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?

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.

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.

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!

I’ll have to give before the storm a try! That’s disappointing to hear that the third one was also a let down.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed playing Life is Strange together like this. I think we both enjoyed the setting and characters quite a bit (high school in the Pacific Northwest). We tried Life is strange 2, but never really got into it.

I found a link to JetPens’s best pens of 2023 guide while I was on vacation in Japan, and I had to see what all the fuss was about. It’s been two months and I’ve already bought 8 pens and four inks!

I bought a black forest knockoff (made by yongsheng or something) and even that has been good, maybe I should try the real thing
