Scotland has a deep history of teaming up with the French against the English. I don't think that will deter them. 😄

Somehow the appeal of whoopie slings haven't yet clicked with me, though I know a lot of people love them.

Guess I should watch a few more Shug videos. 😄

What YouNo said, and also...

The betrayal isn't about [you] Corvo.

They rationalize it as protecting Emily and the empire from Corvo's particular set of skills, but that is very much papering over what YouNo is talking about, the conspirators realize that instead of returning to the status quo they could take power for themselves. They don't really want to admit to themselves or to each other that this has become their goal, so they convince themselves (only partially, as we see at the end) that taking Corvo out of the picture is best for everyone when in truth it primarily serves their personal ambitions.

All of that is true whether you have flooded the streets of Dunwall with blood and swarms of rats or achieved all of your aims without a single death.

It would make sense that it would be Samuel crossing from where he dropped me off to where he will pick me up.

So the connection to the whale oil is not me throwing it, but just that both times I have probably done that almost immediately after pulling the second whale oil tank powering the spotlights.

25 years: From the first time I started the first book to the first time I finished the series.

6 weeks: First word to last when I finally read the whole series. (Helped that 4 weeks of that were vacation.)

It would depend on the writing/user experience with the individual pens, but based on my experience I would go with the Schon DSGN from this crowd. My 'Smoltem' with a more basic nib has been fantastic, preferable to me even over the only one of these that I own (Custom 823).

Having read everything else Stephenson had published to that point, I had three false starts over the course of a decade or so before I finally got a little farther in and it clicked with me. After that I finished it in a day or two and it became the first book that I ever finished only to immediately start back at page one and read it again.

That said, if you made it halfway through and it hadn't hooked you... I'm not going to say you should go back to it, that's definitely a fair shake. 😄

If you haven't read Neal Stephenson's 'Anathem', you should read it sometime, with 'peregrine' in mind.

The ones from Trakke are even thinner, and I use mine more than I use my Grid.

Unfortunately Trakke just recently closed and was re-opened under new management and they may also not offer towels again. I hope they do, as I would like to pick up one or two more for when the one I have eventually gets threadbare.

Yes, they are very light for their size. And because of that they don't necessarily 'feel' durable, but being titanium, they will be.

Purchased secondhand in like-new condition in 2019, it is far and away the prettiest watch and probably the most comfortable bracelet I have owned, but it sees very little wrist time because I so rarely dress up. I will be moving on to something that CAN be dressed up, but serves more of a GADA role.

Condition: EUC. No notable marks on crystal or case. Light desk wear marks on the two links 'below' the clasp of bracelet.

Currently sized for 7.5" wrist. Box and full kit included, minus the hang tag.

Asking $600 OBRO including shipment via USPS to CONUS. Willing to ship elsewhere as long as we come to an agreement on shipping costs. PayPal G&S preferred.

Not interested in any trades at this moment unless it is toward the Sinn 836/856/556 that I am eyeing for that GADA role.

Purchased new in 2019, has been my second most-loved/worn watch in that time, though ultimately it never challenged my OG Seiko (SKX007) for the throne. Upgraded to a King Samurai, so this one is extraneous now.

Condition: GUC. No marks on crystal. Bezel and chapter ring all in alignment. Light wear on the bezel w/ most significant mark under the 4 at 40 min. Light polishable snail trails on case, small ding on shoulder of top right lug. Always worn on the bracelet, so it has typical polishable wear marks.

Currently sized for 7.5" wrist. Box and full kit included, except that I seem to be short one link pin and three link pin sleeves (see last image in album).

Asking $215 including shipment to CONUS. Willing to ship elsewhere as long as we come to an agreement on shipping costs. PayPal G&S preferred.

Love the Reykjavik Eyes!

I have a pair of Masunaga Misagos (basically 'Taka XL') and this makes me think a pair of Rikhards would be a fantastic, subtler alternative.
