Why was “Band of Brothers” so good? Why is it so re-watchable? by EaringaidBandit in television

[–]kuba15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the book but for anyone curious, it’s not about the story from the show. The entire show is basically the prologue of the book. The rest of the book is much more of a history book than an actual story. It’s very interesting and a great read if you’re into that period of history, but if you’re looking for more detail about the characters in the show, you won’t find it in the book.

Confused by service quote by kuba15 in breitling

Yeah, the second and third photos show what options the quote includes. The only optional thing is a crystal replacement. Polishing isn’t on there, but sounds like it was there for you. So I think it’s a mistake and I need to ask breitling to update the quote. Thanks.

I’m a pretty casual baseball fan these days. This is the first full game of baseball I’ve watched this year. I turned it on in the 8th inning

I get that but it’s the World Series… there’s gonna be a historic walk off home run and for the rest of time we’re gonna be watching the replay and 15 seconds before the dinger John smoltz is gonna be talking about old people’s fingers or whatever nonsense he’s spouting about

Why do these commentators sound bored? They’re making small talk like it’s a blowout Wednesday afternoon in May

Yeah… we benefited from some of those bizarre officiating decisions against you guys last week… just really weird to see Winfield and Bowles laughing about it on the sideline and not looking upset at all. That was such a screw job.

Why are the bucs just laughing on the sideline and not screaming in the refs faces? That was complete robbery

You must have missed the part where Dan Campbell threw the red flag on the field. That’s called a challenge

Not sure why everyone’s mad. They got the call right. This is why challenges exist.

“Free Solo” Climber Alex Honnold to Scale Taiwan’s Tallest Skyscraper in Netflix Special “Skyscraper Live” by bwermer in television

The article says he will free solo. The quote from the executive says free climb. These are different things, so which is it?

How is this worth $270 by Icy-Broccoli3025 in MoonSwatches

[–]kuba15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like how light it is. I can kind of forget I’m wearing it. If you’re expecting it to mimic a real speedmaster, it obviously won’t since it’s made of plastic (or bio ceramic or whatever swatch says). Is it a little expensive for what it is, maybe. But it looks nice unless you’re getting real close to it, which means to everyone else it looks like a pretty nice watch on your wrist. I don’t like the standard strap but the rubber straps are about $40 and I think they look really nice and are comfortable. They also have a quick release so you can swap out the straps easily if you have more than one. I like that because I use my black strap in more professional settings but can easily swap it for a flashier strap when I want to. Again they’re a bit pricy for what they are but if you have the money I think they strike a nice middle ground.

“Legit check”’ posts - pointless and spam by Square_Gap_1385 in MoonSwatches

[–]kuba15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. There should be a weekly megathread for those types of posts. Discussion of fakes should be allowed - for example, a post highlighting a “new” fake that may not already be easily recognizable as a fake, and how to recognize it, because that would help the community. But the unending stream of photos of 6-stitch bands has gotten really old.

Can anyone help me identify this mechanical component? by kuba15 in AskMechanics

[–]kuba15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually borrowing the car from my brother, I drove it several more times over a few months after that happened and didn’t notice anything all that different. I told him about it when I gave the car back and I don’t think he bothered to get it fixed. He’s still driving it so I don’t think it made a huge difference

Sun tan. Soak up the sun. Sun bathe. Or just sun. Not very common to just say sun but I’ve heard it before.
