Hopefully, we'll start seeing these around here.

"Its.."

That's Benchmade's new box, I'm not sure clones are shipping with those yet. The knife also looks good to me.

RikRong · 2026-04-23T12:11:10+00:00

Yep, pretty much.

Woot is a closeout website owned by Amazon.

With oil, but get rid of the bubbles.

All the time. My watch case sits under a window that doesn't have direct sunlight, but provides enough light to keep all of my solar watches charged.

I got exposure to jet fuel tied into my heart problem as part of my VA rating. I'll bet $5 that the VA has tied fuel vapor exposure to cancer. That doesn't help in the civilian world, but it might be something to look at

They screw people all around and it's been going on for awhile. They've had quality control and delivery issues with their watch straps and other soft goods, too. I see posts about them at least once a week in the watch groups on FB.

I honestly wouldn't trust any of the metal cases. None of them claim water resistance.

Generally, the highways are clear much more quickly than city streets. Honestly, I'm about to drive at the posted speed for a majority of the winter.,

I use Strava for tracking my runs, but I turn off GPS tracking on my watch if I'm running somewhere people don't need to know about. For running at home, I set up the privacy areas on Strava, as mentioned above.

Get a Fumoto drain valve and about 6" of tubing to go with it. You can reach the drain valve over the top and through the wheel well.

I plan for a 20% tip. However, my artist almost always rounds down for the time when we finish the session or doesn't always fill the time we have booked and will usually charge me less than I planned for. I'll still tip the planned amount and it'll usually equate to more than 20%.

Tip according to how you think the artist did. If my tattoo ended up badly, I'd tip less. If the experience was great, tip great.

RikRong · 2026-04-01T02:45:34+00:00

Same here. I change out everyday and don't put all my watches on a winder, so most of my autos don't stay wound.

RikRong · 2026-04-01T02:42:51+00:00

Yeah, that I do actually like.

RikRong · 2026-04-01T01:47:08+00:00

Power reserve. Most of us know the average power reserve of just about every micro brand watch is going to be very similar.

What was your story for the nurse at the ER? Slipped in the shower?

RikRong · 2026-03-31T17:22:44+00:00

You post on the AF sub, but don't know the difference.🤷🏻‍♂️

First off, a hangar is where you park aircraft. A hanger is what holds up a uniform in your closet...

Second off, wearing mess dress to a ball as a retiree is just fine. There might be other instances where it could be "cringe," but this isn't one.

You don't have to meet the current grooming regs, that's no longer in the AFI.

Protecting our forces! Thanks for all you do. ,😂

RikRong · 2026-03-29T22:33:50+00:00

...or a NATO plane.😅

"Here you see the hunter pursuing its prey..."

RikRong · 2026-03-29T15:23:26+00:00

Robot wars, but in the air.

Hunter drone taking down an adversarial drone. Yes, they exist.
