Got another DNF this weekend, I wasn’t mentally (my mind wandering everywhere) nor physically (sluggish and sleepy) in the race, got to the half and when I thought about doing the same thing for another 7:00 hours I dropped, wasn’t enjoying it at all. I think my taper was too long, I didn't like the course/organization and then other stuff/life got into my head and that was it, felt done with #Running in general. #TrailRunning#UltraRunning
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
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
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. #StarWars#Poll
@WTL The order they were released 🤷. Hardcore fans are the ones with a lot of opinions on this but at the same time are the ones who actually watched them in this order, which is very funny. 😂
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 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
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.
@film_girl It’s my preferred way to listen to music so it's even worst that it sucks so much. The thing that really gets me is when it decides to mess with metadata, just why?? 💔
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 😅 #watches#watchesofmastodon
That was tough but I'm finally a 100k finisher! Went very conservative with food variety because of what happened last time and got bored quickly, I'll change that, kept much more hydrated and at a lower intensity almost ran the whole way. #Running#TrailRunning#UltraRunning#DesertRats
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.
@gisiger I was thinking about the target audience and just have no clue who might be it, the mod community usually seeks way more options, and at this price point, someone might be more inclined for that money to be spent on the quality of the watch rather than interchangeable parts. Certina might be having some success with the DS+, they're still selling.
@Artemis201 Wow, thank you for all the detailed and thorough information 🫶, I'll definitely check these places out. Hadn't considered skiing nor snowshoeing but both sound very nice.
