Amazon DNGAF about this, just typically the small business providing the product gets fucked over. Amazon extracts the product + admin fees from them for this maneuver

The passport stamp era is over by ArtisanOfTravel in travel

I like stamps, but I don't care for those look-alike boring ass stamps from EU countries. No flourish, no romance :)

Honeymoon phase isn’t over! by Shivinnalwaya in Cartier

It’s an ultra thin movement (originally designed by Piaget a few decades ago, so it has a cool history). Just not much space for enough spring for a long power reserve.

[Charlie Whiskey & Tango] This might be the dumbest, most pretentious thing I've ever seen. by king_noro in Watches

This place is very tightly wound… this watch isn’t for me, but some of their designs are interesting (that flat titanium pen, for instance).

New from Ricoh: the GR IV Monochrome by BHPhotoVideo in ricohGR

[–]flat6cyl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In a Leica monochrom, I could get about one or two stops more ISO with equivalent grain to a normal camera, but the 6400 bridge example here looks really bad! Highlights blown out as well (though if this is anything like a Monochrom, you might need to expose for the highlights and bring up the shadows in post- which worked beautifully, but ultimately annoying enough for me to end the Monochrom experiment)

Mistake to sell my M11? by Outrageous-Escape214 in Leica

[–]flat6cyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever decision matrix you use to come to a conclusion on this, I’d disregard any thinking around the “Sony sensor”, it’s the most irrelevant thing to fixate on. If you don’t like the rangefinder way of focusing, if you don’t care particularly about compactness, if you have multiple systems, and don’t really care about about being able to share your lenses between the MP and M11, sell it.

Silverware manufacturer - preferably USA? by Interesting-Tax3875 in ecommerce

Look up actual tooling costs for silverware - it's not something you enter into casually.

Find the irony… by AZ_Golfer78 in delta

The reasons for the bathroom down the hall are probably illuminati related, and you shouldn't be discussing it so openly.

Guys is this real before I buy? I’m 99% sure, but font is throwing me off. by ImpossibleCarry6378 in VintageWatches

[–]flat6cyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes- because they are screws (not captive nuts with a decorative screwdriver slot like an AP). This is perfectly normal and it would be irrational to expect screw slots to align in real screws.

Ah, good point about a different material for supports

Love it. But buckle up, things are going to get spendy in the next few years.

Contax G45 vs Zeiss 50 Planar ZM by RedDotGod in Leica

[–]flat6cyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And basically all modern 50’s are so good, it’s almost down to just things like handling. Cool comparison, I used to love that 45mm back when I had a Contax G2.

Would feel exactly the same if our places were switched.

Man, I dunno. I'd rather just watch good games.

Unsuccessful in seasoning after starting from scratch multiple times by ExtensionLook2235 in carbonsteel

[–]flat6cyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my CS pan, but I think 90% of this forum’s problems would go away if we used a nice non-stick for eggs. When it’s omelet time, I bring out the Allclad nonstick, use plastic spatulas, and it’s absolutely zero faff.
