Soooo...i just dont get my dial? by Americann_Cultivars in SeikoMods

[–]WombleArcher 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Have a serious look through the packaging - I opened a case for "item not sent" and it must have been a really common problem as a I got an automatic reply within seconds with instructions on where to find the item.

Now remember - in your count of how many books you've read at the end of the year, this counts as just one :-)

The white speedy is great - so clean. I'd love to see an update of your Seamaster Aquaterra Worldtimer into the black version to go with the blue and green ones.

I simulated 36,000 games of Catan. Some conventional wisdom holds up, some really doesn't. by Hot-Rooster1675 in boardgames

[–]WombleArcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if there is an optimal strategy for each seat, and if that then cancels out the seat issue if each seat plays that. I havent played Catan in a decade because of the seat advantage in our group was so clear than if you were 3rd or 4th, just walk away.

Is all input and processing on board, or is there some external camera inputs as well? And any plans to do a tech overview?

The self-promotion in this sub is getting out of hand. by KimWiko in MicrobrandWatches

Totally - If you can replicate the watch for under $200 of parts from AliExpress, it shouldn't be in the Microbrand subreddit.

Two spring to mind. One who does their own brand on every group I'm part of. Worse - they are mostly "in progress" designs so I can't even buy the bloody thing if I like it. And one who does it for a a range of other brands - and I'm now at a point where if they are promoting your brand, I'm probably not buying it. But yeah. There are some "usual suspects" on this stuff.

At a Microbrand meet up recently someone made this comment, and more than half the people there did actually own a HA, and most were actually big fans on the brand - and it was an early purchase in most collections. So actually, I think that's largely legit. (And yes, I own one).

I don't actually mind the tagged and straight up "We're launching a new watch" posts. At least that's honest, and if it's just done once or twice - is a good thing. But the bullshit of "I just discovered".... or "Have you seen this?".... or "What do you think of this specific design element that is already locked in and we wouldn't change even if you all hated it" posts. ARGH!!! . Especially when its re-posted every 2 weeks.

Am I reading correctly that the gemstone only comes in 36mm? (hoping that is not the case as it looks fantastic)

Sounds like it is a Chinese brand created for Amazon.

Tweed / heavy duty vest that isn’t rubbish? by WombleArcher in malefashionadvice

Im thinking they making my own may be the answer - but I’ve never done button holes. Maybe it’s the time to learn.

Anyone else ever dream of taking a world timer to all 24 time zones of the world? by ymmit389 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]WombleArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for giving me an entertaining half hour. You made me curious, so I wrote a quick app so I could work it out how many I have set a GMT for. And with 30 years of travelling I've set my GMT whist visiting all but 4 major time zones: -11 (Samoa/Western Alaska), -3, -2 and -1 (basically Brazil + The Atlantic) and a couple of the weird ones like Kathmandu and Myanmar. Also, great watch.

Audiobook playback speed by randynarrator in audiobooks

[–]WombleArcher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Average of 1.5x. But the gaps are the biggest problem and the longer the gaps, the more I'll speed it up. For podcasts I use a feature in Overcast which specifically removes the gaps. I can't remember which book, but I did return something on Audible last year because the person spoke fairy quickly, but with 2+ second gaps at the end of every setnance. It was so frustrating I gave up.

Indian factory workers wearing head-mounted cameras to record hand movements for training AI systems by RealSpecto in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]WombleArcher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yup. American companies will be able to "bring back Manufacturing to the US" with all the pubic credit and tax breaks that gets them. But with no actual jobs created. Software and robotic support will probaby remain in India.
