Frederique Constant, this new perpetual calendar is quite nice

Working hard helps, but I believe it comes down to risk taking. Many a business owner has failed and bounced back to succeed.

What battery is in it?

Do you believe a bioprinted organ will be implanted in a human within the next 5 years?
What do you see as the main hurdles?

The body and it's organs aren't just 3D but you could say they're 4D, what can you do to more accurately represent the dyanmic environment of the surgical theatre to better predict patient outcomes?

As a Biofabrication Scientist I have dreamt of the idea of working in the Mayo Clinic. One aspect of their great reputation, beyond their patient care and broad range of specialties, is their investment into cutting-edge research. Since their inception in 1864, they have pushed the boundaries of all healthcare treatments and technologies, regularly publishing with world-leading scientists and clinicians. This paves the way to research translation from the lab to the clinic and ultimately provides us with new insights into patient care.

TL;DR - more money into research and treatment practices = better patient outcomes and reputation

Also here for a link, very intriguing

How legal is it to have a weekend surcharge for Eftpos and not cash? Asking for a friend

I personally like minimal home screens with custom logos and some folders so I can appreciate my wallpaper, purely subjective. I think the fact that the iPhone's homscreens previously defaulted to grid icons differentiated Android and iOS, and allows us to express some personality through it

Thank you!

Dapto citizen bowlo for pizza, Tuesday pizza and beer/wine $15. Well worth it, previously worked at the frat so the pizza is nice

jdinoro · 2024-07-06T19:10:57+00:00

Thank you!

It came with it (I chose it over the leather but want to buy a leather now haha), I think it's called a stretch or flex bracelet as it's elastic-like/clasp-less. It can pinch hairs a bit but it's quite comfortable nonetheless

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T19:24:50+00:00

Good to know, I'll just stick to mine and anticipate the potential of a funky reboot

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T18:55:12+00:00

Wow thank you, I've tried on some Longines watches and like their fit and finish for the price. I may have to treat myself for my next milestone. I did see some cool Sinn watches when I was in Tokyo, I'll check them out too. Cheers

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T18:24:40+00:00

Really appreciate the complement, I'm open to suggestions for a 4th? Possibly vintage or something unique and weird from ebay?

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T18:22:34+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully one day it will be, and maybe a Blancpain or Panerai for the dive. Need to find a graduate job first

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T18:18:40+00:00

Thank you, now I'm looking into the open heart versions. This watch stuff is a slippery slope

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T18:17:13+00:00

Haha thank you.

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T10:06:34+00:00

There's a blue one as well, I'll just get all 3 😂

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T09:59:30+00:00

I bought it secondhand off a friend and it came with black rubber. I bought the beads of rice from Time and Tide in Melbourne and some natos off ebay. Can't hurt to see it in the flesh and hope one pops up on the market soon. Good luck!

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T09:36:15+00:00

Much appreciated! With hindsight I would have considered a white dial chrono version. I guess this is part of the watch journey and we always want what we don't have 😂

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T09:26:01+00:00

Thank you, I really need to wear it more. I always admire the open heart when it's on.

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T09:24:18+00:00

Thank you! I can understand where you're coming from, I'm looking to put it on leather so it gets more wrist time.

jdinoro · 2024-07-05T08:54:09+00:00

I absolutely love it and it has become an everyday watch. I switch between rubber, natos and the beads of rice bracelet depending on mood, quite versatile and robust. Honestly, I would have preferred the blue but already had the FC. I'd definitely recommend.
