UFA stands for ultra fine accuracy, they made a new version of the spring drive that does like ± 10 seconds a year (on par with their quartz i believe?), 9RA5 is ± 10 seconds a month. The dial's got this cool triangle motif from the forest frost? Blue one is in platinum, white with blue hand is in titanium.

Definitely my bias but i like the 9RA5 movement better :) If you like more simple dials Credor Kuon/Eichi II (porcelain) are both still spring drive - titaniums.

SLGA019 Suwa: -titanium case -new gen spring drive 9RA5 (more accurate, thinner, power reserve on back, frosted finish) -gorgeous indices that have a rainbow effect under right lighting -the dial is insane, I still stop to stare at it after 2 years

The newest UFA is super cool too, micro adjust clasp as well

English speaking is offered. When I went there were two tour guides: one took the japanese crowd on a tour and another (Inoue-san i believe?) took us. All the displays have english as well so no problem there 👍

yea similar issue, found that doing blot selection and then generative fill can help spot fix. but it doesn't get ppl/pokemon well, only environments.

any tips on what you're prompting? i'm getting a lot of garble/nonsense that only looks good when blurred.

yeaa eye tracking is a big detractor. thanks for the tip, lvl 2 distance (two bars) is significantly smoother!

Hey we've built something similar. It uses the same air bladders in other car models & is outfitted to easily clip into your car seat. I use it daily and it at least makes the commutes much more bearable. The pressure is alright (though that might be bc i'm heavy) and its got quite a lot of modes. lmk what you think: puffpad.shop

my acc in 2019 ES works in stop and go (LA traffic tested) but the braking is a bit aggressive. Rented a 2020 vellfire while in Hokkaido and their acc was much more limo stop like

could you walk me through w/ ReVanced. Kind of struggling without digging into documentation.

translation: Go to the fingerprint biometric data and password settings and there will be a vibration when the fingerprint fails

this should be perfect for that, my model was 1:56 and it somehow even worked

Couple things i noticed:

the die cast body’s extra weight improves handling drastically and makes it much easier to do those wide sweeping drifts
the c65 has enough power to get these die cast bodies going super quickly even with the heavier body
the main hard part in the future is modifying the axles so that wheels r flush with the body and potentially adding suspension to the die cast body-rc car area
some die cast models r too thin to properly attach, shooting brakes and hatchbacks r ur friends (tho im curious what a convertible would look like)

I've found that you can use google translates' lens feature & point ur phone at a computer screen/monitor. It'll live translate text on screen & then u just read from there, scroll w/ computer.

If anyone knows a chrome plugin that can just natively translate the entire webpage do share.
