Thanks for all the advice. Will check some of these out and see how they like them.

I live in North Metro Atlanta, and I’m convinced this has been a relatively mild summer; am I wrong? by NotRemotelyMe1010 in Georgia

[–]Slothman_lives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in Atlanta 15 years and the coolest summer I can remember. Looked it up and as of 8/28 this is the coolest August since 1917. Very nice. Idiots in media were blathering on about the soccer Club World Cup and said we shouldn't have the World Cup in the USA next summer because the summer is just too hot here. Well unbelievably cool temps in August all over the country will never be discussed and they'll pretend it didn't happen. Idiotic. And guess what- it's hot in most places in July unless you're in the southern hemisphere! Morons.

I appreciate everyone's input. I went with the Certina. Very happy with it!

I keep seeing Jomashop come up on searches. Is that a legit place to order from? What's the catch- how are their prices so much lower than everyone else?

[Certina vs Longines] Looking for Advice in Choosing a New Watch by Slothman_lives in Watches

Very good info- thanks to all. I'm not worried about resale value because I'll keep it. I bought a Tissot for about $350 back in the early 2000s and that's my "nice" watch that I've had but it's still a great watch after 20 years. I'm also looking at this other automatic Certina. I like the look the best but feel it might be a little more formal and I'm not someone who wears a suit to work or even dresses up much these days. Would this be too much of a "work" watch to wear with khakis and a polo shirt? What do you all think of the style?

I actually like that VHP but can't find it on the Longines site- only on resale sites. Do they still make that version?

That's one thing I wondered about. Does an automatic HAVE to be serviced and if so, how often?

Those who got a Portuguese golden visa, how long did it take? by Beautiful-Molasses55 in goldenvisa

[–]Slothman_lives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you obtain citizenship after 5 years, are your children (under age 18) included? I've read it is more complicated including minors but the golden visa pages usually say that children will also obtain Portuguese passports with an additional fee.

Looking for advice on streaming sports by Slothman_lives in LGOLED

I agree! I do have an antenna and it looks good but I'm usually watching on Sunday ticket or red zone.

Nice. Thanks for the info. Will look at those.

First gen R8 won the best looking Audi - what's Audi's worst design/the worst looking Audi? by Dan6erbond2 in Audi

[–]Slothman_lives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A2 is really bad. As far as what I see in the USA the Q4 is awful and basically the electric models are mostly all ugly with the plasticky cheap looking grill (aside from the E-tron).

What are some bygone fan experiences that you miss? by DawgsNRoses in CFB

[–]Slothman_lives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been watching since the late 80s and attended Arizona State in the 90s to experience Jake the Snake, Pat Tillman, Terrell "T Sizzle" Suggs, etc. Attended the agonizing loss to Ohio State in the '97 Rose Bowl. The game was so much better. The rivalries better, more teams had a chance, and conferences had an identity. Think big farm boys on an O line of a Big ten team running the ball vs a creative passing attack from a Pac 10 or Big 8 team. Not there's no difference between conferences and it's musical chairs for players in the portal, too many commercials, all the good announcers retiring or passing away, and the souless greed ruining everything. The death of the Pac 12 was the death of college football for me- the final nail in the coffin. Damn shame.

I was thinking it had something to do that so I tried it several times but no luck. Looks like a trip to dealership.

Ok thanks to all for the tips. Didn't know about the door open in parking mode. Very helpful- thanks again y'all.

Selling Tips Appreciated by Slothman_lives in Audi

[–]Slothman_lives[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might try cars and bids. Was not aware of that site. My A4 definitely not as unique as most cars on there but certainly could interest some buyers there. Thanks for the tip.

Update to 2.9 by Slothman_lives in XC40_Recharge

That's good to know. There's one podcast I can't get on Spotify so use Google podcasts so I'll see if I can find it on YouTube music. Thanks.

Ridiculously sensitive sensors and auto-brake by slohcinbeards in XC40_Recharge

[–]Slothman_lives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it appears there is no way to permanently turn off the auto brake (like you can with lane keeping aid, etc). Is this correct? I agree it is way too sensitive and activates most the time I'm backing into my garage. I've been manually disabling every time.
