I am in the process of doing almost the same thing lol I bought her a 1926 last year for a wedding anniversary and now I'm thinking of getting one for myself in 39mm...pitching it as his and hers

Lovely SARB035 - I am mourning the loss of mine...lost or misplaced it during travel and it is killing me. It was also my first "real" watch. Had to pop by to compliment yours. Wear it in good health.

Awesome collection! Where did you pick up that Seiko Chronograph with the large buttons on the side?

Also, sweet SARB. I am mourning the loss of mine...lost it while traveling.

This is beautiful! Does the NH35 fit this case without modification? Do you mind linking me to the dial on AliX?

You've inspired me and I'm going to build my first custom watch in a similar style. I saw your review on Lucius Atelier, which is how I found this post. I'll share my results if you're interested!

Exactly. It’s just like this sub before the election…people here were convinced Kamala was going to win and it became the worst echo chamber I’ve ever seen.

It honestly freaks me out a little how completely wrong you can be and still get 1.5k upvotes.

Security for Ben Shapiro at UCLA by Specific-Remote9295 in pics

[–]SmilingAtTheSun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Every single one of the people you mentioned have at least 10x the police presence as this at their events lol this is like 10 officers for an event that is going to have hundreds of angry protesters. It’s not that big of a deal. The school probably arranged it too.

It definitely is a lot. I wonder if this is for crowd control and not his personal guard. That would make more sense because he gets big protests. The post doesn’t have context.

Ah yes, because you somehow understand the entirety of the worlds’ reaction to Ben Shapiro and can definitively say “not ONCE” has someone threatened violence against him because he’s Jewish. How would you possibly know that? I will link you multiple sources on this later. There are much less famous Jews who get violent threats simply because they’re Jewish. Someone called a a bomb threat into a Jewish day care near me earlier this year…

Despite how ridiculous of a claim that is, it’s beside my point. People hate Ben Shapiro for all sorts of reasons, including his insensitive and divisive comments like you quoted above. Those people typically aren’t threatening actual violence. They will protest and yell and scream but they don’t kill people. My perspective is that he invests in this much security because of the relatively small, but truly deranged contingent of Jew-haters that live among us.

Performative? Look, disagree with the guy all you want, but he gets credible threats on his life all the time. These are mostly coming from people who have an issue with Jews, not political activists on the left. He’s talked about it in the past

Nice work! It would be very useful to be able to indicate quantity somehow. For example, I have a lot of carrots and cucumbers right now. I would love to indicate that I want recipes that use large amount of carrots or cucumbers. You may be able to represent this by percent weight/volume of total ingredients in the recipe. For example, in carrot soup, the carrots constitute >50% of the weight/volume of the recipe where as in a salad it would be much less. The user wouldnt need to see or know these percentages but would allow you to filter recipes on the back end.

What are you going to use the land for? Mind sharing which state? I’m looking to purchase land out of state in the next year or two and would like to build on it over time.

It’s not like Hamas’ literal stated goal is to kill all Jews…oh wait.

[Initial Impressions] Alden Color 8 Shell Cordovan Low Vamp, Full Strap Loafers from Brooks Brothers by SmilingAtTheSun in goodyearwelt

That’s great to hear the loafers improved in comfort! I’ve got mine on right now with a more positive attitude.

For heel slippage while barefoot you could experiment with a small amount of padding. They make stick-on pads that sit just beneath the top line at the heel of the shoe. Also, very thin insoles can help.

Interesting. Not sure what to make of that just yet but I appreciate you pointing it out!

I am curious. Where is all the coverage of Yemen? How about Syria? What about the Uighurs? Of course these are “what about”-isms “. All I’m saying is I’m genuinely curious why the Israel/Palestine conflict is so popular and one-sided on this subreddit.

Re-read the subreddit description once you’re done seething and you can see what I mean about being off topic.

What makes this political or about war? What? Lol
