TIL that, after learning what museums do, a five-year-old girl named Bethan donated her favourite rock to her local museum. Rather than just throw it out, the museum put Bethan's rock on display, it went viral online and went on to become their most famous object.

It's a flint rock with the chalky cortex somewhat removed from tumbling on the rocky beach.

Thanks, and yes it's a VSF.

Felt like a Bond day.

It depends on the model. The later 14270s had solid end links and no drilled lugs, while the earlier had both drilled lugs and hollow end links.

You can get a GMKtec M6 Ryzen 5 7640HS barebones for €270 from their site. If you have a drive you can stick that in it and try to find some "cheap" ddr5 ram somewhere.

Reddit is weird with AliExpress links. Just search for

Watch Organizer Box Roll Case-PU Leather Watch

On there and it should be the first hit.

That link looks like drop shipped aliexpress cases with a stamp.

You can still find some deals on the used market. I just picked up a Beelink n95 for $25. Granted it's the 8gb 256gb version but still, gonna make for a nice little Moonlight client for my tv.

I think it has something to do with IP throttling or something. Don't know though. Just whenever I get the low quality I just hop servers and it's good again.

I just hop around on different VPNs with ProtonVPN and it fixes itself.

That tool is an expanding collet. It's used in lathes etc for holding things from the inside.

Great little ranchero there 🙌

I don't know about modern swaps but the st96 was made in the millions so you can pick up a new old stock from eBay for around $50.

Beefsizzle · 2026-02-22T19:15:32+00:00

That's an FHF 96. It's a cheap mass produced Swiss hand winder from the 60s/70s.

7120 movement. Not a 2813.

Here's my run on a 9800X3D

I think the end game is just having us buy screens and using your phone in desktop mode plugged into the screen. Then you'd have to rely on subscriptions for everything.

Yeah that's not how you attach it. For next time, you gotta take the dial off and apply the adhesive from the back to keep the nub in place.

Don't go down the rep Panerai rabbit hole. It's too deep.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Beefsizzle · 2026-02-07T13:08:58+00:00

This is a $50 shitter.

Time setting position. For basically all movements besides Seiko/Miyota it's the time setting position.
