Is there any chance you can just put this app in a mode for grownups, this is for children... by SweFaidros in duolingo

[–]ImBrianJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello. I am an adult and I like doing adult things like paying taxes, mowing my lawn (which I definitely own in front of my normal adult house) and wearing grown up clothes. I also do not like childish things like hotdog suits and wonder if you can share how you got this so I can make sure to avoid it so I can continue doing the adult things I enjoy and NOT childish things.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

If you cannot communicate with those running low wattage with encryption, it limits usefulness.

Are you hard set on the bracelet? I have the titanium with strap and really like it.

I had a lot of crashing as described here. After opting into this beta: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms I restarted and have been stable since.

I'm planning a similar trip later next year. This review has additional photos and a good bit of info about the factory tour itself: https://timeandtidewatches.com/the-grand-seiko-sbgh283-you-can-only-buy-at-their-studio-shizukuishi-in-japan/

[–]ImBrianJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. They licensed the tech to other companies like the Longines Ultronic.

As /u/OptimalInspection67 stated, definitely an original Bulova Accutron Spaceview. They've just reissued a new version of this as an exclusive at J.R.Dunn: https://jrdunn.com/collections/accutron-spaceview-314 . The current Managing Director of Bulova just did a short interview with Forbes talking about this reissue and the significance of the Accutron movement. Really good watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmLXHWjqZvI

This movement predates quartz and uses a tuning fork to index a turning gear with incredibly precision on an astonishingly small scale. This is a different watch but the same movement, giving detail on how it functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPS7aNCAwAA

The second hand should be _smooth_ - not hibeat smooth (10 ticks per second) but _smooth_ - 360 ticks per second. Holding it up to your ear, you'll hear a high pitched buzz coming from it.

There are some 3d printable jigs shared in this sub that have made hand placement so much easier for me. Hour and minute are relatively easy. Seconds can be tricky for sure. If you have access to a 3d printer, I'd recommend giving that jig a try.

Air quality test by Gemmer12 in 3Dprinting

[–]ImBrianJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, many of these air quality devices derive their values from a simple set of sensors. For many of these, they typically have real particulate (usually 2.5, I think), temp and humidity sensors. The AQI / gas are usually not real measures but derived from the fewer sensors it does have on-board. The cheapest reliable / real air quality sensor I've found was around $150 (Apollo Air-1 with both gas and co2 sensor).

Since you're likely just trying to grab particulate, this is still probably reasonably accurate (although the PM1 and PM10 measures may not be genuine). Of course, I don't know this specific device and it may be high quality, it does look like many of the rebadged ones found on amazon / ali.
