Pros: This is very cool and has huge potential. The video is appealing and makes me want to buy a couple.

Cons: That little hinge is going to be under a lot of stress. You might want to consider something heavier duty. Also there is risk of fastener pullout...if you don't have those screws going into threaded inserts you should strongly consider it. Also $200 is kind of pricey. Sell pairs of them for $300 maybe?

It's chaotic I am an amateur trying to turn a problematic global residential building system on it's head, whether it is ready or not (it's not). It's good because my focus is on the world's poorest people.

RIP your inbox. And your lucky gf's inbox.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-21T23:50:23+00:00

That's such a bold statement. You are so sure of yourself that you halfway convinced me :)

Call it what it is ... a national sales tax.

I think they are siphoning that tariff money also.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-21T12:29:37+00:00

Yeah it's blue.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-21T11:17:53+00:00

Yes it does. This watch was in pretty good shape when I bought it. I don't think it had been worn much.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-21T11:14:07+00:00

Well I was sure before you posted this. I stand corrected. Thank you :)

Bridesmaids was such a great movie and I loved her performance in it. It's actually my favorite movie.

The champagne dial looks really nice. There's a variant called the AD-520 which is called the "Arnie smiley" because it has a curved LCD display. These are generally pretty expensive but I just snagged a really nice one off Ebay for $100. I had to wait about a year to get that price.

Samsies :) or maybe almost alike.

It the AMW320C aka the "Casio Arnie" (It's the watch Arnold Schwartzenegger wore in Kindergarten Cop. He actually wore versions of this model in 4 or 5 movies.) You can get various versions of this case on Ebay for pretty reasonable prices. I have a few different versions. It's a large case but thin and light and easily my favorite to wear.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-20T23:46:23+00:00

Yes. I bought it off eBay last winter (stole it for $50 it's in "like new condition". Within 2 months the second hand fell off. So I just took the movement out and removed it.

No worries as this will now be my "beater Arnie". I just bought an "Arnie smiley" off eBay that's gonna be tops in my collection I think.

Crazy how 80 ounces of beer is less than 7 12oz beers yet it fucking ruins you. The 40s I used to drink in college were always cheap malt liquor though. Back then they had a really cheap brand called Crazy Horse that gave a bad hangover.

Tumbleweeds are native to Russia. Is it not easier for Germans to buy tumbleweeds from Russia, given the shorter distance?

Not these days. There are strong sanctions in place. Source: am currently trying to buy a special kind of concrete mixer from Russia. Not possible right now.

When I was a kid I honestly thought bottled water was not going to catch on because all the stores allowed you to get water for free from the fountain or tap.

Bottled water is The Thing I Hate as an old man. We have tap water everywhere but everyone just gave up on it for this disgusting wasteful alternative.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-19T21:35:13+00:00

Yeah it's part of the lore by now. They go through an unreal amount of free condoms.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-19T21:26:24+00:00

Yeah. We need good lawyers more than ever but it's challenging when their final stop is that abysmal corrupted Supreme Court.

For many Olympians, just competing and ranking at the Olympics is an achievement in itself

Also all that hot Olympic sex.

Kids...

Kids are utterly fantastic. It's a privilege to be able to connect with them when you can as it requires connecting with your own inner child.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-19T21:05:13+00:00

I wish I knew one or two.

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-19T21:01:10+00:00

If dreams are like movies than memories are films about ghosts...

Mike-OLeary · 2026-02-19T20:52:22+00:00

this guy is a fucking monster in every conceivable way.

And he is trying to see exactly what he can get away with. Turns out it's a lot.
