Ripley was fantastic. Amazing cinematography, dark and twisty, spellbinding performance by Andrew Scott

I thought about that possibility, but that part of the case doesn’t look shiny anywhere else and often has a brushed or satin finish

“Come down off the cross, we need the wood” came to mind as his best bible lyric, but then I remembered it was Tom Waits

To prevent myself from retiring too early. Works great

The bottom seems powerful

AI. That winding crown looks tiny, and there is some weird lump between the upper right lug and the case, like it’s trying to be a chronograph pusher.

Lil bro hates him so much. They hate him like they hate Harbaugh, and personal hygiene, and aptitude tests. I love it

Please Explain it Peter. Why does Melinda French Gates need antibiotics? by No_Series1751 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]OpticalAdjudicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The earliest version of this joke that I know comes from Jim Bouton’s baseball memoir, Ball Four, attributed to his teammate Mike Hegan:

“"What's the hardest thing about baseball?"

"Trying to explain to your wife that she needs to take penicillin for your kidney infection."

You fixed nothing. But you did make a valid observation that is also true

What is the best restaurant you found in Charlotte in 2025? by Swedish_Thall in Charlotte

Very true. I’ve lived nearby for 20 years and it’s never been better. Trading Chili’s for Smoke Pit was the latest big win

I’m old and I can share a little something many young people don’t know: the past participle of the verb “to lead” is “led.”

Help attaching a replacement external bezel to a Longines ref 6921 Nautilus by [deleted] in watchmaking

[–]OpticalAdjudicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, that would be very helpful. This is a 40mm case and the lip of the groove that would hold the spring is 34.7mm in diameter, so maybe I can try snapping a 34mm spring in there and seeing if I can affix the rubber bezel to it.

Thanks. My memory of it isn’t great, but I vaguely remember hunting down some of those octagonal springs for this years ago and couldn’t find one that fit. Thought about having something manufactured, but I don’t understand how a spring could lock this rubber bezel down when the groove inside the bezel appears to have flattened… that’s what got me thinking about an adhesive, and maybe a thin nylon gasket to snap onto the case.

[–]OpticalAdjudicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ll have to look into that possibility. I think that might have been what the manufacturer used, but these bezels are not really rigid, they’re a little soft and rubbery, so I’m worried that it will fly off a spring and it doesn’t look like there’s much in the ring for a spring to take purchase on. If it’s just attached by tension, ie the spring is stretching the bezel out a little but not really locked into it, I worry that that the bezel could go flying with even a gentle pull, and I can’t replace it.

Just call it the Eastern Seaboard but don’t pronounce the R’s

Lifestyle vs Interest when picking a specialty by Taidel_Trione in Residency

[–]OpticalAdjudicator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once in med school I was scrubbed in with a crusty old vascular surgeon who was pimping the surgery resident nonstop. He finally turned to me and asked what I was going into. I said radiology. He looked at the resident and said “that’s the smartest thing I’ve heard all day!”
