Why does every photo look ai generated?
This has been tried a few times now. Why will this one succeed?
I also hate batteries. Batteries suck.
Where would they get the chips and batteries?
the crackle of soldering irons
Start by repairing the soldering irons!
They finally figured out how to make the battery replacable.
I'm getting flashbacks to phpmyadmin.
Probably because it's in spanish, but it looks like an honest question to me.
Viruses existen en Linux, pero no hay mucha. Probablemente no necesitas. Yo no ha usado en unix/Linux nunca.
Lo siento por mi español. No es mi lengua principal.
I looked into this at some point in the past.
From memory, despite 0.3 being unrepresenatable, the routine that formats the output rounds it (stringily) to 0.3.
Someone can correct me, because it's only a vague memory at this point.
Hi folks,
Been shaving my head with DEs for years. The shinier the better!
Well, I just picked this razor up at a boot sale, knowing basically nothing about vintage razors. It was cheap, and I like the ornate handle, so "why not?", I thought.
However, I tried a DE blade in it and it didn't fit. Does anyone know the name for the blade this accepts? I assume it takes a SE blade, but a standard one looks too skinny.
I've seen people on the Internet talking about "Gem" blades. Not much comes up for that when I search UK suppliers, so I wonder if there's another name for them?
Maybe you can't get them any more...
Any advice? I'd like the give it a spin.
Cheers
Stabilo may not be a name you associate with fountain pens. It wasn't for me either, but I was curious when I saw an image of a wooden Stabilo Flow fountain pen.
In fact Stabilo have been making fountain pens for some time (their "Flow" range) but perhaps because prior designs have been a little "student utilitarian" there's been little focus on them in the community. The Grow range though, is a little different.

There are three different designs, each with a different wood and coloured band:
- oak/green
- beech/blueberry (pictured)
- cherry/plum red
In my opinion the combos are all very attractive, but the oak/green model works best. I bought the rollerball version of the oak model for a friend, hence I have the beech one.
The pen is marketed as being eco friendly.
The pen body is made from wood and eco-plastic (bio plastics and plastics with sunflower seed hulls apparently). The plastics are ok. There are a few seams visible in places, but it's not awful. The clip appears to be metal and has just a hint of wobble where it's attached.
The pen posts well with a soft friction fit.
The pen takes international standard cartridges and when you screw on the section there is an affirmative click to confirm it's closed properly. The cap is snap on.
The nib itself is a small steel nib. It writes very smoothly. I was surprised how well. Note however there are no nib options.
All in all, I think its a decent pen, and it's not expensive at around the £20 mark. It would be a nice first fountain pen for a beginner, competing perhaps with the Lamy Safari and Pilot Metro.
