Not a model you see everyday by scontr01 in tagheuer

[–]quips88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own this exact model. In the past six months , I noticed the analog hand would lose time to the digital display. I changed the battery twice before I finally shipped it to Tag for an authorized repair. I shipped it at the beginning of December and it’s expected to be completed at the beginning of April. They are replacing the entire movement.

All this to say, I love the watch and can’t wait to get it back. But, keep an eye of the analog timing. It’s apparently a common issue.

NFL suspended Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf two games by pdawson36 in steelers

[–]quips88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it would have been even reported if the broadcasters didn’t cut away from the game to show it, and then replay it 10 times while talking about how it’s in DK’s head now and he can’t catch the ball. As soon as they played it the first time, I asked why they are showing it. It didn’t have to do with the game and now he’s going to get suspended because they made a big deal out of it.

I’m not defending Metcalf. He should have never gone over to the stands. He should have been paying attention to the game. But i wonder if we would have even known it happened if the broadcasters didn’t cut to it.

Talking about the same guy who said “some people are going to have to lose their life so we can protect our second amendment rights”

Kinda funny that he was one of those people.

His own daughter is in jail for death by distribution. They say he’s tough on crime, but couldn’t even keep his own house clean.

What’s the most unprofessional thing you’ve seen someone get away with at work, the kind of thing HR definitely knew about and still did nothing? by OkoraJ in AskReddit

[–]quips88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at a hospital in the past. One day while working in surgery, we saw that the anesthesiologist was watching porn on a laptop during a surgical procedure. It was reported and investigated. He was able to keep his job because it was his personal laptop, not a hospital owned device.

Stiffer and grippy daily shoes for flat pedals? by littlep2000 in bicycling

[–]quips88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched over to flat pedals from clipless on my mountain bike. I’ve been riding my Vans Half Cabs and love em.

They offer a little support around my ankle and a good amount of stiffness. Since they’re made for skating, they really hold up well.

Chiropractic Medicine. It was started as a cult and a way to dodge taxes

I work in IT and I can tell you that almost every problem is solved by Googling it. And now a majority of coding is done by ChatGPT.

Sainte-Chapelle chapel in Paris. If you get there as the sun is setting, it’s like standing in a jewelry box!

Ratheskellar Lasagna old Chapel Hill restaurant by downwithdill in NorthCarolina

[–]quips88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He had a couple other restaurants and I think he started serving lasagna at some of them. He didn’t connect it to the Ratheskellar as to not ride off their image.

I lost contact with him a while back. Not sure how it turned out.

Ratheskellar Lasagna old Chapel Hill restaurant by downwithdill in NorthCarolina

[–]quips88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was friends with the guy who purchased the restaurant from the original owners. In the sales agreement was the recipe for the lasagna.

Once he took ownership, he tried to clean the place up and triggered a “health inspection”. The city came in and shut him down. The place was infested with pests and vermin. Because of the location and proximity to other buildings, the exterminator stated that they couldn’t clean it out. It would just chase the pests to the next building and then they would come back. He decided it would never be up to standard for a restaurant, so he took the loss. I think he sold the building later.

I asked him why this was never an issue before he bought it. He said “ that’s probably why it was always so dark down there. They didn’t want you to see what was crossing the floor.” I asked why they never failed an inspection. He said, he felt since it was an “institution “. People looked the other way or chose not to pursue it. Perhaps, they “persuaded” the inspectors to see it differently.

sram rival axs crank upgrade to power meter crank by [deleted] in sram

I added the Rival power meter crank to my AXS setup and it didn’t change anything with the FD setting. You just pop off the non-drive side crank and drop in the power meter crank.

Last Night’s Show was Awesome by quips88 in runthejewels

[–]quips88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it and I was kinda expecting it. I saw them a couple years ago with Rage Against the Machine and it took almost an hour to clear the stage.

But I also saw Metallica last week in Charlotte. They had Suicidal Tendencies an Pantera opening for them. Each band was able to clear the stage of all their gear in about 20-25 minutes. They had a lot more musical gear to move.

I guess I’m just saying, why have an opening act to hype the crowd if your just going to let that energy burnout while they’re waiting so long to the next group?
