"The Batman" has to be the best film from the Batman saga so far.

You have to visit BLUE LUG in Tokyo for me!

@Kasi Honestly, there are some really cool donkeys.

They are among my favourite animals. But I have too many favourite animals...

@Giles said in The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread:

My attempt at making a keeper for this was a resounding failure, so I bit the bullet....

The way the lume has faded is a testament to the magnificently life this watch has had.

Oh yes, we are…

I, too, find the buying experience sometimes stressful, even though I understand the reasons behind the limited production.

I've trouble understanding why people have trouble understanding clothing like that cannot be produced like fast fashion.

No, it‘s a way smaller company.

@Indigo-Alchemist Glorious!

@tody 10k five days a week is really strong. If you simply continue you’ll be very fit. Focussing on recovery and nutrition is a great plan. I’d add one or two sessions of resistance training. Could be body weight or heavyish lifting.

I’ve mostly just been hanging about…

@tody that is great!

As I understand it, the company is in negotiations concerning restructuring over the next two weeks. Until that process is over, there won’t be any cash flow in any direction.

The stopping of any cashflow is just a temporary measure, I suppose.

But I don't read it as a good sign.

I can't go into details too much. They were working as usual, big company client stops paying. No funds, no pay check.

Absolutely unrelated to anything I've read here, I'd like to share a funny story that I've experienced working retail in a brick and mortar selling outdoor equipment.

Customer comes in and asks for a very specific water purifying device we did not carry. We had however many (from my point of view superior) options that took me a long time to lay out in front of the customer. All options were for one reason or another rejected. I then called our suppliers if there was the off chance to get the device, so that I could sell that one unit we did't regularly carry to the customer. Unfortunately the item was not available for us. All I could do was to thank the costumer for trying to shop with us before shopping on Amazon.

The customer, however, was outraged that a reputable brick and mortar did not carry such an item. After apologising for the sake of politeness, she demanded that I ordered the Item from my personal Amazon account and then sell it over our counter.

I took a break a had a cup of tea.

Actual rant:

My wife's employer just told her and all the other workforce that they won't be paying them for the foreseeable future, in fact they don't know if they'll ever be able to
As of now, she's worked the last four weeks without pay as it turns out. I should probably postpone my plans to buy any nice Good Art in the new future...

How does DD wear in terms of comfort? Similar to the 17oz type 3 Ente?

IHSH-33t (first wear 7th Feb. 2025)

I might give it another wash this weekend.

I think I'm doing the Good Art thing backwards. Instead of researching specific items, I came across different videos, interviews and podcasts with Josh Warner and now I'd really like to carry something made by this wonderful person.

@goosehd that’s why I ️ this place and I really feel welcome.
Sometimes I rebel a little against the big watch thread, since I think there are some really nice watches below a certain price point that should also have their place in that thread.

@Gavin666 You should really stay away from the watch thread .
