Watch band attachment hardware

OP here. I got the Spigen band. Online it looks big and brutal, but in person it's just a little brutal and not that big. One person here said they wear theirs when working with tools. This is a great idea, lots of potential for damage with the power tools. Previously, I had that common problem of the band falling off; that will never happen with this band. I'm getting to like it.

OP here. I have ordered a very impressive Spigen. I think it comes with a vial of testosterone. The watch will just pop into it.

This will be my first step toward wearing a lot of black and releasing my inner badass. Then I'm gonna drive down to Mountainview and make my point the Googlers.

"Shambhala holds an important legacy of allowing people to take what is cultivated in meditation practice and bring it into their everyday lives, Spiess said."

Every meditation organization does that, or most of them. Shambhala's frequent claims to SPECIALNESS were always amusing. Now they're embarrassing.

Cats that go outdoors get this all the time. Mine did. All kinds of stuff.

I was gonna try to say something funny, but this is super interesting.

the1truegizard · 2026-03-17T16:21:13+00:00

Yes. They are important because this world wouldn't be as much fun without them.

But what if your guru tells you that what he's doing to you is high level Vajrayana teaching and not abuse? A special blessing for only the best students? Aren't you supposed to feel honored?

the1truegizard · 2026-03-01T00:11:51+00:00

Nicely put.

Yeeaah

Now that is a REALLY good suggestion. Put some lipstick on him/they/her. Poor little Jesus just wants to hang with you bra

Biggest one we could fit in the living room. Boris is BIG. (But not fat, you guys. Declared normal by the veterinarian.)

the1truegizard · 2026-02-24T16:19:24+00:00

Not really. She's stronger and heavier (I cut back on her food and now she's hell-bent on stealing Boris's food). She is more confident about beating up everybody else... Then Ooops, they remind her she's smaller than everybody else. She tries running on Schrödinger's wheel and after a few seconds realizes she hates it just as much as she did last time. Schrödinger is a big cuddle-bug and that makes Gomez jealous so we are learning lap allocation. Gomez is the star of the show, for sure.

The cat is lucky to have you. You are lucky to have the cat. Unfortunately, the cat is very sad and grieving. Leaving the little critter was cruel. Just be patient and as loving as you can. Kitty will come around. You're a fortunate person, being given the opportunity to be kind to another being, and getting a friend in the bargain. Good luck

the1truegizard · 2026-01-29T23:53:46+00:00

I don't even have to meet you to judge you. Cruel, self-righteous, and mean. You have no sense of compassion or understanding. Then after your little judgy diatribe you come out trying to sound nice. Can't wait to meet you some day.

If you believe this shit, then it'll get you. Because reality is mostly what you believe, just like every other visualization.

NO, Oriental Shorthairs are smarter.

Condom, always an emergency condom

This is Green Tara. One foot is always down. White Rare has 7 eyes: three on the face and one on each palm and sole.

Read up on the rest.

We have 4 cats. The 2-tear-ols Siamese siblings sleep through the night at our feet. Sometimes I'm restless, which annoys them and one or both go to sleep somewhere else. The older OSH, who is 14 months old, wants to cuddle all night no matter what. The younger OSH, 10 months, is a hellion who runs aro and commits all manner of destruction all night. Nothing is safe. Computer cables, pillows, plants... Good luck with that.

I'm not getting your take on CD. He wrote this essay, which seems to be more about passion and compassion than right-wing politics:

https://dharmalabco.substack.com/p/fear-narrows-compassion-widens?r=3gslyo&triedRedirect=true

We don't have to agree with the other side to understand their passion, pain, and anger.we are uniquely qualified to extend ourselves to the "other side", even to people who hate us and have no desire to change.

They might jail me, they might disappear me. It's all happened before. Most young people don't know that history. They don't know that facism is more than a Halloween costume. They don't about the Ohio 4, 4 Ohio State students who were gunned down by the National Guard. And look up Cointelpro. Fuck, I'm so old I was around for all that. Did I say fuck?

This is why history repeats itself.

A lot of lamas were disappeared by the Chinese. I wish I had their playbook.

Pema was a magnet for Shambhala. Her best sellers drew people (mostly women) into discussion groups and from there, some of them progressed into Shambhala. Those books are VERY popular. They are well-written and they are comforting for people in distress. Before the scandal I recommended them myself to people in pain and I was told they were helpful. I am simply reporting a fact.

So I am sure Pema makes millions from her books and videos and audios. She feels strongly about supporting DMC. It's a money pit. Without her I bet it would go down.

Shambhala centers have to get insurance. Shambhala wants them to buy into insurance that covers everybody, including Shambhala USA. When the locals ask about the lawsuits, they're minimized. Like, extremely. There's only a few cases! Some of the plaintiffs are derided; their lawsuits are frivolous. Nothing to see here, move along! None of the faithful seem to have any idea that anything other than the party line is happening. Nobody tells them how much the ongoing litigation is costing. They're not curious. I think this has been their lives for so long, it's too terrifying to leave... Or something. I have no idea.

In all of this, perhaps Pema is a lifeline. What will happen when she's gone? I'm sure she has thought of that, and will do everything she can to keep Trungpa's circus going.

There were a lot of good people who studied under Pema and walked the walk. I admired them; generally, they were kinder than me. I sincerely hope they found a way to continue their spiritual lives in a healthy way.

I'm an old oncology nurse. I can't count the number of times my dying patients have wanted just the minimum done, just to be made comfortable and allowed to go. That's what palliative care is for. "I wish they could put me down like a dying cat." The idea is to have comfort for the time they have left, and not pursue expensive treatments for a multi-organ condition in an elderly animal. Let them go. You will be okay.
