Rotring 600 Ballpoint Pen

news.ycombinator.com Hi 2025-12-23 03:35:22

The Rotring 600 ballpoint pen is the ballpoint variant of the classic Rotring 600. It takes a standard Parker-style refill that extends with a clicker mechanism. The Rotring 600 is pretty much a timeless classic among precision instruments, and its ballpoint variant stays true to the design. A look at the pen, deconstructed The Rotring 600 ballpoint features an all-metal body. It feels very solid to hold and seems to be pretty reliable. The clicking mechanism is crisp and satisfying to operate

Apple’s F1 movie crosses $500 million at global box office

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-12-30 00:53:23

The F1 movie continues its hot streak at cinemas, with the film still widely resonating with audience a month after its theatrical premiere. The Apple Original Film has now crossed the $500 million mark at the global box office, with the running total now standing around $509 million. F1: The Movie will eventually land on Apple TV+, likely in October. But Apple and distributor Warner Bros. have little incentive to hurry along the secondary release windows if the cinema takings remain as strong

Nearly five full years after Marvel Studios first planted its flag and announced it was coming, the Fantastic Four finally made their MCU debut this weekend. Given the last tries at bringing these heroes to the big screen, and how Marvel treated those characters back when it didn’t own them, it seemed there wasn’t really anywhere for the Four to go but up. But things have changed in the past five years, and now there’s more pressure than ever for them to stick the landing, particularly since thi

That trailer had incredible action, massive creatures, super high-tech weapons, and Elle Fanning as an android being worn as a backpack. We are fully seated. What more could a fan of the franchise want? Well, apparently, a lot more, as Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg was joined by Fanning and others to show fans even more from their November 7 film.

The once most-overlooked Fujifilm camera might become my favorite

Right now, there are five Fujifilm cameras that are using the exact same 40MP sensor. So picking the right one for you can be confusing, but fret not. Most Fuji cameras offer similar results, and your choice might come down to just the form factor. The good news is that Fujifilm’s latest camera, the X-E5 , is packed with top features in a form factor that has won me over. This year, the X-E5 grew in size and price.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Isn’t Quite Fantastic, But It’s Pretty Great

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like an ice-cold drink on a warm summer’s day. A slice of apple pie with a glass of milk. It’s a nice, simple, familiar-feeling movie that will make you feel warm and fuzzy for a while but maybe doesn’t have the lasting power of something stronger. It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable.
