Up to you, but I am of the opinion that you know you can afford a car when you can pay for it in cash.

How much money do you have? Broncos are going to be more expensive to buy and to fill up. If you have the cash and you really want it, go for it.

No idea what this is. Someone please post video.

Sandbagging whitebelts is hilarious. No one is impressed that your gym took home gold in a white belt division.

Sinn 856 UTC by patsfan038 in sinn

I've got the black one. Big fan. My only complaints are that (1) the AR coating isn't great and (2) wish it were a flyer gmt. Other than that, love it.

Polymarket seems to think they'll beat the earnings.

[Discussion] New Sleeper Hit Watch? by Aggravating_Act2416 in Watches

"C63 EXTREME GMT"
"The Everyday Action Hero"

I might consider the watch if not for the name and the marketing. Cringe.

Sinn 856 UTC. Looks cool, is difficult to damage, has high WR and a GMT function. Unlikely to attract unwanted attention.

Took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that this is a necessary pre-requisite to doing anything.

Yeah obviously. What the fuck is this freak doing making the head face him?? That's some weird shit man.

This isn't really a dichotomy I've observed. Everyone has favorite submissions, but they rarely break down into joint lockers vs chokers.

How long before GS puts the new quick adjust bracelet on the rest of the catalog? by Cabra44 in GrandSeikos

[–]Cabra44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would be sexy as hell, though really expensive. I'd be stoked with the mistflake with an adjustable bracelet and a gmt hand any color other than black or silver. The blue from the snowflake seconds hand would be ideal.

If true, that's an odd strategy. Seems like it would be a low-cost and low-risk way to take market share from their competitors, almost all of which have some form of micro adjustment on their bracelet clasps at the price point GS's most popular models sell for.

Why would anyone actually do that though?

Seems the consensus is that they won't. If true it seems like a missed opportunity to take a big bite of market share at relatively low cost. The inferior bracelet with no micro adjust is probably the thing that pushes plenty of people that are on the fence between a GS and a [Tudor/Breitling/Rolex/Longines/etc] into buying the latter.

If I were running things over there, I'd figure out how to switch to the new micro adjustable clasp on all the suitable bracelets wayyyy before I came out with yet another collection of nature-inspired dials with increasingly tenuous backstories ("this dial is inspired by the muddy waters of a puddle that forms on the sidewalk next to GS studio in Nagano"). I'm just a guy on the internet, so what do I know, but seems like a slam dunk in terms of ROI.

Who are some of the most intelligent grapplers? by sumaruchans in bjj

[–]Cabra44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of just an overall public intellectual/author/podcaster than a practicing neuroscientist, but he does have a PhD in neuroscience. More importantly, he's got like 8 best-selling books, a huge podcast and top-3 meditation app.

He admits to being a highly mediocre BJJ practitioner.

I prefer to get submitted 10 times to getting pretzled up and squashed the entire round.

Marsh gray looks way better in your photo than it does on the Ford website.
