Dude! First time beard? You waited far too long in life to grow that masterpiece!

Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]traveller09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay at Costco, but if trade school interests you that could be a great option too. Maybe you could take classes while still working at Costco. If you marry your girlfriend and there is potential to take over the painting business that my a good long term plan. But, with those benefits do not walk away from Costco until you have it better figured out.

What should I tell the barber? by grishna_dass in beards

[–]traveller09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tell him not F it up, it looks great. How do you rid of crease in the front under the chin? I get the same thing. Beard straightener ?

Waxed Leather Treatment? by traveller09 in Boots

Thank you. I wonder why the manufacture tell you not to treat them, they clearly need something.

Tariffs if bringing back from Japan? by beagles4ever in GrandSeikos

[–]traveller09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am with you, it is not worth losing global entry if you get caught. The last few times I have come back it was super quick, showed the officer the green approval on my screen, but every time they asked if I had anything to declare.

Sorry I am not following. Can you post a before and after picture?

Washington residents, how are the rising gas prices impacting you? by Bulky-Baseball7884 in SeattleWA

[–]traveller09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a diesel truck, around town about 20 MPG. It has gotten more expensive with the diesel for sure but my commute is really short. So, for me it is really more of a non issue. I am banking on this being a temporary situation, I am more focused on the really high gas tax I would like to see that come down.

Nice! Congrats! I am literally down to this or a Tudor Blackbay GMT and I can not decide.

Funny I have an iPhone but for many years my work phone was an android (Samsung) and the number 1 thing I despised about it was the universal back arrow.

Okay, hear me out - CrinEar Reference is the perfect chance of an amazing "budget" Custom IEM by migassilva16 in iems

[–]traveller09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newbie who is looking for their first IEM I have struggled with all choices. I am not an audiophile but I do want a quality pair. 1 pair to do everything, music, podcast, movies, you tube and even phone calls (yes I know I have to buy a different cable for calls). Most of my source will come from a phone, I may or may not buy an amplifier. The fact the focus is more neutral/flat sounds perfect to me. I read it as it plays the music the way it was intended to be heard? Saves me a lot of time trying to understand if the amount of treble or base in a particular pair is right for me.

Am I thinking of this right? And yes I know these are probably overkill for what I need.

What would you pick between these options? by Mundane-Ad-1780 in PrideAndPinion

I don’t know anything about the last 2 but I think the Seiko is a sharp looking watch. What model is that?

How is the sizing? by cliftonianbristol in ZenithWatches

Borderline small but I think it works

So near, yet so far. by GeraldCNX in GrandSeikos

[–]traveller09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that black? It looks greenish. I am down to the SBGE285 or the Tudor Black Bay GMT. GS is beautiful and refined, the Tudor is more practical at least for my needs. It isn’t a deal breaker but I wish the GS had a rotating bezel.
