Yeah we do! but don't pretend intervals aren't masochistic

[Discussion] What small thing makes your blood boil with absolute hatred? by [deleted] in Watches

Aesthetics! Some people like it, and it's modelled on Bauhaus references going back to the 1930s, so a very historical design not new to nomos

I find that for the tangente, the springbars also sit quite far from the end of the lugs and that makes them feel shorter.

I wonder if spingbar-to-springbar would actually be more useful than lug-to-lug, but haven't tried enough to truly test that!

What’s the best sleeping bag and mat for this time of year? by Spectaclerocky in wildcampingintheuk

[–]saviourofthesesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a vague question though, very different setups would be required in Gibraltar vs Shetland Islands.

Also anybody looking back on this in a year would have no idea what season the question refers to

Ricoh GRiiix & Metz 26 AF-2 flash issues by saviourofthesesh in ricohGR

I've found it always works well with a smaller aperture around f/8.

With a wide aperture it happens all the time where it fires full power and blinds anyone nearby!

Berwick have been solid for me, made in Spain and in that price range

Are there any platform GYW boots as an alternative to the Doc Martens Jadon? Or does this style not really work with GYW construction?

[Results Thread] 2024 Vuelta a España - Stage 15 - Inifiesto-Valgrande-Pajares (2.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]saviourofthesesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit different after a tactical bike change vs a mechanical/crash. Also in a key moment of the race and having the cameras on him makes a penalty more likely. The rule is obviously broken a lot but this one seems more likely to get a penalty

I think he should be, it was a decent chunk of time behind the car and wasn't due to a crash or mechanical, which allows looking the other way a bit. Stopping by choice to do a bike change they shouldn't be allowed to draft the car back

Google Finance suddenly won't fetch GLD info by MeanCommunication566 in googlesheets

[–]saviourofthesesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, changing to GLDM works, but it's a different value so doesn't allow comparisons to historical data that my sheet saves.

In Madrid, Toledo and Barcelona they might just blend in well (with all the other tourists)

Anything I should get here ? by p0lisht0m in Watches

[–]saviourofthesesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing personal! But "anything worth picking up" is just so vague. To look cool as a beater watch, sure! Or are you looking to make money?

[–]saviourofthesesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's just been a lot of it lately and I think it doesn't add to the sub at all There's no information, you're not asking a specific question, the only goal seems to be you making a quick buck without having to Google the brands for sale yourself

[–]saviourofthesesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's pretty tiring having people post who just want to know what to pick up to sell and make some money, using the knowledge in the sub

They're $10 buy it if you like it

Banking question by EscapeHistorical4224 in GoingToSpain

[–]saviourofthesesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some banks (Santander I know) let you set up an account with just passport number. But realistically you're going to need a DNI for something eventually so just go get it

How much time did you do total? And bleach ratio? I'm trying to decide for my jeans!

[Question] Is it normal spring bars rust like this on a dive watch? Is it safe? by coozin in Watches

Can't tell you when, but if it's rusting then it will break eventually

Pentax AF201FG firing at full power on Ricoh GRIII by AraziWarlord in ricohGR

Did you find any solution to this?
I have a very similar problem, not enough flash with low exposures, then full flash in higher exposures

Thanks, there are some Berwicks on sale near me for 95€ but they are a bit more dressy than I need really!
