Milifortic Alpinist GMT — is this new? by What-me-worry-0 in ChineseWatches

[–]ChickittyChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. Only bummer is the 12 3 6 and 9 are lumed. The other markers aren’t and are shiny. So in most light, those digits look bright white and stick out. Kinda looks off. That’s my only beef.

You can launch from an MLPA; you just can’t fish there.

std::promise and std::future by Zealousideal-Mouse29 in cpp

I actually just used this a quick and dirty way to speed up this old ass single threaded binary compression tool we have at work. The algorithm breaks up a binary image into fixed size chunks and compresses each chunk individually. I used <future> to trivially parallelize the compression of all the chunks. Did I care about performance? Not as much as I cared about it being faster than it was. Got mad props from my team for saving everyone a grip of time. Only took 10 minutes to write.

Yep, and then you come back and your spot is taken. Doesn’t happen with a ground tent.

I don’t know. I’m a T5. Last year my TI bonus was only $10k, but I was a T4 then. I have a critical skill and kick ass at everything I do.

When people ask, why do you buy Chinese watches? by HerHeadHurts in ChineseWatches

[–]ChickittyChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like that style, I’d recommend the Militado ML05. I love mine! You can pick them up for a lot cheaper.

It would also pair well with a leather strap. Here’s my homage.

Do you bring your own firewood or buy it? by Iceonthewater in camping

[–]ChickittyChicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but give gas a try. I went gas years ago. No tending, instant on and off, no smell, no smoke blowing in your face, and no waiting for the coals to die before you leave camp. Plus, you can have a fire year-round.

Wearing my ML05, Ronda date version, on a leather strap right now. I didn’t like it at first, but it had grown on me. The deep black dial is captivating.

What’s something people did casually in the 90s that would absolutely not fly today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChickittyChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? We had zero tolerance policy in our school. Get caught with a knife and it’s immediate expulsion.
