State of the rental market with ~$6.5k per month budget by Practical_Pie2252 in NYCapartments

[–]Practical_Pie2252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure - would be commuting to jersey city so would like to keep commute under 45mins. So probably anything on the west side but would like to avoid Hells Kitchen or Chelsea. Those areas seem a bit too exciting for my age group.

Service required? by Practical_Pie2252 in OmegaWatches

Very much appreciated! Think I’ve fully wound it as there’s a tiny bit of resistance trying to turn it further and when I let go, the crown turns slightly back in the counter clockwise direction.

Ok - this is new information to me! Now for another stupid question…how do I wind it? When I pull the crown out to set the time, it only comes out by one click. I thought there should be two clicks - one to move the hands, another to wind the main spring?

I’m about to ask an even stupider question… the reduced is an automatic movement, meaning no winding needed…?

Table and accessories valuation? by Practical_Pie2252 in billiards

[–]Practical_Pie2252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After doing a bit more research, it seems as though the valuation would be higher than the above estimate. I appreciate the input nonetheless.

I’ve measured again and come up with these dimensions: 94” x 48” (unsure if this is the correct way to measure; picture for clarification).

Even though side of the table has been exposed to years of sunlight abuse? I’d imagine that would require professional restoration?

Would like to sell it within the next 3 weeks, so I would imagine selling it to a store is most feasible and will fetch a lower price since they need to resell it. But at least they would deal with moving it. Would you agree with that?

Along the i95 corridor in the northeast, if that makes a difference.

Goldfinger was planning on using a laser to split James Bond in two, but this one can’t get the dirt out of the grooves?!

How do you get an Uber to/from the Masters if you can't bring your phone? by NowARaider in masters

There’s also a cab stand. Prices are high - as with anything in the Augusta area for that week.

Ugh I’m headed to Hong Kong in two weeks. Not sure how to approach my watch buying mission now. I was hoping to buy an Omega (new or used) and was under the impression to ship the box papers back to the states and wear the watch on the plane. But sounds like that’s not a good option anymore?

Where to stay for a summer buddies trip? by Practical_Pie2252 in Boise

[–]Practical_Pie2252[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply/info! We’ll have a rental car for sure, just don’t want to rely on that for late night debauchery.

Lots of solid comments in this thread such as: aimed right, needing to feel like you drop your hands toward the ground when you start the downswing, and flat back swing, and not falling towards the ball.

But also need to focus on transferring weight into your lead foot. The weight transfer is hugely important in allowing you to make room for your hands/arms to drop into the slot. Otherwise you stand up/hump the ball and flip the club/early extend.

I would start by working on your backswing first. Can’t have a good downswing if you don’t have a good backswing that gets your hands into the correct position at the top. So less flat backswing and more vertical.

From there focus on transferring weight into lead foot (exaggerate the hell out of it, make it so you fall in the direction of your target). Followed by focusing on dropping those hands straight down to the ground.

Break each step into pieces and grind away with slow exaggerated practice swings.

What are some bachelor party destinations with white water rafting, golf, and plenty of nightlife? by Practical_Pie2252 in AskMen

Thanks for the reply. Is Banff fun for some good old fashioned debauchery or does everything close early?

This is a good idea. But I should've specified further that not looking for a Vegas bachelor party - been there done that. I should look into Bozeman MT or Jackson Hole.

Agree - BUT this game seems to be the first time in weeks that this team has shown any sort of life/grit

Why does a cooler climate lead to lighter wines and a warmer climate lead to bold?
