TIL that tuning a glass pen with sandpaper (even the one included with the pen) should only be attempted by an experienced user.
Also, #today I gained a lot of experience in this area out of necessity after the fact. Still, I shan't be doing that again for a while.

More dead tree spam from the Conservative party addressed to my father (who has never lived here). This one was labelled "compliance request" with a red military stencil looking font that said "URGENT: CODE RED". This speaks to the way they percieve the intelligence of their supporters. I weep for the state of politics in this country.
It got a big fat "return to sender".
Is there a way to tell #Emacs #org-mode to omit yhe TOC and headline numbers when exporting to a text or markdown file? I'm trying to implement a #JohnnyDecimal system, so I'm supplying my own numbers and the 00.00-index.org file essentially is the table of contents.
Edit: Because not all replies federate, here's the solution I ended up with:

Since the manual doesn't include examples, it can be confusing as to how to actually use those settings. For this case, add the following line:

I got a new phone because my old one was giving out on me. This one is a decided downgrade from the last one, but that's (mostly) fine.
Anyhow, the new phone doesn't support wireless charging. Because of this, I can no longer charge it on the night stand breside my bed. When I wake up in the morning, my impulse in my half-awake state is to just grab my phone and go, forgetting that it's now tethered to the wall. This was not going to end well for anyone, most especially not my charging cable/port.
I charge it in the living room now.

I'm surprised that AWK is so bad at handling CSV out of the box.
Yes, I know about the --csv flag in later versions of gawk, but that isn't an option in this case.

I run a pretty tight budget. Twice a year, I get a fun surprise from my domain registrar (because I have two domains with them). They both come with a "free business card generator" that I have never used, but whatever.
Anyhow, every time a domain comes up for renewal, it's expected, budgeted, and paid for. All is good.
Then, about a month later I open my email and see an unexpected additional "receipt" from them. This sends me into a brief panic until I realize it's a $0 receipt for the business card bullshit.
I was raised LDS (left a long time ago — and, by the way, I'm a vegan) and I didn't know about that quote! So gross.
I do remember a fight amongst family members once my dad announced he wasn't drinking milk anymore. My uncle unleashed some Bible quote about the land of milk and honey.
My dad isn't vegan, or even vegetarian, but simply decided that milk-drinking wasn't healthy. I followed his example and then, to his chagrin, I stopped eating pork and then all animal products.

I need to find more excuses to use my glass pen. It's totally not practical as a daily use pen, but it's soooo satisfying to use.
I need to write some fancy letters or something.

@alexa-488 I have not. Please tell me more.
Edit: Looked it up. I'm not sure how comfortable I am making my mailing address public, however I have been considering a PO box lately...

You don't have to post yours openly. I think there are various forums for sharing in a more limited manner, i.e. direct with someone. You can find addresses and mail to them first.
Pretty sure even short hand written notes count, so you could leave some fancy notes for people in your life who you appreciate.

I’m not surprised that it was a Safari. I’ve had similar issues with ink drying out on my LAMY nibs (not as badly as Parker pens tho).
So that nib doesn’t dry out on me, I’ve started using that pen daily for journaling. Justttt in case, I also have a little water container to dip it in if it gets dry.

@D. B. Stuck I may or may not have spent $200 on new inks today.
I'd say not to tell my partner, but she was the instigator. We're really bad at keeping eachother accountable for this stuff.
Good thing it's a three paycheque month. 🙃
Okay, so I've seen a thing were people will send a box of #FountainPen ink samples around by mail from person to person. Individuals will add and remove inks from this box, recording the changes in a log book. It seems like a really cool way to get exposed to new inks, and I'd really like to participate in one of these. Is anyone doing this in Canada?

Shaved my beard off for the first time in a while. I was definitely carrying a little less weight the last time I was smooth-faced. The beard was concealing it more than I realized.
This might've been a mistake.
Does anyone in the #FountainPen community know how to dismantle a LAMY Z28 converter for cleaning? I found a video on YouTube that supposedly demonstrates this
but my converters look different than theirs. I suspect mine are of an older design. I suspect they're just missing the metal part, but I want to make sure I'm not going to break them by trying this.
This is what all of my converters look like:

It seems they are the same design after all, it's just that the metal ring has some sort of coating on it for some reason. I've gotten the offending converter apart and am running it through the cleaner. We'll see if I can get it back together again afterward.
Fortunately, I have a few converters and don't usually ink up all of my LAMYs at once.
Katy got me some chocolates that are only 4g of sugar each. They're really good.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, bit not so much when I eat a dozen of them in a single sitting.
