Bad experience with Vodaphone customer service. Overseas call center was useless.Wasted 36 minutes tellin me things I didnt need to know and right at the end that technicians were working on the 4g network service on the tower near which was why I couldnt use my internet data on a brand new phone.

Try running it under hot water to make the plastic expand slightly then shake out the lost part
Due, I think, to user error (mine), the nib of my beloved Kaweco Sport aluminium fountain pen has become lodged in the lid. I've tried everything I can think of to dislodge it, including lightly tapping with a hammer. Who, dear hive mind, has thoughts on alt remedies?

@joegarrity.bsky.social i’m just recovering from two Sirius accidents that I had in July and all complications that happened after. A camera encourages you to get out and exercise it’s a nice way to become active again instead of going too hard-core too early plus there is the benefit of making art.

The nib of my new fountainpen almost dug into the paper and got stuck. I wont be able to do any calligraphy or sketching with this. It cost $68 AUD. Not sure its even worth taking in to a pen doctor. Right now I want to throw it in the trash but I havent. Worst ink flow of the 12 pens I have. Bleh

Here is the #fountainpen the nib is very scratchy indeed almost feels like it’s cutting into the paper but it’s not the ink doesn’t flow evenly and it looks like it’s an extra fine. It does flex to make slightly thicker lies but it certainly doesn’t work as well as the video. A bit disappointed.
