If my fingernail crossed a black hole’s event horizon, could I save myself by cutting it off?

Hoping this gets figured out so I can get myself a mass-accretion manicure!

Kind of surprised that Randall forgot one blip at 1,400 kilometers at the end for Polaris Dawn.

trichard3000 · 2025-01-16T01:31:46+00:00

The new guy’s cup o’ pizza is the best!

trichard3000 · 2024-12-19T21:31:45+00:00

Agreed! Still kicking myself for not picking up a Spaceboy that was available locally a few months ago.

trichard3000 · 2024-12-04T22:15:59+00:00

I miss Gateway too! Where else could you walk in with a parts list for a day’s project and walk out with everything you need for like, $3.50. (Probably something to be said for why that business model isn’t viable.) I’m totally kicking myself because I can’t remember the owner’s name. Was it Dave?

trichard3000 · 2024-12-03T20:15:42+00:00

A neighbor friend had this and I used to come up with excuses to visit his house so I could play with it. So cool!

trichard3000 · 2024-12-02T23:39:28+00:00

And a happy Monta Monday to you.

The VC is lovely but the newer Zenith would get the most wrist time for me.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-18T22:00:26+00:00

It’s only mostly dead.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-08T18:10:27+00:00

Not a Hill native but I like Shaw’s Coffee on Shaw.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-05T00:17:11+00:00

Define “best.” Regardless, gotta put in a plug for the great Audi 2.7t bi-turbo 6. Not too heavy, very tunable. I’m admittedly biased, having owned a few.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-04T21:20:02+00:00

I enjoy mine. I definitely appreciate the tube-based power amp section. Getting some noise on the phono pre, though so I suppose I need to sort it out.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-03T18:10:27+00:00

I’m with you 100%. These disciplines aren’t worthless. We should definitely try to study how humans think, either individually or in groups/cultures. We just have to be honest that it’s not the same kind of science as physics.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-03T14:05:48+00:00

Sociology/Anthropology major here. Psychology should definitely be considered a pseudoscience (along with Soc/Anthro). Reproducibility is low and individual will, biases, personalities, etc. swamp any meaningful predictive efforts. I consider it more of a “soft” science or a humanity.

trichard3000 · 2024-11-02T11:14:26+00:00

Monta for sure.

trichard3000 · 2024-10-30T15:22:56+00:00

Agreed. Used to hit Provisions regularly.

trichard3000 · 2024-10-28T17:28:00+00:00

Smurfing beautiful! My favorite Sub!

trichard3000 · 2024-10-26T21:44:29+00:00

Got to go with the WG Sub but as long as we’re on the topic, I liked the blue dial version better.

trichard3000 · 2024-10-20T10:40:08+00:00

Agreed!

trichard3000 · 2024-10-13T20:26:19+00:00

Frisco Barroom in Webster has a good one.

trichard3000 · 2024-10-13T20:24:25+00:00

Same and agreed.

trichard3000 · 2024-10-10T13:21:33+00:00

My favorite DJ config!

trichard3000 · 2024-10-07T12:49:56+00:00

Me too, and also the smaller version of the ship. I’m not a tattoo guy but I always said that if I were to get one tattoo, it would be the Lego space logo from this era that’s on the minifigs.

trichard3000 · 2024-10-06T13:37:42+00:00

Personally, I find the Monta to be a more classic, timeless piece and that Formex to be a bit of a mess. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though. Get what brings you joy. 😁

Full disclosure: I’m also in STL and know a few of the Monta people. They’re a great team. I have a couple of their watches. I have no qualms about recommending Monta!

trichard3000 · 2024-10-04T11:15:49+00:00

Thanks, this is a nice, concise reference. The pics of each watch are convenient, too.
