Can't agree on the seal side more as well: I have 3 of them inked right now, 2 of these are inked over a year ago, and they are writing just like 1st day, unlike my parkers who all dried up even with sealing the air gaps on the cap with candle wax... They seriously have a sealing problem internally.

Oh and I'd love to hear about the other fountain pens that are on your list 😊

Uhm.. assuming by piston knob lock you mean to lock the piston mechanism, actually all of my Penbbs 494s have it. After the piston is turned all the way up, it "clicks" and locks into the place. You need to use force to "unclick" and the piston will be loose then.

I have dozens of fountain pens including Pelikan, Parker, etc., their nibs and ink flow are all excellent, but none of them are as enjoyable as this 3-dollar fountain pen: the Penbbs 494.

With its acrylic and piston build, plus a Pilot-style nib and ergonomic grip, it's incredibly fun to use.

PS: In Turkish, Breakfast means "kahvaltı" which is a short writing of "kahve altı". It roughly means "below/before coffee". Coffee is that much important in Turkish culture that they named breakfast related to the generic action done after that.

Coffee is that much important in the Turkish culture that they named the meal period with it.

With my bluesky account logged in, I cannot see the content anymore, and I get this warning message instead.

This news has been exploded in my bluesky feed already.

There are already some local news covering this incident:

Apparently, as fatih kadir akın (npub1u2c…4p2v) and [@ssg](https://hachyderm.io/@ssg ) mentioned, Bluesky has started honoring account restriction / takedown requests from Turkish government.

Bluesky has been a haven for Turkish leftist people, because both the government and X has restricted access to the leftist accounts.

After people accepted Bluesky as a safe place, their "limiting access of accounts to specific regions" is frustrating, and exhausting.

I've been promoting ActivityPub / Mastodon for years, and I'll keep on doing so.

My new Fountain Pen / Frankenpen.

Hongdian N7 with #32 unit and feed, and Wingsung 699 nib.

This pen does not accept default #6 nib units, and even if, the cap would not close. Additionally, there was no M nibs around as stock. I had to find a shorter #6 nib and fit into the pen.

After some research, I learned that WS 699 nibs are in same length, and #32 nib units fit into the body. Got spares, and voila, it's a nice wet writer!

🧵 2/2

With a loupe or naked eye, I could not see any alignment issues, but with a microscope, it was there (2nd photo, and during the mid-adjustment 3rd photo).

With tiny adjustment, it's not perfect, but writes ultimately more silent and somehow wetter.

I'm happy with the adjustment I made.

Sunday nibmeister'ing 🤓

Recently I replaced My Pelikan M600 fountain pen's golden nib from Medium to Fine. I like the Medium nibs, but the Medium of Pelikan was writing like Double Bold.

The Fine nib was writing smooth, but somehow "noisy". It was not scratching the paper, and the feel was smooth, but something was off, it's like singing/screaming, like the tipping material was rough and unpolished.

Today I decided to investigate:🧵
