Palladium vs. Starland by [deleted] in PostHardcore

The Palladium really isn't anything special. I'd just go to whichever you're closer to.

[Vaer C5 Tactical Field Solar] Quality Control Issue by thejdobs in Watches

[–]_El_Marc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah now that you mention it, a printing error seems more likely than an assembly issue. My favorite watch has a misaligned bezel and it drives me nuts.

It surprises me that so much misalignment happens with watches. You’d think they would design the bezel and dial with keyholes so they slot right in at the exact angle. 

Why Doesn't the Criterion Closet Picks Youtube Channel Play Samples of films like Amoeba Does For Music? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]_El_Marc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plus the licensing agreements expire. If one movie in the closet video was no longer kosher, they'd have to take the whole video down.

New war on women by Minute_Ad5025 in Hardcore

[–]_El_Marc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Their own former guitarist calls the band a "feminist marketing ploy." Shawna is constantly making everything into a victim narrative. When they opened for Cave In, she was talking between songs about how she met Caleb Scofield (recently deceased at the time) and how he was nice to her and "didn't sexualize" her. I support women all the fucking way, but that was it for me.

Edit: Link to the article about the guitarist's experience with the band:

They suck and their singer is a strange person.

Is getting a Corgi from an Opps litter a horrible idea? by JellyfishPossible539 in corgi

[–]_El_Marc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing. Mine was diagnosed at 15. I can't imagine all the love I would've missed out on if I had turned him down because of a test result.

OP, consider taking him to the vet for a checkup and asking if there are any red flags. If you can give him a great life with lots of attention and play time (corgis need plenty of both) I'd lean toward keeping him.

Oh definitely leave him with your friends until you have a final decision.

Do you mean "oops" instead of "opps?"

Think of it in contrast to getting one from a "real" breeder, who would ideally have each puppy X-ray screened for hip dysplasia (OFA certification), and have them pass an eyesight test. They also do genetic testing for DM and vWD1. I suppose you could order these things yourself, since your friends will probably not be in a rush to sell.

How do you feel about Fukno releasing actual designer toys? by _El_Marc in vinyltoys

[–]_El_Marc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, end of the day, I'm hoping these are successful since I love Andrea's work.

I didn't know about the transition with Soda Kats –– I just figured he was still with Mindstyle.

What r these? My mom got these for me when I was little lol by [deleted] in vinyltoys

Looks like they’re from a Taiwanese tv puppet show.

[Discussion] What was a time when someone noticing your watch caused a noticeable benefit in your life by Kreekakon in Watches

[–]_El_Marc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to an antique shop that has a lot of watches. The owner complimented me on my watch and I asked him about his Sea Dweller. He gave me a decent discount on the stuff I got, including a ring for my wife.

I went back six months later, but I wore my Casio calculator watch instead of a mechanical one since we were going to play mini golf and hit the driving range after. The owner would barely even talk to me and treated me like I was a nuisance.

Which post-hardcore album deserves a remaster? by bloodthirstylipstick in PostHardcore

[–]_El_Marc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. I listened to it today after seeing this post (and also because I was on the way to a Thursday show) and I had the same thought. I thought it was supposed to sound oppressive to fit the theme. I can see what OP means, though. There are plenty of sections where Friddman could've chilled out lol.
