    Wow, refs getting paid.

    Interestingly, I heard last night that in his writings they found in his room, he was upset about the increased acceptance of trans people among other things. Seeing his photo and knowing that, as well as hearing about what appears to be two horrific parents, it's an interesting dynamic. A loving home and supportive family who was willing to get the mental help he needed would have likely prevented this. Instead, his dad gave him a gun. I'm not going to speculate beyond that.

    This sucks. I didn't own one but they were one of the early brands and I've never heard anything but good things. The microbrand space is incredibly crowded now. I bet we see a lot of them start to fade away in the next few years.

    That 4 iron into the par 3 immediately after the shank was absolutely nuts.

    Even better is that it's because he talks like a black person and black people have a culture of being awestruck by magic tricks (read: dumb). And being stoners. It's fucking amazing to read.

    Makes sense and I'll give it a try. Using the Tetsu method the water is 93C initially then reduced to 73C. Seems that may not be the best method here to extract some of the other flavors. Thank you!

    Looks like they are one step from replacing the W in Wiggy with an N. JC these people are fucking amazing.

    And then there's this.

    The anti-fatrick. Good on him and he visited 7 of the last 9 holes so I like to think the golf gods smiled on him. He was knocking everything about 3 feet coming in.

    This girl in the women's tournament has birdied the first 7 holes. Not a bad start. 54 alert.

    I don't think I've ever used the term goober, at least not since I was about 9 years old. But it really is the best term for aggies.

    I am so looking forward to the NDAgDad post talking about how he went to Notre Dame but he couldn't understand why his daughter decided to go to Texas A&M. Now he gets it and wishes he had gone to A&M too instead of ND after witnessing the most amazing atmosphere unlike anything else in the history of college football. Tradition far exceeding that of any school, including his alma mater. The friendliest people who saved the family from a burning car and drove them to the stadium and then took the family dog to the best veterinary school in the world to save it from terminal cancer. It's time to soothe the BAS pain with a good old fashioned "We're just better people post." I imagine Liucci is drafting it right now. Calm the masses Liucci, it's time to calm and distract the masses. They are restless.

    I came from a Ninja drip coffee maker. It was fine. But then I tried the Tetsu method and it was night and day difference in being able to actually discern the different flavors. And for a little more than $100 total, mostly the kettle. Plus making a single cup at a time slows my coffee intake. Update, I tried a finer grind and it helped but still not very good. I just don't know if it is I just don't like their coffee or if I just caught them on a bad roasting day. I'm leaning towards I just don't like their coffee because all three have the same tart flavor that dominates and no other flavors come through so who knows.

    Agreed, he hasn't completely nailed it but he had the idea and Mark (Long Island) is trying to steal the idea. People seem to like him, but there's no denying he steals designs and ideas which I think is shitty and unoriginal.l

    I recently picked up the different beans from Onyx which I was excited to try. All three basically taste tart. I didn't get any of the coffee flavors. I don't typically like real fruity cups , leaning towards chocolate/caramel flavors. I know Onyx typically roast lighter than they are designated, e.g. two of the ones I ordered are "dark" roasts and one is a medium. None of them is even close to dark roast. More of a light/light medium. They don't taste like a light roast though, they taste tart. I use the Tetsu pour over method someone mentioned above and I love how much flavor it pulls out of the coffee...game changer. Hasn't helped with these though. I've heard a finer grind might help, so I'm about to try that. Any other suggestions?

    Collaboration aside, the Moser Perpetual Calendar is fucking amazing.
  17. HoustonHorn
    It's gimmicky and I don't like it. I love Moser and they do a lot of collaborations with unlikely brands. They should have passed on this. My Pioneer.

    He seems like a nice guy but he's absolutely ripping this idea off. Just like most of his designs are ripoffs. Not a fan. Here's the UT playoff watch. This guy started doing these a few years ago and is now getting agreements in place with schools and with the college football playoff.

    No idea on your putter, but I played Hancock a ton back in the 80s. Head Pro was a really big guy that used to ride around on his cart. I don't think it was your guy. I believe Steve Darby was his name.

    I really like Farer. This is a great looking watch.
  21. HoustonHorn
    I wasn't aware of the etymology, that's interesting. The straps are incredibly well made. Not cheap but for nice watches it's definitely nice to have a well made strap.

    New Cedric Bellon CB01 Small Seconds Titanium Strap by Montreux Straps and it's fantastic. FKM Rubber and way cheaper than alot of other brands. Horus charges a couple hundred dollars and these are $45. I actually like them more... Slight thinner and more pliable and more comfortable. Still really well made. I have the normal size and it is almost too big for my 7" wrist.

    A couple new straps from The Veblenist for the Nicholas Hacko MKII. Great quality of your looking to upgrade. Howard makes some amazing straps.

    Anyone looking for a nicely done chronograph which also has a dual time inner rotating bezel, these are really nicely done for $325. Quite a few different color options. Meca-quartz movement. Bracelet may be a little extra but so under $400.
  25. HoustonHorn
    I haven't ever actually seen one in person. I've heard decent things. I can ask around. Are you only looking at quartz?
