  1. THAT is some seriously fucked up shit. What company in this country is slow right now ? The economy while seeing inflation has been going strong. I'd be lawyerdogging up. Whatever you do, don't be complacent, find something to keep you busy in the mean time.
  2. Their loved ones can now breath a sigh of relief.
  3. One of my all time favorite ads.
  4. Based on that propaganda piece it does meet the threshold, my fault for thinking otherwise, and it still doesn't matter one bit as the victims are still all dead. So, I don't care what you call it, in the end it's straight up murder.
  5. Well yeah, it's going to make a difference in the nature of the charges in the Hague when they hold a trial with Putin in absentia. And yes, Russia is and should be a pariah state if they don't get rid of Putin.
  6. Straight up murder. I think based on the definition of genocide I just googled it can be called genocide, but I'd say that wasn't Russias intent. Is it Russias intent to wipe out the Ukranian population or just use these murders as a terror tactic ? I'd say it's more a terrorist act rather than straight up genocide. In the end those people are still dead however, so it's all academic.
  7. From an academic, water cooler discussion maybe, but those folks are dead regardless of how we label their deaths. I don't think it changes anything about the fact they were murdered.
  8. Who cares if it's genocide or not (it doesn't really meet the definition of genocide for a few reasons). It's the intentional murder of the civilian population of a sovereign state by an invading army for the purposes of subjugation, and terror. It's not a damned bit better than genocide, just ask the victims.
  9. So porn to you could be seeing a room filled with watch makers fabricating, and polishing, and assembling watches ... over and over and over ?? Yeah, all of your comments hit home about the process, and the incredible accuracy that can be achieved thru those beautifully engineered, and handcrafted components. When I see a watch with a design I dig, and then see "quartz movement", it's like seeing what you think is a hot chick then noticing an Adams apple, and unusual crotch bulge.
  10. Yep, watch buying is an addiction, and not that long ago buying a watch (most brands that is) for investment purposes was snickered at by the other addicts. I don't like quartz watches at all, kind of negates a major component of what really makes a watch something special.
  11. Heheh, Well yeah, but how did it happen ?
  12. Accepted by W&M, and UVA, but not by VT ? Unless she's engineering or architecture, that don't make no sense.
  13. Him Jim'ed, what nasty stuff are you referring to ? THC is pretty much what reefer addicts want in their smoke. Love the whole safety angle you got going on there. I mean seriously a CDL driver throwing a few cold PBR's back at the local choke, and puke truck stop for sure isn't dangerous when they hit the road after popping a few adderall to keep em awake....
  14. That's just silly, and ludicrous, where is a snek gonna put $2.00 ?
  15. It's a damn good thing we've invited the baltic and eastern euro nations into NATO, otherwise we're have a much bigger shit show with Putin than we do now. He is only corralled by the knowledge he can't take on NATO directly. That Chicago prof. whose a smart man of course..... his conclusions are all wrong, Putin acted stupidly......
  16. To piggy back on your post. I've always loved watches. I mean from a little Kid I was fascinated by watches. I still remember to this day smashing my navy blue, diver watch against a brick hearth when the Cowboys lost to Pittsburgh in their first Super Bowl meeting, and immediately being more upset that I'd done that than the Cowboys losing (I was 12 or so). I consider my first real watch to be an F1 I bought in St. Barts back around 1992, still sits in my case, but it's small 38mm so it gets very little wrist time. I gravitate to Divers, Pilots, and those unique, sportier, dressy watches (GO, and IWC are grail brands for me, in that I can afford to buy those). Pateks, VC's, etc. are amazing, but I know I won't have that kind of disposable income for a watch (even as an investment). I've had six Sinn, but have sold or given away (my immaculately clean, 103 UTC to my son last year) all but my U2 which is among my favorite watches. I've been an Hublot fan since they first came out with their electric, cobalt, rubber strap, quartz (they've jumped the shark now in my opinion). I still have my Super B, and my first generation Big Bang (another of my never will sell watches). I really dig the engineering, and multiple materials mixed together on a rubber deployment strap. I collected Choppard Mille Miglias for a while, but have sold all those off. I've been focusing on lesser known brands since the 2008 melt down, and try to wear them all in a general monthly rotation of about 15 different watches. I'll be buying a GO sometime in the next year our so, once I settle on the example I think best captures their design philosophy, and my budget. Beyond that I want an IWC Port-o- geezy.
  17. That's his MO, jump in on a group of exchanges where he hasn't even been following it to call you out when his little cabal buddy probably was the original OP about something he tries to criticize you for. It's the circle the wagons cabal move 102.4.5.a (the old asking you if you still beat your wife trick).
  18. Virginia Classic Mustang sells a genuine wood wheel for less than $400 I believe. You can get a mustang, GT or Shelby center cap I think. There are a cookie pother suppliers out there as well I believe.
  19. Yep I have a wood grain wheel wanna get a real wood wheel.
  20. You want a stated value policy. So you can insure it for more than the blue book on a 19xx mustang, which is probably like $500.
