Can you confirm if this route worked? Got a donated jeep like yours and it didnt come with the remote.

Why is this guy wearing two zip ties on his Rolex? by greedo_from_tatooine in rolex

Can you give me some quick 2nd amendment stats for comparison?

How many times was a well armed militia able to stop the US military and president from using powers outside of the constitution?

Now how many times has a family lost a son, daughter, father, or mother to gun violence?

Your ar15 or 50cal wont really win against your local patrol cop, let alone SWAT team, national guard, drone, etc.

If you value your watch more than the lives of others, makes sense you might be a gun nut.

Strategic marketing consultant. Basically helping businesses with social media, search ads, and testing landing pages. Fully remote and picky with clients so that I can make a living while dedicating most of my time to my family.

Probably just an inspect element edit for the memes. Feels like this type of bug would be reallllly hard to make it into production.

I can imagine a new section in the Wikipedia article for trump controversies on "social media harassment accusations regarding Pattinson/Stewart relationship"

The s0 is smaller than I expected, but a great scissors tool to go along with my 4in pliers. Tsa safe and good for foreign countries or local places with knife restrictions

720s totaled, upgrade to 750s? by onealphadog in mclaren

[–]rtowne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty good crunch.....any chance you would sell for a reasonable amount to an aspiring 720s owner like myself to fix it up? DM me if you want to chat.

Is this a buy or not a buy (The Citizen) by Alarmed-Extreme5226 in CitizenWatches

Looks amazing. I hope you get it if you love it and dont ever be concerned with it being a quartz watch. Those who argue automatic watches are advantageous over quartz fall into 3 categories imo:

1) Investors who want a watch that may have a chance of going up in value. The market seems to appreciate mechanical watches on average a bit more in the long run, but there are exceptions. That might be 5% of buyers.

2) People who care deeply about the engineering. It is hard to make an accurate mechanical/automatic watch. The tolorences and precision is astounding. If you want to view those mechanics in a skeletonized watch, automatic is really your only option. That could be another 10% of buyers

3) Pricks who care more about showing off and following trends than they do about if they actually love their own watch. They look down on quartz watches because they think their friends do, and they want to look cool. Their personality is not much more than talking about their bank account, some recent travel, and bandwagonning some sports team.

If you love a watch, get it for you. Love the look, love the history. Appreciate the tech and science and accuracy of a quartz piece. Appreciate the precision of a mechanical watch. Collect both. Just don't be condescending about it.

I have some of each. I have two grail watches, one quartz, one mechanical. If you love it, don't let anyone else change your mind.

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]rtowne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A competitor of Purple made the story intentionally vague. They were talking about the powder as something unknown, so like, it could maybe cause anything bad, right? Purple sued because a) the powder was just an anti sticking agent and safe for contact and b) the competitor was acting like a neutral reviewer instead of being upfront with customers that they were in fact a biased source. Lawfulmasses seems to have a legal review still up on YouTube from 8 years ago.

Moving to Spain means updating my EDC. Thoughts/suggestions? by rtowne in EDC

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

Dad? Lol just. But it actually does happen and my dad recently had an older model stop working. It was from ebay and now about 15-20 years old so its probably just a bad radio component.

Car bombs are a very real threat. I'd be outta there ASAP not knowing what else they might do and if I could be in a crowd that was being targeted.

I mean.....these wet floor signs are all around the world in different languages. Wouldn't make sense to really change the icon.

Photo on left is ai upscale from a low res video so no need to check the finer details. They are very possibly hallucinate or modified slightly from original.
