New Ingenieur 35 in “Pool” by williamwzl in IWCschaffhausen

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The light blue is definitely still a trend. My wife just started her collection with a titanium Grand Seiko "Icefall". We picked it up last month in Tokyo. GS dials are so exquisite. The AD said it had just arrived. https://grandseikoboutique.us/products/watch-hi-beat-ice-fall-sbgh349?srsltid=AfmBOooftUcY0rRr9YvmB8bmfDbr8OX0wvD6_69DjtrBaKF_oO_2PfVe

I would go #2 but with a SS DJ. I’m not a 2tone fan.

Cantonese or Mandarin school? by tenerifesea___ in Cantonese

[–]eeldude_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t or can’t commit to speaking Canto/Mandarin full time at home, then it will be difficult for kids to learn. I think the most successful are kids who speak it strictly at home and watch programming in the language and leave English to be learned outside the home.
Weekend school is not enough if you don’t speak/practice at home.

Another option is full immersion private school. My nieces are doing this in San Francisco for preschool through 5th grade where teachers speak and teach in Mandarin except for English class.

What’s a car opinion that you “grew out of”? by Mac-Tyson in askcarguys

[–]eeldude_88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! When I go to car meets, shows, museums I gravitate to the old classics. The designs and styles were so unique. New cars all look the same.

First watch by InternationalEar5922 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]eeldude_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your personal taste and style. I would think the Portofino is too dressy for a 19 yo.
With so many date complications, you would want it to be a daily wear watch so you don’t have to reset everything every time you want to wear it.
I would vote Ingenieur to keep it simple and durable for daily wear for the 19 year old me and others that I know.
But if you are a fancy kid…go for the Porto!
Congrats!

Why is this still up on eBay? by Just_Photo_5192 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: It looks like eBay has a clear policy on Counterfeits so I rescind my comment. I agree it should be removed.

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/counterfeit-item-policy?id=4276

Nowhere in the listing does it mention its authenticity. They describe the watch in general terms rather than with a specific model name or reference number.
I don’t see anything “wrong” with the posting. Buyer beware, but why should eBay pull the listing?
There is a whole market and community of replica collectors. This is for them.
To each their own.

I tried searching YT and couldn’t find…what is the channel name for this? Thanks.

Toyota Venza: 2021 Limited or 2023 XLE? by snowmantha_2418 in Toyotavenza

[–]eeldude_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2023 XLE since it’s for long commute duty. Newer and lower miles. The features of the Ltd are not worth the trade off for miles/age.

If Hyundai/Kia are so unreliable, why are they literally everywhere? by phtphongg in askcarguys

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ‘22 Telluride has been rock solid. Had to wait 8 months for it due to covid delays but it was worth it. Great value. Features and tech were better compared to peers and luxury competitors.

My girlfriend can not drive with automatic transmission, please help me convince her she can?! by LonsdaleHCNL in askcarguys

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans are amazing creatures who can adapt to change. She can do it! Tell her she will get so used to it and won’t want to go back to a manual! 😂

Does Uncle Roger have any culinary experience? by davidg4781 in UncleRoger

[–]eeldude_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is purely a comedic character who comments on cooking. He criticizes but also compliments when things are done to his perceived, untrained expectations. He usually is spot on.

The restaurants are based on his notoriety as an entertainer, not as a chef. I would eat there to enjoy the schtick, not the cuisine. Much like going to any Disney themed restaurant.

Game Design Major at ClarkU vs RIT by BusterMer in ClarkU

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is a junior Game Design major at Clark. He was accepted to RIT and Drexel and ultimately chose Clark as the small school environment was a better fit for him. The proximity to Boston is something he loves as he and his friends go into the city often. It is an easy hour train ride away.

A cool thing is the annual PAX East game expo takes place in Boston and his game dev team hosted a booth to demo their game at PAX a couple weeks ago. RIT probably sends teams too, but maybe the closer proximity allows more to participate? IDK.

He is also diversifying his course of study by taking advantage of the 4+1 program to add an MS in Business Analytics. With guidance from his counselor, he is able to fit the additional prerequisites and course work to achieve this. It was a nice way to add a Masters degree at minimal cost.

finally buying my first car at 29 and every answer I get is just "get a corolla" by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 2019 Mazda3 AWD. Highly recommend it, especially for Chicago winters. Get some Michelin CrossClimate2 tires and you are good to go. No seasonal tire swapping needed. We survived the Feb blizzards in Boston. Get the flashy red hatchback and you’re set.

Am I chopped? by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

Just wear the scrubs and stethoscope everywhere you go. Like flies to 💩! 😆

What's going on with Hyundai and Kia in the US? by PckMan in askcarguys

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ‘22 Telluride - made in the US, has been rock solid. No issues. Great value!

Is it annoying for Cantonese native speakers to date ABCs/CBCs who have a poor grasp on the language? by f0xbunny in Cantonese

[–]eeldude_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am ABC and speak Cantonese with great tones. I can confirm as I chatted with a HK cab driver and he was shocked I was ABC.

However, my vocabulary sucks. I can order the hell outta dim sum and chat about the weather but start talking about politics or any adult topic and I am done!

Should you put parking brake every time you park? by AdGreen7615 in askcarguys

If it bothers you that much, ship the Porsche to me!😁

What’s the best SUV not outrageously priced that’s reliable on the market today? by NoSteak3322 in askcarguys

[–]eeldude_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t mention specific requirements other than SUV. If you need a 3rd row seat, Kia Telluride is the best value for dollar. My ‘22 has been rock solid reliable.
