@MFDOOMALLCAPS Did you ever watch Burn Notice?

@jezlyn All I found was metal speeds up the oxidation of the tea... I assumed tea is acidic so reacts with the metal..?

@jezlyn Hmm.. What chemistry is happening there I wonder?

@yourfutureex No way!

@paradoxmo Tried to get it out from the inside... Broke the chopstick. Probs gonna have to buy 2 new bits. Sigh

@paradoxmo I got the first nib off easy as. Putting the other one on was the issue. No idea how to unjam it.

@paradoxmo I did!!

@paradoxmo Ugh... But it turns out the "easy way to change nibs" is not easy at all 😭

@paradoxmo My cheap LAMYs arrived and thought I would give you an update.
I assumed (incorectly) that an "aluminium" pen would be made of metal. It is not.
I also thought I was buying a matte black ball point to match my fountain pen. They do not match 🤣 Both pens write well and look nice, so still a win.

@LuciaG I do understand this argument, and agree, but I can't help thinking about all the artists who sound/look/write like their influencers and idols. When you do your first recreation of an art piece, no one says you lack creativity. I bundle some ideas on AI into the "testicle stew" argument. It was tasty when you didn't know what it was, but when you are told you overthink and vomit....

@robjwhite @Tutanota This is the annoying part, isn't it. I managed to get everyone on my phone to Signal and then they dropped SMS functionality so I now have Signal, Whatsapp, Messenger and Line so I can contact everyone 🙄

When you have been working so hard you look at the calendar and wonder, "Those last 5 days were actually 3 weeks!"

@Manigarm Sad times.
