Topic | I want a seiko spring drive so bad... |
argonautweakend 07/10/22 1:07:00 AM #1 | Why? Because it has a unique watch movement wherein it is a hybrid of quartz and automatic/mechanical. This results in a seconds hand that sweeps so smooth it floats on air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeEttx4zpK4 This is a gorgeous watch and that seconds hand glides man. |

Topic | Here is an epic game nobody remembers |
argonautweakend 06/21/22 12:08:15 AM #1 | July 28th, 2001. The Pirates are down by 6 to the Astros at home with two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the 9th, and they come back to win 9-8 https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PIT/PIT200107281.shtml Michael Jackson(hee hee) got 5 straight outs for Houston, but after a home run cutting their lead to just four runs, and three straight hits cutting it down to 3 he is taken out for veteran, 7x all star Billy Wagner. Billy Wagner hits Jason Kendall(a man notorious for not even attempting to move out of the way of close pitches) to load up the bases, which means... The call, as done by Lanny Frattere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urnsa8uwKnY When you're a fan of a team that isn't very good a lot of the time, you learn to savor to good moments. The Pirates went 62-100 this season, but this was pretty good. |

Topic | "If this is not allowed, feel free to delete" |
argonautweakend 06/17/22 10:57:35 AM #16 | I agree. I always look at the rules to see if my post fits. Some subs though either have no or little rules even posted, in which case I say make a judgement call and hope for the best. The flipside also makes me angry: when a post goes against the rules but it still stays. Because that's how subs turn to shit, but people get threads deleted for basic stuff like not formatting the title of a post exactly the way it should be but sometimes things blatantly against the rules stay. |

Topic | So potd, how much have YOU lost on crypto? |
argonautweakend 06/15/22 6:06:16 PM #30 | I've lost a few thousand on doge coin so far. While I'd rather not lose the money I have invested in it, it isn't my life savings so it's okay. At this point I am just going to keep it where it is and just wait. I either make something back in the future or I lose it all. edit: it started with just 1,000 I was totally okay with losing, then I felt like I didn't want to actually lose it since I bought at a bad time(40 cents), then I kept plunking more in to get my average down. I am down to an average of 21 cents. Overall not the end of the world but i do feel kinda dumb. |

argonautweakend 06/09/22 10:40:50 PM #29 | One thing that has always pissed me off is how if a coaster is too intense nobody will ride it. I'd make all these sick ass coasters and nobody would ride it. I don't know if there is some sort of trainer or cheat to make either the intensity rating lower or to make people ride it, but this has always pissed me off. |

argonautweakend 06/09/22 12:47:48 PM #27 | Yeah....though some sound interesting like Micro Park(or whatever) because they force you to be creative and play a different way, but really, when it comes to these things I just want a sandbox. |

Topic | The only rollerball refills for parker pens are black or blue |
argonautweakend 06/08/22 8:38:31 PM #7 | The ones from Monteverde I was looking at before specifically said for Parker. However, while that website has those, the dimensions on that link seem to be about the same size as my parker refill(roughly 4.5in) I hear Monteverde ink is skippy...I don't know. But the price for a two pack of those is about what one Parker refills goes for.... I might try it, though I wish I could see what the colors actually looked like, though I need to do some more digging. |
Topic | The only rollerball refills for parker pens are black or blue |
argonautweakend 06/08/22 8:26:05 PM #3 | I did! Monteverde makes a blue/black. Some say it's skippy, some say it doesn't have the exact dimensions of the Parker refill.... I don't know. I'd die for pink rollerball ink. But it ain't happening. |
Topic | The only rollerball refills for parker pens are black or blue |
argonautweakend 06/08/22 8:15:19 PM #1 | fine point or medium point. I wish they had other colors but they do not. If they have off brands that make other colors, cool, but if it's as bad a Monteverde brand,well.... |

Topic | "The Heat Death of the Universe" by Off Minor is such a good album. |
argonautweakend 06/04/22 9:28:31 PM #1 | 5 outta 5 (or 4.5 if you feel the 1:30 second filler ending track is worth a deduction) People write off "screamo" as a genre but this 22 minute album has so much emotional complexity. If you dont like screaming good luck i guess but otherwise...esch track has some notable parts. The anxiety ridden end part to "this is a hostage situation" to the entirety of the instrumental "punch for puch" to the opening of "monday morning quarterbacks" with its hauntingly jazzy intro, the quiet and emotional opening to "staring down the barrel of limited options" which doesn't hide being about suicide, to the fiery closing lyric of "never say everything is going to be okay" I'm not sure what else to say. If you like punk and can tolerate screaming vocals to any degree check it out. 9 songs in 22 minutes. You wont be let down. |

Topic | Argonaut's Casiolympics watch accuracy contest. |
argonautweakend 05/31/22 9:42:34 AM #4 | I was going to update but I was tired and was busy yesterday. There is one clear winner here. One watch was actually +/- 0 seconds. DBC-611G -3 seconds(only watch to run slow) AQ-S810W +7s F-108WHC +2s CA-53W +2s DBC-32 +3s AE-1100W +/- 0 PRW-3500 +2s I suspect the one that was dead on probably gained and lost some time overall, but that placed it in the middle...there is no way it wouldn't have gained or lost throughout a week. Even today, 1.5 days later it reads dead on with time.gov.... It doesn't make sense! This one isn't even on a strap at the moment. Maybe that is the key?

Topic | Great and/or favorite drummer topic |
argonautweakend 05/29/22 10:55:10 PM #30 | Grant Hart of Husker Du is really good, and he sings while drumming and played barefoot a lot. My favorite dummer is Damon Che of Don Caballero. Very Technical, very weird, very innovative. He plays a style of drumming that is technical but loose at the same time, and on the record "American Don" he is playing vs real bass and guitar and looped effects, but it sounds so effortless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTCc9p7bO64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbGZzPEvROc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kle9RIcllpM Other good drummers I like: Steve Lamos(American Football), John Stanier(Battles, Helmet, Tomahawk), Brendan Canty(Rites of Sping, Fugazi), You also have to give a shoutout to William Goldsmith. Most known for his work in Sunny Day Real Estate, a 90s act that inspired tons of bands. Dave Grohl picked him out to be a member of the Foo Fighters, but he only ended up doing some of the drums on the first album before being canned. |

Topic | Argonaut's Casiolympics watch accuracy contest. |
argonautweakend 05/29/22 10:30:03 PM #1 | I've got eight models of Casio digital watch I am racing against each other to see which one is most accurate and which one drifts the most.... By their hourly chimes, I can definitely tell they have drifted. What was once a symphony in unison has become more askin to popcorn kernels popping when you're near the end. They were all set to NIST(www.time.gov) on May 23rd, 2022 from 11:53 PM to 12:06AM on May 24th. MEET the contenders.... DBC-611G - Gold tone calculator watch, part of the modern vintage collection replica of one from the 80s. Very thin, on a quick size clasp bracelet. Notable features: databnk, exchange rate calculator AQ-S810W - Green, thin Tough Solar Watch. Watch did capture very faint room light, but was not kept in the sun. Will this affect accuracy? It's still on high charge, one week without much light won't hurt it, but I don't know! Notable Features: tough solar, analogue display(no seconds hand) and small digital screen. F-108WHC - A basic white style entry level Casio digital watch. It has only 3 pushers, not four like is standard. Notable Features: none CA-53W - A basic style thin Casio calculator watch. It has two side pushers, one to switch modes, the other is surface level and allows you to set it. Notable features: calulator DBC-32 - This is a more advanced calculator variety. It has datebank storage functionality and a large screen. Notable Features: exchange rate calculator, databank AE-1100W - a "world timer" with 48 time zones and a digital world map that highlights the region of the currently selected time zones. It is the round version and not the square "Casio Royale" notable features: world map, world time PRW-3500 - This watch does it all. Solar Power, Radio capable ironman with altimeter, barometer, termperature and compass, with sunset data and world time. This watch was synced up to NIST with radio signal. Everything else was hand calibrated to NIST on my computer. Notable Features: ABC, sunset data, world time, solar, radio signal Which one will win the battle? Find out in about an hour. I can tell audibly with their hourly chimes it is NOT a close race, but my ears cannot make out the Victor. |
