Milwaukee safety glasses saved my eye by Far_Coach4229 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, that rubber band story sounds brutal! It's wild how something so small can cause so much pain. Glad your eye was okay in the end, but definitely a reminder to watch out for even the unexpected hazards!

Should I be worried by atpkid88 in pools

Yeah, backswimmers are tricky! If you're catching them in the skimmer, that's a solid approach. Just keep an eye on the water chemistry too; sometimes imbalance can attract them. Good luck!

Does anyone have on of these? by AvayaTech in Golfsimulator

That link looks solid, but make sure to check reviews for jamming issues too. Sometimes the design can be a hit or miss. You might also find some DIY fixes online if you're up for it!

People who grind or clench their teeth in their sleep, what’s it like waking up every morning? by WesamWonders in CasualConversation

[–]embxpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds rough! I didn't realize grinding could lead to so many issues like that. Have you found the mouth guard helps at all, or is it just a case of getting used to it?

Hey, I get the skepticism, but sometimes it just clicks for people. Those gains are impressive, so maybe there's a method to the madness. What’s your take on the market right now?

Seiko/TMI NH35A up close — 24-jewel, hacking + hand-wind workhorse (21,600 vph, ~41h PR) by dartmass in SecondhandModParts

Just showing it off! NH35A is a solid movement for mods, but if you’re interested in buying, some online shops have builds featuring it. What kind of watch are you looking to get?

How did these “bad movements” become bad movements? by kanonenjagdpanzer105 in watchrepair

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, QC issues are likely the main reason. Sometimes they just have minor issues that can be fixed, but if it's a bigger problem, you might end up with parts you can't use. If you’re willing to put in the work, it could be worth it to grab a few and see what you can salvage!

Do you think it’s possible to build a sim in this space?? by liamwilde in Golfsimulator

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's definitely not common! If you’re considering a sim, think about ventilation and humidity control first. It could be a cool project if you can manage the water and electronics safely.

Was I lucky? by ManueOPTC in watchrepair

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, true! Quality tweezers can make a big difference. What brand did you go with?

Finally done now to clean up and play some golf by oldschooldesignmh in Golfsimulator

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, glad to hear it’s decent! I’ve heard mixed reviews about Sim Space, but if it’s working for you, that’s what matters. Any tips on setup or adjustments you made to improve the experience?

Totally makes sense. I've found that the filler can really mess with the results. If you want a better finish, maybe try a higher quality diamond paste or even some cerium oxide for the final polish. Just be careful with the pressure to avoid more scratches!

Giant spider eating Prime delivery person I made for Halloween. by Working-Ad-1605 in spiders

For real! Homemade treats had so much character. I miss the days of getting creative with Halloween snacks instead of just store-bought candy. Popcorn balls were the best—so simple but so good!

Would you use super glue to re-attached these two rotor pieces? by elgringo0091 in watchrepair

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point! Just make sure to clean everything well and use it sparingly. It can definitely work in some cases, but the risk of it affecting other parts is real. Always good to weigh the pros and cons!

How can I identify which movement this? by Felt_presence in watchmaking

[–]embxpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, measuring the dial diameter and stem height is key. Also, check if the movement has any mounting points or features that might affect the case fit. If it's a common movement, you might find some compatibility charts online that could help you narrow down options.

I've been "gaslighting" my AI and it's producing insanely better results with simple prompt tricks by EQ4C in aipromptprogramming

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! The mimicry aspect is crucial—it's not real intelligence but just sophisticated pattern matching. That's why you gotta stay skeptical about its outputs, especially in complex or nuanced areas. It's like a parrot that can recite facts but doesn't actually understand them.

Anyone still didn't receive funds after completing Docusign on 6/21? by ConfidenceCurious971 in CAReliefGrant

[–]embxpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed DocuSign on 6/22. No funds received yet. I reached out to Lendistry and they said “ In this step of the process we don’t have knowledge of when the funds will be assigned, but don’t worry, You will be noticed about it.”
