#pilot metropolitan
Text
I think I'm going to get a pilot metropolitan as my next fountain pen, but I'm kinda indifferent to the design and colors. (Like, none of them make me excited, but I also don't really hate any of them.)
I've narrowed it down to the 5 i think I like best. I might get one this week or it might be like a year from now, idk, but I can't decide which color.
I'm kinda leaning more towards a couple of these, and I do not guarantee that I'll actually choose the poll winner, but I'm gonna ask anyway and hope this helps me choose one.

Lucy, the time has come and gone. I feel very solemn, but very, very happy. Jonathan woke a little after the hour, and all was ready, and he sat up in bed, propped up with pillows. He answered his 'I will' firmly and strongly. I could hardly speak; my heart was so full that even those words seemed to choke me. The dear sisters were so kind. Please God, I shall never, never forget them, nor the grave and sweet responsibilities I have taken upon me.
(...)
Your ever-loving, Mina Harker

SURVIVED MY FIRST DAY OF WORK. I FORGOT HOW MUCH I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON. TRAFFIC IS VERY STRESSFUL. DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE SUN ON UNFAMILIAR ROADS IS STRESSFUL. TRYING TO LEARN EVERYONE'S NAMES IS LESS STRESSFUL BUT STILL SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO DO WHEN MY VISION IS LESS SHIT SO I CAN ACTUALLY SEE THEIR FACES. I WILL PROBABLY FORGET TO PUNCH IN/OUT A TIME CARD SOMETIME IN THE NEXT MONTH
ALSO ROSS FROM FRIENDS IS APPARENTLY IN THE CALIFORNIA HARASSMENT TRAINING MODULE
#on the bright side i think i made my first friend?#the lead for the warehouse side of things was jokingly grilling me about various stationery brands and just other things lol#he called me basic for owning a pilot metropolitan#but he also approves of me not liking muji pens WHICH LIKE. EVERYONE LOVES THEM BUT HONESTLY THEY SUCK#(also i work at a stationery store so they also made sense as training to help me get familiar with products)#rose speaks

Chicago Beer Pass: 312 Recap
youtube
Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.
On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White have two Oktoberfest beers from breweries that soon will be neighbors. If you're watching the video you'll notice that the lineup of Oktoberfest beers on the table is getting pretty large so look for a recap of the guys favorites later this month. As Brad and Nik knock back beers from On Tour Brewing & Old Irving they recap their 312 Block Party Adventure. The biking bar crawl takes the guys from Metropolitan, to Ravinia Brewing, then Pilot Project, and finally making their way to 312 Block Party. It was quite an adventure and not something the guys would recommend doing... especially with how hard they went.

I need a new fountain pen :/
I have a cheap Sheaffer from the 70s (maybe 80s?) that belonged to a deceased family member. It was in rough shape when I acquired it more than a decade ago, and I always intended to get a nicer one (not super nice, just one that doesn't feel like it's going to crack every time I refill the cartridge and screw it back together).
I've looked at pens regularly for years, but options are overwhelming and I wish there was, like, a quiz to help you figure out a few that will best suit your needs lol.

EVERY EPISODE SO FAR THAT DOESNT END WITH “GOODNIGHT, NIGHT VALE. GOODNIGHT”
SO I finished the list today! This list includes any variation of the phrase, episodes where he just doesn’t say it although present, and episode where he doesn’t say it because he’s not present. I decided to mark colour code them as a result!
• variation, • no goodnight, • no Cecil
Before I start:
I did not include extra episodes like snippets from the lives shows and such.
For the quotes here I only took the final phrase. So anything that breaks the usual scheme like a lack of “stay tuned next” or any lengthy monologue about anything relating to the goodnight phrase, I didn’t quote
I’m thinking about making a video compilation later on but for now I DONT have the space to dowload all these episodes so this will do for now!
If I missed any, lmk!

Welcome Captain Anderson and First Officer Connor!
About a week and a half ago I came up with dbh civil aviation au, as I absolutely love jetliners. So I decided to combine both of my interests! :D
More details about the setting are under the cut!
In the 2020s, a new aerospace corporation emerged - “Cyberair”. Originally starting from light jet construction, but later in the 30s they introduced narrow-body aircraft to the production line, as the result of rapid growth and market expansion. However, throughout the years their idea remained the same: “Reliable and comprehensive automation”. Cyberair jets are everything, beyond what a modern aircraft can offer, and is capable of. Truly a creation of the 21st century.
The latest Cyberair venture – state of the art autopilot. Identical to humans in its appearance, yet so different in behaviour. It’s efficient, reliable and doesn’t make mistakes (almost. At least human ones). But to tell the truth, this development is expected – ever since the late 20s Cyberair started to slowly announce machine cabin crew, even gifting a unique RK200 air traffic controller model to the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Delta Air Lines received their own one-of-a-kind autopilot, a RK800 (FAA approved!) model. How? Well, something about the Cyberair CEO liking their service. After a few papers signed and a few hands shaken, Connor embarks on his first real flight as a First Officer.
No plane flies without a captain though, so Connor has company. And a superior. Even if machines are better than people in piloting the plane in almost every way, human ego and fear, maybe, can’t let them be in absolute control. “Uncanny valley” or something.
Captain Anderson is a highly experienced senior pilot at Delta. Most of his career he has been flying Airbus aircraft, piloting A350-900 in the later years. Although because of Connor working with him now he has to pilot Cyberair regional or light jets from time to time. Oh, those signed papers be damned… He misses his dear A350.
Their relationship had a rough start, with the captain calling Connor “an attempt of capitalism at stealing my job”. But Hank couldn’t help but warm up to the FO the more flight hours passed. There was something so… alive about him? No, in aviation you only trust your instrument panel, and here all of the facts loudly state that Connor is simply a RK800. This is definitely some Eliza effect shit.
Why is he so interested in the A380 then? Doesn’t he have all of the aeroplane data neatly stored in his head? What surprises Hank more is something akin to confusion on Connor’s face every time he gets overly excited about the giant of the skies. Maybe he’s surprised by his new-found interest, too. At least there’s something Hank can tell him about from the old days (ah, proud A380 pilot) during long transatlantic flights.
Fucking Eliza effect bullshit.
P.S. if you want to leave an ask about this au, please do! I get asks so rarely so I’m excited hahah. But you can ask literally anything else, too lol

The Best News of Last Week - June 20, 2022
🏳️🌈 — Happy Pride Month! Let’s start this week with some great news coming from Tokyo.
1. Tokyo Passes Law to Recognize Same-Sex Partnerships
The Tokyo metropolitan government on Wednesday adopted legislation recognizing same-sex partnerships, which will extend some rights that apply to married heterosexual couples.
It also reflects changing attitudes toward the LGBT community. A poll by the Asahi newspaper last year found that 65 percent of voters nationwide supported same-sex marriage, up from 41 percent in 2015.
Japan is the only country in the G7 largest economies not to recognize same-sex marriages.
2. Extinct ‘fantastic giant tortoise’ found alive on the Galápagos Islands
Believed to be extinct for more than a century, a rare species of giant tortoise is in fact still alive.
Scientists assumed that the chelonoidis phantasticus had died out more than a century ago. The only known specimen was discovered in 1906. But in 2019, Princeton researchers discovered a lone female tortoise on the island that hinted that the species might live on. Last week, they finally proved that the two specimens are related.
3. Groundbreaking treatment for HIV/AIDS developed by research team ‘with just a single vaccine dose’
People with AIDS might soon have the option to be treated with just a single vaccine dose, according to a new study from Tel Aviv University that shows the potential impact of a new and unique AIDS/HIV treatment. The peer-reviewed study was led by Dr. Adi Barzel and PhD student Alessio Nehmad.
The goal of the research team was to genetically engineer type B white blood cells inside the body of a person with AIDS. Once modified, the blood cells would be able to secrete neutralizing antibodies against the HIV virus responsible for AIDS, eradicating it from the patient’s body.
4. Rare sun bears rescued from animal traffickers get health checkup
Heartwarming footage shows how two rare bears that were poached as cubs by animal traffickers were given a thorough health checkup.
youtube
“Sun Bears Bopha and Jamran are former victims of the illegal wildlife trade, but found their forever homes at Perth Zoo after being rescued by Free the Bears.”
5. The New York Public Library is giving away 500,000 books for free for keeps
The library is giving away 500,000 books for free to kids, teens and families at all of its branch locations in an effort to help folks build their at-home libraries “and strength the city’s ecosystem of learning,”
All you really have to do to get your hands on some copies is to show up at your neighborhood library and use your card — or sign up for one.
6. Alaska Airlines flight attendant proposes to pilot girlfriend on Pride-themed plane
Veronica Rojas, a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines, surprised her girlfriend with an unforgettable wedding proposal on a flight to Los Angeles. During the flight, Rojas got down on one knee and in true flight attendant-fashion, used the PA system to propose to Moncayo.
youtube
7. Disabled teen completes 84-mile trek of Hadrian’s Wall in wheelchair
Plucky youngster Brynn Hauxwell, 17, who has autism, ADHD, severe asthma, and fixed ankle contractures, took on the historic trail on the border between England and Scotland as part of a charity challenge.
youtube
The arduous journey saw Brynn and his team traveling around eight to nine miles a day and at times going as slow as one mile an hour. The resilient teen has raised over $13,000 for Ability Shetland, a charity that supports disabled people to unlock their full potential in all areas of life, and which also provided the mountain trike for the expedition.
. . .
That's it for this week. Until next week, You can follow me on twitter. Also, I have a newsletter :)
