Yes, your escrow can go up that much if your property tax, school tax, or in some cases insurance had a sudden jump in value or changes in what can be claimed. It varies by area and loan, but isn’t unheard of.

That may have been the intention but I can’t find any which have panned out. Mozilla is straddling that weird line of operating both a non-profit and for-profit entity… and as a for-profit incubator for the next big thing, they have a pretty terrible track record.

Honestly I’m actually a little happy about this. I feel Mozilla needs to focus on its core job of advancing its browser and web standards so we don’t get stuck with Chromium-only world (like when us old timers had to deal with Internet Explorer holding the majority market share).

These side projects like running VPN services and social networks may have the best intentions but have had to pull from their limited resources. I would prefer they get spun off as separate projects instead of pulling resources from the parent company.

Unfortunately we’ve been in a heatwave and drought here, so the leaves are just changing from dead to more dead. However I think I may bring out Noodler’s Apache Sunset or Diamine Ancient Copper for my “walking around” pen.

No!.. but please continue! 🤔

It may be easier to find a more well behaved ink instead of trying to get everyone else at the office to use a heavier paper. However, Rhodia, Tomoe, and Clairefontaine are your go-to papers that are fountain pen friendly. But this isn’t exactly something you’d keep around to run through the office printer.

If this is a private printer and you’re running a few pages occasionally, you could get a decent A4 notepad and pull pages as needed.

Not going to lie, I do the same. I love playing with cheap pens and just got a bunch of Jinhao 51s and a few Wing Sung VACs. It’s hit and miss but you do find some gems (some of their resin colors look amazing). Plus, if you accidentally drop one in the toilet at work you don’t get sad.

Downside is having so many pens on hand leads to inking too many pens at once.

I probably should experiment with these “micro blog” options and write up a few reviews. There are a ton of garbage AI generated “reviews” for these cheap pens, and it getting hard to find pens that come from a actual factory / distributor that has a ton of capacity… vs someone trying to scam.
