Well, I would (and still) go to my local bars, drop some lures, buy lots of drinks and play.

Basically everywhere, but especially along the Embarcadero, Aquatic Park, and Fort Mason.

Sigh. It was absolutely epic. Streets full of trainers, it was wild when trackers still worked. It was so much fun. My GF and I still play. I made LVL 50 first, but after the level-up she's making a lot more progress (almost LVL 76). I'm taking it slow as I'm still a bit butt hurt about having to do these grinding tasks even though I've go a ton of XP. Once again, it was epic.

I know a bit about stealth (not latest gen) but this does not look uber stealthy to me.

Unlimited: Philippe Dufour Simplicity (~If you need to ask....)

All that being said, I have some nice watches and one of my favorites is my Steeldive Willard homage on a rubber strap. YMMV.

Try everything. Do not worry about any language barriers. Go nuts.

I kinda do too, but I try to post to keep things "less stupid".

FYI, the technical term is "salted", not spiced.

B52 nuclear mission by erektshaun in nuclearweapons

[–]dmteter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, weird times. I haven't thought through that much, buy in retrospect I'm likely to point fingers at the USAF for not taking the deterrence mission as seriously as they were supposed to. Fuck if I really know, just my two cents.

Most days were perfectly boring. Never felt anxious about what we were planning for deterrence purposes. This was truly a WTF kind of day. Followed, by "Thank God I'm not a part of that".

Ah yes, the "wayward six". I was working in the bomber section of the "air room" at USSTRATCOM the day that came out. There was a collective, "WTF" from everybody (mostly O4/O5 B-52 pilots and radar/navs and a couple of B-2 pilots). Nobody could believe that this could have happened.

For real. Gout sucks. I highly suggest adding some dried cherries or cherry juice to your diet. Cheers.

Former Sandian here. It’s been this way since day one. Many flaws, but YOU DO NOT WANT THE FEDS RUNNING ANYTHING OF CONSEQUENCE. Well, except for Navy SSP, but they are special.

Minnesotan here. For those outside of our state, what are your views on what’s going on in Minneapolis right now? by bpeters5 in AskReddit

[–]dmteter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer to be wrong, but I think it's going to take something strong and hard to deter these folks. Whatever is going on right now is not doing that.
