Really Oppoorheimer does work better.

I had no trouble at all cleaning Platinum Chou Kuro ink out of my #fountainpen (ystudio brassing, fine). It was in there for almost a month, with light daily use.

I was surprised that Chou Kuro smears a bit under a highlighter (on Leuchtturm 120 paper). Debating whether to refill with it or go a round with Carbon Black to compare.

@stinerman @evan I didn't think you did -- nearly all (all?) current online payment systems require proprietary software

@stinerman @evan The "when the check clears" part would be the hangup -- it wouldn't be a check.

I never intended for my career(s) to involve so much financial bookkeeping -- MFA does not stand for Master of Fucking Accounting -- but at least now it's become an excuse to use even more #Emacs (Beancount).

@evan All depends on the mechanism for "have to pay to follow" and whether that requires using proprietary software. If it doesn't, I'm positive. (so, "somewhat positive").

Samuel Gelston 12yr Single Malt Irish #Whiskey is very strange. It is clear, for one thing. Tasting notes include Capri Sun.

@mattl it gets the JJ part right

@evan I love a Sazerac, but IME that's usually a rinse/spray of absinthe plus some anise-y bitters. This is more like 50/50.

If you've ever thought, "I should pour a shot of absinthe in my Irish #whiskey, that would be amazing," you can save yourself the trouble and just drink some JJ Corry Fierfield Birch Botanical Irish Whiskey. Yikes!

So sad :(

Thank you for all the joy you brought.

Well, Gandi just turned off my outgoing SMTP access after very lackluster communication/warning (apparently we were just supposed to know that SMTP access would now be contingent on paying for their new incoming mail storage plan). Guess it's finally time to look elsewhere, but it's been a nice 20 years. Any recommendations for SMTP providers?
