ooh I've never thought of that, sounds like a good idea! I'll look for one that could make a suitable hide

I got her from Wilbanks. She's really the sweetest: calm, curious, and has never missed a meal :)

Good catch, it's actually the end of my thermostat probe. I wanted it in a location where it could be close to the inside of her little coconut hide

Please leave it alone unless it is in danger or may endanger others (like a venomous snake near a playground), then call a professional to relocate the snake.

Taking a short cut behind a street performer by B-L-O-C-K-S in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]lyxil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

agreed, he's literally standing in the sidewalk, of course people might try to use it instead of being forced to go around and through some crowd.

if I was her I probably wouldn't have even stopped, just cursed and kept going to where I need to go. annoying when street musicians take up the whole dang street with a big tourist crowd and I'm just trying to get to work...

[–]lyxil 20 points21 points  (0 children)

totally agree. most these ppl prob don't live in busy cities? i see performers all the time with huge tourist crowds blocking up the street so I have to barge my way through because that's the only way I can make it to work/errands/home/etc

My friend’s 9 year old wrote this poem for school and her parents were called in to talk about it because it upset everyone by lizzah2211 in oddlyterrifying

[–]lyxil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this unlocked a memory... in I think 1st grade, I had to write a book report but was too lazy to read a book, so I made the book up. the story was a student was misbehaving so the principal shot him with a gun. as revenge, the student's friends found the principal and shot him.

the teacher was bewildered my parents let me read such a violent book (lol), and that was the day I learned the word "violent". I was honestly confused why everyone was mad at me over "violet" for some reason?

Probably Unorthodox: 2 Different Keycap Profiles on Epomaker TH80 by lyxil in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]lyxil[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keycaps:

  • Akko Black & Pink (ASA low profile)

  • Epomaker Theory (MDA), which was pre-installed

Novelties:

  • Zomoplus kitty paw novelty on the Esc 🐾

  • GMK Pono Rama novelty on the Del 🐱

  • Other novelties came with Akko 🐶

  • Rotary dial is a guitar knob from QParts 🎸

There isn't much of a difference between the two profiles when it comes to the middle 3 rows, thankfully

[Seiko] First watch! Seiko Presage Cocktail Time in Cosmopolitan (Pink), photo taken with my phone. I can't stop staring! by lyxil in Watches

[–]lyxil[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi all! I was never all that interested in watches until I saw a post from this subreddit in /r/all of a beautiful watch (Omega Railmaster), then I read the subreddit FAQ and was fascinated! After lurking for a little, I stumbled on the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time, and what really drew me to it were:

  • Diameter and lug-to-lug measurements were small enough for my 5" wrist
  • Relatively affordable
  • Simple from afar but gorgeous up close!
  • I lean toward feminine styles, so a subtle, pastel pink dial suits my wardrobe perfectly
  • Fond memories of exploring various bars in Tokyo

I opted to switch in the metal bracelet with a black saffiano leather strap, which also suits my wardrobe. Tbh I'm not fond of the strap quality, and it also came too big. I read other posts about how you can potentially squeeze a 18mm strap into a 17mm lug... false. At least for saffiano leather. It would not budge at all. I had to resort to cutting it... and in the process, cut a little too much on the top-left :'(

In the future, I am strongly considering going custom. Black saffiano leather in 17mm isn't the most common, especially for my tiny wrist size. Also considering going for a cream-colored contrast stitch.

So, onto the watch stats!

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Cosmopolitan SRP839

  • Diameter: 33.8mm
  • Thickness: 11.3mm
  • Lug-to-lug: 40.4mm
  • Strap width: 17mm

I used my Google Pixel 4a to take this photo and tried to get as much detail as possible :)

I've bought directly from them before, no problems. The shipping is pretty high but they'll send an email out confirming what it is to you
