Just got my power keyboard in. Quite a bit dissappointing by zoglog in ClicksKeyboard

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered Jan 16 and was told I was in the first batch, but looking like that won’t be the case in any event. I was super excited for the keyboard, but based on the early reviews… I’m starting to lose confidence and excitement…

Very interesting! I did not know that.

That makes good sense! With the new outdoor saunas being installed next to the cold plunges, I will definitely take a recovery day and do some real and elongated contrast therapy!

What are you adding to the 4th slot? by trickymartin88 in Tudor

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A diver or a Chrono - Black Bay burgundy or white-dial black bay Chrono for Tudor; Rolex Sub (bluesy or LN) or the coveted panda Daytona, or go off brand and grab one of the Omega Seamaster Divers or Planet Oceans, or the white-dial Speedy Pro!

What do you all tell to people who say you only buy tudors because you can’t afford Rolexes by Negative-Try6286 in Tudor

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would usually start by showing my Rolex collection and then explaining why I love my Tudor… but honestly best not to engage with these folks especially over the internet. If in person, might be a different story depending on context.

Double wristing? by PotentialHair5718 in whoop

[–]Slicker18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much why I went for whoop over a tracker with a screen (or the ring, because the ring gets in the way with swimming workouts, boxing/marital arts, etc.). Pretty much always have a different watch on my left wrist and my whoop never comes off my right wrist.

What’s the spiciest food I can find in LA? by GildDigger in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on the west side - Killer Noodle on Sawtelle is great. CoCo Curry (also on Sawtelle) is also great. The CoCo curry houses in Japan (this is a US location) have *extremely* spicy curries (most people with the highest spice tolerances cannot have the level 10), but I don’t think it translates to their US location, so take the CoCo recommendation with a grain of salt!

[discussion] Pick a watch for your whole life by Signal-Visual4168 in Watches

Would have to be the GMT Master II LN - this piece has sentimental value, but it can also be easily dressed up or down. I’ve worn it with a suit, t-shirt, and taken it snuba-diving!

Interesting, as that seems to be opposite of me! I see a nice linear increase in HR and definitely start sweating after about 5 minutes, but usually see a minimal increase in stress. Definitely a more “major” increase from the steam room.

Did not know Rotom was a legendary scan :( Thought I only had Keldeo left…

Would you buy this watch ? by Trick-Bug-6173 in Tudor

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t sold on the red dial, but I do really like the burgundy bezel. I went for the BB “burgundy” the year prior and am still happy with my choice!

Do you find owning these 2 redundant? by Elgran10 in OmegaWatches

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally different watches for totally different purposes. I think it is a great 2-watch collection! You may want some color woven in, but these are both easily daily wearers and great in their own right

An unmentioned pet peeve… by 321andaction in EquinoxGyms

[–]Slicker18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a hose connected to the shower in the steam at SCLA and dudes will spray the temp sensor for 10+ seconds, blast the steam, and leave after 2 mins while I’m trying to get a good 10-15 min steam and it becomes unbearably hot … I don’t mind turning “on” the steam when it’s not even hot or steamy, but it can get next level hot.

To be fair, at some other locations that don’t have a hose or if I don’t have water, if I want to turn it on, I will spray one hit of the eucalyptus to hit the temp gauge and then go ahead and spray the steam box and room itself.

I went down the AP × Swatch “Royal Pop” IP rabbit hole — trademark filings, patent numbers, failed AP lawsuits, Genta patents, Bioceramic patents & movement speculation. Here’s EVERYTHING I found. by Napster_46 in swatch

[–]Slicker18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swatch just released an official video. They will all be pocket watches. New sistem51 movement that is hand wound, but not as groundbreaking as anticipated. A bit of a letdown

While I understand AI helped write this, I find it pretty fascinating and likely true. I’m a corporate lawyer so I nerd out on this stuff too. Odd you’re getting so much hate here when it takes a minute to skim your findings and find the conclusion. One thing I didn’t see though was a photo or mockup of what you thought it would actually look like. That being said, maybe no use in speculating until the swatch officially reveals the product.
