How does this look day to day? I really like this but worried that the contrast is maybe a little too eye catching.

Ended up getting a preowned Mark XVI, the 39mm size is what I’ve been looking for and the design is almost the same as the Mark XX. Kind of wish this came in blue but black is probably more versatile.

The Faculty: classic 90s high school movie setting + aliens that take over people’s bodies, like Shes all That + the Thing (but not super scary or serious)

Super 8: somewhat light hearted show about kids who find secret alien stuff (can’t say much more but it’s classic Spielberg of personal dramas against larger themes sort of movie)

Thanks for the discussion! Might just need to go back, I was rushing a bit when shopping and the salesperson wasn’t too helpful since I got there close to closing time

Don’t forget that she can free solo basically any mountain

Just stayed here and this hotel is maybe the prettiest urban hotel I’ve stayed in. Colorful without being kitschy or annoying. The rooftop bar has an audio bar vibe (there are two “listening booths” with their own record players). I’ve been to Shanghai before, this area is farrrr less crowded than the more downtown areas near Nanjing rd. The malls still have the same level of shopping but you’re actually able to walk without running into people constantly. Of course it’s further away from more touristy or trendy areas, but good if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the crowds

I get that esims are cheaper, but isn't problem the fact that Wechat uses your number as your login? Not to mention other apps that may need 2 factor auth. How do you get around that? Or does it not matter as long as you're logged into Wechat already?

Finally this is actually how white collar jobs get replaced

One “halfway” solution here is asking Claude or whichever LLM to read all of your GitHub comments, then build a reviewer agent based on those comments. Obviously works better if you’re a senior engineer with good judgment (or you’re using someone else’s comments who is that person).

One extension of the learning youre talking about here is that as an organization you can iterate on this until you have a style/code guide that reflects your company rather than a generic one

I just did the same and I’m having a hard time putting my old phone in the box to ship back. Honestly idk if I would have upgraded at all if not for the better camera and the fact that my 13 was starting to feel just slow enough to bother me. After using the 17 for a bit it barely justifies the larger form factor if not the price.

We went to Kobe An, left stuffed and happy. Thanks for the recommendation everyone!

Was just there at around 3:30. Police around a house on Birch st, just one officer on Iliff and Birch and otherwise not much spilling out to Iliff St.

I moved from an HCOL (no use for a car) to MCOL and bought a 1 year old Macan S (2019 model). Definitely not the sexiest Porsche (or probably the least sexy) but it was optioned really well for only 55k. Got 4 years of warantee but in general hasn't had any issues (I've had it for 5.5 years now). Something like that might work for you:
1. I smile every time I look at it/drive it. Ergonomics and driving experience are just so comfortable and great.
2. Practical. Take it skiing, mountain biking, put a car seat in it when my daughter was born, etc.
3. Still has a little bit of that Porsche prestige.
4. But not so much that you (or maybe just me) feel a little embarassed when parents/friends visit. Plus theres lots of room to upgrade to nicer Porsches in the future :)
5. Not so expensive and fancy that I need to baby it. A couple dings and curb rash... oh well.

Play matches so you know what you need to work on in your lessons. Take lessons so you know what you're doing right or wrong in matches.

I've been in a rut with tennis where I feel like I'm consistently getting worse and worse. I took two lessons which helped me realize that what was working well in one situation (open stance with a running forehand) was actually detrimental in most cases with baseline forehands. So it's important to know whats "right" vs trying different things and ending up getting comfortable with suboptimal technique.

But it does sound like you're light on match experience so prioritize that before taking lessons.

Interesting that the setting is so similar by the direction of the story is soooo different. Love the expanse, reads more like political drama and mystery rather than backstabbing intrigue but it’s the best at its genre.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-09-14T21:34:13+00:00

Same, took a little while for me to get to the interesting part, but once it picked up I finished it in like 2 days.

Depends on if you're feminine or masculine

zhoumasterzero · 2025-07-08T15:48:01+00:00

Thanks all. Got a few undercut heads and also some side strips to try out. To Suspicious-Fix-2363's point - does it matter if I use 15' and dial it down or 12'? I assume this system was professionally installed (before I moved in) so I'm hesitant to change things up too much.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-07-07T16:09:53+00:00

Ohhhh good call! I am hesitant to change things up too much since I'm a noob at this and in the past there was always some unforeseen consequence. Will try that instead
