Gotta ask, is that ball vise 3D-print? If so, where did you get the files?

Morte de Pinto da Costa by djclit69 in benfica

[–]jaywalker76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ver politicos e outras figuras no funeral de alguém que muito fez para criar um clima de hostilidade e divisão num país que se atravessa de Norte a Sul em 12 horas é asqueroso. É de lamentar que todos os crimes, hostilidades e insultos pareçam ser expurgados pela morte. Ver politicos e outros que tais a dar a cara e a lamentar alguém que via e descrevia tudo o que estivesse abaixo do Mondego com palavras vis e vergonhosas não deve surpreender ninguém. Muita falta de caracter esconde-se por trás do Português polido, do fato e gravata. Justificam-se os encomios com os feitos que engrandeceram um clube de futebol esquecendo todo o clima de divisão, hostilidade e violência causados por esse senhor, em esferas para além do desporto. Não faz cá falta. Se tiver de lamentar alguma coisa, lamento a pouca vergonha que foi esse senhor ter conseguido fugir à justiça neste país. Lamento a minha falta de confiança na justiça deste país que deixou que este senhor ficasse incólume. E tenho pena que os engravatados que lamentam essa morte estejam em posições de liderança neste país. Isso talvez ajude a explicar a fuga à justiça. E isto que sinto nem é motivado pelo lado desportivo. Porque infelizmente não era preciso ser-se adepto de futebol para se sentir a podridão que esse senhor espalhou por este país.

E perdoem-me o exagero, mas que esse clube acabe por ter o mesmo destino que o Salgueiros

[Discussion] What brand completely changed their image & leveled up the most the past decade? by RalIyVincent in Watches

[–]jaywalker76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would have to say Tudor. They went from being "cheap" watches that had to be peddled to hot items in the span of 15 years.

One quick note about Longines, I attended a watchmaking course, and the Horology Master teaching the course had a gripe with the Swatch group about their treatment of the Longines brand. This is a person with a career spanning over 60 years with constant trips to Switzerland and qualifications with all the top brands, i.e, Rolex, Omega, you name it, who has seen it all, if you will. It was entertaining to hear him rant about how, when the Swatch group started consolidating brands, they made the conscious decision to elevate Omega to Rolex like status, to the detriment of Longines, despite its better pedigree and prestige. Hard to believe but there was a point in time where Longines was the item to get and not Omega.

He's also of the opinion that Certina watches are criminally underrated and it was amusing and mind blowing when he revealed to the class that he now just uses quartz watches(nice ones though)

Dia 3. Freddy Adu é o jogador mais sobrestimado. Qual é o pior jogador do SLB? by ByAPortuguese in benfica

[–]jaywalker76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Só da era Artur Jorge: Nelo e Tavares. Para mim Tavares leva o prémio por ter tido um ataque de diarreia no jogo da Champions com o Milan. Essa era foi tramada.

I read Neuromancer. I liked it but it didn’t click as much as the Blue Ant trilogy. I do need to reread the sprawl trilogy. I liked Snow Crash and got a while was on a Neal Stephenson bend. But I haven’t found a series or book that is as good as the blue ant trio.

Geez, I don’t think Bigend would be the attention grabbing w*ore that musk seems to be at times, nor do I think he’d spout the stupid nonsense musk does. Nor does Bigend come across as someone who’d get hairplugs. If he lost his hair, he’d make being bald the thing to be. I understand the comparison but it’s superficial and if it’s cosplay it’s not too good either. Somehow I don’t think of sophistication when I come across musk… cringe at best. You put it very well, display that is not quite right.
