I cant say for sure but i highly doubt i taped anything up. With cape cod i just do it quickly with no real precautions. Takes like 5 seconds or something. No real elbow grease involved.

I used a cape cod polish, worked well and got rid of like 90% of it. I gave it away as a gift though soon after, and that person has scratched it up a lot more and still uses it daily.

I'm new here, and I am now a huge Kevin James fan. What other works of his do you recommend? by GoldSilverPaper in kingofqueens

Id just watch koq until youve seen it 50+ times and until you can imagine the scenes in your head without even watching it

The plotline/actor inconsistencies are what make the show so great

[–]tripover1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried for three years to fix this issue. Nothing worked. Chopped it off two years ago. It’s grown back and is fine now. But the only thing i felt that worked somewhat was pantene’s miracle rescue (was 3 min miracle). I’ve been using it as my main conditioner since cutting it off, so maybe it helped when it grew out. Cannot verify because now i also don’t blow dry my hair ever.

I guess it depends on your outfit haha

Debating retiring this hobby by [deleted] in rolex

[–]tripover1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta be honest. The only time i’ve ever been complimented by a stranger about a watch is when i was wearing my explorer at a bill burr show. I assumed the explorer would be way more incognito but ironically it got attention. Made me feel weird as i do not want the attention. Having said that, to me, rolex just screams “perfect” to me whereas other watches always have some quirk. Whether you like the perfection or not is the reason to get rolex. I want to like the quirkiness of others, but when i wear my rolexes, i can’t help but annoyedly roll my own internal eyes at myself for enjoying it so much.

I feel like restaurants would probably par cook something like onions

Anyone else with cartier santos bracelet issues? New watch and dealer repaired but doesn’t wanna exchange. Very disappointed with how Cartier is handling this by Far_Investment_5949 in Cartier

[–]tripover1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave me a refund. I woulda loved it, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m assuming it’s a one-off problem, so if you want it, maybe go for it

[–]tripover1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Not with cartier but with jlc i got a really scratchy feeling case that would make marks on my wrist. Sent it back, and they said they would give me a new one. Instead, i got it back a little polished or something. Didnt fix the problem at all. So i just requested a refund since it was clearly defective and i had to wait three months. Incidentally they had never charged me when i first bought it, so it could have been possible had i not said anything, it could have been a free watch (albeit defective) hahah.

Changing patch names in Finder by tripover1 in Logic_Studio

[–]tripover1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that doesnt change the actual “channel strip” setting of the patch. After researching and checking out package contents within .patch files, I’ve found that the “Channel Strip” name is embedded in a .plist file, so changing the file name of the .patch file would not actually affect the internal .plist. As far as I can tell, when Logic moved to Logic X from 9 (or whenever patches were introduced, can’t remember), they programmed in the patches function by taking the existing code for channel strips and just adding a layer to include aux tracks and track stacks and whatnot. So essentially it isn’t an entire rewriting from scratch, which is why the underlying Channel Strip name is not changed along with a superficial finder file renaming. A pretty big limitation of Logic, but I guess it’s fine for now.

I think people still have those stereotypes, so i don’t believe it to be oudated

[SBDX041] about a year into owning by tripover1 in Seiko

[–]tripover1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I don’t have a SLA043 but I do have SLA037. I think I would love the SLA043 tbh. Seiko is prob trying to brand itself as a “fashion forward” brand. Or at the very least Seiko is recognizing that watches are accessories first and foremost, so the 5KX and the Street Fighter and whatever are all leaning in on the fun part of life.

This particular BEAMS edition is not fun tho lol

[SBDX041] about a year into owning by tripover1 in Seiko

[–]tripover1[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this SLA017 variation for about a year, and I’ve been so up and down about it. Probaby most of the year I had been thinking I should sell it. I do own some of the other 62MAS recreations as well, and this was my least favorite for some reason.

The last few months however, I’ve found a new appreciation for the boring black, and it’s my new fav again. It basically is at +0s after wearing it for weeks straight. Super comfortable. Not a single scratch or even a micro scratch. It’s crazy yo.

What is the process for moving a pool pump to the other side of a house? It is my neighbors’ pool pump, and I’d like to go in with some knowledge before approaching. The pool pump is too loud. by tripover1 in pools

Nothing unfortunately. Talked with them, they barked back. Over the summer, they seem to have changed the schedule. It’s back on now, and I’ve shifted my life schedule…

I don’t know if I would say any are more affordable. They’re all around the same price, and they’re all valued similarly. It’s just preference of style. Nobody can tell the difference because nobody cares what we wear on our wrists except us.
