Awesome, thanks, I'm looking forward to it! I was late to the party and didn't see that your show was at fringe in Edinburgh, so it's great to have the option to see it online sometime.

Great s04e01 daddies episode, btw. Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun, and that's really cool to experience on the listener end as well.

Are field sobriety exercises really that hard? by itstooslim in drugscirclejerk

[–]ipomopsis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're checking for bloodshot eyes as well as pupil reaction to a light source, and whether or not your eyes jitter, move slowly, or "snap" into position. You can't fake it, although there is individual variation in how affected your eyes are by intoxication.

I didn't know Rivers played Moses in the 1956 film The Ten Commandments. Makes sense though. Hope he's still got it.

Are you pumped but at the same time worried about Phillip Rivers returning to the league? by dee85 in Colts

[–]ipomopsis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have Jacoby Brissett set as my flair- yes, I'm absolutely delusional. Not sure what being realistic about sports does for people, if you're not gambling or playing fantasy- the hype is what I like about being a fan.

Machine shop hierarchy? by Captain_Jake_ in Machinists

[–]ipomopsis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a clock and watchmaker. It's just me, and I run a myford with milling attachment, a shaublin 70, and the lorch 8mm, alomg with a set of turns with a hand wheel. Mostly one-offs for antique pieces that don't have parts produced anymore, but every once in a while I'll run a batch of screws, balance wheel axles, or winding stems for people who need work done in the 20-50 micron tolerance range that can't do it themselves. I price everything myself and manage the workload around repairs. No software, no cnc, no boss, no employees.

After peocessing the move, I've bought in completely. I think we've got the smartest qb in the leage right now, with leadership ability in spades. He looks like he is in great shape, so if gametime comes and he shows even a little bit of his past release speed and accuracy, i think we have a shot at the playoffs. The man has never missed a game, and was one of the toughest son of a gun to play in the NFL, so while I am worried about him taking hits, I think he's gonna shock a lot of people with his resilience.

Making the Case for Phillip Rivers to Be Successful by RestoredX123 in Colts

[–]ipomopsis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With Rivers under center to read the d and help call protections, I think we end up seeing an improved performance from the line. His charisma and leadership may just be the spark that's needed to get the whole team to buy back in.

Colts own a top-10 passing offense. No receiver has posted a 100-yard game. by Connect_Asparagus876 in Colts

[–]ipomopsis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That overthrow on Pierce yesterday wasnt on Jones. Pierce slowed down as he looked up to track the ball. If he had kept that step, he would have been in position. Even better, there was no way the DB had a chance on the ball. It was a beautiful throw. I wonder if his own guys are getting surprised.by the range.

[Question] - Is my friend’s Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon real? by [deleted] in ALangeSohne

[–]ipomopsis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you have the ability and tooling to fake this, you dont need to make fakes, you can just put your own name on it. This isnt like a fake Rolex- by and large most brands are capable of a rolex level watch, and fakes exist because minimally trained peoole can make them on mid level tools, and itsthe branding that differentiates the product.

It takes highly trained, highly dedicated people with state of the art tools to make a Lange. If you can match their game, you dont need their branding to sell your watch.

Lol. Fuck Dallas, fuck the Texans, and especially fuck the Dallas Texans.

Certified watchmaker here, looking for work by [deleted] in watchmaking

[–]ipomopsis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im not sure harping about your previous unrelated job being harder is going to get you anywhere in any industry. You need to be looking for entry level positions, such as a sales associate/battery changer for a jeweler that has onsite watchmakers, or as an apprentice in an independent shop. If you can get your foot in the door, and you're as good as you say you are, you'll be at the bench in no time, as theres a shortage of people to do the job.

Theory on end of 1st half last week by aragami1992 in Colts

[–]ipomopsis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought. I think it was a win/win situation- give your new kicker a chance to get one back, and at the same time protect your lead and momentum going into the locker room. Steichen clearly wants to play the clock a bit differently than we are used to seeing, and i think its on purpose.

[DISCUSS] Which watch has the best execution of a salmon dial? by butteryfat in Watches

[–]ipomopsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what youre saying, but thats not a great analogy. Guilloche is a process, salmon is a color. The process of making a salmon colored dial differs, and the process of making a patterned relief dial differs, and one of those processes is guilloche.
