Do you pursue them still?

You might want to rethink how you "pursue" them. Talking to them directly is probably useless. Give them a warning that you will go public all over social media about this person not paying you back your money. You can take this further by contacting their family, workplace, landlord etc. I'm not telling you what to do, just saying how you could take this further, if you really want your money.

Good combo

Yeah, that would have been perfect!

Made a loaf of "no knead dark bread" last night, which I baked this morning. Let it cool down for 30 minutes and then made some "avocado-tomato-garlic bread". What do you think?

Making the bread took literally less than 60 seconds. Combining the 4 ingredients (flour, salt, yeast, water) for 30 seconds till homogenous, overnight rise, folding onto itself for roughly 20 seconds, and then into the oven it went.

Bread dough:
384g of dark flour (white flour works great too)
354ml hot water
2 teaspoons of salt
0.25 teaspoon of powdered yeast
-Mixed with spatula until homogenous
-Airtight container overnight (3 hours at the very least)
-Fold edges of dough onto self
-Place in preheated (450f/232c) dutch oven (or regular ovenproof pot, if you don't have one) for 30 minutes
-Remove lid of pot/dutch oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes
-Rest for 15-30mins

Toppings:
Avocado spread: Large avocado, salt, juice from half a lime
Finely chopped cherry tomatoes
Pinch of salt and pepper

German. I already speak it, and myself and most of my family and friends live around here too.

I dunno, probably the same reason Zelda can't jump by pressing A in Ocarina of Time. What a stupid game.

Born in 1989, first console was indeed a NES. Got it in 1994 with, I shit you not, 34 games. My brother and I felt like a foxes in a hen house.

JFC I hate it when people speak with that smartass tone. Tone it the fuck down woman.

I'll do the same things I do for other services then and just wait until the whole season is out. I don't need to immediately discuss She Hulk or Stranger Things with people.

This. Just consider the "release date" being like 2 months later than the first episode and the result is the same.

Wow that is a lot of hair! This is mine after 16 months, quite a bit, but yours has a lot more!

Relaxing 90% of the time. I think stressful is the wrong term for the 10%, "annoying" is more appropriate.

I used to have one, but I gave it away. I'm trying to keep as few kitchen gadgets as possible, and making it in a pot only requires you to do one additional step by hand.

Unfortunately yes. First daughter born in 2018, second in 2020. I have a window of 2-3 hours after they go to bed, but usually I browse the internet or watch youtube videos during that time. I do have phases where I play more, but right now isn't one of them.

I make a point of watching Ikiru (1952) at least once a year, just to prove that I can even have emotions.

Such a good film!

Funny I recall him being heavily involved all the way up to the end of the show. Apparently Dan and David were also the only ones who knew the ending he had envisioned and tried to stay as close to the vision as possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if GRRM is lying about his involvement from seasons 5 and onwards to keep interest in his next novel high.

God damn, every single one I watched I cringed and asked myself "why am I watching this?", but still kept clicking to see the next one.

I'd say 8. I have 2 young daughters, so I try to cook as healthy as I can for their sake. Before I had them it was a 5 or a 6.

Bloodstained, you can play as Zangetsu after completing the game as Miriam.

Death Proof is the one I would rate lowest, but it still gets a 7/10 which speaks volumes for him as a filmmaker.

Countries need to fucking stand up to China man instead of fear of being blackballed by China.. this is ridiculous China is bullying so many countries into submission.

Problem is that China has an insane amount of leverage over these companies. If they don't apologize for calling Taiwan a country, it risks their product being banned in China, which means that almost 20% of their potential sales in the world will be gone. That will mean countless jobs lost for said company.

As much as I hate China's policy on Taiwan, it makes complete sense to me why people like John Cena or any company apologizes for something as stupid as calling Taiwan a country (which it clearly is, btw!).

God Tucker Carlson is such a disgusting turd. It's so pathetic how 80% of what he says are just stupid questions. "That's Jon Stewart?" "The famous Jon Stewart?" "Was he always that short?" "What happened?".

Still salty that your show got cancelled because of being around him for a couple of minutes?

Suck it up ****er Carlson.

First one I ever played was Final Fantasy 1. I was 5 years old so I didn't get very far. First one I completed was Pokemon red, and FF7 shortly thereafter.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

"Woistersheer sauce"

They have almost 30% market share in the Swiss watch industry. Omega is a distant second with 7.5%. To answer your question, no, there is not more famous watch brand.

I'm the type of guy who cheaps out with certain things, but spends a lot of money on other things. Honestly on an average day, every piece of clothing I'm wearing will cost less than $40-50 combined. Maybe $90 tops if you count the shoes. My watch often costs 100-200x more than everything I'm wearing, and sometimes 3-4x more than my car costs.

So yeah. Spending money is great, just need to know where...

Breh ur amazing. Chrono24 is a reliable website?

Also a gold watch would only be worn with a suit so it would be worn maybe a few times a year.

I've bought many high end watches there up to 5 figures worth. All other watch sites like crown and caliber, watchbox, Bucherer pre owned etc. are all also on Chrono24. Chrono24 is the benchmark for buying watches online, I highly recommend it.

Dan_Haren- posted...

Thanks for the detailed post. Quick question, any reason anyone would specifically want a swiss brand? I'm actually leaning towards Tissot and Hamilton myself. I just happen to love their style.

Right now all I have is a brown leather Skagen. I really this one Tissot brown leather that I posted about a few weeks ago but was hesitant because I didn't know much about the brand.

I'm also looking for a gold band/dial watch to wear with a navy suit.

There can be many reasons someone would buy a Swiss brand. Reasons usually vary from prestige, history, reliability, recognition, exclusivity etc.

I personally would look at all brands including German and Japanese brands, especially at the price range you mentioned. Go for a Swiss watch if the design and craftsmanship of the respective watch speaks to you. Buying a watch these days is hardly a rational decision, so I highly recommend you try the watch on and go with your gut. If there's a dealer near you where you can try the watch on, then do that. If there isn't a dealer, then buy your watch on chrono24. There is a 2 week no questions asked return period if you end up thinking the watch doesn't look good in person. The Swiss dominate the industry but that doesn't mean they are always the best choice. Having said that, Tissot and Hamilton are both very good choices.

Be careful when looking at gold watches, as the cheaper ones (within the price range you mentioned) will be gold plated. Gold plated watches are a poor choice because after years of micro scratches, the plating will wear off and the watch case & bracelet will look bad. If you're really keen on a gold watch, then look into bronze. The listing below is an Oris (great Swiss brand, privately held) for about a grand with shipping. Brown / black calf straps will look killer on this watch, might be something to consider!

https://www.chrono24.com/oris/big-crown-pointer-date--id24176526.htm

Something else to consider: Look into vintage watches! For the price range you mentioned, there are some incredible deals to be had. Value wise they have been climbing like crazy in the last couple of years. You can get an Omega time only or time & date with a mechanical movement for less than a grand (see below). They are still undervalued and will last you a lifetime. Buy a nice new calf leather strap for $50 and the watch will look incredible.

Price range $200 - $1000

What kind of watch are you looking for? Analog or digital? If you're looking into digital then Casio G-Shock is your best bet. For analog, keep reading.

In terms of value Seiko dominates this price range. Look into the Seiko Prospex line of watches. They range from $500-1000 and house the 6R35 movement, which is a very reliable movement, 3 days power reserve, hacking seconds (seconds hand stops when crown is pulled out), automatic movement with a manual wind function as well.

If you're looking at $200-500, check their Sports line "Seiko 5 Sports". These have a cheaper movement with a 40 hour power reserve. Definitely some cool designs to choose from.

Citizen JUST released their Tsuyosa line of watches a few days ago. They are fantastic watches with insane value, however the design is a ripoff of the following Rolex models: Oysterquartz, Datejust, President, Oyster Perpetual. If you don't mind them looking like a Rolex, then you won't be disappointed as they punch well above their weight in terms of case & bracelet finishing, movement quality as well as dial quality.

If you're looking for something from a Swiss brand, Hamilton and Tissot are excellent value as well in this category. Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic (Swiss ETA movement) can be had for under $500. The Tissot PRX houses the Swatch Group's 80 hour power reserve movement and has a very cool integrated bracelet design.

If you want my 2 cents, avoid watch brands like Fossil, Michael Kors, MVMT, Daniel Wellington, Calvin Klein etc. they are pretty bad value wise. These are what you would classify as fashion watches. They are made to look good, but in terms of quality are quite poor.

My wife and I watched it last night. It was a pretty mindless albeit fun action movie, did not expect more or less from it.

This is too disgusting. I can't look at it without gagging.

It's 13:27 now, but I've been up since 8am since my daughters woke up then (they're 2 and 3), and when they wake up, we wake up. No way around it!

just replay minish cap, the best 2d zelda

It's on my to-play list. I don't think I've ever heard anything negative about this game. Once I'm done with Elden Ring it's either Skyward Sword or Minish Cap.

Ngl I'm pretty stoked!

21 for music, 0 for money.

Damn CE. Something we agree on.

Very few things make me cringe harder than someone trying to get away with a stupid lie that's painfully obvious to everyone involved.

I say good riddance.

Pretty sure everyone interested in the series finished it months back. It's been finished since early April...

I agree with you TC, however I think it's mostly due to the game being so big. If you're a completionist and want to see everything the game has, you're inevitably going to be overpowered. I'm a little bit bothered by this, but it technically isn't the game's fault. I'm not even trying by this point, literally just mowing down and big enemy / boss that comes at me, not even really focusing. I do love this game, but definitely not the same way I enjoy other Soulsborne games.

Which watch did he buy? Link to topic?

Just curious.

I paid twice that in 2017 for a 3 bedroom apartment in Zurich, Switzerland.

This 100%.

On normal mode it's a decent challenge, but definitely possible. It really starts getting hard from V.Hard upwards.
