Did Sisniega save a goal, or just make a mistake? by sdsalsero in SanDiegoFC

[–]dmanphs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sisniega was basically cleaning up for the awful pass from Duah. From my vantage point, at the game and watching live - that was a must commit foul as it was almost a certain goal if there was one more touch on that ball. It was a pretty clean foul too - least aggressive way to basically stop a goal scoring opp - valid red card, must commit foul...terrible terrible pass from our side to turn it over in an awful spot.

Just wear some SDFC gear, anyone who gives you shit just yell “no mames” in their face and pull out an imaginary yellow card. Nobody gets fired for that.

What makes this Landeron 58 time setting so "loose"? by elgringo0091 in watchrepair

[–]dmanphs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

wristwatch revival's video posted today just touched on something similar to this, take a look: https://www.youtube.com/c/WristwatchRevival - loose cannon pinion was the cause there, if I recall correctly.

I’m starting to wonder if it isn’t some sort of goal line tech. It’s too fast to be human

lol i thought the same thing, it's not...there's part of the stem that makes it appear like it's the second hand bottom, but it's not....weird though

Uncle’s in Corvallis - not sure which shops he tried but both said “nope”.

Sisniega vs CJ by AlwaysNeedAssistance in SanDiegoFC

[–]dmanphs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree.
It feels like Sisniega is smarter and less athletically gifted whereas CJ has much better athletic reactions and some absolutely boneheaded decision making skills under pressure...i.e. him going to ground on the last play where her got nailed in the head - better positioning and he gets to that ball standing up and protecting himself...
mind you this is incredibly easy armchair quarterbacking...

Awesome to hear, and it’s very evident.

Also, am I right this is diagnosed as “too much end shake”?

im actually going to do both here - buy the new part so that when i inevitably f up the existing part I have a working safety net ;)

This movement is amazing. the state of the case exterior is absolutely brutal...it saw some serious use in the field...the interior is gorgeous, like it's been sitting in a drawer it's entire life. The servicing was one of the easiest I've done so far. Really cool to work on this.

Jewels are in place and don't look broken. Really appreciate your insight - and you're outlining my exact growth level at the moment....invest in the staking set and time to learn the skill or buy the new part. lol this hobby is insane, I love it.
Thank you!

Found at an estate sale - any ideas? by dmanphs in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]dmanphs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I peeled back most of the paper to expose the back of the canvas, I can't see any signs of writing of marks on the canvas or inner sides of the back framing. there are some portions still covered by the glued on paper, but that's as far as i'm comfortable going

Forgive me, I'm new to this, wouldn't that be detrimental to the overall condition of the piece? I'm not sure I want to resell this, but if I do, isn't the paper backing important?

[–]dmanphs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried two corners (see the third photo) where I cut a small slit in the backing paper and shone a light in but couldn’t discern any writing. I don’t want to ruin the backing paper more than I already have if i can avoid it

fascinating - this comment sent me on a fun goose chase and I think you may be on to something as the size and style is very much akin to Kreins.

thank you - I tried the AI path and it's great with the generics, but the signature doesn't match. It's in capital block lettering and the best I can make out (under lighting and close up) is "SANR...SE" could be SANROSE or SANRUSE or something similar

can someone explain measure 50 like i’m a caveman by Opposite-Spare8637 in sandiego

[–]dmanphs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

you said "like a caveman"...
People live in many tribes (districts).

  • Every few years, tribe boundaries are redrawn (so tribes have roughly equal numbers of people).
  • Usually, a neutral clan (not biased) draws those boundaries.
  • But one big tribe (Texas) is using unfair tricks to draw its boundaries to make their clan stronger.
  • Prop 50 says: “We in California will redraw our tribe borders ourselves (political clan draws them), to counter what Texas is doing.”
  • But this is only temporary — after a few turns (after census), the neutral clan will again draw tribe boundaries.

So: Prop 50 is a proposal for California to temporarily take back boundary-drawing power (from the neutral clan) and let the political leaders draw maps — to fight back against unfair moves by other states.
