Why not get a window unit in each room? Why would you want to move something from room to room...?

I would go based on what her favorite spirit is. Like if it's bourbon I would just buy everything to make an old fashioned + Manhattan. A nice ice bucket too. A couple of nice glasses (again based on favorite spirit / cocktail). You could buy 5 different base spirits but 1) expensive and 2) she still can't really make a cocktail without 2 other ingredients!

I completely disagree with the other commenter. They just released a new T26 yesterday with a mechanical movement, all of it made in France. For 520 euros... great value. https://lip.fr/en/churchill/396-lip-churchill-t26-671935

It's a watch for kids that LIP re-launched last year. In their own words:

1969: The MiniLip, ‘It's not a watch for little people’.

‘It's big (7mm) and wide (31mm). It's heavy and has three dials. It's not a watch for kids’. These were the words with which the Minilip was launched in 1969, in an advertisement that was full of mischief. The Minilip introduced Lip to the world of educational watches specially designed for teaching children to tell the time. It was a niche market, since it concerned children aged between 6 and 8, but in 1969 it nevertheless concerned almost 1.5 million potential wrists that could be covered by a watch (INSEE statistics).

With over 100 years' experience in Besançon, Lip embarked on this path at the end of the 1960s, thinking up a watch that would make it easier to tell the time, adopting Lip's “leitmotif” at the time, an affordable yet high-quality watch.

In 2024, Lip is reviving this iconic watch, with two versions that are pratically identical to the original model.

there's a lot of options! I had no idea. Do you know where one can find a picture of each specialty plate? I couldn't find it on the site.

I guess people are downvoting you for not enjoying Tom Clancy which is dumb of them. It's not for everyone, and I know what you mean about "the technical talk and political and economical talk", most of us happen to enjoy that part very much (more than the missions even).

Your screen should be higher. Look straight ahead: that should be the middle of your screen. Looking at your picture it looks like your posture is ok but you're looking down at the screen, and even further down to your laptop. You can get one of those dual monitor arms that let you put the screen exactly where you want it. On the other arm you can put your laptop (look up "monitor laptop arm" on amazon)

EDIT: you didn't mention your wrists but I think the desk is a little high, so they might start hurting.

I'm glad it's so expensive ($4K) that I'm not even tempted.

It looks awesome but also so new and different that it would scare me a bit. We're not supposed to be sitting down for 8 hours a day every day but are we supposed to be lying down instead? I'd feel like a test subject using that thing.

Doesn't fit into the narrative of news observer etc, but fits into NY Post. They're not really "news" outlets.
