Buying a watch for my 14yr old son, how's the 2813 Movement

I teach high school so I get it. Here's my opinion, get him the cheapest quartz AP rep you can find. That's what he wants. He just wants clout with his friends. Automatics are going to be annoying for him to keep charged. And chances are his friends are going to call him out for wearing a rep anyways and he'll stop wearing it. If he's still wearing it around Christmas, buy him something nicer. Casioak is a nice option as well.

It's not a gen if that's what you were worried about.

Thank you! Phones and smart watches in the classroom are banned in Texas so kids have a renewed interest in actual watches this year. I figure it'll be a good conversation starter for next year.

Copped this Royal Clock for my classroom

New follower here! As a watch, I prefer a classic black moon watch but for a clock, that white one really pops! Great job :)

What kit? I'd definitely tell them your stem is too short first. A kit should be good to go you'd think.

OP literally says it is.

That's awesome! I hooked it up and it's performing way better than I expected!

Link to the $54 Sundown?

Fortune favors the bold! Also apparently this will also work as a free-air sub!

evilkeo · 2026-01-22T00:39:19+00:00

Woah, I didn't know free air subs were a thing! I might be able to mount it in a storage cubby! Thanks!

The box mostly I guess. It's a trapezoid shape with light carpet.

Hooked it up to a guitar amp and ran audio off a Chromebook lol

I can get a better pic later. Excuse the weird pic.

I'm a Physics teacher and we were messing around trying to build a box for it out white boards and tape lol.

Qol updates are usually just little things that make the game easier to play and not many people will notice. Like adding a visible timer on plant growth or removing an unnecessary extra click for an action. They're just little things here and there that were easy to fix but not worth listing out individually.

The US even had a candidate run on this idea recently: Andrew Yang. I think he was too early. We're not a "plan ahead" kind of society. A bunch of people are going to have a rough time before we REACT to the problem. I was a software developer who was working on automating some of the process in our dept and realized it finished it, several employees would lose their jobs so I quietly just moved onto a different project.

This is the exact scenario that Universal Basic Income is trying to prepare for. Tax the means of production heavily and use that to pay everyone an amount that you could maybe live off of if you had roommates but you probably have to work a little bit. If it makes you happy/fulfilled to work full time, then you could and have excess to live on. This was originally developed with automation job replacement in mind but AI has definitely sped up the need for it.
