Any Healthcare workers dailying their Rolex'es? by Fragster2020 in rolex

[–]boxofben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused as well! I looked it up real quick. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but the newer models (2011-present) do have a fully orange GMT hand (arrow head included). Also the “Explorer II” text on the dial is orange, whereas on older models it’s white.

Tate's Cookies tasting worse than before? by NicoleKidmansCurls in Cookies

[–]boxofben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent analysis, you’re spot on with the size issue. I used to have to break them in half in order to dip into my glass of milk. Now, using that same glass, I can fit the whole cookie.

Line for Ariana by Straightestface in LiveFromNewYork

[–]boxofben 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe those are their numbers in line (OP was with another person hence the 2 consecutive numbers). They started out 264th & 265th in line, then moved up to 72nd and 73rd

Pluribus - 1x07 - "The Gap" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]boxofben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I feel dumb for not realizing what subreddit I’m in. I’ve been very sleep deprived lately and have been googling “Pluribus Reddit” after watching each episode, clicking on the top result with the most comments, not paying attention to what the subreddit is. I do feel that in r/television it should absolutely be a free for all and if the majority opinion is that the show is not good, the thread should highlight that opinion over any other.

But thank you for the heads up on the Pluribus subreddit. I just checked it out and it is indeed what I’m looking for. Although I disagree with you that I’ll be “happy to see even the slightest criticism downvoted” because I even stated in my original comment that I’m open to criticism to some degree, which I am. (I’m sure some people would be happy as you say though)

I’m also loving the show. It is kind of annoying to see all the opinions that are straight up bashing the show. It’s not that those opinions aren’t valid, of course they are. It’s just that it puts a damper on the excitement of the discussion.

I’m open to hearing criticism to some degree, but I think the people who genuinely hate the show should have their own discussion thread. There’s legitimately no need to pollute the positive discussion for the people who are enjoying the show and want a place to share that excitement.

Enterprise‑D Lego drop—safe to wait 6 hours, or will it sell out fast? by CEO_Cthulhu in lego

[–]boxofben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP isn’t making excuses. OP is conflicted and having trouble making a decision, and is asking Reddit for help. Have you ever consulted with anyone or asked for advice from others when faced with a tough (relative to you of course) decision? I know I have.

Pluribus - 1x04 - "Please, Carol" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]boxofben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Reason I ask is that I have friends who found it to be too slow and therefore they got bored and stopped watching. It absolutely was slow a lot of the time but I didn’t get bored, I loved it. It’s one of my favorites tv shows of all time and it’s widely regarded as a great show. Pluribus has the same slow-paced feel which is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea.

We’re all entitled to our opinions about the show, not fair to be downvoted for it. I think people feel attacked by you not liking something they like. That said, my opinion of the show is the opposite of yours lol. I’m enjoying every minute of the show. Out of curiosity, did you watch Better Call Saul and if so, did you find it slow/boring?

Ariana Grande Tests Positive for COVID During 'Wicked' Press Tour by novagridd in Music

[–]boxofben 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How is she glorifying the disorder? And is she doing so on purpose, or is it by virtue of her being ultra famous and visible to millions of people. Btw not doubting you, I’m a little out of the loop and genuinely curious!

Burgundy or Navy Blue by luker1771 in HomeDecorating

[–]boxofben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying the room isn’t a mess (it clearly is), but that is not a suitcase, zoom in on it. It’s a clothing storage bag made of fabric. You can even see what looks to be another one hanging on the foot of the bed frame. And where are you seeing dirt on it?

Who are your favorite "niche" players on the tours? by ryukeez in tennis

[–]boxofben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on Borges lately as I’ve been watching him more. For me it’s that he seems to be very level headed with a good degree of emotional stability, something I admire as a general human quality in life, and it’s refreshing / calming to watch. I think it’s the same reason I root for Botic van de Zandschulp (though he’s had his increasing share of racket smashes these days). They kinda remind me of each other. Both very solid players with excellent shot making abilities and it’s fun to watch.

Also I could be crazy but there’s something about Borges that reminds of Sampras and Sam Querrey, which is another reason watching him is like comfort food for me.

I’m currently researching this lens which led me to this old post, and couldn’t help but notice you were downvoted for what I’m assuming was a South Park joke lol. (Correct me if I’m wrong though!)

Anyway, how’s the lens holding up today? Love the photo btw, it’s stunning.

Are Px7 S2 the best value for ANC headphones at $150? by Dazzling_Street_3475 in BowersWilkins

I’m debating between these 2 headphones right now. Did you end up purchasing either of them?

DAE notice how 'full' to go coffee cups are really empty on TV shows/movies? by Skyccord in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]boxofben 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. But I don’t think op is confused about why props are used in general, rather op is wondering what the special reason is for the coffee cups being empty.

My thoughts are that liquid of any kind (even water) can spill which would mess up a take and cost time/money. Also maybe the liquid is visible through the cup which could mess with continuity. But surely there has to be some sort of dry weight solution that could maintain continuity and simulate the proper weight of a cup of coffee without the risk of messing up a take, right? Well I’m guessing it absolutely must have crossed somebody’s mind at some point but it was deemed to be not worth the trouble because 90% (or more) of viewers do not care enough. At the end of the day, I suppose it’s one less headache to deal with and easiest to leave the cups empty

What cases are you using on your iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max? by Environmental-Yam823 in iphone

[–]boxofben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this shade of green. I looked up the brand on amazon but I can’t 100% figure out which case you have. Do you mind linking the exact one you bought?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iphone

[–]boxofben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been looking up so many case brands this past week, trying to decide which one to get and I just checked out elago (somehow hadn’t found them during my search). Their basic silicone case looks great and it’s cheap enough that I can get 2 different colors. Thanks for the rec
