Which is bunk. There's, like, a spider species named sonicus hedgehogidae or some shit like that, for the lulz, but heaven forbid we name this guy after his lookalike.
Yeah yeah, rules and conventions, blah blah blah. Some rules need to be broken.
Been looking into these lately after seeing so many posts about them here. I think I've just about settled on either this one or the Retroid Pocket 5, they seem to be roughly similar from what I can tell. Looking forward to full reviews of both once they're available to help make the decision.
Halfway settled on the CubeXX at first, but I think the rectangle screen would be a little more useful than square, and there are a few PS2 and N64 games that I'd love to play and I think it's too underpowered for that.
And shuffling the same 30 songs out of my 1000 song playlist over and over and over.
I'm sorry, Calvin.
According to the side of the Kraft box, I'm a family of 4.
Absolutely, that would have been perfect.
I grew up with the US one. Yours looks better. Classier maybe, more grown up or something. Ours looks like Fisher Price.
Were blades the original UI for Xbox 360 or were they the update? I remember getting a beta invite to try the new UI, I can't remember whether it was going to or away from blades. But yeah, I liked that one too.
I want that keyboard.
TIL Private Pyle is the Law and Order dude!
Now I wanna reticulate some splines.
A story, in 19 titles.
Really was trying for more Bea than Arthur, got more Arthur than Bea. This is the closest the bingolator would give without violating some rule or another. It's a shitpost, whaddya want?
I bought this Christopher Ward C60 #tide earlier this year, and I'm loving it! I purchased it on the bracelet, and also ordered the matching #tide strap.
Fit and finish is fantastic. I absolutely love their quick release bracelet! It's amazing! I really wish more watch bracelets had something like this. My other daily driver is a Speedy, and I would actually wear it on a bracelet more often instead of sticking to NATOs and other quick release straps if it wasn't such a pain to switch. This watch feels great on the wrist. At 42mm, it's arguably just a tiny bit too big for my 6.75" wrist, but it feels perfect to me. At least it's not one of those ridiculous giant Invictas, right?
The highlight of this watch is the wave pattern on the transparent blue dial. The waves are a little bit lumed, so even in the dark, it's got character. I'll be honest, though, I'm a bit underwhelmed by it. Compare my photo to the one on their website. When I took my photo, I'd been out in my backyard for an hour or two "watching the smoker," (read: laying in a hammock, scrolling Lemmy, occasionally glancing at temps) and then went straight to the completely black garage. So it would have been plenty charged up. You can see the waves, for sure, and I still think it's a cool effect. But it's not anywhere near as bright as their marketing photo suggests. But the wave pattern and the semi-transparent dial still look great even in daylight, so it's not a super big disappointment.
I'm not a scuba diver, but I've taken it swimming in the ocean and a lake or two, and it keeps on ticking. It's got 600m water resistance, which is more than enough for anything I ever plan on doing with it. But there's an awful lot of watches that cost many multiples of this one with only 150, 200, 300 meter ratings, and everyone knows how "accurate" those are anyway. So this one having double the usual depth rating was still nice. I don't need it, I don't really care, but the big number makes me feel better. I bought this to be my GADA watch, so having double the usual depth rating was reassuring, even if the "DA" in "GADA" won't ever mean diving to anywhere near 600 meters for me. It means I don't have to care. That's what I'm going for.
I can't really comment on it's accuracy, because i don't wear it every single day and I don't keep it wound, but when it's on for a few days in a row I don't have to change anything. It's absolutely good enough for me, but I'm not you. It's a Sellita SW200 movement, I imagine if you're subscribed here, you probably don't really need me to elaborate.
This was my first experience dealing with international shipping, and it went smoothly. I got an email from DHL when the watch arrived in the States, paid something like $90 for customs, and the watch was at my door maybe 4-5 days later.
Christopher Ward's customer service is great, too. A couple months after I bought it, I somehow managed to lose one of the keepers from the strap, slipped off somehow I guess, lost to the fifth dimension. I sent them an email asking if it was possible to get a replacement keeper without buying a whole new strap, and they sent me one. Totally my fault but they fixed it anyway. Go them!
All in all, I'm totally happy with the purchase. It's one of my two dailies (for now...), and it will be in the rotation for a good long while. It's great looking, great feeling, keeps good time, goes swimming, and it also glows in the dark a tiny bit more than most other watches. I'm just a rando on Lemmy, but if you're coming here for opinions, you can't go wrong with this one!
This awesome new plate was my Father's Day gift from my daughter. It's fantastic, and huge, and it'll definitely be serving steaks tonight, and whole-ass briskets in the future. I just wanted to show it off to the dads here. All of a sudden I kinda feel a little sorry for all the dads that don't have their own custom daughter-painted grill plates. Hopefully you get one soon!
I'm glad there's a r/daddit equivalent on the fediverse. That was one of the most recent subs I'd found and joined before spez went crazy, glad some of you boys have migrated over here. Cheers, gents!
What about the amount of single moms in my area?
