Eversharp Skyline Demi Fountain Pen

Eversharp Skyline Demi Fountain Pen

I dunno. I take my phone and put it in my $30 plastic headset and a couple of taps later I’m floating above Buckingham Fountain here in Chicago and can float to the building I work in and a little later I’m following Lake Shore Drive and get to my home with the recognizable maple tree. The graphics outside downtown…

My mom’s best friend worked for Necco (outside Boston) when I was growing up. It’s true that Necco (especially then) has never really made much kid-type candy, but come birthdays and holidays, I didn’t mind at all.

Saaayyyyyyy... are you gonna finish those Smarties? Also, um... Hey! Look over there! (points in direction opposite where bag of Smarties is)

Oh... not pants. Well, that’s probably for the better, with the boiling and all.

Just add a little flour. If this is a problem, your batter is too thin, especially if you’re adding anything. You might also increase the heat on the griddle by just a bit, but add flour first. A tablespoon might be all you need to tighten it up.

Welcome to Gawker, Mr. Cosby!

Those who sacrifice goats and don't start up a bonfire are missing why you sacrifice goats.

Thanks, Claire! I have to admit, I mostly use that variation "whatever's within reach when I realize I want to make apple ice cream," and when I asked a farmer this very question at my local farmers market last night — she had eight or nine different varieties out on her table — she said, "I don't know. I've never had…

A lot of expertise is going on in the article and comments alike and my favorite use wasn't mentioned, so... what's best for ice cream? Typically I peel and dice the apples and macerate in a little plain white sugar overnight to draw out a little of the juice to help prevent ice formation. I may or may not use…

What’s weird or unusual (or even just something so niche you have to wait for it to bomb in the marketplace and hit the deal-a-day sites) is a fair judgment call. I’m not disagreeing with you so much as saying our markers are in different spots. You mention the lots of standard stuff back in the old days, but a lot of…

Meh.com has a lot of the original Woot folks, but the product selection isn't really any better. I still order much more from Woot than I do from Meh. The fun thing about Meh is that because it often has a pretty thin inventory of whatever it's selling, you do kind of need to check on it at the reveal to see if it's…

Well, as long as everyone's picked on everything else, I think cutting down replaceable trees for paper towels might be better for the Earth than clearcutting mountains so we can scoop out the coal more easily and burn it. That being a loss-loss, it's hard to imagine how paper towels aren't better.

Finally! A use for my Pressy!

Oddly enough, that may be what happened with the seller my friend bought his from, because that store has up and vanished from AliExpress. I don’t have the interest or inclination to do that myself — it’s too much of an impulse purchase — but if my friend buys a second, I'll piggyback on his order.

Yeah, I was gonna say. My friend (who is a DJ but not a rapper) scored one from AliExpress for just over $300. Great service, the board arrived days before the original estimate, and when the charger turned out to be a little wonky, the seller just asked for a photo and then sent my friend a new one, no need to return…

Thank you. I have to work out three times a week as part of cardiac rehab. It’s the most tedious thing I’ve ever done and I can’t wait for it to be over. (I’m about a third of the way through the 36 sessions.) Working out is boring, I don’t feel better, and I sure don’t live an hour longer after working out for an…

I owe you a beer. (Or whatever you're having.) Thanks!

If there’s a way to do this en masse, like spctl —add /Path/To/*.app (where /Path/To might be /Applications or ~/Downloads, this is great, but otherwise, it feels like it would just be faster to OK it when you double-click it for the first time. (Or at least that spreads out the anguish to many brief moments that end…

Does Slacker still have a free tier? I'm not much of a streaming-music guy but for a while it seemed like most of my friends had grouped around Slacker — IIRC they felt it was the most responsive to likes, dislikes, etc.
