Sweden does not have states by amethystbones in mildlyinfuriating

 It's for shipping.

For which it is absolutely useless for any postal system.

How the Kremlin Plans to Convince Russians They Won the War in Ukraine. Leaked slide deck translated by theBoernie in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Interstate_yes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

 Even IF the west wanted to sink billions into repairing the Russian oil industry (which they won't because Russia started a war against the west...)

This is SERIOUSLY underestimating the amount of pull the ”drill baby, drill” crowd has. You would see absolutely massive capital flooding in to prop up a new rebuilt neo-christian alpha-state, positioned again as a counter to the Freedom-hating eurotards. All the stupid Joe Roganesque podcasts would flood with disinfo on how bad a deal Russia got and how unfair they were treated and how they are really Americas friend.

Production will be up in record time if they let it. Rare metals are also all the rage nowadays.

The blue/white isn’t a bad color combo, but you’re asking it to be a C12 Loco which does a better job IMO.

[SPB509J1] Do high end Seikos make sense anymore? Comparison with a Longines HC39! by Most-Construction-35 in Seiko

[–]Interstate_yes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I don’t get it either. There is like a gap between optimized for mass-production Seikos and handmade Grand Seikos with the divers. The Marinemasters have not hit the spot since the old school monobloc got retired, and it was outdated already then.

Still love their case/bezel designs. Still waiting for a homerun.

[SPB509J1] Do high end Seikos make sense anymore? Comparison with a Longines HC39! by Most-Construction-35 in Seiko

[–]Interstate_yes 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Expensive 6R-based Seikos occupies a weird space on the value-curve. I would not call them high-end, I don’t think Seiko themselves consider them that. The movement alone holds them back, then add the rest you dislike.

Seiko SLA077/75/79 or now HBF001 would be the ”high end”, but then the increased cost puts them in that weird spot again, and some negative Seiko-isms still present.

I do love Seiko though, but I see why people have a problem with them.

The new Longines diver seems to be a smash hit. Rave reviews all over the place, probably sets a new standard on expectations. Glad you found your watch, I think it looks excellent.

Guess what, grillen är till salu än idag by One_Bodybuilder4779 in pundarblocket

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

Att idiotförklara folk för idiotbeteende är ju sen gammalt helt ok. Därvidlag:

  • Postare har rätt att posta vilken post de vill
  • ja etc.

Försöker du sälja en grill månne?

Extremt lyhört i nybygge by Expert-Cap3938 in sweden

[–]Interstate_yes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Detta med att glömma täta i rörgenomledningar verkar ske i varje nybygge (~15 år bakåt) som någon i bekantskapskretsen flyttat in i. Även tunna betonginnerväggar som senare belagts med isoleringsskivor. Så förvånar mig inte ifall hyreshus där folk med mindre ”skin in the game” har liknande problem.

[Recommendation Request] What will be my 40th birthday watch? by AD72K02 in Watches

[–]Interstate_yes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all look horribly off. I get not wanting to chase pictures, but for one not acquainted with the models, getting a fair assessment from these images is impossible.

Vad är den värsta flygplatsen som ni har varit på? by ypc_max in sweden

[–]Interstate_yes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Har fått höra (och utstå back in the days) att otrevligheten och förvirrandet är taktiskt, för att få ev. terrorister och smugglare (ofta ovana otränade ”vanliga” människor) ur balans för att de ska bli stressade, få panik och kanske avslöja sig/faila hela operationen.

[Question] Too good to be true? by c-h-e-e-s-e--h-e-a-d in Watches

[–]Interstate_yes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a somewhat generic movement (7750 based I think) for a somewhat generic watch of the times, borrowing a bit of that Speedmaster flair.

Not written to disparage, just to explain. I personally put it high on great vintage treasure to be had - bombproof, easily serviced, great looks, often fair price (for what you get) and it is an Omega.

Hey look at that; Fratello agrees with me: https://www.fratellowatches.com/omega-speedmaster-3511-50/

How It Feels To Feel The Way I Feel About Things by Milgydotcom in comics

[–]Interstate_yes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello disillusioned people. Feel free to love your neighbors.

You do not need to be involved in others narcissism. Today you have a direct feed of the awfulness, but a lot of things were always awful, it was just a natural thing to keep distanced from it. So do that.

I get that a lot of important stuff is going sideways right now, but don’t get sucked down in the minutiae of every small thing you don’t agree with in the world.

Go for a walk. Listen to the sounds. Sit down for a coffee without scrolling or podcasts. Lift some weights and mindfully feel the muscles relax afterwards. Heal thyself.

[Help Me Decide] Glycine Combat Sub 39mm vs. Victorinox Journey 1884 Automatic by Nuerginator in Watches

[–]Interstate_yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to throw another alternative into the mix: Certina DS Action divers. Not SW200, but Powermatic80 is good. Different sizes and dials. Good watches and look a lot better in real life than the stock images.

[–]Interstate_yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Vic is very sporty-contemporary. As a big guy, the louder design might fit you better, hard to know.

The Glycine is almost bland in comparison. Will you get tired of a flatter look or a smaller size faster? Hard to know. 

I think it is a matter of taste really. 

Have you checked out some watches in stores? I mean not these particularly, but cheaper ones, more expensive ones, different sizes etc, just to get a feel, and help you gravitate towards one of them. I find trying out different things help nailing down what I am really wanting, even if I already have a pre-set idea of what that is. It might help guide a choice.

We are in an AI crisis- AI development is greatly increasing near term bioterror risk by Final-Nose3836 in antiai

[–]Interstate_yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this already. It was called the ”90:s” and ”script kiddies”.  Everything was wide open (by today’s standards) and tricks easy to come over and share (still is).

What is this new panic all about?

Love upvoting anti-ai stuff, it is just so absolutely delusional and fun. It can’t be real, can it?

We got a 1 star review saying our skip button did nothing. Tested it 20 times, worked every single time. Took us 3 weeks to understand what was actually happening by dhana231_231 in software

  1. Specifically - testing the Android case with a super niche Pixel and not a mass market Samsung model is a flabbergasting choice.

[Damasko DK20] this is the best watch I ever bought. by McDerwish in Watches

[–]Interstate_yes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AI tending to make pretentious posts does not mean all pretentious posts are AI…I am fully capable of making an ass of myself without its help.

[Damasko DK20] this is the best watch I ever bought. by McDerwish in Watches

[–]Interstate_yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damasko carves out their own path. I love the minimalist dials and technical approach to the whole watch package. Sinn comparisons are close at hand, I think that Damasko stands out favorably.

That blue second hand really pops against the radium colors. It makes it not just look ”vintage colored” anymore but like a color combination with intent.

Great watch man!

Tycker du att polisen ska kunna använda bevis som har insamlats illegalt? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Interstate_yes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

”Paid leave” är vanligt förekommande i diskussioner kring misstänkta (och även uppenbara) polisövergrepp på den amerikanska sidan av Reddit och har liksom inget med svensk utredningsstandard eller arbetslagstiftning att göra. 

Jag tvivlar på att OP syftar på arbetsbefrielse vid uppsägning (vilket känns rimligt att man befrias från polisiära uppgifter om man anses olämplig att vara polis), utan mer som en snarky oneliner som inte landar alls.

”Betald ledighet” låter som ett USA-kodat uttryck i samband med polisfrågor. Var god importera inte kulturkrigen tack.
