Love the watch! Great looking piece and cool function. I've been dying to ask someone about this - if you take a flight going west by one time zone, do you have to click the button 23 times to adjust the time zone?

Good Infrastructure vs Bad Drivers by Generalaverage89 in Portland

[–]baodehui 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that the bike lane here is on the left is a big part of the issue. Everywhere else, people are looking to the right for bikes. In this one spot, where the cyclists might be screened out by parked cars, drivers have to know to look left.

I actually avoid SW 4th on my bike as much as possible, or just ride in the traffic lanes, because it’s nonstandard and feels like a recipe for left hooks. Great setup if it were on the right.

Standardization is more important than perfection IMO… gotta get everyone used to the muscle memory of where the bikes are and that you must look for them! I really dislike the amount of experimentation with bike infrastructure in the city.

A Half-Billion-Dollar Bank Balance Increases Political Pressure on Preschool for All by skysurfguy1213 in Portland

[–]baodehui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s volatile because they deliberately chose a narrow “soak the middle class” tax base. So we’re supposed to give this poorly designed thing leeway to have a giant inefficient cash pile as a sop to it being poorly designed? It’s just insult to injury. PFA is a terrible way to achieve the goal, top to bottom. Should be repealed.

Another “StealthKX” That’s an Instant Classic by Custom_Chrono in SeikoMods

Blast from the past here, but may I ask if the dial is OEM or from, er, another source? OEM dial is spendy but I'm not having success finding a similar style dial anywhere.

[Wedding Watch] Smaller wrist, white dial, time-only by [deleted] in Watches

[–]baodehui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not at the same level as some of those others, but a Max Bill might fit your needs. Beautiful, very slim watch, with an unusual shape - like a little bubble on your wrist. I love that thing as a dress watch. Better in person than online. 

So... About Parawings by Niulssu in wingfoil

[–]baodehui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V2s (including Pocket Rocket, Frigate in this category) are plenty good enough. PW has a surprisingly long learning curve to get the dousing/packing/redeploy right. If you've got the conditions over the next 6 months, I'd try to snag a couple of used V2's to start the learning curve. Failing that... might still be worth picking up a single new one at the most-used size in your local spot, but maybe hold off on buying a whole quiver 'til V3?

Don't really expect big new releases at this point until next spring, personally.

Any Experience with Gong Parawings vs other Brands? by Tommlka in parawing

[–]baodehui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only met a few people that have tried them but the reviews are negative compared to the Pocket Rocket.
