Hey -- looks like the guy in the video has a Parker Vector there. (Vindication! I LOVE my Vectors.... :D)

I'll admit that I haven't really watched the video. I ran it forward a bit but don't really have time at the moment. Although I think that it's interesting that he seemed to be pushing vitamin D supplements. I actually take those anyway (but not high dosage ones) because in this hemisphere and at this time of year, it's hard to get naturally generated vitamin D from being outside in the sunlight (and of course I also have the problem of being out in bright sunlight without being lathered up with sunblock ANYWAY...).

Thank you for the identification @inkstainedruth :)

 

 

I thought it was some unique UK brand :huh: , but good to know the Parker Vector is readily available.

 

As for the content, he runs through a meta-analysis that suggests Vitamin D supplementation cuts risk for respiratory infection which is so relevant these days! So you're ahead of the curve @inkstainedruth :thumbup:

Thank you for posting. I like to get mine from foods (I eat liver every week, cheese now and then, and eggs almost every day).

My doctor put me on high dose vitamin D after running a couple of blood tests. Ah, the joys of Irish/English/Scots genetic background.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
