My unsolicited advice to JetPens owner: This is the first time I've ever seen the Jetpens site, and it's amazing. The guides are great, and I instantly trust the advice. I have a $100 cart though, and I'm not going to checkout because there is no Apple Pay or Shop Pay or Amazon Pay option. Sorry I'm too lazy to add my data to yet another e-com site!
I get it, but just do it.
I honestly don't even consider my credit card information that sensitive anymore. If it gets stolen, VISA will reimburse me and reissue a new card.

#194Original headline: >The 42 Best Pens for 2023 I dunno, I always have trouble with "Best" lists that feature double figures; it's as if the maker of the lists isn't willing to use their expertise to winnow it down to a few.
The article lists multiple categories and considers a best pen in each, they used their expertise to give suggestions for a varied set of usages/styles.
Did you check the article or just reacted to the headline?

#196I am a huge fan of the Pilot Frixion Clicker, the weight felt good and writing with it felt so smooth.
Are there any other pens that have a bit of weight to it? Any Recommendations?

I have VISA too, does this apply to me aswell?
I've never heard of someone having their credit card stolen, reporting it promptly, and being out of pocket for any amount.
I've heard several stories of that happening with regular bank debit cards here in Canada. I almost never use my debit card outside of the actual bank branch, and definitely never at high risk locations like convenience stores, gas stations, ATMs, etc. Always credit.

Hardly a danger. Amazon store is filled with counterfeits and scammers due to its comingling policy. When you buy from a small shop where its reputation is on the line, you're assured you're getting what you ordered. When you buy from Amazon, it could be comingled scammer-goods from that one guy who ruined the collective commons for everyone. Its clear how Amazon works. They merge SKUs together, and "Fulfilled by Ama…
Most people don't know that the Amazon stores have counterfeits and they don't care because they will almost never actually get one. I place close to 100 orders a year and have yet to receive a single counterfeit product, or at least, one that substantially differed from the product advertised.
I believe lots of those counterfeits are actually pretty hard to tell apart from the real product. I've had a Samsung charger that was almost a perfect copy, I wouldn't have noticed it if hadn't started smoking one day because the insides were melting together into a burned mass. There were some details (quality of the printing etc.) but nothing I'd ever have noticed. I've also had a Shimano MTB chain that wore out in 1/20 of what I usually get out of a chain. Not sure how many "this product is kind of disappointing" situations I've had that were actually due to fakes that weren't obviously fake garbage, but kind of ok-ish.

This. About a decade ago I switched to writing exclusively with fountain pens because of wrist and arm pain. I couldn’t get beyond maybe a paragraph until I’d be shaking out my hand from cramping. I tried different pens, grips, etc. but would always fall back to writing with my wrist. Switching to fountain pens stumbling through re-learning cursive has made a tremendous difference.
What are some of your favorite goto pens?
Sorry I don’t check comments often — here’s my go to pens:
- pocket pen: Kaweco brass sport . It’s built like a tank, and develops a unique patina.
- daily workhorse: Pilot VP . Great solid pen. The retractable nib is so darn convenient that it’s my go to for anything where I may be intermittently taking notes (e.g. meetings)
- fancy pen for home: Pilot 823 . I got a quite good deal on it, as it’s more than I’m comfortable spending, but it’s one of the best writing pens out there and the vac filler is fun. But it doesn’t leave my desk.
- recent pen: Moonman A1 . This is a “knockoff” of the Pilot VP, which had its patents expire. Quality is maybe 90% of the Pilot, but I paid I also have a TWSBI Eco and a Lamy Safari. I use the eco for basically callouts (circling/adding comments in red) when I review meeting notes. The Safari isn’t really for me… maybe the nib never meshed with my handwriting but I’ve always had issues; however, a lot of folks give it a ton of praise.
