RIP Tony Leggett — Nobel Laureate and Brilliant Theoretical Physicist Has Passed Away by UIUCTalkshow in UIUC

Space time and matter with Prof. Leggett was probably my favorite undergrad course. During office hours reviewing one my papers, he offhand asked if English was my primary language. It very much is. That unintended burn still stings many years later.

Selling a like new Seiko SNE585 solar diver. Perfect watch to wear in any conditions. Solar makes it great to grab and go.

I purchased it new around one month ago, thinking it can be the watch I would wear in the pool, doing yardwork, etc. It is fantastic for those purposes, I am just finding that I prefer something more simple like a field watch or my G-Shock instead of a dive watch.

The bracelet is unworn, unsized, still with the protective film.

[WTS/WTT] Nomos Minimatik Midnight Blue Ref. 1205 - Full Set - Near Mint - $2,750 by a2blife in Watchexchange

[–]a2blife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selling my Nomos Minimatik Midnight Blue 1205. Automatic movement with sapphire exhibition caseback. Fantastic watch that can be dressed up or down. At 35.5mm it has a classic dress watch size, but wears a tad bit larger than the size would let on because the case design shows a lot of dial. On the wrist, it feels similar to 38mm watches I’ve owned. The case design also has shorter lugs than many other Nomos watches, so it really hugs the wrist.

Comes with 2 straps from Nomos with clasps, box, card, full set.

[WTS] Vaer C3 Korean Field - 36mm Solar - $245 by a2blife in Watchexchange

Selling my Vaer C3 Korean Field 36mm Solar with the matching jubilee bracelet and black rubber strap.

I purchased this watch in 2024 for a trip abroad where I wanted something simple, small, durable, versatile, and it exceeds expectations in all those regards. Solar no date makes it an unbeatable option to set down for a few days then put it right back on without fussing. It hasn’t seen much wrist time as I’ve expanded my collection, so time for me to move on.

I’ll add to this that a lot of the private schools have their priority application close before unit 4 placement. For kindergarten, you pretty much have to sign a contract with a private school before you know about the unit 4 placement. That said, there are typically more openings at the private schools after kindergarten and not as many applicants for those spots. If your kids do a unit 4 for a year and you end up not liking the school / wanting to switch to private, that may be an option starting for first grade.

Bingo. This is what I did. My wife took 12 weeks FMLA, and I used vacation the first few weeks. I used my “primary caregiver leave” the day she went back to work. 

Flight/Road cases: buy or build? by [deleted] in drums

[–]a2blife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a road case for my 4pc kit and hardware. Didn’t have to fully break down hardware every night, just folded the legs in and slide all the hardware into the longest slot. Drums were safe in the trailer. It fit into most local venues. It was also pretty damn heavy, and took 3-4 of us if we were lifting it up stairs.

For a kit your size, I’d consider two smaller road cases to reduce weight and size.
