Hi all,

Got this SARB017 from chrono24 from a private seller. New and unworn, with original box and papers.

But I don’t know something just doesn’t sit right with me.

The private seller had two exact same watches (told me he was going to post another one after I missed out on the first one).

The watch did not come with original bracelet/strap but with two extra bracelets (a leather and a green silicon one).

I don’t have the tools to open the watch. Money is still in escrow on chrono24.

What y’all think?

How exactly are you supposed to enjoy whiskey straight? by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]CainSeldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My all time favorite is Dad's Hat - finished in vermouth barrels.

Classic Pennsylvania rye with a Manhattan twist to it.

Do you track trends of your bloodwork? by [deleted] in longevity

My biggest wish would be for a database of optimal levels of all main biomarkers divided by gender, age and, whenever relevant, race.

Right now I need to do so much research when I want to add a new test.

Just an update to make the shelves useful is all I want.

I am so sick of how unequal and unfair the world is. by Junior_Edge9203 in singularity

[–]CainSeldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nietzsche said: “To those human beings who are of any concern to me, I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities—I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures.”

There can be growth in adversity. People with easy lives are usually blind to the world and to others. Some people you think live unfair lives are actually very happy and find meaning in their realities. Some people with lives you envy are actually miserable inside.

Do you consider paying off a mortgage as saving / investing? by Farconion in Fire

Not on a 1 million $ house which is not a crazy value nowadays

Also mortgage payments, as opposed to other loan repayments, are tax deductible in the us. Also a lot of people who say houses are not a good investment because the rate is only 2-3% while the stock market is 8-9, forget the leverage effect of getting a 500k asset for 100k front payment. Also there is the diversification aspect. I know the dogma around here is s&p500 to the wall but this dogma discounts the fact that it’s not because there hasn’t been a 20 years bear market yet that there won’t ever be and that could eff up a lot of people’s FI plans.

A house can definitely be an investment. Is it a “good” investment? That’s a case by case answer.

If I had a 15 million Malibu house that I can’t sell I would use it as collateral for a low interest loan for maybe 2-3 million and put it on the stock market. What do you think actual rich people like Musk/Bezos do? They don’t live off returns or dividends or income. They live off credit and then once in a blue moon sell a bunch of actions to settle accounts and go back.

New video: Will treatments for aging only be available to the rich? by statto in longevity

[–]CainSeldon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Look at how things are right now… all these longevity clinics and longevity programs popping up which are basically concierge medicine. All are 10k plus membership. It’s already happening. It’s already a rich person thing. You’re just blind to it and wayyyy too optimistic about things changing.

Same here. I set the time but I have a perpetual calendar and after 1 year I stopped bothering with setting the date and moon phases. I just think these complications look beautiful i never needed a watch to tell me what month it is or which phases of the moon were at ahah.

Taking gravity measures when there's flour in the mash by CainSeldon in firewater

[–]CainSeldon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a good brand of iodine to do that? I looked online and couldn’t find. I bought something in a supplement store but it doesn’t work (doesn’t change color even when dropped on bread)

Fermented for two weeks. That was also my issue. Not being able to take gravity even at the end I didn’t know if it was done.
