I use the same oil I use for sewing machines, it is very thin, low viscosity. I apply it using syringe with the bevelled tip of the hypodermic needle cut off.

I put oil everywhere there's metal moving against metal, it doesn't need much, just a thin coat. Too much oil can collect more dust or even drip inside the case.

I think it is impressive, but, who uses this? This is clearly not ready for anything useful. Right now it is just an expensive toy.

Nice!

I'll share what I do, first I remove the casing, the platen and as many plastic and rubber parts as I can, keys included, I don't remove the wheels driving the spools if they are plastic.

Then I soak it with degreaser, let it do its thing for a minute and rinse it with a pressure washer or an engine cleaning gun with water, not too hard just to rinse. This I do two or three times.

To dry it fast and avoid corrosion, first remove the excess water and then put the typewriter in the oven at 45-50°C for about 45-60 minutes.

After that, I oil everything and put it back together.

They call it hallucination because the first guy didn't know the word fabulation.

I want to point out that before calling them hallucinations we already had a word to describe that, fabulations.

I can understand why they decided to not publish the result. I live in Spain, I have no clue how is it in other European countries but here it's like they only take any action when something becomes very widespread or touches the football.

So it is a bit like as they read the report and decided to not spend too much on that.

They asked for extreme detail, it could take a while.

You just need to solve greed.

At home I have a notebook, at work I have a system, so I can deduce the password most of the times.

Who the fuck are the feds in Catalonia? We don't have those.

 

Is there a search parameter to get a list of communities?

I was interested in making my own ink so I can have any colour I want.
I dissolved some oil paint in machine oil, in my first tries I used universal machine oil but it was too thick, so I tried sewing machine oil that was much thinner. That worked much better but it was still a bit too thick so I was having some trouble "making it run" along the ribbon, so I used lighter fluid as a thinner. It worked great.
I eyeballed everything so I can't give proportions of the ingredients, in a future more serious attempt I plan to take some measurements.

It's been a month and still hasn't dried on the ribbon and types well.

Down sides:
I still haven't found a good method for putting the ink on the ribbon, I put a pair of gloves and use my fingers so it gets a bit messy and it is slow.
The other down side was that didn't take into account that there was old ink on the ribbon that darkened my brown ink so much that looks mostly black.

At the top of the What's New tab there's the first line stating the last time the feed was updated.

I've been seeing for quite some time now an extra line there saying "Not loaded: 1". My guess is that one of the subscribed channels doesn't exists anymore. If that is correct, is there a way to know what channel is other than trying one by one?

If it something else, please, what is it? I won't loose sleep but it is bugging me enough to post about it after not being capable of googling (or duckducking) the answer.
