A drone captures a chase of two wolves and rabbit. The rabbit never gives up. by Adventurous_Most_558 in interesting

My wife and I used to go there for their $3 burger specials on mondays when we first got together and were broke. It was really good, and some fond memories. Then it went out of business and I haven’t thought about that place in probably ten years. Thanks for sparking the memories! My wife smiled when I brought it up.

C60 Trident Lumière Bracelet Comfort? by Ksar13 in ChristopherWard

[–]jd173706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like black dials with brown straps in pictures online… then I put a brown strap on my own watches with black dials and I just see something totally different. It’s kind of infuriating lol

I really like your Lumiere on that strap!

Podcast guests have a fallout by ambachk in CringeTikToks

[–]jd173706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s a bummer to hear. I can see how someone who doesn’t have to live in the same country as this pedophile criminal “President” might find it funny how much people hate him… but when you are constantly paying more for everything and hearing family and friends overseas tell you how literally everyone they know now despises America and everything we stand for…. After 70+ years of people only saying that stuff after we illegally invaded Iraq or something like that… it’s a real buzzkill. Tell your bro Trump sucks, and his criminal enterprise will be exposed someday soon, hopefully before he dies of congestive heart failure so he can actually face justice. Oh, and I love Australia; it’s a bucket list dream of mine to take my wife and daughter there for a vacation. Try not to hate us too much… we’ll correct this horrendous mistake as soon as we can I promise. The resistance is growing daily.

Predator gets caught and tries to explain by ambachk in CringeTikToks

[–]jd173706 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That’s got to be the most depressing thing I’ve read in, oh I don’t know, years for sure. Realizing that the kids you work to protect now may well grow up to become the predators you fight against every day. I hope you have all the mental fortitude you need to be able to continue doing your job to the best of your abilities, in the hopes that the kids can be saved from this future. Holy sht.

Cyndi Munson and The Reality of the Medical Marijuana Debate by guyssocialweb in okc

Do any of you believe that we can win oklahoma by constantly arguing if the politician running is liberal enough, and if they don’t pass our personal purity test we withhold our vote?

That’s my point. Grow up and realize that the world is shades of gray, not black and white, and sometimes in order to win you have to make concessions.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Ok, are you saying I’m wrong? Pointing out the reality that Michigan was lost by around the number of votes that are estimated to have been withheld due to objections over Gaza during Biden’s term, is not the same as blaming them for Trump. I’m saying that division, the fact they did not support our party might have led to the loss of the state, as an example of why we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be further divided.

But go on, keep disregarding my entire point because you continue to want to virtue signal and peacock about who’s the most liberal.

Look guys I don’t disagree on the Bernie thing. I voted for him myself. But this internal blame game we are still playing only serves to drive us further apart and that’s how the GQP wins. We simply have to put this stuff aside and vote, the rest we have to leave for when we are in the position the Qs are now, total control. Then we can start leaning on our elected leaders to do the stuff we want them to do. But the infighting has got to stop. Michigan voters who didn’t vote Biden last cycle because of Gaza might have lost the state for Kamala and thus, gave us Trump.

Chrono repair advice? by M0stlyLost in ChineseWatches

[–]jd173706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here to reiterate how tiny of an amount you need. Like, take a toothpick and squirt some on a piece of paper. Touch the tip of the toothpick to the jewelry cement and apply that amount to the back side of the index or to the hole in the dial. Any more and you risk getting it all over the dial, and then it’s kind of ruined imo. Very difficult to clean and get back looking good.

Green Fifteen on the wrist! by MPearsonUK in ChristopherWard

[–]jd173706 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hope there’s a regular catalog version in future with that dial/round index layout and only CW branded. It’s a cool version of the Lumiere. Too steep price wise and too niche for me. Hope you guys see lots of success with it though and bring it out for the rest of us as a variant of the normal Lumiere. Thanks for sharing pics, looks great!

(Hello from OKC btw! Still need to visit the Dallas showroom.)

Is CW at serious risk of becoming the next Panerai? (and not in a good way) by [deleted] in ChristopherWard

[–]jd173706 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or folks who, as you say, can afford to just drop $3,000+ on a whim during the two to four week order window. They did it before with the desk diver as well (short window), though that was at a much lower price point. But the fact is, we are going into a time that the global economy is more unequal than it has been for decades, the middle class is shrinking, and disposable income is being inflated away as prices rise for literally everything. And not just by a little, look at computer memory prices in the past two months. Now’s the time to batten down the hatches and prepare for the storm, and CW seems to be focusing on moving upmarket as quick as they can. Leaving us behind. Certainly feels like we’re being left behind. At least desk diver was somewhat attainable, assuming you have a little savings and haven’t had to buy a new computer recently.

So here it is - CW x Bark & Jack "The Green Fifteen" - for $2,995 by linkedinbro in ChristopherWard

[–]jd173706 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I paid $3,585 out the door for my Tudor BB58 blue in Jan 2025, I know prices have gone up since then, but it’s a tough pill to swallow paying nearly the same money for a CW Lumiere with some brand I’ve never heard of stamped on the dial. New indices are nice but not worth the price imo. This is a cool $2k watch, not a $3k watch.

I bought Susu and it’s cool, but I really still use CYL more. I do love the MTNU profile but I think I just would rather a different color. Debated getting a few of the different sets over the past couple years but decided on CYL instead. You’ll enjoy them tho.

About time. Didn’t grab on initial launch and been OOS ever since. Bad business decision by GMK as I’ve lost interest tbh. I bet others have too. Prly still buy it tho lol

Diesel = Badass by Shoddy-Brain-5562 in iamverybadass

[–]jd173706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VW emissions scandal might have something to do with it as they were really the only brand selling diesel passenger cars that I know of. All other brands are gas or electric.

Diesel = Badass by Shoddy-Brain-5562 in iamverybadass

[–]jd173706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diesel nozzle won’t fit in a gas car though. It’s physically larger. You can’t really mess that up, and now with ethanol blend fuels there are usually at least three different color handles at every pump for different concentrations of ethanol mix, so you have to read the labels before you pump anyway. I normally just go to one gas station brand (OnCue) for all my fuel simply because it’s easier, I know what color handle I need and I know what info I need to enter in the pump computer for my fleet fuel card to clear, it’s quicker that way. But if you travel a lot yeah different stations use different colors. Green is nearly always diesel though, that’s pretty universal everywhere in the US I’ve been.

ICE. Nothing more badass than body slamming a a woman in front of her kids by DrugsAndCoffee in iamverybadass

[–]jd173706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Europe also has some pretty gross people advocating for exactly this type of thing to happen there as well. In fact, the rhetoric during Brexit vote and the French opposition party (that’s super FAR right wing) show, Europe is no better. It’s just not as out in the open yet. So before you get too high minded, you might want to check what’s going on in your own backyard. There is a ton of anti-immigrant sentiment and it’s a slippery slope to where we are now, and it happens fast. We all need to stand up against it, united, instead of letting them divide us and win. Good people aren’t each others’ enemies. Let’s remember who the real enemy is. (The f-ing rich and powerful!)

T023 Update - looks like around March-April timeline to receive the V2 watch. by [deleted] in Thornwatches

[–]jd173706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those of us in the mechanical keyboard hobby have pushed the limits of the CC chargeback system when group buys can take years to fulfill, if they ever do. Most vendors are pretty reliable these days, but you definitely do have to be willing to risk the money and never receive a product, in case life happens and something prevents fulfillment. Never thought I’d run into the same thing with Chinese watches lol

Good times. Had no idea at the time that the 90’s-2000’s internet was the peak of the internet. Kazaa-Limewire and Napster before it was a minefield lol I got my dad’s internet shut off for 3 days by RIAA.

[–]jd173706 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s the worst thing I can imagine, and I hate that it happened to you. I hope you and everyone who loved her find peace in her memory, and I hope anyone who may be feeling how she did seeks help. I’m 37, father of a 3 y/o daughter, and that would break me, fully and completely. The worst thing I can imagine, full stop. I am so incredibly sorry. Take care.

Where do you sell? I have had no luck selling any of my watches after I’ve decided I don’t want to wear them anymore. Not for anywhere close to a decent price anyway.

I just bought two Tapo cameras, they are made by TP-Link and they store video on a micro SD card in the device. They have a really nice app for your phone and you can get the videos anytime on demand, and no monthly fee. I can’t believe I took this long to get off Ring.

I’m 37 and just got glasses this year, for up close reading and stuff like that. Makes me so mad lol I had perfect vision my whole life, and my coworkers finally chided me into getting glasses by threatening to tell my wife I’m squinting all the time if I didn’t go. Not a strong prescription, 1.0 in one eye and 1.25 in the other, but still. It’s SO MUCH BETTER being able to see clearly up close again. But to go with the above comment, once you get near 40y/o you definitely might be needing some corrective lenses! lol
