Interesting read. I've tried most of those, and most didn't stick for me. I've been using the emblems for a long, long time, and I highly recommend finding a set that work for you. As for the manual numbering, I just buy journals that are prenumbered and with index pages. Helps a lot. I really like the threading idea, though, and I'm going to give that a go.
Wait till you discover fountain pens and different inks lol
I was "required" to use duo. Okta worked fine. Might be the same in your situation, might be worth a looksee.
You're going to get membership at a bigbox store? I'm not sure Dwight would approve...
It was Ubuntu. But it was clunky and in essence just a vm. It was a cool was too try it out, but it was definitely not a long term solution. Ultimately, LiveCDs worked much better at testing it out.
I see what you're saying in terms of continuation, though, but ntfs kind of sucks. If it's any consolation, most Linux distros can read ntfs just fine now.
Did you print your keycaps, too??
Holy cow! I didn't know about that community, thank you!
Higher temperatures caused by climate change are driving complex processes that make droughts bigger and more severe, new research shows.
Before reading the article, the title sounded really stupid. Like, "New research shows that turning your stove higher, makes the water boil, more at 11!". Anyway, interesting read.
3 month habit? Those are rookie numbers lol. In one 3-day stint of a hospital stay, I once completely lost a habit I had developed over more than 5 years prior.
Scifi has quantum positioning. We should develop that. I bet ai will help /s
Edit: added the sarcasm mark, in case it wasn't clear.
Wherever you stand on the reason for this change, you can't deny that these themes are gorgeous.

Here are a couple Moomin Valley mugs I received as gifts a couple years ago.
I can't describe the deep calm, reverence, these mugs, and this show in general, invoke.
Thank you, everyone, for your expertise, experience, recommendations, suggestions, and patience!!
I have decided to go with the Platinum Preppy in Blue Black with fine nib. I didn't want to jump too far into it with an expensive (to me) one without any experience. So far, granted it's the first day, I love it. A lot. I'm going to give it a few days to see how it feels as a daily driver, but if the few bits I wrote are an indication, it won't be an issue.
Again, thank you all SO MUCH for your help!
Here's a (poor quality, sorry, it's night) picture of my new favorite pen:
I didn't see anything on the sidebar where this is not allowed. BUT, if it isn't, please accept my sincerest apologies, and feel free to remove the post (or let me know, and I'll remove it).
Ever since a quill that I happened to use (without permission, might I add) at a friend's grandfather's house oh so many moons ago, my fascination with pens began. Up until then, all I've used were pencils, markers, crayons, and a couple cheap ballpoint pens.
Over the many years, I have gone from pen to pen, never really finding "that pen feel" I've craved since that single-digit age. Now, I understand that quills write very differently to ballpoints, and even differently to many nibs. However, price has always been an object for me, regrettably, limiting my choices, forcing me to stay on the 'budget' side of things.
The closest I've found to that feel was a 0.8mm Micron felt-tipped pen. However, it wasn't close enough for me to stay with it, so the search continues.
(The feel: smooth, light, almost effortless glide on the page, while still feeling the tactility of the page with each stroke. The resulting line is smooth, but crisp.)
Recently (past couple years), I've been thinking more and more about that quill, and started searching for it again, to no avail. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if his grandfather had it custom made.
I would ask the friend or grandfather, but the grandfather has long passed, and the friend has disappeared shortly after uni (he always talked about going full hermit... I guess he did).
Yesterday, as I was aimlessly scrolling Lemmy, after, what seemed like the billionth time searching for that quill, I came across this community, filled with people searching for their illusive perfect pen; my people.
As before, price is an object (again, regrettably). Are there recommendations for budget fountain pens or quills with a few must-haves?
The shaft looked like a thick feather, with the feathery bits removed. I don't think it was an actual feather, though, as it was much thicker than any I've ever felt. The shaft held the ink, which was added by unscrewing the nib and pouring the ink in (or, as he did it, using a pipette), then screwing the nib back on. The nib was ornate; etched gold on the outside, smooth silver on the inside, split down the middle, with a small hole halfway down the split.
A preemptive thank you to everyone, for reading and considering this post.
Edit: added the last section about the original quill
Edit: change to really like to have, since it seems I was being too wishy with them being a 'must' : )
There are no arrows, no obvious pins, no pin latches. This band is different than all of the ones I've ever sized. Does anyone know how to remove links from this band?
Edit: user Septimaeus was correct in that it was a fixed link band. The link they provided helped in understanding what is requires to resize, and the band now fits my wrist like it was made for it. Thanks!!
Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!

Ah. I can't blame them. A normal website is a lot to maintain. I can't even imagine what toll a social media site would take on mental health. Kiddos to them for maintaining it as long as they did!
