  1. It is, as far as I'm concerned. Just a personal preference - no worries!
  2. Oh. I don't watch the trailers because I prefer to avoid the spoilers.
  3. I think the Sin Eater Weirdo gets Gator during their next scene.
  4. I lost my Wordle data when trying to get rid of all the ads on this site a while back, but here is what I have to show for myself. I used NARDS MOTEL for a long time in both games. In Wordle, I had about as many 3s as 5s (with a ton of 4s),but since switching to (spoilered just to be courteous) I have many more 3s than 5s since, so it definitely makes a difference what you start with.

  5. I've got this bracelet on my Alpinist, and I think it looks good and feels fine: https://www.strapcode.com/collections/watch-bands-for-seiko-alpinist/products/metal-ss-pgd05-p2g064 And this bracelet on my SKX009, which is my daily, around the house, dad-mode watch, and it's sturdy as shit - highly recommended. https://www.strapcode.com/collections/watch-bands-for-seiko-skx007/products/metal-ss-bcl03-b025 Strapcode makes a ton of other bracelets and straps for Seiko and a handful of other brands. They're overseas somewhere, but their shipping is fast. As far as rubber straps go, I've got an orange one of these on my Orange Monster, a black one on my Moon MoonSwatch, and a black one on my bronze Borealis Navale, and am very pleased with them. I have fairly small wrists, and the straps are pretty long, so the end will occasionally come out of the second of the two little "tuck through loops" (for lack of a better term), but it's infrequent. The corners of the buckle itself are a tiny bit on the sharp side, but they are pretty flush, and I've never had a problem with it, but it's just something I noticed and remain aware of. https://www.borealiswatch.com/collections/premium-diver-watch-rubber-straps-1970s-style I'll post pictures of all these someday whenever I get around to it.
  6. His head looks slightly off center.

  8. I'm embarking on Day 3 of the shitfest that's going around - currently blasting soup through a hose for the third time this morning. But it's a great weight loss plan!
  9. He just saw a dwarf on television and exclaimed, "Wow, a man baby!"
  10. "it's raining, so I should totally negate my turn signals!"
  11. Almost had a shough yesterday myself. But I'll tell you one thing, coughing while you're perched on the throne and backing one out is one of life's great unpleasantries - felt like my entire vascular system was going to explode from all the conflicting pressure.
  12. All that pizza probably didn't help your asshole, either! *rimshot

  14. The Grabke you have could have been mine! That picture is a decade (and two cross-country moves) old - I've since ebayed many of my reissues over the years to pay for speeding tickets. Part of an agreement with Mrs. Doom that one indulgent foolishness must pay for the other... I still have a few reissues, but I know for a fact that the entire Roskopp reissue series went to line the coffers of Tifton, Georgia...
  15. ^^^^very quickly, and very carefully! Post some pictures once you get everything hung up! Are you doing anything beyond the generic "fishing line and a nail" method of hanging? I have had good success with Ook hooks in the past (they're used in the picture below), but I don't know whether they're still the right tool for my current job. I've mentioned this previously upthread, but my collection (probably between 80 and 100 decks right now?) is still all boxed up and waiting to be hung, but it's such a large undertaking that it's about the last thing we'll ever get around to as far as home improvements. And there are two added levels of difficulty - plaster walls, and I've been allowed the walls of the staircase leading to our basement, so it won't be easy to get up there... Here's an old picture that I dug up that includes the Schmitt Stix Hans Lindgren deck (upper right, with Heckle and Jeckle) that originally sported the Indy 101s currently on my dangerous little cruiser. I was a pretty small kid back in the day, so I got the bright idea to just ride a freestyle board like a regular deck - I put rails on it and everything. Predated the trend towards popsicle sticks by a decade, and gained quite a bit of height to my (still quite meager...) ollies as a result of the weight difference...

  17. I fucked around with the idea a few times back when I had two retired greyhounds. No disasters, but ultimately not advisable. Your dog may be different though.

  19. @Message Board User 10,005 @WithoutAClue 10,001 @Celery Man 10,000 ********************************* @Prepuce of Doom 6,580 @TTU13 2,976 @Your Mom 2,050 @Rimbo 1,056 @Telegraph_it 1,117 @danhorn111 980 @Dbeasy 52 Three of us made it (at least according to spreadsheet and quickly scanning the thread). The rest of us made it as far as we could for our own various reasons and there's a lot to be said for even making the effort. Personally, in hindsight, I'm beginning to believe that it was good fortune that I broke my toe in late August because my shoulders are now fucking killing me sometimes, especially after sleeping on my side. But dropping the daily exercise (plus once school started, and then again when the weather here in Chicago turned cold, the Doomlet and I have spent less and less time walking around doing PokΓ©mon Go together). But it felt great to be that slim - was down 30 lbs. on a few different days. I ended up losing 17.5 lbs. compared to my weight on January 1st, 2023 - 192.9 to 175.4. I kind of viewed everything from Halloween through New Year's as being fair game in terms of what I ate, plus I had a lot of work travel which is generally either eating lavish and decadent or else rushed and shitty/unhealthy. I am definitely uncomfortable right now compared to being even five pounds lighter, which shouldn't take me too long to achieve. I'm aiming to stay between 165 and 170, and will probably find myself on the upper side that range more often than the lower... My year: I need to find something to replace my daily burpees. I am lazy as shit and not a natural exerciser - the two times I've done this burpee challenge are all that I've routinely exercised in years. Maybe 10,000 situps? Thanks to all for joining me - I wouldn't have kept at it without the accountability and tracking that you all provided - especially @Rimbo for creating the spreadsheet!
  20. Adjust your sensors, you overcautious little asshole.
