He is probably multilingual. Seems like a smart, well-educated person.

He certainly fits here. And I think he’s just getting some perspective of his own from that angle.

Your dog is an artistic genius. Fortunately, your failure to recognize it does not seem to be discouraging her.

Why is there a question mark?

Huge Digital Clock Pro is the app I mentioned. Just bear in mind that it only does a small part of what you’re looking for.

I’d be interested in that too. I have an app that adjusts between day and night illumination levels based on the actual sunrise and sunset, but it just toggles between high and low.

Reading, In-Person Roleplaying Games, Disc Golf, and Writing.

If an app still works, it doesn’t matter whether or not it is being maintained.

I am also a Lemmy immigrant. It do miss the volume in a lot of the more specialized interests, but at least the quality is generally higher.

I’m a heathen who prefers electronic watches to mechanicals, but I enjoy looking at both. My daily drivers are a Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T Titanium Blue Angels and a Casio Pro Trek 3500T-7.

I knew that was true of new articles, but did not realize it also happened with opinion pieces like this one. Thank you for the information.

I generally agree with the content of the article, but the headline destroys its credibility. No one who might possibly have their mind changed is going to go anywhere near it.

I will admit to over-reacting. I’m just sick of watching people with something important to say undermine themselves by adopting the emotionally exploitive rhetoric of the other side.

I suppose it’s inevitable, but the amount of ridiculous propaganda being posted here by a small by a number of people is making this community both less useful and less pleasant. Bizarre conspiracy theories and hatred are not news.

Only their constituents can really impose consequences. That desperately needs to happen.

And clearly enjoying it. It’s good of you to give him one!

Both of ours have chairs too.

“Our dogs are not spoiled. They are competitively compensated for the user experience the provide.”

That is a concern, but they seem to have taken precautions to prevent that from being exploited, at least in the short term. We’ll have to see how it works out. I haven’t given up on them yet.

Startpage is a good choice. I am currently experimenting with searXNG. It seems a little messier to use, but I’m getting more relevant results and less junk.

Ah, sorry. I would start by putting something like “analog watch timer” into Amazon and see what you get. A lot of them will be wrong, but a fair number won’t be.

There should be a database for this kind of thing, but if there is, I don’t know about it.

The first two of your four objections to smartwatches don’t apply anymore, but the last two are certainly still issues. I love mine, but I don’t think they’re a good choice for a lot of people.

Here’s a link to a whole lot of Casio watches with countdown timers on Amazon. As is always the case with Amazon, some of the search results are incorrect, but the majority are fine and there are hundreds of them.

I haven’t found any way to get an equivalent listing for Seikos. A lot fewer of their watches have timers and no one seems to have a good filter for it.

Here is another Amazon link to watches with countdown timers of all brands.

Finding a used watch in good condition over the internet is tricky. There are some deals, but there are also a lot of ripoffs. eBay is about the only suggestion I have for that.

Best of luck!

I agree that it probably didn’t look that way originally, but I really like it as it is now!

I don’t know about Seiko, but you can get the Citizen capacitors replaced for a fairly reasonable charge. My wife’s Eco-Drive needed a new capacitor after about 15 years. Mine is still going strong on its first after 25 years.
