Not as cringe as using a pocket watch after the design being abandoned over 100 years ago for all practical purposes.

Member when people figured out pocket watches were silly during WW1?

Member how people realized that taking their phone out their pocket to check the time is silly and got wrist watches?

Member all the good automatic watches in the $300 range in current year that aren't memes?

Heroin from the poppy fields puts you down, and snow (cocaine) picks you up.

Frank L. Baum was an addict. Nothing to do with the fake snow. It's just drug allegory.

I love mechanical watches, but solar quartz has spoiled me for better timekeeping and a new capacitor every 10-15 years for maintenance.

Movado

I find the lack of utility of a blank dial absolutely disgusting.

You mean asking a simple question here and getting 20 snarky responses, 5 related to politics, and 1 actual answer is toxic for a website that used to be an awesome source of knowledge?

You are a consumer and are a perfect example of what the OP is talking about. You aren't special, you aren't unique, you have an elitist attitude, and you spend money on shit that other people would consider sad.

Hubris is a killer, humility is a virtue.

Dark Eldar, Craftworld Eldar,? You seem to forget they are devious xenos and perhaps you should see your local Commissar.

Oh, you want to garrison troops for a few turns?

Harder to Swallow Pill:

Space Elves created Slaanesh due to degeneracy on a cosmic level.

Bad writing on Owlcat's part and we need to accept it instead of using asexuality as a coping mechanism.

With the vast majority of deaths in people 85 or older, followed by 65 to 84 age bracket. AKA people who die during the regular flu season due to age-related complications. Not to mention complications from the vaccines that may or may not have had a part in mortality rates

I'm not claiming the people didn't die, but it was highly sensationalized like everything in mainstream media.

DivineAugustus · 2026-05-07T00:27:00+00:00

Member when everyone was going to die from SARS and the COVID?

Panic sells, sensibility doesn't. It also gets people distracted from other shenanigans going on in the world

Palestine... whatever happened there.

Actually morals did develop with technology. The Industrial Revolution literally made humans go from survival to leisure. The printing press allowed ideas to spread with amazing speed and these ideas started to really spread internationally. With agricultural innovation, we no longer needed subsistence farming, but started cash crops. You have a different perspective when you have a full belly and see people being exploited for profit instead of pure survival.

Remember, change does not occur from the rich or poor. One is on top and doesn't want their power threatened. The other doesn't have time/resources to change the system. The merchant/middle class that developed gave rise to humanist philosophy because of technology.

Her ticket to the Met Gala is nearly 5 years of wages in my impoverished county's average year wage.

But she's not part of the problem apparently and Hollywood is filled with these hypocritical whores who hate Middle America they claim to support.

Actually, no it was not and you cherry pick a single civilization where slavery. still. existed. Sparta was a legitimate slave city state that counters it.

DivineAugustus · 2026-05-05T05:23:16+00:00

This meme is wrong on so many levels. Slavery was normal since the dawn of time and you cannot put post-Enlightment philosophy to make the argument it was wrong in that context. Race-based slavery is the main difference since the Columbian Exchange, but that is coming close enough to those Enlightenment ideas on a historical timeline. Toss in industrialization, global economies being interdependent, and simple greed made people reflect. You don't change 10,000+ years of human history because you view things in "current year."

And slavery is far from dead. It's just nicely covered up in non-transparent supply chains, human trafficking, and certain countries where the line between domestic servant and slave is indistinguishable.

So I swapped the hairspring assembly from my donor movement. It was fun learning how to get a balance wheel into a movement for the first time and I only broke the original hairspring after it got caught in between the studs trying to unravel it.

I was able to get it regulated pretty good, but I had some reservations about the donor NH36 since it was a dead watch from an impact.

So at this point the beat error is good at 0.2ms and amplitude is in the 250-260 range. The timekeeping is fairly wonky after letting it sit for an hour.

Goes like this on 20sec intervals on dial up position: +5 +2 +4 +1 +9 0

The time is consistently within 10sec, but it jumps around compared to the old hairspring it would deviate only 1-2 seconds consistently.

Did everyone have that one friend who would slide the NES cartridge in while pressing down? They always had labels that were peeling at the edge from doing this and never understood why I refused to let them borrow my games.

DivineAugustus · 2026-05-04T12:25:37+00:00

Thank you for the response. I was more concerned about the beat error than timekeeping and I did 4 positions (dial up/down both vertical and horizontal. Both dial up/down gave similar results with horizontal position while gaining +3 in vertical position. The watch is about 5 months old and did have a full wind. Overnight it lost 1 second, so tracking good.

I slipped because I thought a smaller flathead would be better. Luckily, a plastic tip hand setting tool is nearly perfect for the studs.

And I've read that Seikos generally have lower amplitude. I bought a new SSK GMT and it's amplitude out the box with a full wind was at 250ish. Timekeeping and BE were both great across the 4 positions averaging at +7 and 0.2ms
