Ok, we have a situation. My wife just sat me down and asked how much I’ve spent on #Casio watches (I now have LOTS). What she doesn’t know is that there are still FIVE to be delivered.What am I going to do, folks? 😂😂#CasioCult

@kev @fullstackthaumaturge maybe it's because I'm not native, what does it mean for that pen to be "wasted on her"?Does she not use it?Is she so pretty that the pen looks like garbage in comparison?Does she use it like a normal pen and doesn't care about it?Does she treat it like decoration rather than a pen?

@fullstackthaumaturge right! Spiral bound notebooks are the worst.I find hook hand to be really uncomfortable. If I’m using a wet ink pen, I’ll position my hand so it’s under the pen like I’m throwing a dart if that makes sense? I tend to just stick with ballpoints and have a semi-hooked hand. 😂

@cooper so the pins on the F91 are a little different than normal spring loaded ones. They're a press fit, so you will just need to push them out from one side. If you look on the lugs, there are holes that go right the way through. Look for the narrowest piece of metal you see, that's the side you push from.Getting the NATO strap on is all fiddly. I find putting the pin halfway in, then feeding the strap under, pressing it down and sending the pin home, works quite well.@joel
