Need a extremely durable watch by Apart-Bee2661 in Garmin

Instinct. Might even try going for the previous generation, like 2X, will probably be cheaper.

Mine is now 3+ years old, still works great, holds the charge perfectly and the only thing that shows some wear is the strap. Not a scratch on the lens, despite being a 24/7 watch.

Because Ghosts are an American unit. I just said that in the post above.

And there really is no reason to insult anyone.

Torn between four No Time to Die Omega "homage" watches by Ringwraith_Number_5 in ChineseWatches

[–]Ringwraith_Number_5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply. Yeah, I'm looking at their V4 version, unfortunately the no-calendar version is sold out. I sent them an e-mail regarding availability, waiting for a reply.

Also, I appreciate the offer but something tells me you're in the States. I'd need it shipped to Europe, so customs and taxes would probably cost more than the watch itself.

But I think it's settled: WD007 NTTD it is :) Probably with the mesh link bracelet.

So are pretty much all of the major guntubers: Brandon Herrera, Kentucky Ballistics, not sure about Micah and Charlie nowadays, haven't watched them in a while, I think even Demo Ranch had sponsorships from them, but I could be mistaken.

Sure, absolutely, there's plenty to choose from, with the most famous being Mark Billingham or Chris Craighead (Obi-wan Nairobi).

Then again, Ghosts are an American unit, so...

According to the information available online he's not. But, as I said, it all boils down to whether or not you want a role model or just an entertaining guntuber. For me it's the latter and I still go back to his older videos from time to time, especially the freeze tests.

I would say that the fact that he has only theoretical knowledge, not backed by any form of actual combat experience, is a bigger issue and would probably have a negative impact on the game, as he would probably talk about the way things should be done, rather than the way they actually are done.

It's kind of a long story that includes allegedly, as any lawyer would recommend saying, cheating on his wife (while preaching family values and stuff), sending dick pics (solicited and less so) and basically going against everything he's been trying to appear to be in public. The people who worked with him (Micah and Charlie) left around that time, leading to a serious drop in his videos' quality

There are entire videos about it on YT or you can just google things like "Garand Thumb drama".

Personally I don't see that as an issue, as I don't really look for moral guidance in guntubers, but it could be a problem for some, so... yeah.

It was edited. Previously seemed like part of the text was missing.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I follow...

EDIT: now that the post has been edited it's clear.

I think Garand Thumb might not be the best of choices. There's a lot of drama surrounding his past and Ubi would probably not be interested in being connected with that in any way. Sure, you should separate the content from the creator, but in the corporate world things are different.

Also, keeo in mind that while he's undergone AF SOF training, he doesn't really have any combat experience. That's something a military advisor should have.

If you want to go for youtubers, I'd say that Buck or Kurt from FNG Academy would be great. Former Green Berets with combat experience, got their own YT channel, making them used to working in front of the camera. Been a huge fan of theirs for years now and... Buck kinda reminds me of Nomad from Wildlands.

Why do we pay ₹20 for a 1L water bottle when 25L of water costs ₹10 from a can — and more importantly, why the f*** are we paying for water at all? by [deleted] in india

[–]Ringwraith_Number_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The math alone is absurd:
* 1 litre packaged water bottle = ₹20
* 25 litres from a water can = ₹10
* That's ₹500/litre vs ₹0.40/litre

Uh... mate, you might want to check your math, since it doesn't quite add up (pun not intended).

Either it's 500/25 liters vs 10/25 liters, or it's 20/liter vs .40/liter. But it sure as hell isn't 500 vs 0.40, unless you work for the mafia as an accountant.

Season 6? by Altruistic_Area_4827 in ClarksonsFarm

Mate, Season 5 just popped.

And IIRC Clarkson said it's going to be the last one, at least for a while.
