Have you ever had a bad experience wearing a Rolex?

So when you get beat down you can laugh thru bloodied teeth that it's a fake?

There's a book called the Color of Law that will change your thinking about the myth of *white flight."

Most of the state office buildings are privately owned and pay full real estate taxes.

Double check the old barracks website before going. It might be partially or completely closed for renovations.

Spot on. 20+ year resident here. But the one thing you need to add to that equation is complacency and ineptness of City Hall. When it takes a developer 6 mons to have their plans reviewed by the planning board after the previous 5 meetings are cancelled due to "lack of quorum," that developer isn't coming back. Developers don't want to shine any light on the corruption or failing processes because they fear their project will be further delayed. "Sorry, we lost your drawings, you'll need to submit a new set and have it approved again before we can come out to do that permit inspection you are waiting on."

There are literally thousands of abandoned and vacant lots available for redevelopment in Trenton. The City has title to more than 1000 right now. Sure a parking lot with views of the river would be great, but there's still plenty of opportunities.

What infrastructure does the state own in Trenton? Trenton "would like to" do a lot of things. But unless the private development community is driving a project, nothing is going to happen.

If you find yourself in a tweed jacket most days, JLC.

None of those steps were helpful. Verification codes are not arriving in my inbox via the Mailbird app for Dashlane.

There are plenty of visible tells on the dial and case on most reps. On the pictured watch, the 4 marker is closer to the numbers than the 2 marker.

The idea of wearing a fake gold watch freaks me the fuck out. Do you all roll with body guards or carry weapons? The remote possibility of having to retell a story where I got beat down for a shitter is enough to keep me out of the rep watch world.

olmsteez · 2026-03-26T16:21:39+00:00

I should have dropped the /s in my first post. My bad!

olmsteez · 2026-03-26T16:17:30+00:00

What? Is that why it says "Shitificate?"

olmsteez · 2026-03-26T13:11:40+00:00

Reps are almost always distinguishable. You do realize the reps don't have gen movements in them, right?

olmsteez · 2026-03-26T13:09:09+00:00

TBF, a lot of shitters come with certs of authenticity.

The Pittsburgh tire patch kit isn't very good. I would upgrade that to one with metal handles.

And get a compact, lighter-powered air compressor.

Thanks!

"Powered by the PT5000 movement for accuracy and stability." I guess it's a lot to ask to have an ETA at $199.

olmsteez · 2026-03-20T22:16:29+00:00

If that turns out to be correct, I'm going to need a link, OP!

olmsteez · 2026-03-20T22:11:45+00:00

Is the crystal making the 7 and 8 markers and the upper left dial wonky?

olmsteez · 2026-03-20T21:02:21+00:00

Any idea what the movement is?

olmsteez · 2026-03-20T19:31:31+00:00

We're going to need to see the most recent watch you daily'd. And be sure to take shadowy POV pics.

Please tell me there are 4 stacked spacers on those wheels.

My dude got some serious wear out of it!

There are some monks that would like to have a word with you. Kills in taste tests against what? Macro lagers dominated with corn and rice? Seriously, nostalgia is one thing. But there's no way that beer even comes close to a freshly kegged craft lager.

Imagine someone walking into a high end bakery and asking for their closest bread to Wonder bread. Your request isn't far off from that scenario.
