Hello, fountain pen peoples: any recommendations on how to clean out a moldy fountain pen? Perhaps I’m not searching well enough, but I haven’t found a definitive answer or instructions. I saw a few mentions about using a bleach solution to clean, but no measurements on bleach to water ratio. Supposedly this bleach solution could be used to clean fountain pen parts like the cap also, but I’m not sure if it’s really okay. #FountainPens#cleaning#mold#yuck
Summer's now officially over now the kids are back to school and a step on the scales confirms it. Time to drag my fat ass round the block for a #run for the first time in weeks. I'd be lying if I said I was looking forward to it. #running#yuck
This ad poster for the iMac is utterly perfect. Perfect photo, perfect slogan (the period at the end is key — “Yum” without the period wouldn’t quite play the same way), perfect relative scale and placement of the elements. Even the kerning is perfect — Apple Garamond never looked better or more timeless.
Is it because bright colors remind ppl of artificially sweetened food? 🤔
I guess the iMacs do look like candy if you could stretch your imagination a bit... But tbh the first time I looked at this ad, they looked to me like vacuum cleaners. The 2nd time, like car keys? 🙄
And the font looks especially unbalanced/misaligned. The thick part of the "Y", the hanging corner of the "u"... #yuck :( To each their own, I guess
About once every ten years there's a huge scandal where it turns out the NSA has been spying on basically everyone on earth without a warrant, and there's a big angry blowup and Congressional hearings, and there's an agreement not to prosecute if the NSA agrees not to do it again. And then ten years later it turns out they kept doing it, or rather, shut down the old program and started up a new program doing the same thing in a new way. (1/2)
Why do governments demand this information asymmetry??
This information must be so valuable, that the US trashes rule of law (supposedly the immutable bedrock of our democracy and justice) to protect these crimes:
