I've been to a lot of concerts where the audio is so loud, some instruments didn't even need to show up. It'd kinda weird. I have seen zero consistency in this regard.

To me, though, the show experience is worth it....sometimes. A lot of my favorite bands are a little more obscure, but the shows are awesome because they aren't in a stadium. They are on a stage, fairly among the people. A band like Bad Religion can draw a decent crowd, but the show is generally more intimate. If you want to be in the front row, feet from the musicians, just stand in line a few hours before the show or be an asshole and force your way up there as the lights dim for the opener. Same price either way. To me this kind of experience is worth technical sound issues. A lot of these concerts tend to just be noise, and I do not know why.

I see a blind guy on the sidewalk, with his hand raised, I suppose to signal he needs help crossing the street. I go over and ask if he needs help, and he does, so he very gently grabs my arm. I try to grab him a little harder to make sure he follows me, and he yells at me "YOU DONT GRAB LIKE THAT"

Which, I do understand I should have asked first. I get it...But then I tried to apologize profusely because I didn't mean to upset the guy, and he yelled at me for that too.

This may sound rude, but I don't care. If I see this guy standing on the sidewalk with his hand raised again, I am not going to help him.

That's the closest I can find. This is a late 1940's Omega Seamster Cosmic.

This is a very complicated watch. In addition to the seconds subdial, it is an annual calendar. The day of the week and the month are in the center, while a fourth hand shows the day of the month on the outer ring. Damn, this thing switches over at precisely 11:55PM(most mechanical watches do not change date at exactly midnight), and that day of the month hand jumps quick.

This man's grandfather, a doctor from Ohio who got paid in chickens during the great depression, was rocking one hell of an annual calendar on his wrist back in the day.

This is a common thing on automatic watches with a date wheel. My Hamilton advises also to not do this in the manual. Most watch manuals should say similar.

12/06/21 7:55:51 PM

Okay, the date thing is true and can be problematic. Basically, the wheel rotates to change the date when it is time slowly, so when it is engaged, usually from 9PM to 3AM, quick setting the date can harm it.

All you need to know is if the hour hand is pointing down, it is okay to set the date quickly. If not, just turn the crown to set the date slowly and then set the time.

Really, the best way to set the time and date to avoid any problems is to turn the hands so the hour hand is in the bottom half of the thing, quick change to two days before the current date, and then manually turn the crown to get it exact from there on.

I hope I explained that properly...

I own a lot of watches myself(it is a passion, after all), but a lot are cheaper digital watches and quartz and some "toy" watches from the Vannen company, but I do own a nice Hamilton Viewmatic auto

https://www.watchnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/153369352.jpg

Picked it up a year ago for 550. It has everything the watch in the OP has except it has a 50M WR, not 200. So outside of washing my hands it doesn't get wet.

Dial looks better in person. It's a great watch. There is something to owning an automatic you don't get with quartz or phones...there is a personal connection to it because you are the power source.

TopicWorst Stadium names? Best?
argonautweakend
11/17/21 8:39:14 PM

My thoughts on corporate names is I do not like them, but in general they can be okay...

Corporate names that do not sound absolutely stupid(like, crypto.com field, guaranteed rate field, etc) aren't my favorite, but some are alright like these MLB examples

  • American Family Field(kinda hokey but reminds me of when stadiums were called "Veterans Field, or Soldier Field" and stuff like that
  • Chase Field
  • Citi Field
  • Target Field
  • Oracle Park
So, these are sponsored names, but just the name in general isn't horrible. Citizens Bank Ballpark isn't the worst, but it is clearly an ad, moreso than these, by directly mentioning it's business in the name.

Then, some that have sponsored names but they've been that way for a while and the company has city history are alright

Miller Park
Coors Field
Busch Stadium
Wrigley Field

It's just, the ones like
Gauranteed Rate
LoanDepot Park
Minute Maid Park
Ring Central Stadium
Petco Park
T-Mobile Park
PNC Park
Truist Park
Are just so bad. Maybe they aren't all too different than the ones that are okay, but to me they just sound dumber.

Come on with that last one, though. The only way you get "Truist Park" is when SunTrust Bank and BB&T Bank merge, and call themselves "Truist" and then buys the naming rights.

My hometown park is PNC park. It IS one of, if not, the best ballparks in baseball but the name is kinda lame. It's named after a bank that was formed here long ago called the Pittsburgh National Corporation that still exists today and has many buildings in the city. But it is kinda stupid.
