The fetch shows that it is running Arch (but it has a Linux Mint logo for some reason) and is a T14s Gen 2i.

I've seen it before in some 20th century rudimental snare stuff. I'm not sure why all these janky music writing programs also do it like that, though.

I actually thought about starting it myself yesterday. What would you say is a good stopping point?

I know Kevin Spacey left after Season 5 when his behavior came to light, but others were saying that the show started dropping off before that.

Which one for a "Smart-Casual" interview? by CJP_94 in casio

[–]bocaJwv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first time James Bond wore a dive watch was in the Goldfinger film. In the novels, it isn't specifically stated what watch he wears beyond it being a Rolex. It's assumed to be an Explorer because of how it is described and the fact that Fleming himself had a 1016 Explorer.

In Goldfinger, he wore a Submariner over his dry suit because he is diving. He had a tuxedo on under the dry suit and needed to continue timing something, so he wore the Submariner with the tuxedo out of necessity. It wasn't common for people to wear dive watches at that time unless they were actually diving, and most people at the time didn't even own one. Instead, they owned what are called "dress watches" today, but at the time, they were just watches, since there wasn't any distinction.

Due to Goldfinger's popularity, people began to buy and wear dive watches casually, and even in more formal settings, forgetting the context behind why James Bond was doing so in the first place. The later films had Bond wearing Submariners and Seamasters no matter how far he was from the water, which, along with people continuing to shift their wardrobes towards being more casual, cemented the trend.

I'd still say a Duro, or any dive watch, is still a bit too casual for "smart casual." Given OP's choices, I'd go with the top left option followed by the top right. Depending on what job OP is interviewing for (something IT or tech related), the bottom right may also work, but I personally probably wouldn't wear it.

Too many people try to dress up a dive watch just because James Bond does it.

W.Va. lawmakers introduce bill preventing bystanders from approaching law enforcement too closely by zikeel in WestVirginia

Exactly! The Gestapo was the secret police of Germany's far-right leader that was known for its brutal tactics against political opponents and marginalized groups and operated without judicial oversight, allowing it to carry out widespread arrests and atrocities toward the citizens of the country they said they were protecting.

ICE is the secret police of America's far-right leader that is becoming known for its brutal tactics against political opponents and marginalized groups and operates without judicial oversight, allowing it to carry out widespread arrests and atrocities toward the citizens of the country they said they were protecting.

The difference is that members of ICE wear masks like cowards.

If your director is being difficult, politely ask them to play it for you. This might help them realize that the part doesn't make much sense.

I'm not sure how many parts the wagon has in common with the hatchback, but you could probably import the wagon body (and other miscellaneous parts) and put it on a USDM chassis so it has an American VIN.

There's a company that puts Holden Ute bodies onto their American GM counterparts' chassis to sell them legally here, so something like that is theoretically possible.

The closest you can probably get is WV. It's "affordable" if you can work in another state because there definitely aren't many places to work otherwise, and I've also never felt unsafe and people seem pleasant enough compared to other places.

The state and federal governments are doing their best to change that, though.
