'll do some more sciencing (because yellow inks are finicky too — I'll use a blue ink to test), but preliminary findings points towards subpar cap seal. That was a disappointment, but in line with what you said. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Welp, since I now have a seal, the kind you stamp in wax, I should probably get the rest of the stuff for sealing my letters. New sidequest-hobby to letterwriting I guess! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I'll dive back into lego and podcasts, because reality sucks. Be back in a few hours with a castle-update. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bag 15 was the roof of the yellow building - it has a greenhouse, presumably for the pizza baker. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I use the ikea gärdesgård series, with the drawers (four sets stacked in a cube-shelf) for shorter inks bottles and one of the taller boxes for the ones I have that are too tall to fit. I combine that with some slightly taller, letter sized, older cardboard boxes I have with internal partitions, but the partitions only work well with some brands, and leave unused space with most, so I am shifting to gärdesgård and will repurpose the ones with separators for other craft stuff. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bag 10: finishing the second floor. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bag 9: beginning the tailor's workshop. I lowered the sewing machine table (full reconstruction of the guts), it was above shoulder height on him. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bag 7: more walls, the club owner, and she's got a gramophone. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bag 6: beginning of upstairs, an office for the club I think. Another set of floor chairs I raised a bit. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bags 5: some more details to the pizzeria facade, an entrance for the jazz club, and stage lights and curtains npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Bags 4: more walls, the facade of the pizza place is finished, and all the back walls. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth yea, our living area is about 100sqm which is honestly tight. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Yea, I will have a dresser that I can use for stuff I am still messing with, and a high shelf for some things I don't want to put away but can handle not being ok obvious display. We might add a shelf above the dresser too. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth All the potential of an empty 32x32 npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth What was the podcast(s) you binged in 2025? npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Colorverse #Colorvent 8: Snow Angel npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Colorverse #Colorvent 7: LGM npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I woke a little before noon, it's now 5pm and it's beginning to ease up. All the things I had planned to do are beginning to look like they won't, sigh. I'll catch up on inks tomorrow when there's daylight again (only missing photos!). npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I like the smell of fresh unburnt tobacco, but please don't set it afire it stiiiinks. But the scents in the inks have always been very synthetic and triggering my asthma, so this year I just opted out altogether. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I buy a lot of notebooks. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth a little bit of water in the ink doesn't hurt much either, I am imagining this from my experience, but it's less than a proper drop right? It's not enough to noticeably dilute the ink if you are wanting to refill. The drying out thing is mostly for storage (no mold in my pens thank you). npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth no, we won't, but I want to know what the other one actually is. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Congratulations on your recent adoption! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I called first thing on a Monday so that I'd be first in line for when the week's cancellations started coming in. It'll be fine, they called back fairly quickly. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Lost a filling and I can't even yawn because the air flow hurts. Food and drink is a nope. Dentist has no appts free this week at all, but they'll see what they can do and call back. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth FBReader: have to manually download each book to my device separately, the only cloud it supports is google drive based and I'm not moving TO drive. Fuck that. On the plus side, if I am ok with manually moving books into a local folder, the permissions it gets is only for that folder. I like that. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Moon+: I can't find a font that works for me among the ones included, I'd probably have to download and import one and I don't even know where to begin. Kept losing focus and having to squint to see the text, despite several different fonts, font sizes, and colour schemes. But it was able to pick up books from my cloud storage! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth After talking about, and reading other's thoughts about, HotE, I am rereading again. Not what I planned to be reading, but hey, the other current books are all paper copies, and I /was/ planning on trying out various e-reader apps, a long book is useful for that. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Hey #fountainpens help me convince my friend he is normal (see poll in OP) npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth Here's my entire herd of Kaweco Sport #fountainpens all together. I should get a red one to complete the rainbow! npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I have one that works with shimmer and several that don't. Their varying qc strikes again. 😆 npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth I was able to pick up my pen yesterday, and inked it up with Diamine Three Kings. I was considering Golden Sands but I felt hesitant about putting shimmer in it, unusually for me. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth If I want to do a personal webpage thing, like a glorified blog which would mostly be an alternative place to dump random thoughts and pictures, where does one start these days? Two years ago the answer was wordpress, but I understand that's no longer the case. npub17n74d49mpq4hhs4mjtv822hvv2surlc0pftv5lc5fhxu6e37af5qdpllql StarSloth agreed. I bought one early when it was released and had such expectations, completely dashed. A different name would maybe had me not detest it so much as I do now.
