If this has to happen, hopefully they keep someone in reserve to take over if the AI just can't figure it out. Wonder how well it can understand other languages. It'd actually be pretty neat if there were a bunch programmed in and possibly overcome a language barrier.

Is there just one unified server yet or nah?

Halo 3: ODST

It's okay.

Nice

Good hiss

It'll be fun to watching the board turn to dust I guess.

It's decent. Workplace recently got an air fryer for the breakroom and it's amazing how much better LC pizza is reheated in that. I know that's generally true for most reheated food but it's especially true for LC.

5 people in custody? What the actual hell.

I thought the only way to get rid of those was with freezing.

Or is that warts?

Barely 20%.

Think you're seeing an illusion from the shadow on the date window. Either way I check all my watches for function and finish before taking off the protective film. It'd be a pretty simple replacement.

On their website the metal bracelet is adding another 100 dollars to the price, though honestly I'm debating doing that. That way I can just buy a leather strap later and have both. And I'm not really a fan of the day/date version, if we're talking about the same one where the day/date is displayed at 12 o'clock.

Which Hamilton exactly? I have one , day and date?

Just their field watch to start with. Simple and sturdy, no crazy frills.

aren't the swiss ones harder to try to make more accurate yourself?

That's part of the fun. Though if I buy this Hamilton Khaki Field watch I'm looking at I'll absolutely not touch anything internally until at least the warranty expires.

I want a Swiss movement next. Those Tissot Gentleman look nice, though a tad too dressy for my tastes.

That or a Hamilton.

Regular.

What's even the difference anyway?

Higher octane gas resists pre ignition, or knocking. So if a car says to use a higher octane than regular, it's a good idea for the engine's health to do so.

Conversely, putting a higher octane than recommended offers little if any benefit, besides maybe more detergents.

Plus, otherwise she's not happy.

you regulated it yourself? or went to a jeweler. Heard you can break it like that. How much was timegrapher, is that a picture of it in the above picture, ? have heard of those. Unsure of their accuracy though. Have heard you can download an app on your phone that can do it.

Regulated them myself. The machine is 150 bucks on Amazon. And it's pretty simple to adjust them, but you have to have a steady hand since the regulating pins are right above the balance spring on these movements. But basically all I do is set the time, wear it the whole day, then the next day around the same hour I set it I'll see how fast or slow it was and adjust accordingly using the timegrapher. You can do it without the machine but it might take you several days since the tiniest adjustments can throw you way off.

Smallville posted...

Did you adjust it after you bought it though, had a 4r, like almost a min off every day

Yeah, I have a timegrapher that lets me see the accuracy. None of mine were that bad, think the worst one was only about 20 seconds fast per day before I regulated it.

Yes.
*Winks with both eyes*

Got this one dialed into about 10 seconds fast per day when resting, and 1 second fast when on its side. Pretty good in my book.

Auto yes, sapphire crystal but not the exhibition caseback. Honestly unless they dressed up the internals I'm kinda over my fixation on the clear casebacks. On my Presages it makes sense because of their beautiful gold rotors but all my others are just the workhorse 4R caliber movements.

Starting to appreciate the dials more anyways.

citizen may have overtaken seiko in sales and popularity. Their revenues has surpassed seikos for yrs

Hm true, Citizen has been stepping up as of late. There's a diver they make that I'm interested in but I don't have the room for it yet.

I'd say Rolex/Casio for people not into watches, and Seiko/Casio for people into watches. Seiko is IMO a good place to start for mechanical pieces, to feel out what you like/how deep you want to dive into the world for not too much cash. The majority of my mechanical pieces are Seiko, or have Seiko movements inside, and are acting as the springboard towards regulating, servicing, and potentially building and modding my own.

why dont you run optics? Any particular reason?

I plan on getting an optic cut slide for the G17, eventually. For the carry gun, I dunno. I'll feel it out on the full sized first, then go from there.

Glock 19 acquired, pictured with one of the unfortunate 10 round mags it was forced to be sold with.

This photo taken by my trusty potato shows the upgraded sights. Big yellow dot up front which you line up with the U-notch in the back. The pistol I rented had these and immediately liked how easy it was to line up when shooting, so I snagged a set for mine.

Overall I'm pretty happy. The full-sized Glock17 I have would be too cumbersome to carry, and the 43x I had was just too small.

Next step is getting some non-restricted magazines. Which is hopefully soon, as there's rumor a judge will put an injunction on the mag ban as early as tomorrow.

aren't guns like way bigger on this site than among americans , the national avg? for sure it's bigger than watches. I like watches though.

Oh yeah CE loves guns here.

Sufferedphoenix posted...

It does. I had a can of old ass .22s and it was like every third one wouldn't fire. Think it's moisture in the air overtime working its way in.

In all fairness .22 is already pretty moody when it comes to reliability. Best thing to do is buy containers with sealing lids and toss desiccant packets in with the ammo.

Got mine coming on the 28th. I'll post pics here or just make my own topic. You keeping the stock sights on yours?

A lot of folks both here and irl would tag me as the "muh freedums" kinda guy, and during the pandemic it truly saddened me to see so many turn off their brains and come up with any excuse to not cover up their damn mouth.

Like, no Sandra; you're not being patriotic by giving me and my family members a virus.

You should get a G-Shock next. Great watches.

GranTurismo posted...

was this like 545 total, taxes everything? iirc the 19 is an older model, idk, great improvements in glocks in 10 yrs or so, a prev model should be still great? Also aren't you also the user with those few , seiko automatics? i like watches too

They update the models from time to time, calling them "generations." This is the gen 5, the most recent model. And yeah I'm the Seiko watch guy.

That'd be a total ripoff territory, unless it comes with a ton of extras. I paid $545 for my 19 last week.

I'm on a mechanical watch fix right now, but I'd wear that watch to work and stuff.

Ah, kinda. I'd say it's about upper middle of the pack in terms of pricing.

Good stuff. I recently traded my 43x for a 19, just have to wait until the 28th to pick it up. Had the shop order me in a holster and install some better sights as well. The 43x was nice but getting two hands on such a small grip wasn't panning out. I have a 17 but I don't like carrying full sized guns, let alone a full sized pistol with a light as well. Too big and heavy for practical concealment.

That Superbowl bet topic was funny a couple years back.

Otherwise you've all been pretty forgettable.

Does Robocop even have wireless?
That means that you either need physical access to him or hack any device that he uses in order to hack him.

This is what I was going to ask. If his programming is all self-contained hacking doesn't mean shit.

We're our own worst critics. You're doing great.
