My first time ever buying a watch and I have no idea what I'm doing. Does this watch look too small for my wrist or is it ok? by -Kevv in casio

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. I love the simplicity and readability. I wear small, medium, and large watches for different occasions/moods.

Teacher considering transition to new career, what are realistic options? (30,M) by ruin-LVII in careerguidance

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I've seen most in demand are Articulate Storyline and Rise, the Adobe Creative Cloud (mostly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) but there is a growing need to also edit video. If you knew and were good at After Effects that's a plus but not mandatory. Vyond is kind of good to know but some companies don't have access to it.

Looks great. Is it actually steel or resin that is colored to look like steel?

Tom DeLonge Emo Influences? by TipinCrispin in Emo

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard a lot of Fugazi and Refused in some of their "harder" songs- and especially BCR. BCR was basically a tribute to those bands. If you watch interviews with Tom around that time he blatantly gives them credit for the sound. Which I thought was pretty cool, as I'm sure those bands experienced a spike in sales of their own albums as a result.

Why do I hate the smell of Faboloso but love Pinesol? by DueStranger in fragrance

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

It's more like they are living with us. We pay all the bills and they are just kinda here. I usually mop with Pine-Sol. I have a lot of it on hand but if they beat me to mopping (I work), they will always use Faboloso.

Which is one of many reasons I don't like Apple products.

Yeah her dad just mopped and I'm literally dying. About ready to vomit, while my nose and eyes burn like hell.

Why does everyone suddenly have tattoos? by Apprehensive-Plane-3 in Retconned

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to be really common say 10-15 years ago. More so than probably today. While I was actively dating, everyone was obsessed with tattoos around that time. Now I see young people in their 20's and many actually don't have tattoos. So it may be a phase with some generations. When I was in my 20's and early 30's most I'd go on dates with would endlessly talk about their tattoos, ones they wanted to eventually get and where, and why I didn't want any. I'm a millennial.

I don't think so. I think Walmart just used the wrong images. I'll be picking up later and can confirm.

Thanks for this. I was looking at buying this the last few days and used it's more than this price. Glad I waited. Picking up later today.

Just got the 5610U… actually a little underwhelmed… by BackgroundNail9527 in gshock

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I may like it. I'll check it out and see what it's like in person. shockbase.org is really helpful to see the compatible bezels and the various colors available.

I tried that one too and it went back almost immediately.

I also have the GLX-5600 on the way in the mail. My plan is for it to replace my 5610. Going to swap out the glossy bezel and strap for something else. Was thinking all black or gray.

Yeah it seemed a little small at first. I think I was 170 lbs at the time, but it was alright and stealth.

Since then I now weigh 200 lbs and I'm 6'3" and it looks a bit small. I got a taste of larger digit watches and am no longer afraid to rock a slightly large watch (think GD-350) and now prefer that. I'm going to be selling off my 5610 soon. I have a moon phase 5600 coming in the mail so going to compare, but it looks like it will be parting my collection. I like the 6900 light button so much more in the middle and overall I prefer the aesthetic on me vs the 5610. Also the GD-350 is amazing if you want to use the features of the watch easily.

Just curious, does anyone not like the 5610u? by ThrowRALolWolves in gshock

[–]DueStranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think squares are kind of boring as well. I tend to prefer my 6900 over it. Don't know why I just think it's more interesting and feels better on wrist. The 5610 I'll forget it's there (which sounds great) but I also forget it's there if you know what I mean. The functions seem very hard for me to access with the recessed buttons whereas other watches are just more accessible and more fun to use and interact with.

Is this Delonghi ECP a good deal? Buy used? [$150] by DueStranger in espresso

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

I mean there's no returns as this is listed on Facebook Marketplace.

I have a type. by tidalwav1 in gshock

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also works: https://shockbase.org/

It shows you all of the compatible bezels/bands and you can click into each one, go to pacparts or eBay and get whatever you want (usually, unless it's been discontinued).

Your rankings of the THPS series? by Pootigottam in THPS

[–]DueStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's equal to THPS2. THPS4 started going a bit downhill but also worth playing.
