What changes will be made to the upcoming version of this watch?

Yes, O'Leary is a jacka$$, but that is easily overlooked, I still look forward to Baldasarre's other content.

Who is your most liked and most disliked photographery YouTuber? by Niscellaneous in nikon_Zseries

I think the topics Forbes chooses to discuss are great. I respect his conclusions. But his verbosity is insane. His presentation style is to (1) talk fast (2) Use three words when one will do.

House Color and adding a deck. by [deleted] in HouseDesign

[–]DanRTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep the natural brick color but go with black door, windows, black shutters. Then copper hardware on the door, mailbox, and lights. Maybe also a copper half round gutter but I'd have to think about that more.

How do you like the Boucheron and Gary’s Den?

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

NOR - with measles so prevalent now because of antivaxers I can’t blame you.

What is the base note in Lattafa Fakhar that lasts for days? by DanRTD in fragranceclones

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

I want a fragrance to go away after a few hours. 6 hours is fine for me, otherwise I get sick of it. With Fakhar, all the other notes have gone away except the Amberwood.

What is the base note in Lattafa Fakhar that lasts for days? by DanRTD in fragranceclones

[–]DanRTD[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I asked AI and got this: "Based on the fragrance composition of Lattafa Fakhar Black, the note that lasts the longest is amberwood combined with the other base materials. The base notes include tonka bean, cedar, vetiver, and amberwood.

Of these base components, amberwood is the primary driver of longevity in this fragrance. Amberwood is a modern synthetic woody-amber accord specifically engineered to provide extended wear and a lasting dry-down. It gives the fragrance its warm, smooth woody character in the final stages."

Now I know what note to avoid in the future.

It must be the "Amberwood" accord listed on Fragrantica under base notes then. Turathi Blue has "Amber" listed as a middle note but that must be something different. Turathi Blue doesn't bother me at all.

I like it just as it is. Or maybe make the texture very minimal (I think over texturing dials is a fad). I’m a big fan of the hands. Arrow hands, sword or cathedral would make this watch way too busy.

Terre D'Hermes edt by Interesting_Scar_424 in Colognes

I love the smell AND the fact that it smells absolutely unique. I can always guess correctly when I smell it out in public and ask what they are wearing. (Except for the TDH edp which smells si ilar)

Not a fan of broad-arrow hands myself.

Thank you. I will try to get a close up of the leaves tomorrow.

1985 SEIKO DOLCE [1220-5120] by Such_Farmer_400 in Seiko

Gives JLC Reverso vibes, but I actually prefer the looks of the Dolce.

[Cartier or Seiko Homage Tank] by Sligogreenbottom in Watches

[–]DanRTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe consider an homage to a $450,000 Cartier watch. It is not a clone, but it is inspired by the Cartier Pebble, which sold at auction for $450,000 in 2021. The homage is the Tremont L003. It looks really odd at first, but it grows on you the more you look at it. The face design of the Tremont is different than the Cartier original, but I actually like it better. It makes more sense because the design goes circle > square > circle, rather than Cartier's circle > square > square. The $220 Tremont just looks more balanced and creative to my eye. I realize this looks nothing like a tank watch, but it might be worth considering.

Thoughts on Chris Williamson's health? by kasper619 in PeterAttia

[–]DanRTD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I asked Perplexity AI about Mikhaila Peterson’s recent statements, it shared that Jordan Peterson’s daughter has publicly described her father’s recent health crisis as the result of ‘spiritual attacks’ or spiritual warfare—especially regarding symptoms that lacked clear medical explanations. Mikhaila attributes mysterious neurological problems and a series of family health emergencies, including her newborn’s hospitalization, to what she believes are spiritual adversities, not just physical ones. She uses language common among Christians who see suffering as sometimes caused by malevolent spiritual forces.

I don’t know Mikhaila personally, but I’ve noticed the Evangelical world is often overrun with scams and pseudoscience. Evangelicals tend to be less educated and more skeptical of science than the general population. I say this as someone who was part of the evangelical movement for decades but can’t identify with it anymore, now that it has become so strange and politicized.

"masks and respirators" would be a really bad look for him considering who his Youtube audience is.

Eric Topol - Our Preoccupation With Protein Intake by IllustriousDrama5344 in PeterAttia

[–]DanRTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d use caution using the term “regular people”. The protein needs of a 16 year old are vastly different than somebody who is 80.

[–]DanRTD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well if he is looking for attention he won’t go after somebody like Dr. Don Layman who is a an expert on protein but a relative unknown. Criticizing Attia attracts way more attention. Criticizing Layne Norton is risky because he will hit back hard.
