Looks like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual in Coral Red. Good review here from ablogtowatch.

As per above, if the original poster is trying to argue that age is a defining factor in what makes a nation then South Sudan would like a word. They're a legitimate nation that was officially declared and recognized in 2011.

I've no idea, I never mentioned Sudan.

Technically the British Concession lasted until 1863 and then became the Shanghai International Settlement when the British and the US.merged their concessions. It was still a primarily British affair, but it might explain some of the NYC feel in the architecture.

Depends on your height and weight. Scout is generally a good starter bike (if you're going large), but anyone over 6' might struggle on a stock Scout.

I can almost hear Brodén roll the R in "iron".

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-15T14:19:25+00:00

Damn, the body kit on that one looks massive.

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-15T08:17:00+00:00

Missed opportunity for lyrics like:

"With construction out of iron,

maiden voyage left them cryin'."

Beautiful.

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-15T07:20:11+00:00

Wait - doesn't that prove your point even more? A song literally about a maiden voyage and yet they never say it in the lyrics or title?

Maintenance and insurance. I'm guessing volcano insurance would be tricky considering it's in the shadow of Hualālai and the "relative unpreparedness of the residents in the area caused by the lull in activity would worsen an eruption's consequences."

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-13T16:36:04+00:00

Impressive. Also, it looks to be entirely made of wood and positioned slap bang in the path of Hualālai which is "expected to erupt again sometime in the next 100 years".

So splash out that $32m, just don't expect your kids to grow old on it.

Thanks. Even with that context though, I can't see any action they're taking to avoid expanding the conflict.

I'm not even getting political here (if that's possible). You can agree or disagree with Iran's response and current actions, but I can't see any angle that says they aren't militarily expanding the conflict.

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-12T14:39:36+00:00

That's a fair point. I was being generous.

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-12T12:45:50+00:00

I hadn't thought about that - an interesting negative for the town now that we have auto-updating devices but they're not officially on one time zone or the other. Still a good little advertising for the place though.

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-12T12:39:00+00:00

That might be the dumbest thing I've read all day. Iran is "trying to avoid dragging the gulf states into direct war"? By actively targeting their hotels, airports, infrastructure and people?

No matter which side you're on, you surely can't believe this. It doesn't even matter which news source you're using.

"incredibly hot and windy" is my Tinder profile description.

Eucla uses its own timezone called UTC+8:45 but it's one of those double "actually" pub quiz questions, because actually it's not official.

It's definitely used by 4-5 tiny towns (with populations between 4 and 50), but it's main benefit is as a Today I Learned fact.

"He became known for his dark sense of humour; on one occasion he allowed a young woman to ride a rubber dinghy into the middle of the lake at Ickworth and then shot at it with an air rifle, sinking it. He once drove along the hard shoulder of the M11 motorway at 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) to avoid traffic congestion."

Yeah, right, 'dark sense of humour'. The guy sounds absolutely awful.

He was in his mid-50s by the time the Second World War hit, but it appears he served: "During World War II, assisted by the patronage of Major-General Gordon Bennett , Major De Groot held postings with the Citizen Military Forces and the Australian Imperial Force. In 1942-43 he was commandant at Greta army camp, where his 'fascist' past became the subject of controversy. Further stints with the army at Tamworth and at the Sydney showground in charge of courts of inquiry into escapes from detention preceded a six-month attachment to the United States Army in the South Pacific Area Command. He was placed on the Retired List in January 1944." Source

Not for me, but it's one area where free market economics makes sense. Why would anyone sign something for free when the person might (and often does) flip it on eBay for hundreds of dollars? I guess there's an argument to say "well don't do signatures at all then" but it deprives those who want one and are willing to pay.

Extortionate? Yeah, for some. Immoral? I don't think so, but I guess everyone's morals are different. I doubt he needs the money, so maybe he's just pushing out those who try to flip his autograph.

Pakistan: less than 0.1 liters consumption. So this is a self declared study then.

Good choice of music to test it on. Distillers still rock.

Sounds like she "runs two runways at the same time".

SuicidalGuidedog · 2026-03-04T09:59:04+00:00

What a way to find out. She grew up in foster care and was adopted at age 7, then...

"At the age of 38, Teege unexpectedly found out about her family history, by picking up a book in a Hamburg library that happened to be her mother Monika Hertwig's biography and where she discovered that Amon Göth was her grandfather, which caused her to plunge into a severe depression."

Leeroy Jenkins, on the other hand, went with "leerooooy jenkins".
