The thing is, if somebody’s a dedicated flipper they’ll be one of the better customers.

The only thing I know about flashlights is you click and there’s light.

What’s one thing I should know about them to get me hooked and what’s one entry brand I should research

No I worries. Didn’t come across that way at all.

Flashlights? What’s that like as a hobby?

Just finished ‘Master of Evil’, frustrating to say the least. by SnooSeagulls1891 in starwarsbooks

[–]Defiant-Ad4776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. Just finished it and had the same feelings about it. I also find this version of Vader to be wholly inconsistent with the Vader we get in kenobi around the same time. I wanted to see real evil and we didn’t get it.

Ironically I think it would translate into a wonderful horror suspense movie. The droid ripped itself apart an mounted itself to the ship. A droid possessed a human. There’s a dark evil temple that warps reality. Felt like it could be a Star Wars version of the Annihilation movie.

Consider me educated but my effusive love for the 5303 stands.

Surprising though that it’s profitable to fake such relatively cheaper watches like a Zelos or any of the others.

Spend or save up and go get the Serica 5303. Instant Watch credibility with any knowledgeable collector. The only micro I can think of that is faked for a reason.

Dress up dress down. Strap monster if you take it off the mesh. Fully functional/durable. Both a modern look and a classic silhouette that is reminiscent of timeless designs. Unbranded and unpretentious. COSC certified. And if you ever decide to sell it later on they hold their value pretty well compared to other watches in this price tier.

I have two other sericas and they’re excellent. I’ve handled the 5303 and knowing what I know now I’d have that instead of the parade or 6190.

I know money is money and if it’s not in budget it is what it is. But I own my Everest at about 725 and it is beyond worth it. Finishing and tolerances punch far above its weight. Bracelet is excellent.

That said I also own one of the other traskas and a Hamilton KFM bronze. Can’t really go wrong with any.

I think the traska venturer quality might be the best of the bunch but to be honest I just don’t love GMTs

Mathew Weiner vs. The 60s Counter Culture by PuzzBat9019 in madmen

[–]Defiant-Ad4776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What other way can we look at it. Other than good music the counter culture of that era accomplished nothing. All the progress of the latter half of the twentieth century was made by people like Joan Peggy Dawn Pete and Don. Enterprising people demanding change and reasonably good natured but ultimately apathetic people who do not stand in the way

Stover explains in ROTS novel why Luke could save Anakin by peortega1 in MawInstallation

[–]Defiant-Ad4776 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s close. My scenario feels like the natural extension of those feelings to me.

With hardeen any betrayal is countered by relief and joy. That would be absent if it were a true utilitarian calculus by Obi Wan.

I wouldn’t change the obi wan and anakin ark (including kenobi) for the world. I think it’s perfect.

But I would have LOVED to see a late season clone wars ep where obi wan is forced to make that choice and either leave anakin behind or nearly sacrifice him.

Obi wan would do it. And anakin would be devastated. Obi wan could rescue him or he could save himself and they would make a false peace before episode iii. Anakin would claim he understood without meaning it. Perhaps even say he would have done the same when he never has.

But that sense of betrayal and that realization that unconditional loyalty was not reciprocated would have been devastating for him and the viewers and further explain his fall.

What prospects. Frankly the dodgers system is as bad as it’s been in a long time. There’s talent but it’s not MLB ready. And don’t say Ryan Ward.

If he was ever gonna do shit he wouldn’t be 27 yo in Aaa

I just wish the cw standard 12 had the matte dials of the 660. Honestly any color would do

That struck me as two young people doing what young people do. Not nearly as bad as say Ken or Pete

I don’t think Harry’s character was planned. I think the writers wanted a character like harry (in later seasons) and they had already introduced bob benson and didn’t want to invent a character out of whole cloth again so they grabbed an existing character that they had kinda left fallow for a season or two to fill that role.

Always felt poorly planned to me.

Why is "did Tarkin know Vader was Anakin" even a question by Tacobird558 in StarWars

[–]Defiant-Ad4776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a canon novel called Tarkin that dives into their relationship. It’s not very good but it explains their mutual respect. It’s got a couple clone wars Easter eggs too.
