@Matt Oh yeah! Hotels are the few things that haven't changed in Russia. From roadside "away from the wives" to presidential suites.))

The gift that keeps on giving.....
"As we are sure you are all aware, the developing geopolitical situation in the Middle East is having a major effect on the global energy market, which in turn is impacting the operational costs of our vessels in Indonesia. In the last week alone we have seen, not only a near 15%-20% increase in fuel costs, but also increased prices in general across our supply chains. These increased costs & supply chain challenges have seen our operational overheads surge, leaving us with little choice but to require an addition to our fuel surcharge fee."

In the Caribbean, I had basic wifi access which is great to check in to the forum to see what’s happening from time to time. It also allowed me to post the occasional picture although it seemed to take forever.
The biggest issue that I kept running into is pages with a lot of picture content and then posts that quoted those pictures. Please be mindful that all of the world doesn’t have speedy wifi and that quoting a post with lots of pictures may actually make the forum extremely slow or unusable for some. It may take me weeks to catch up on everything that I’ve missed if I ever do.
There are two button’s that you can use in response to someone’s post:
A “reply” button which autolinks to that post that you’re replying to, and a “quote” button which quotes their text including pictures. It’s better when you use the “reply” button for everyone especially when you consider slow internet speeds.

Hey, I just want to say I really appreciate the IH peeps, the moderators, and the overall community and mutual respect here. Everyone wears things differently and likes different stuff, and that’s part of what makes it good.
I spent half my day bored going back and forth with someone on Reddit, not even on a watch sub, and they were telling me I’m wearing mine wrong, which is just silly. I know some people wear them higher, that’s fine. I really don’t care how anyone wears their stuff. If you want to strap your watch around your neck like a choker, go for it. I couldn’t care less.
That’s what’s so refreshing about coming here. You don’t open the page and see a bunch of people talking crap about what you posted.
Thanks!

I FUCKING hate it when people tell you how to wear something. It has fuck all to do with them. What level of arrogance must they have to believe how they wear something is better than how you choose to? All that matters is that you feel comfortable in yourself and in your peer group. End of.
