- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 2 days ago:
I love headphones. I have quite a few very good pairs. And headphone amps. And portable headphone amps. Ive been in the hobby for about 10 years now, maybe a bit more. My hearing is still excellent (according to hearing tests I’ve had). Aside from my tinnitus, which ive had since I was a kid. Just be mindful of the volume levels.

Oh, I love the show. Especially the monster of the week episodes. They get really weird sometimes.
- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 2 weeks ago:
It’s efficiency. The subject matter is the frank n’ beans, who cares about the rest? Likewise, I would be perfectly content with receiving faceless melons flopped out of a bra.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 3 weeks ago:
I was making grits the other day. The can had instructions for 1 serving, and 4 servings. I didn’t want 1 or 4, I wanted 2. So, I wrote a quick interpolation program on my Casio. Once I ran it, I realized 2 is just double of 1.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. I will eat them in stuff, like bread.
- Comment on Banana 3 weeks ago:
Oh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Banana bread, delicious. Eating a banana plain, like an ape? Horrid.

The last thing we need is for them to develop nuclear capabilities…

Like, romantically? Or due to your activity?
- Comment on Banana 3 weeks ago:
Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.

Never. The audio equivalent of “Needs More JPEG”

Are you me?
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 3 weeks ago:
I can see somebody inquiring about the amount someone has, and if they would be willing to share any. Boom. On a list.

You’re painting that as if it is a bad thing. I’ve never understood the desire people have to be a part of a larger community.
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 4 weeks ago:
Never mind. I read some of their replies. You are correct.

No, they aren’t talking about for an interview. They are talking about going in someplace in a suit and asking for a job. My mother insisted I did this when I got out of college. It only took a few receptionists looking at me like I’m crazy to be reaffirmed that this was a dumb idea. Even places that did have openings told me to apply online.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know the difference. I pretty much live in business casual, but on the weekends I will wear a graphic tee instead of a white undershirt. Maybe I leave my button down shirt open. It’s what I would choose to wear in any instance I leave the house. I’m comfortable in my clothes.

Yeah, I gave up carrying that torch. Lol. I hoped I could jump-start it, but nobody else seems to be interested.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 month ago:
Probably around the time they need to get serviced and it costs as much as a Seiko dive watch and takes like 6 weeks.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 month ago:
I admire the engineering of the solar, tool. It’s really cool that the Eco-Drives don’t even look like they have a panel. Are the dials like, micro perforated or something? I’ve never taken one apart. And the fact that you can store them for like, 6 months and they’ll still have a charge is very nice.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 month ago:
Sure!
Here is my SKX and an Invicta Pro Diver.
SKX has new hands, dial, chapter ring, crystal, date wheel, bezel insert, and crown. And I ended up doing an NH-35 swap on the 7S26. So basically, just the case is original now.
The Pro Diver has new hands, dial, bezel, bezel insert, high domed acrylic crystal, and I ground the crown guards off.

Hell yeah! Nice collection.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 month ago:
You sure do! And I love them all. I love modding them, I love wearing them. Love learning about them. I’d say my Seagull chrono gets equal wrist time to the Breitling. I try to keep everything in rotation. Except the George Stockwell trench watch… I’m afraid it might be a touch radioactive due to the radium.

True, but they are all insured and you can always report the serial number to a database so it gets flagged if it pops up somewhere.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 month ago:
Oh, let’s not add the Seikos to the list. I have plenty of those. SKX007, SRP775, and like 5 or 6 I’ve built with Seiko NH-35 movements. I have a watch with a Seagull ST19 movement. I have some vintage ones, like a Timex Viscount and an Elgin Sportsman. But all of those are $500 and under (mostly under 200) and I don’t look at them as dumb purchases.

I hate this so much. This is identical to the slop shows my toddler has been into recently. Super Kitties, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, Paw Patrol, PJ Masks. I hate them all.
