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.

Big news on the Vizio case - the court rejected Vizio's arguments in their summary judgment motion. The decision cuts to the core of the case, with clear and conclusive language. Now on to *our* motion for summary adjudication...

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

I can't believe this is real, this is a Threads account as viewed from a @pixelfed account
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?

How have I been using UPS in both directions for well over 25 years and I'm just now learning about UPS "brokerage fees". Oh, right, because they are a hidden scam junk fee. Yeah, clearing two small boxes from Canada to the US with erroneously charged $17 of duty, DOES sound like a $300 job.
Monteverde Documental Black #fountainpen ink mostly passed the "puppy licks the page" test.
