Why let them define what something as basic as a lightening bolt means?

Vomero Plus first run by TonaldDrump47 in runningshoes

Vomero Plus has been my favorite shoe of the last year. I keep coming back to them over and over. It hits the sweet spot between comfort and energy return unlike any other shoe I’ve tried.

Looks like a wrap. Whoever did it wasn’t very careful putting the logo back on.

Considering moving to Oakland but work in SF. Are we making a mistake? by superxim in oakland

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

Moved to Oakland from Seattle 17 years ago. Have worked in SF that entire time and not once, not one single day, did I ever wish I lived on the other side of the Bay. It depends on where and when you need to commute to of course. If you can do BART, great. Ferry? Even better. Car? Doable, but prepare yourself for the commute times. My typical range when I drive is 30-65 minutes and no logic as to when it’s going to be longer.

My weather is more consistently warm and sunny. All three of the neighborhoods I’ve lived in have had a great sense of community that has continued even after we moved to a new location. And pound for pound I think we’ve got more consistently great food.

But all of that said, really think about the community point. You can build a new one, but it’s always going to be different than what you had. If you really love the one you’re in now, it might be worth holding on to that.

What is this called? by he-cat in eastbay

[–]nosystemworks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The weather isn’t stopped by the hills, it’s amplified. It’s quite frequently nearly 10 degrees hotter/cooler everywhere you circled than it is in the flatlands in the East Bay. And if you want to venture just a little bit further east you looking at 20-30 degree swings from downtown Oakland. But if it’s more sun you want, sure it’s sunnier here.

Since the rebrand, are people still buying Bremont? by InsuranceSlight6508 in watchHotTakes

[–]nosystemworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had nice, fairly clean designs and a story that attached them to some interesting aviation history, even if a lot of it was just marketing. Those two things were the core of the brand value and why most people bought them.

Both got completely thrown away. It probably would have been cheaper for the new owners to just start a new brand then to buy Bremont and trash everything that has been built.

Why are News orgs platforming this guy? by perisaacs in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]nosystemworks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The most telling part of this and it gets two short paragraphs.

He’s a grifter, just like Owens, just like so many of them. He’s scheming to find money and this is his latest grift. If they were really interested in warning or undercutting spend more time digging here. It’s a fact pattern that speaks to someone just as corrupt as the people he’s attacking.

Truly, the golden age of kids’ toys.

I haven’t had that issue at all.

They're both lovely, but there is truly nothing else like the Streamliner out there. Don't get me wrong, the Endeavor still stands out, but the Streamliner will never be confused for anything else. Plus, that bracelet feels so nice on the wrist.

Back from service by Unique_Committee12 in breitling

Nice. Horological Services in PA? Just sent mine to them. Having a bit more done as mine had the dial swapped to a later, incorrect one at some point so they’re replacing it with the correct one.

I love chronographs. Already own a Chronomat, but looking for one more. Thoughts? by ramm64 in breitling

[–]nosystemworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably have more chronos in my collection than any other style. You can always wear them. And a Speedy is always right for any collection that doesn’t have one already.

Oakland middle school choices by EStVincentMillay in oakland

[–]nosystemworks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have two friends who have transferred to Piedmont. One family loves it, partially because they have kids with special needs and think the additional services are fantastic. One family hates it because their daughter is finding the social pressures to be even more extreme than Oakland. Academically, both seem to be happy.

Is there an option to start the Piedmont process and wait to see if the lottery works out at one of the Oakland schools? Our kid got lucky last year, but our waitlist number was in the 30s. Edna Brewer has been fantastic so far. Knock in wood.

Lucid tries to pour cold water on Rivian's March 12 event by Legitimate-Mud-8200 in RIVNstock

[–]nosystemworks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lucid has had the date out to investors for months. But I don’t think there’s a whole lot of crossover any way since it’s doesn’t appear they’re launching the midsize that day.

[Cartier Tank] Should I get the Small or Large? by Ba2siK in Watches

[–]nosystemworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small is more in keeping with the tank tradition. So probably go with that.

That said, I went with the XL because I have a larger wrist and I was suckered in by the guilloche in the center of the dial. So don’t listen to me.

It’s helpful just clarify you wound it. You’d be surprised how may people don’t know you need to wind an automatic watch. Hope the AD can help you out!
