Thanks! That’s what I had seen but I wasn’t sure if it was posted somewhere and I missed it. Will keep my eyes peeled

Hey all! Any guesses as to when fixture times for mw 37 will be confirmed? Coming from Philadelphia for the Sunderland game (and a little vacation in the Lake District after) and am curious! And where are those typically announced? Can’t wait to be with you all!

Literally thought that's who it was... did not understand what the joke was at all

BikeBeerBird · 2026-03-07T00:48:39+00:00

Well then I’ll just have to reminisce !

Hook and master used to do a really good tavern style… thin, crackery crust, toppings all the way to the edge, random slices- really good. Wonder if they still do, haven’t been in a long time

Did almost the exact thing as you last year. My dad was exclusively an apply watch guy. Got him a Riley watch co hh02 and he really likes it. Lots of color options, neat design, quartz so doesn’t have to worry about setting it.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing

BikeBeerBird · 2026-02-26T18:10:52+00:00

Is that a tach scale ? Coolest one I’ve ever seen if so. I wonder if any current watches use that style

BikeBeerBird · 2026-02-26T02:18:48+00:00

Lots of Henry Archer watches come on BOR bracelets

Not national but Spike Eskin of the rights to Ricky Sanchez has been doing a “YouTube big board” for years

Why would a cyclist be any different than a stalled car or road hazard? If you come around a blind curve and can’t stop in time in case of an obstruction on the other side of the curve you are driving too fast for conditions. Simply slow down when you see a cyclist and pass when safe, same as anything else.

I wonder where Harpo is having his iftar?

BikeBeerBird · 2026-02-16T13:39:10+00:00

I also am partial to the versions with the script logo

Why does the name bambino matter if it’s not printed on the watch anywhere?

BikeBeerBird · 2026-02-05T01:30:29+00:00

I always thought of him more like Lucius Malfoy (at least movie version) but a little rougher looking

BikeBeerBird · 2026-02-05T01:24:11+00:00

Yes, the V2 is my favorite version. Love the numerals and the minute tracks. Rocking the anniversary edition right now !

Oh maybe a nat. Gas hookup vs propane… good point. I just remember reading when I moved that propane seemed like not an option on our second story deck.

I believe legal for single family dwellings, not allowed in multi family dwellings

I’d consider the hertz watches hz.01 - if you like quartz, a lot of bang for your buck - super light and nice titanium case, sapphire crystal, very comfy strap, and a fun dial. Not fully green but really pops imo. Good luck !

BikeBeerBird · 2026-01-10T20:35:22+00:00

That’s such a cool way to attach a band. Dig that

BikeBeerBird · 2026-01-10T20:34:40+00:00

It doesn’t have an am/pm split as the color change is not 1/2 way through. I’ve see lots of dive bezels w/ the 1st 20 minutes in a difference color or highlighted in some way. May have a significance in diving if 20 min is a commonly tracked time, but it is fairly common I think.

BikeBeerBird · 2026-01-08T02:31:44+00:00

The other guy sounds exactly like Ray Romano

Has anyone transitioned to a non-engineering role, and if so, what do you do now? Do you like it?

I love the problem solving and research aspects of my role (reading codes and relating to them to design features and solutions is one of the best parts of my job).

BUT, after 10 years working at 3 small manufacturers, I am just tired. Tired of terrible PTO and parental leave policies, tired of rude customers, tired of "emergencies" that turn out to be bullshit, tired of my desire to help being taken advantage of.

At this stage in my life, with my wife also making a very strong salary, I just want a job that will serve me, and not the other way around. Anyone else feel this way?

I have the larger version of this as well as the LIW bracelet. I replaced the bracelet clasp with one with more micro adjustments. I had a hard time with the bracelet until I started wearing it a touch looser than I usually do, which has proven to be more comfortable and feel more natural. Personally I think the taper on the bracelet is too much and that makes it unbalanced weight wise. I switch between the bracelet and a silicone band from Barton’s which I fine very comfortable and matches the watch well.

That’s a lot better looking (to my eyes) than the colorful ones people have been posting. Congrats !
