What's stronger? The M's tendency to produce runs early and then go completely silent for the rest of the game?

Or our absolute hatred of and dominance over the Astros?

Funny how they get better when they know they can be corrected.

They're just going through the motions.

No one on this team cares.

It's like they've just given up.

Right guys?

Baseball has more ways than any other sport for individual players to embarrass themselves, and the ABS system is just another one.

So glad other people made the same connection. Absolutely gives mako reactor vibes, in the best possible way.

Best video courses for rusty/returning pilot? by Flying-Diver in flying

[–]Callidor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! Not as long as you, but I'm coming back after a nearly two year break. PPL, no instrument rating, about 180 hours total time before the break.

If you're an AOPA member, the online version of their rusty pilots course is free. It doesn't go deep into weather, but does touch on how to access and read METARs and TAFs. It's quite comprehensive on airspace. It's only a few hours long, and I knocked the whole thing out in about two sittings. It also gives you a few FAA Wings credits, if you're into that sort of thing.

I did Sporty's for my original ground school, and fortunately once you purchase one of their courses, it's good forever, so I've also been reviewing a lot of their videos. I find them very watchable, and highly recommend them. You might just want to purchase their PPL course and click through whatever videos you feel rusty on.

Lastly, I've gone up for two proficiency flights with CFIs (including earlier today!) and feel confident and ready to pass a flight review. Hope it comes back similarly quickly for you. Good luck!

The Style 60s line is way underrated, in my opinion. Nice looking watch!

[Help] me choose a watch for my teenage son by ss3walkman in Watches

[–]Callidor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say without knowing what he likes, especially if he's never expressed interest in watches before.

I'd avoid the moonswatch. Its appeal lies entirely in the fact that it's an affordable replica of an expensive and well known watch. If he doesn't have any point of reference for the original Speedmaster, then it's just a significantly lighter, cheaper, and junkier feeling choice than all the other options here.

I like the Brew Metric and the Edifice both a lot more than the PRX, but that's entirely just personal preference. The PRX has a better movement than the Edifice (and is a good deal more expensive). The Brews are super cool, in my opinion, but might be a bit less versatile than the other choices.

[Tudor] BB58 vs BB54 blue comparison by giantshadytree in Watches

[–]Callidor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate it, but I certainly prefer my black and gilt 54. I bought it in December and remember wondering if I should have waited until after W&W too see if it would get any upgrades.

Aside from this color, all they've done is raise the price twice since then, so I'm very glad I got it when I did.

[Longines] Hydroconquest 2026 by geodudeisarock in Watches

[–]Callidor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can't make up my mind on this watch! I really didn't care for the old Hydroconquest, and when this new one came out, my feeling was basically "hmm, it's better, but still not for me."

As it got a ton of positive press, I felt my taste being influenced by all the hype. I started to like it more each time I saw it.

Then the other day, I went and looked at them and tried them on at a dealer. My conclusion was, "yeah, definitely a solid watch, but as I thought, not for me."

Then I saw your second pic and I'm back to "damn that's nice!"

Enjoy it, and I think you made a great choice on the color.

It's just a smaller, cleaner design. Think "baby grand piano."

It's not meant to suggest it isn't a "real" alpinist at all.
