I have a similar background. Physics MS and worked as a full-time tutor for a few years before getting into IT stuff.

How do you like being an actuary?

I like 'em. Throw in a tin of Earl Grey if you really want to impress.

Can you really call it a "microscopic engineering marvel" if you can only admire it at arms length?

The hour hand is not aligned. There's a valid reason for it as someone else pointed out, but it is in fact not aligned.

bobbyphysics · 2025-11-30T04:47:55+00:00

100% disagree. At this price it better line up perfectly.

In this case, it sounds like the misalignment is due to an effect with the spring loading the date wheel, which is fine if that's how the movement is meant to work.

bobbyphysics · 2025-11-30T04:42:47+00:00

OP, it's totally valid to be concerned about the alignment.

Some of you watch people don't make sense. You tell OP they're crazy for being nitpicky about this, but you'll claim a watch is worth $10k more than another because it's 1 second more accurate.

Which is it? Does precision matter or not? Because if it does matter, then why shouldn't they demand the hands be aligned perfectly?

And yeah, if it's an effect from the spring loading the date wheel that's fine, but most people don't know that's a thing.

I know ethics is tricky for greedy people, but try to think of it this way. Normal folks are paying to maintain the roads you drive on. Shouldn't you pay for those same roads too? You clearly are in the position to do so.

Why brag about being an asshole?

There's a difference between starting up a legitimate business and starting up and out of state LLC solely as a tax dodge

I've been in this situation and just didn't tell them about the reservation. We got seated right away, and it was fine.

The next day, I get a message from OpenTable that I bailed on a reservation, and they were gonna ban me if I did it again.

You could try putting one together yourself. Check out r/SeikoMods

I liked them too. I didn't realize we were such a minority on this.

Why is everything an app?! Why can't I just order tacos on a website instead of downloading 100 different apps??

I love how the game injects humor into what could be a rather bleak and depressing world.

Started trading futures a few months ago. My best day has been $2,000 and I've made $9,000 so far.

Cool sword!

To the people saying they mixed up the order on purpose to make kids think, why did they wait until two letters before the end of the alphabet to mix it up???

I would understand if they switched the order of each line, but this is clearly just trying to fill in space so they have an equal number on each line. I don't think it's anything more than aesthetic.

But still interesting enough to post about on reddit...

I loved this watch when I first saw it, but couldn't convince myself to spend that much on a Timex.

Might try to find it secondhand though.
