Round one of the species introduction!!!!

Prectikar Master Post:

Here's some info on them, and if you want to see some other drawings I've done of them (albeit some occasionally older n crustier ones), check out my deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/blasho

Anyway let's get into a terribly long string of paragraphs about some of their info:

Prectikar are a large sentient species, usually standing at around 8-9 feet tall when fully upright and weighing anywhere close to or upwards if 1000 pounds

They are covered in feather-like fur (or is it fur-like feathers? They're occasionally branched like feathers, and all have quills, but some are more hairlike) due to the cold climate they evolved in, though length and thickness of it now varies by region.

They are omnivorous, and while they have many traits to help them hunt and kill, most of their diet tends to be plants.

Originally rush-down predators, they use their considerable strength to move in quick bursts and their specialized tusks to either ram prey to death or gouge into it as they grapple it.

Their jaw strength is also insane,with their skull actually sacrificing brain space in favor of it, which helps them eat pretty much anything they come across. They pay a lot of attention to food and cooking because of their high calorie needs and very sensitive nose/tongue.

They have manganese as an oxygen carrier is a result of the scarcity of other metals in their environment and potentially because of its general affinity for oxygen.

This causes their blood to be an amber/orange brown and shades of pink depending on its exposure to oxygen.

Through a network of cooperative bonding and other adaptations (like better oxygen retention in muscles and the easily carried size and longevity of the molecule) they’ve managed to bring this manganese transport molecule close to hemoglobin in terms of effectiveness, though they can also make use of manganese’s catalyst properties to temporarily push it to bring lots more oxygen to their tissues at a time (used for short bursts of speed and strength that allow them to take down large prey and plants for food).

their large body size (selected by their colder environment) lets them use their own high body heat to keep the O2 fixation and liberation going in their highly effective lungs.

An extensive understanding of their internal chemistry is unknown (aka gatekept by their colonizers/"uplifters" who ill get to later) but it seems like they also have a network of bacteria in their body just to manage the more reactive and damaging oxides that form, and to remove/convert the spent manganese into connective tissue and aid in bone maintenance.

They have higher calorie needs from keeping up the body temp and recycling/removing all that stuff, alongside just being big in general. Alongside a lot of sleeping, they also basically just eat all the time (compared to other species) to compensate, though their mammal-like fat retention and other metabolic adaptations for scarcity mean that they can handle long periods without resources(though this causes increasingly compounded problems for them)

Some other downsides include low tolerance of changes in oxygen levels (particularly low) and temperature levels, and poor adaptation to environments outside of their biosphere/without all the microorganisms since these things upset their delicate balance.

(part of why so many tribes were nomadic was/is to chase temperate and ‘warm’ seasons, even though to us that’s still cold. Prectikar living in human dominated areas often just take a lot of supplements with beneficial bacteria in them to cope with thr lack of that in their environent, and any food printers need an 'ink' cartridge containing these things or else theyre basically useless.),

They also experience faster general wear and tear from having constant complex and intensive chemical reactions(sometimes with dangerous chemicals) going on in their bloodstream and tissues.

( I’m not a biochemist, so if there’s any glaring issues with this then just explain it away to yourself with ‘they have a gland for that’ or ‘just don’t think about it actually’ which is what I did. I just wanted the fun color with a metal that can reversibly bond with oxygen :). )

They have one nasal passageway for smell/air and a second, bigger cavity for just vocalization (which they can’t breathe in from as easily).

This second cavity is between their first set of eyes, and has a phonic lip structure inside to produce higher pitched sounds.

The upper nasal opening has muscled nostrils that act as lips to further help control sound. The noise coming from here sounds very high to them, but to us it sounds like a nasally human voice, broken uobhere and there with squeaks, buzzes, and clicks).

They can pitch this nose voice very high, closer to dolphin-like clicking noises but not quite echolocation level.

Their throat vocal cords by their air sac are very long and thick, used for making very deep noises that carry long distances.

However, the vocal control they have through their mouth is very poor due to this and the inarticulate lips and tongue they have, and due to the more limited air they can bring in and out of it, so when speaking only through their mouth they sound a lot like seals or dogs and can only really go in short bursts before having to refill the sac.

Most of their languages are spoken with the nose and mouth sounds in tandem, where the high and low mix to make a more even sounding voice.

It’s fairly easy to understand them, but nearly impossible for us to truly speak any of their native languages, and if they wanted to they could also just start making sounds we cant hear.

They see it as strange that humans and other species speak with a single tone without difficulty.

The red flaps pictured on the drawing of their mouth and nasal passages can be moved to seal off the passage and direct airflow elsewhere.

The big red one in their throat acts as a “diaphragm” to fill and empty the air sac (which is left over from when their digestive and respiratory tracts were more connected like ours, but time in the water heavily shifted it to a more ‘blowhole’ type outline to help them breathe and vocalize from the surface).

The other flap by the air sac and its vocal cords moves upwards to block off the digestive tract whenever the mouth or nose is opened to allow air to be drawn in by this diaphragm.

The two red flaps making a pinched shape can move independently or with the other red flap, but never at the same time with each other. The main airway is always separate from the digestive tract, though the flap to the middle, non vocal nasal passage can be moved so that it’s a part of either the vocal nasal passage to draw in air or the air sac part to act as another resonance chamber.

Air can be drawn in by the diaphragm via open mouth and through the nose via open top red flap at the same time, and can be released at the same time, resulting in their near continuous double speak sound they use for their own language.

Their characteristic large tusks are retractable and housed in a cone-shaped bony socket on the side of their jaw.

A muscle is attached to the bony root of the tooth, and pushes it out. As it slides towards the front of the mouth, the cone socket narrows and wedges a protrusion on the tooth into a hole in the socket, and then the muscle stiffens, locking it in there.

When the tusk retracts, the muscle quickly jimmies the tooth forward then draws it back to get it out of the hole, and then pulls it back into the wider part of the socket.

This is mainly because their tusks are ever growing (but very slowly) but not great at self sharpening, and are their main weapon in self defense and hunting,so it seems this just happened to keep them safe.

If a tusk is broken, as long as it was not cracked at the root, it can be regrown with extensive time in the socket, but otherwise they stay safely stowed in da socket where the majority of its sharp edge can stay protected from chewing and other mouth stuff. Tusks won't start growing in until their teenage years.

They are primarily bipedal/ quadrupedal and switch between the two occasionally.

Knuckle walking helps distribute their top-heavy weight and give them more balance for long and short distance, while walking upright gives them better visibility, less stress on their neck/upper back, and quicker but unsteadier movement.

Their gallop/sprint utilizes both arms and legs to propel them forward in a gait halfway between a bear and a gorilla (since their big mid arms are set like a bears) to overtake prey after an ambush or drive them into the rest of the pack waiting elsewhere. Quad walking also helps them get around in buildings meant for species half their size.

Their hands are some of their only places without hair, but as they age, they loose it on their arms and face too.

Prectikar have different uses for each of their pairs of limbs, and have for all stages of their evolution.

The front ones specialized for grappling prey and grabbing things, and so have a ‘sprawling’ shoulder position like humans and have hands with relatively nimble fingers, the outer two are angled inwards but can also move in a pamprodactyl ish fashion (which acts as their version of a thumb, and lets them switch from big to little grabbing motions) .

Their mid limbs used to be wings with hands, and still have a basically zygodactyl finger position that was helpful for holding onto branches (with the backwards facing finger), but over time they have been converted into terrestrial knuckle-walking limbs, with the one that swings back and forth being brought forwards to walk or swung back to adjust grip on big things they want to move or for balance on unstable terrain like ice . The fingers on this one are big and clumsy, pretty much only useful for digging, walking, or slashing.

Their back limbs also used to be for grasping but were mainly counterbalances, but have now turned into plantigrade walking limbs (and much like humans, that’s pretty much all they use them for). All have nonretractable claws.

Prectikar are viviparous and usually give birth to litters of up to 8.

They have a specific mating season, where their dimorphic traits will become more pronounced.

Males in rut will shed the feathers on their throat sac region and it will become a bright ambery yellow color, and they will also grow in longer feathers on their butt region (in a fan shape for display purposes. The dont have a true post anal tail like humans).

They will also develop some of that pinkish orange/yellow on their chest skin. Females go throguh estrus cycles and will also grow a more prominent butt feather crest, as well as some very long feathers around their neck, shoulders, and abdomen for babies to hold onto.

Their skin patches turn a much brighter shade of yellow to help direct newborns to where they can feed from. Once they give birth, they will start making an oily and thick secretion across the skin patch which is collected into a divot which the infant licks from. Part of why the babies hold onto them is so they can constantly lick the 'milk'so they can grow.

Newborns come out blind and hairless, but quickly grow in a thick down and open their eyes so they can climb on mom.

Once they're weaned, they'll drop off and use the muscles they gained hanging on and climbing to start moving with the adults. They grow very fast, and canes are a common sight in teens to help deal with the rapid bone and muscle growth.

Usually, it is only during this season where chest/skin related nudity standards change to be more conservative, since showing those colors means youre down to fuck and so doing that is usually restricted to in private with their partner or for bachelors.

They have very strict binaries for sex and gender based on this seasonal divide and religion.

Most tribes show gender identity through a piercing on their lower nose for male or chin for female (so dont worry, the main guy up there is showing some male presenting chest outside of the mating season, so hes fine).

Normally, only some cultures pierce their ears, which are like if owls had a little mobile flap of outer ear to swivel I stead of their whole head. Very little of it is actually flesh, and the sound is mainly captured by the feathers around it.

While they have a reputation otherwise, Prectikar are highly social within their tribal/family groups.

They regularly allogroom, greet each other with hugs, and usually travel in sibling groups. Households are multi generational.

They have a reputation as standoffish or irritable because they take things very differently and have other standards/specific body language truggers. also most other species treat them differently/with fear by default.

their upper pair of eyes is larger and focused on long distance vision while their lower pair is for close up vision, creatign a bifocal effect for them when using both at once.

Aaaaaand that oretty much everything, I think. I'll post some other arts related to them soon, but consider this the Master Post on the things you should know about them!!

[fuck-customers]

Was surprisingly surprised with my company when hearing they’re updating rewards so customers don’t have to use the app to access the rewards (it will just provide additional bonuses) and it can instead be accessed at the register, rewards won’t expire as long as you make a purchase at least every year and a half, each dollar you spend will go towards rewards that you can then use on future purchases and you don’t have to wait a month, and the ink recycling credit has doubled from ten a month to twenty.

Then of course, I learn that each $1 spent is worth a point but you need 200 points in order to get a single dollar in rewards and that instead of getting $2 in rewards for every ink cartridge recycled, you will get $0.50.

By the way, we’re not allowed to tell customers if they have rewards or not. They have to ask.

*LOUDLY* You wanted me check on your rewards? Of course, let me check that for you.

This popped up on my YouTube the other day and not to brag, but...

Oh, why the hell not? It's a small brag, but satisfying. :->

I posted about refilling the Pilot Vpen (IRL-UK) / Varsity (US) - and adding how-to links - about 4 years and then again a year ago.

Here are the how-to links; I'm glad to see they're still active.

This one, like the video, calls for pliers and suggests removing the nib:

This one doesn't use pliers or separate the nib from the feed.

*****

Bragging aside, I'm pleased to see Brian Goulet of Goulet Pens giving this hack a higher profile (and Kudos for it, too - as a retailer it's more in his interest to sell them than refill them!)

His reason is very sound: those cheap little pens (usually about 3-to-4 local currency units whether €, $ or £) are ideal for FP-curious newbies or as no-loss-worries when travelling or no-damage-worries loaners.

They also have much better nibs than the price would suggest. Indeed that seems common to all the inexpensive Pilot pens I've tried, which includes every nib size of MR / Metropolitan.

In addition, IMO the notion of "disposable" fountain pens goes completely against the principal FP virtue, where once you've bought the pen, all you USE is the ink.

*****

I should mention, for completeness, that some "starter" fountain pens have prices not much more than these disposables and, refilled by "proper" ink cartridges / bottle-refill converters, don't involve anything like this trouble.

Just saying...

*****

It just so happens that one of my two Vpens was about due for a refill, so here are some pics of the process.

I scrubbed the markings off the barrels a long time ago so I could see what was inside, since refills mean the ink in the pen often has nothing to do with its colour-indicator cap.

First, disassembled and washed in changes of warm water until the water stays clear.

Here's the nib and feed: they've always come out of both Vpens as a single unit, with no need for pliers. Since the nibs show no desire to come off I've no desire to force the issue and maybe break something; those little ink-guide fins are delicate.

The filler is a small syringe begged from our local vet. I also use it to refill cartridges with custom ink colours (yup, I sometimes roll my own...)

Its "needle" is plastic tubing (an empty Pilot gel-pen cartridge, appropriately enough) which fits the syringe perfectly, and a pointy end made by stretching the tube over a candle-flame then snipping to length. If it gets too stained - this is nearly there - just chuck it in the recycle bin and make a new one.

The ink could have been any of the 30-odd I have at the minute, or something mixed specially, but I chose this one - a nice dark green - for the same reason @dduane had me buy it.

It's a very cute bottle... :->

*****

And here's the "disposable" pen refilled, reassembled and re-writing.

It really does have a better nib than you'd expect from a supposedly single-use pen...

*****

It sometimes takes a while for the ink to work its way by capillary action down from barrel to nib, especially if everything has been left to dry after washing. Put the cap on the pen and be patient.

Or speed things up by taking the cap off and running a thin stream of hot water over the barrel for 30 seconds or so. This increases internal pressure, forcing the ink along the section fins.

NB, this step is only for a refilled Vpen / Varsity. Don't try it with anything else, and in case it's not obvious, do this at a washbasin or sink, because You Never Know.

Now use a bit of kitchen paper or loo roll to blot the water which has got on the nib. This has a mild "suction" effect, and when you see ink on the paper (you might need to wet the nib again) your refilled pen is ready for use.

This wet-and-blot nib step can be used to encourage any stubborn fountain pen to get back in action, but the hot water trick, once again, is Vpen only.

Anyway, done.

The Importance and Benefits of Ink Recycling

In the digital age where printing is an integral part of personal and professional lives, the issue of disposable ink cartridges has become a major environmental concern or issue. Moreover, Ink cartridges are a ubiquitous component in printing presses but pose a serious threat to living things when disposed of improperly. Ink recycling is emerging as an important solution to mitigate these risks, with environmental and economic benefits.

Environmental exposure of ink cartridges 

Ink cartridges are made of plastic, which takes hundreds of years to degrade. In addition, these pipes often contain residual ink, which seeps into the soil and water system and causes contamination. Recycling takes a lot of natural resources and energy, contributing to the exhaustion of non-renewable resources and increased greenhouse gas emissions For these reasons, it is not like Ink recycling cartridges use is an approach that is not only environmentally responsible but also an important step towards better waste management system. 

How Ink Recycling Works

Ink recycling involves storing, refining, and reusing used ink. Here is a brief summary of the event.

1. Collection: Used ink is collected from homes, offices, and recycling centers. Many printer manufacturers and print supply stores offer replenishment programs to facilitate this process.

2. Sorting and Cleaning: Sorting depends on the nature and condition of the inventory. It is then rinsed to remove any remaining ink and residue.

3. Refill Or Remanufacture: Depending on the condition of the cartridges, they can be refilled with new ink or disassembled and remanufactured. This process includes replacing worn parts and testing laboratory equipment to ensure it meets quality standards.

4. Packaging and redistribution: The refurbished product is then packaged and redistributed for sale as recycled ink cartridges. A reputed and authentic Old cartridge buyer can provide you with the best prices for the same.

Benefits of Ink Recycling

1. Environmental Protection: Recycling ink cartridges greatly reduces the amount of waste entering landfills. Recycling conserves natural resources and reduces pollution associated with the production of new products.

2.  Energy Savings: The process of reusing and remanufacturing ink cartridges is energy efficient as compared to renewal. This decrease in energy consumption translates into a decrease in carbon emissions, helping to combat climate change.

3. Economic advantage: For consumers, buying a recycled ink cartridge can be more economical than buying a new one. In addition, the recycling industry creates jobs and stimulates economic growth by establishing collection and processing facilities.

4. Corporate Responsibility: For businesses, participating in ink recycling programs raises their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) profile. It means a commitment to sustainability and environmental initiatives, which can improve brand reputation and customer loyalty. However, it’s recommended to connect with an Old cartridge buyer to get the desired results.

Conclusion Ink recycling is a practical and effective way to solve the environmental challenges posed by discarded ink. By adopting recycling practices, we can conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and contribute to a sustainable future. Whether through individual efforts or corporate initiatives, ink recycling is a simple but powerful step toward saving our planet.

HP is one of BDS's boycott targets. You should switch to a different printer as soon as possible

Luckily I don't use any of the HP account bullshit and the last time I bought ink for it (and am currently using) is a recycled cartridge with another brand of ink I think? So thankfully I haven't put any money into HP (I think the printer is like, 4+ years old too, which my family bought). But thank you for this info

I definitely do plan on buying a Brother printer or something as soon as I have enough money to replace it, especially since the print quality on this fucking thing SUCKS (though I would've replaced it anyways even if it didn't)

NaClYoHo day 7 is...mostly complete. We're gonna call it complete. It's my day off and a lot of things got crossed off the to-do list.

Today (Nov. 7) I:

-Packed up and shipped one of the two packages I owe to people. The other one I don't have an address for yet so it has to wait a bit longer. Also I've never sent a package to Australia before and neither had the post office guy so it took forever. And good god was it expensive. But it will be worth it when it gets there.

-Took a bunch of stuff to Goodwill. Clothes, unused craft supplies, decorative items. A floor fan that's sat unused for two summers. Floor feels much bigger now.

-Picked up the shoe and pantry organizers I ordered last week. They're not up yet but I have them.

-Found a place to recycle old ink cartridges and took them there. They add up fast when you print books at home.

-Bought a shredder. It's still in the box but I have it. Now I can dispose of my own stuff instead of taking it to my parents' place.

-Did the grocery shopping. Wasn't on the list but needed to be done, and I'm out of town tomorrow so it had to be today.

I might still hang a couple of pictures, and I have another text block that needs its cover made, but it was a very productive day already. I'm satisfied even if I don't do anything else today.

Edit:

-Shoe racks: hung, filled with shoes

-Pantry organizer: assembled, filled with bottles of Torani syrup

-Pictures(3): hung, filling room with joy

-Book cover: begun, being squished flat while the glue dries

I am unstoppable.

Edit 2:

-Packed up the books that I cleared out last week, and broke down the old worn-out box they were in. I'll be selling the books to the used book store for store credit tomorrow.

I am winning this game.

[daftpatience]

I just bought my first fountain pen recently (it's a Lamy, probably a safari) and I'm nearly out of replacement cartridges. I'm looking forward to going back to the stationary store and maybe messing around with a converter so I can use different inks. Trouble is I've only ever run out of ink when I'm at work, I don't want to make a mess, and I have trouble wasting the ink at the bottom of a cartridge. It's not a huge problem and I'll get over it but is there anything you would recommend to avoid either wasting ink from a half used cartridge or making a mess transporting an ink bottle?

ooh, yeah cartridges can get kinda gummy/dry/unusable at the end. you can syringe refill cartridges, and if you can get the same brand of ink in bottle form (lamy does have this) and catch them before they're too dry, then you'll be able to fill them up without rinsing them out so that you're not losing much ink until... the last time you ever refill it lol. problem there is that i don't have any ideas about how to re-seal a punctured cartridge, so it'd still be an at-home kind of job. plus you're risking a bit of the quality of the ink if there's crust and gunk in the bottom that's getting mixed in. it's an option tho! and washed cartridges are perfectly fine to refill which is great if you're on a budget and the converter for your pen is one of those pricey proprietary ones. yay recycling!

that said, the nice thing about converters is that you don't need to wait until the pen is empty to refill them. if you know you run out of ink maybe once a month or so, you can top up your pen at home every 2 weeks (or whatever your usual halfway point is) so that you'll essentially never be out of ink when you're out and about! set yourself a little reminder and make it a chill part of ur routine if you want!

also, if you really wanna bring ink out with you (i do this sometimes hehe) i find these styles of sample ink vials are great for transport. the caps seal well, the bottoms are tapered so that the pen can draw up every last bit of ink, and they're just the right size to carry enough to refill a pen like 2-4x depending on the cartridge capacity.

just make sure you've got some paper towels too!

For anyone with an HP printer who wants to save on ink and not give more money to HP, try buying from Coloretto ink:

They use recycled cartridges filled with new ink, and it's usually cheaper than the main brand.

Now, I will be honest: I don't know if Coloretto needs to give a cut to HP to do this, so it is fully possible HP gets some money. But if so, they likely get less than if you bought from HP.

And while I would advise people not to buy new HP printers...I really don't think everyone throwing their already bought printers in the trash will do anything more than waste materials and damage the environment.

So buying from Coloretto is a great way to restock on ink without buying directly from HP.

[petermorwood]

O senior pen user! I have been a dedicate of pencils for years but finally found a pen I like (Staedtler triplus fineliner). How do I tell when to stop using the pen? It seems wasteful if ink still comes out, even if it's a pain/not fun to use anymore. And if I like these sharp points, small bodies - is there a refillable/fountain pen I should investigate?

If the pen's getting scratchy it's time for a new one. Scratchiness means the tip - AFAIK Triplus Fineliners are fibre-tipped - has worn down, or there's not enough ink coming out to properly lubricate the contact between tip and paper. Either way it's refill or (unless recyclable) landfill.

*****

Check Goulet Pens and Jet Pens for refillable fountain pens with fine nibs.

It's possible to experiment without spending very much, for instance the Jinhao 993 Shark from Goulet is $3.95. I might get one of these for @dduane, because of Ed-related Reasons. :->

The Platinum Preppy from Jetpens is $7.00...

...and the Pilot Penmanship, also from Jetpens, is $10.00.

All are refillable using cartridges or (AFAIK) a convertor for bottled ink.

Personal opinion: in my experience Pilot nibs at the cheap end of the range have been consistently superior to how they might reasonably perform for the price. Maybe I've just been lucky, however DD's two Pilot Metropolitans continue the "better than paid for" trend.

I'm pretty sure both Jet and Goulet could refine the search even further if you emailed them with a query like "What (inexpensive) fountain pen writes as fine as a Staedtler Triplus Fineliner?", although my recommendations may already fit the bill. :->

I've bought stuff unavailable in Europe from both companies - those Pilot Metropolitans had stub and fine nibs, for instance; for some reason the Pilot MR equivalent over here is medium-only - and they were very prompt and friendly even though my orders were just small ones from a customer unlikely to be frequent.

Hope This Helps!
