I have no clue, I'm more utilitarian than fancy. I've tried fountain pens but found them to be too high maintenance. If it means anything, my second favorite pen is probably a G2.

The f701 is 8 bucks, a space pen refill is another 9 dollars or so.

So for 20 bucks you have a stainless steel pen that will last forever, while writing in damn near all conditions. Looks snazzy enough to trigger the "I better not leave this" for me, too.

Iron dome is only effective against dumb rockets and mortars, with minimal range.

Nobody is going to shoot those at the us. What a waste of money.

EDIT: I've read the actual executive order. Iron dome is a metaphor, he's actually covering things like hypersonics too.

I'll have to try it out! I currently use fisher space pens, and while the pen is reliable, I definitely notice that it's not guaranteed to write evenly.

Was there any hacks you had to do to fit the refill?

I'm not familiar with the pilot refill, what about that swap do you enjoy?

I commented this elsewhere, but I figured it deserves it's own top level comment.

You can take an affordable stainless steel zebra f701 and swap out the ink with a fisher space pen refill for a solid, utilitarian pen for less than 15 bucks.

You can chuck a fisher space pen refill in the f701 if you want to spice it up

If you want to ball on a budget, you can get a steel f701 pen from zebra for $10, slap a fisher space pen refill in it, and call it a day. It's what I use.

Janee does it too! More general EDM and less trap though.

Fwiw, kid is 19 and seems fully on board.

If you watch a lot of educational content, nebula shares half of its revenue with creators. Even if they get bought out, half of the proceeds will go to creators.

Erased is a wonderful weekend binge and scratches some of the deathnote itch.

The afterlife lasting an eternity may not be all that it's cracked up to be. I enjoy this quote because it provides a different perspective of looking at our daily lives.

"Let's suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say "Well, that was pretty great." But now let's have a surprise. Let's have a dream which isn't under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say "Wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it?" And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream ... where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today."
