Mononoke came to mind although there probably is a better one.

I haven't watched them, but I've heard little but good about Twelve Kingdoms, Magic Knights Rayearth, and El-Hazard.

Iosevka fits very well with East Asian characters, if you need those.

I find it narrower than I like otherwise, but I need Japanese characters often enough that I put up with it for my terminal.

I need local font support far, far more often than I need collaborative editing. Plus, call me old, but I don't like storing everything on a server in Virginia for Google to read.

Do you have a school computer lab you can use? If the school truly requires MS Office and gives you a copy, they will have no sympathy for not using it.

Today I'd rather play F-Zero because its controls are more responsive, but there's more to do in Super Mario Kart.

The Magic of Scheherazade showed us that mixing turn-based and action RPG battles is harder than it sounds, so I'm a little worried about the balance here.

I don't know Lamy pens, and isopropyl alcohol damages some pens. I'd read the care guide before doing that.

You are supposed to rinse out the nib and feed periodically. There are several ways to do it, but at least rinse the nib and feed until the water that drips out of the nib isn't obviously colored, soak it in some water for an hour or so to get even more gunk out, then put the nib point down on a paper towel or something to suck even more old ink out, and then give it some time to dry.

You don't need to do as much if you're just refilling it with the same color, but since you're running into trouble might as well rinse it out fairly well.

That just might fix the problem if it's built-up dried ink clogging up the pen.

That's reassuring. I took staining the cartridge as a sign of things to come.

I forget how long I let the diluted ammonia (about 10% household ammonia, 90% water) sit in the cartridge. I don't think it was overnight.

 

I tested Diamine Imperial Purple in a reused Sailor cartridge before putting it in a demonstrator, and the result was a stained cartridge. I love the color, but I haven't had any luck getting it out of my cartridge with water, soap, a little bit of ammonia, and time.

I don't write much, so a pen could stay inked up for months on end.

Is there a way to get this color out of plastic? Is it safe to use in converters and demonstrators without staining them too?

You said "That's pretty specific" and gave a definition of "tankie". The reply "Tankie is a pretty specific term" affirms what you said, and because that's the end of the reply implicitly affirms your definition of "tankie". So it does answer your question with "yes".

I don't have the skillset to teach conversational implicatures and inference in English, even my own dialect. So I can't help with all problems like this.

In practice, it's even more specific, because "tankie" wouldn't cover a self-proclaimed leftist who claims that Dr. Francia's dictatorship is a model all states should aspire to. "Tankie" means "self-proclaimed leftist who simps for self-proclaimed Leninist brutal authoritarian states".

 

quakers.social shows up on our list of blocked instances, but looking at the most recent posts at https://quakers.social/public/local I can't see why. They seem like a harmless group with a lot of religious reposts. Does sh.itjust.works have a policy of reciprocal blocking or something like that?
