Sorry for going somewhat off-topic but I figure this is a good crowd to ask: anybody have a fountain pen they like below 200€? Looking to graduate from stealing ACN’s disposable pens, but I want to ease into it in case I lose it (pen won’t be strapped around my wrist)

Lamy Safari is a nice entry level fountain pen

Lamy 2000 is in that budget, well made, large ink capacity and a style icon if you like Bauhaus

Thanks everyone, once again the watch bowl delivers! I’m going to order a Lamy 2000, looks like a really good option in the price range I’m willing to commit to this experiment

Can’t go wrong with that choice.

I will just say that one luxury pen will definitely be noticed. I would say double the budget and plunge. That said lamy is nice and if you do a fountain I highly recommend ox blood red ink.

For practical use, a cartridge in my opinion. For ornate purposes (e.g. signing a contract ever so often... Then bottled)

For a daily driver the muji ones are fantastic I hear.

I'm a Pelikan Souveran fan, specifically the M600. They can often be found for around that amount online.

Waterman makes some nice ones too

Hi 👋 Does anyone work in fields related to LCA and EPD?
I'm currently employed (2 YOE, background of Environmental Engineering with a master in Circular Economy) but actively searching for a new higher paid company - I live in Spain and make 20k, it's a struggle. These topics are still pretty new over here so there are not many options.
Any recommendation on finding remote jobs (since I only have the Spanish work permit)?
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
