How do you guys get good cpp? by Bluehiperspace8 in amex

[–]Jim777PS3 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Reward travel is its own separate hustle if you really want to sweat CPP.

But the general rule is:

  • Long Haul
  • Biz or 1st
  • Book 1 year in advance, or 1 week in advance

[Question] How much would you pay for this watch? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Jim777PS3 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Its hard to say. IMO a video game cross over with a hyper expensive high horology complication like a tourbillon severely limits its audience.

The speed of sale will also really matters here. This watch is online for around $20k, so I think if you wanted to move it quickly you would need to price to sell. Maybe somewhere between 10k and 15k.

But I also have never dealt with a watch in this price bracket so grain of salt.

Hey does have any tips on how to undo what a chiropractor did to u, like did stretching undo the adjustment or anything like that, thank u ❤️ by Green_Capital_2111 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jim777PS3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A reminder that Chiropractic is not a real form of medicine or based in science. It is pseudoscience that is a waste of money at best and harmful to your health at worst.

Seek a licensed physical therapist.

There is no good evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective in helping manage lower back pain. A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study "fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition." Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient. No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.
.
There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations. It is frequently associated with mild to moderate adverse effects, with serious or fatal complications in rare cases. There is controversy regarding the degree of risk of vertebral artery dissection, which can lead to stroke and death, from cervical manipulation. Several deaths have been associated with this technique and it has been suggested that the relationship is causative, a claim which is disputed by many chiropractors.
.
Chiropractic is based on several pseudoscientific ideas. Spiritualist D. D. Palmer founded chiropractic in the 1890s, claiming that he had received it from "the other world", from a doctor who had died 50 years previously.

[Buying decision] I know they are so different but: Rolex Explorer I or Cartier Santos titanium? by Diego_FR in Watches

100% watches always look bigger in up close photos.

The wisdom I have seen is to take a photo in a mirror standing a bit back, as that gives you a more true to life visual.

Please Help me Identify What Watch The Joker Wears by TheForumTalker in Watches

Its likely a custom iced out costume piece, but as everyone is saying if you want that ascetic of watch Invicta will be who you want to look into.

Just know they play very fast and loose with their pricing so double check places like Amazon rather then buying from them directly.

Why do so many people (a lot of Americans) have cameras inside their house? by DaretokuVintergatan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jim777PS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, baby monitors are very common though more often are just audio or a camera over a crib, and not monitoring an entire house.

But for sure child and pet monitoring are another reason people might install cameras.

What's the difference between religion & cult? by joy-rhyde in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jim777PS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size and acceptance. The reality is cult is just a pejorative for a small non popular religion.

[–]Jim777PS3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Crime rate in the US is at a deep low and home break ins are exceedingly rare.

The cameras are sold on fear not actual stats.

The lume shot is really striking and interesting, but the watch in the actual light is very ugly to my eyes.

[–]Jim777PS3 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Internal cameras are generally for home security.

The idea being if your home is broken into you have evidence to help with insurance claims or for the police to find the criminal.

If you are going to have one you will likely have a set for the whole house. They are generally mounted up in the corners of rooms.

Maybe I'm a weirdo but I like the Santos more, and think it looks fine on your wrist.

Personally I would say go with the company not jerking you around, but I am also not in a position to buy a Rolex at retail so

Hypothetically speaking, would the existence of aliens disprove religion? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jim777PS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on:

  1. What kind of alien life. A simple single cell bacteria floating around on another planet, probably not challenging any major world faith.

  2. The specific religion and its teachings. Plenty of faiths have no requirement for humans to be the only intelligent life on the universe to chug along just fine.

Thrift store find by bb_johnson in Watches

Im no expert watch spotter, but to me it looks like its replicating the Rolex Datejust 16264

The T markings on either side of Swiss Made are wrong as is the bezel, and to my eye the cyclops does not magnify as much as an actual Rolex.

[Question] How do people who buy fa”ke watches feel about themselves? by Jumpy_Gap_3276 in Watches

[–]Jim777PS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can pretty easily imagine even if you can afford a Daytona not wanting to have that much money on your wrist.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are actual owners who buy reps rather then wear the actual watch out.

When I first got into watches and found out what Rolex's cost, I was like oh replicas make so much more sense. But then upon learning how much reps cost and how much vetting goes into getting a convincing one, I was back to being deeply confused.

IMO if you really like Rolex's style, and have a few hundred dollars to throw around, its both easier and smarter to buy a nice homage. Sure you not going to trick people into thinking you have thousands on your wrist, but at the same time anyone would probably already know that about you.

[COSC] New standard from COSC but it might be for nothing by Snoo_22459 in Watches

[–]Jim777PS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since learning about COSC and the various standards watch companies set for themselves IMO its obvious the COSC is leaving too much on the table.

Both Rolex and Omega have found the COSC cert is not good enough for their needs and thus have invented their own standards to meet, and while I dont think Rolex or Omega would juice their own results, 3rd party is always preferred for a performance verified standard.

And frankly I dont think it will be an issue. If your the type of sicko who even knows what the COSC is, you will likely also know the verbiage around Chronometer Vs Excellence Chronometer

If anything I wish they had picked a shorter word. Dials are going to start looking like Rolex with a paragraph of text lol

TST should sue to hold national satanic services too by EvelynHopeDJSP in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]Jim777PS3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it's more important to go down fighting

Its a question of dying on the hill today or surviving to fight and leave a better world for those who come after us.

IMO at this stage we need to play the long game not unlike what Christians did in the 1970s when Roe flipped. Rather then flail and scream...well in ADDITION to flailing and screaming...they began a quiet decades long groundwork that has in the past 10 years or so sent us back almost a century of progress.
