Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

I just bought my 2nd #GrandSeiko. Will talk about it and explain the choices I made once I actually get my hands on the box. The only thing I will tease is that this reference is very plain and simple, and probably not one I would have considered 3 months ago before I had owned the very fancy SBGA259/Golden Snowflake. #watches #watchesofmastodon

With #MayTheFourth coming up, I'm contemplating a Star Wars rewatch. I'm curious what order you consider is the ideal order to be watching them in.

Maybe Elon will buy Boeing next. I dunno, just spitballing here.

Honestly, support ublock origin and you can win back the Mac browser market. But the current extension model in Safari is such a terrible experience for every person involved, developers and users. https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/112360846501810807

I don’t know how controversial my opinion is but I find the modern #Rolex Air King extremely unappealing. It has lost a lot of the traits from the original looking more like a weird downgraded mix between an Explorer and a Milgauss. And it doesn’t even live up to its name anymore as its design is inspired by a car and has almost nothing to do with airplanes/pilots. #watches #watchesofmastodon

I got an opportunity to get a #Cartier Tank for an alright price, but it is the Americaine. Not my favorite. Still thinking about it but will likely pass... #watches #watchesofmastodon

Using those pesky dandelions

It is just as well that the seeds of Dandelions are so infertile!!! But having deadheaded a great number, we have enough for the first couple of batches of Dandelion ‘honey’ of the season. Goes very well with lots of things, although I love it in yoghurt and porridge.

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

Recent addition to my collection: Two-tone Datejust 36mm reference 16013 with jubilee bracelet. This one has 2 slightly unusual features:

• it still has its service stickers with reference on the back
• it has the uncommon Buckley dial and even more uncommon in cream color since most Buckley dials are usually white or blue. The irony is that it likely looks less flashy to regular people but probably stands out more in the eyes of #Rolex collectors 😅

If a picture of you is used to announce the opening of registration of next year's edition.
Achievement unlocked!

If you consider entering a 300km race, I can recommend the Northern Traverse: very well organized and amazing nature.

The Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Petite Seconde, specifically the platinum variant with an almond-green dial has to be the most beautiful #watch at #WatchesAndWonders this year. #Watches https://www.watchtime.com/featured/parmigiani-fleurier-brings-back-the-toric-at-watches-and-wonders-2024/

Panoramic view from the top of the Royal Arch trail, some light clouds rest in the back ground, the sun is shining over the city, a golden light shines above a single pine in the middle of the picture.

So, #Norqain is, for the first time, in Geneva at #Watches & Wonders. And they try what has been tried several times before, an online configurable watch model. So far, no one really succeeded at this, and I think they will fail, too. Sadly.

My personal highlight so far is the reissued #Piaget Polo Date. Very nice:

First timer review of #Running on snow as haiku:

Mountains coat

Gorgeous hike/run/bike today.
The forecast predicted 70, but I think it only got to the upper 50s so far.
#Boulder #CO #running

A similar view, but this one is looking south along the Front Range towards the Flatirons. To the right the land rises to the first peaks of the rocky mountains. To the left the land dips to the Boulder Valley and beyond it the plains. Brilliant white clouds scudd across the blue sky. Some patches of snow can be seen hidden in craigs and north-facing valleys on the mountain faces.

I know it is a bit unusual but I own a #GrandSeiko, a #Citizen and a #Casio watch yet I don’t have any #Seiko. I am going to fix that soon as I am missing a field watch in my #watches collection. Hint: I went very cheap as I intend for it to be my beater 😁. #watchesofmastodon
