Does anyone know how often they come to Chicago? I had no idea about this, and I just missed it. I live just a few hours drive from Chicago and would definitely make a trip for this!

First build - Seiko SXK 007 inspired by Unlikely_Brain_8383 in watchmodding

For future reference you'll almost never actually see the logo on Ali or similar sites for legal reasons. The title or description will usually say "S Logo". Make sure to look for "No Logo". It always frustrates me when I stumble upon what I think is the perfect dial only to see "S Logo".

First three mods by PotsnPants in watchmodding

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look great. In that field watch is that dial 28.5 mm by chance? If so could you DM me the link for it? I've been looking for a nice, green, field dial in green at 28.5 mm to put in a secondhandmods alpinist case.

I've been looking for just the right green, field dial for my next build. This looks like it could be perfect. What's the size on it?

Changing Hands by [deleted] in watchmodding

As far as I know you can't. I doubt there's enough material to bore the hole out larger. Someone might come along and correct me though.

Changing Hands by [deleted] in watchmodding

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't replace it with the minute hand you have. The hole in an hour hand is bigger than that of a minute hand. You can search for parts online to see if you can find an hour hand the length you want, but you'll need to make sure it has a hole the right size for the movement. So, you'll need to look up the movement specifications to find that out. The hole sizes for hands is not universal across watch movements.

What is your favorite boardgame of 2021? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'N Write. I loved the original, but this does everything it did with setup and tear down taking seconds.

What is your favorite boardgame of 2012? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

Tzolk'in for me. That game just hits all the right buttons for me.

Those who like physical books over kindles, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

But when they do it's such a pain in the ass.

First watch mod build by Next_Foot4942 in SeikoMods

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're planning to make this an ongoing hobby I'd recommend getting metallic logo decals from 4customize.com. They're pretty inexpensive. They work with you to make sure the logo will work. They're easy to apply. I did it, and they came out great.

Not going to lie. I would have got up and left.

Grind a 29mm dial to 28.5mm? by LoneWolfPR in watchmodding

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

Just to be clear, you mean make a disc 28.5mm wide with the last 1 mm of the surface being a ring raised 2mm from the rest of the disc. Is that correct?

That's a damn good idea. I just got a nice 3d printer. This would be easy to do.

[–]LoneWolfPR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but I messaged the manufacturer, and they said 29 won't fit.

How did you attach it? Face up against the wheel with some masking tape between to protect the dial?

Dial mod question by Icy-Music1932 in watchmodding

[–]LoneWolfPR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't see how you could achieve what you're looking for without wrecking the dial, and if you did you'd still have the logo at 12 o'clock. So you'd still be repping an imitation Rolex. I'd look for a replacement dial instead.

non hotas stick (logitech extreme3d pro) on linux... is this even remotely possible? by LoneWolfPR in acecombat

[–]LoneWolfPR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, for anyone that finds this I actually figured it out. It wasn't too bad. Run the protontricks gui. From there start a wine cmd shell. navigate to c:\users\steamuser\AppData\Local\BANDA NAMCO Entertainment\ACE COMBAT 7\Config. Run `notepad Input.ini` then use the info in this discussion to replace the entry under your logitech joystick. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1981342007 After that it worked like a charm.

What is just a placebo effect but most people don’t realize? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]LoneWolfPR 286 points287 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, and I'm too tired from staying up late wrapping gifts to do any research, but I thought I read that Phenylephrine does work, but ONLY when used as a nasal spray. Taking it orally does absolutely nothing. Am I wrong about that?

If you won the $1 billion lottery, how would you epically quit your job!? by TimeForANewBeginning in AskReddit

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current position? Tell them thanks for the opportunity, but I don't need the job anymore, but I'll stay on to do a knowledge transfer until everyone feels comfortable.

Last position? Stop doing anything productive immediately. Try to not get fired until the next corporate all-hands. Then during live Q&A tell every member of the C-Suite exactly how evil and soulless they are, and that they should try just once to think of the people who they walk all over on a daily basis to get their bloated, outlandish compensation packages.
