I mean come on, Enco, let’s snap out of it!

I’m feeling a bit of reversed Fair and Balanced now. Apologies if I’ve posted this before. Plus, it’s from 30 years ago, if you can believe it! This is genuine “woke” history, right? Before the movement was culturally disappropriated, e.g. by “All Lives Matter”.

I just watched their whole Teatro concert. (Unseen please tell me if you already dropped this link into the thread.)

I tortured myself going through a dozen or so reaction videos on American Flags, trying to see if anyone found satire or humor in it, like they see in Black & White. The thing about flags, with me, is that the last time everyone was waving them in huge numbers was in the rah rah, “never forget 911” stages of invading Iraq, eventually destroying…[Read more]

Good one. Wow, the video’s been up for four years?

Disasters, scandals, coverups, oh my!

Any suggestions? Just Defund Ukraine?

Just defund all government?

@Unseen, I also should have recalled something else that Amazon does to rip people off, which may explain why your search came up with the wrong model. Amazon’s search has been increasingly useless, and to me, seemingly for the purpose of getting people to buy what Amazon wants you to b…[Read more]

Look here on Amazon. Current Amazon price $140.

I should have read this before writing my previous response. Come on, that’s not even the same model.

Not to beat this to death, but to be honest, I didn’t notice until now that the good buy I found on eBay has a defective light for the display. It’d be more fair to say they’re going…[Read more]

Have you checked the current price of your watch?. Look it up and tell us what it is. I bet it’s more than my least expensive one which was about $57.

I just remember I paid about $40 for it about six years ago. But that was when I was poorer and did a lot of shopping… some number of hours.

I agree, $57 is not unreasonable to p…[Read more]

Any of my mechanical watches will keep time well enough for your transportation needs.

I believe it. Do any of them cost less than $40, or run on solar power?

Out of curiosity, is super accuracy necessary for you in some way? Is it useful or just a “thing” that you like?

It’s both.

Using public transit to go everywhere, I often have to time departures to the fraction of a minute, especially when I have to consider how fast I have to walk or run to get to a bus stop. The bus pickup tim…[Read more]

LOL, my definition of a “real watch” is one that keeps updating its accuracy, e.g. one that adjusts itself daily based on the WWVB signal transmitted from Fort Collins, CO. Such watches and some “atomic” wall and desk clocks also have this feature. Of course, “atomic” is a common misnomer for timepieces using WWVB receivers, as the only atomic…[Read more]
