I think the article’s closing is interesting and debatable. Giving credit to the Apple Watch for maintaining people’s interest in a wrist watch… everyone I know that wears an Apple Watch only wears the Apple Watch. But I guess I could give the benefit of the doubt that maybe they wear nicer watches on fancy occasions.

1. Electric toothbrush. When I don’t have it with me, brushing manually is such a chore. A device performs better than I do and I embrace it.

2. Prescription glasses. I remember getting to look at a tree with improved sight, and it was wonderful.

3. Air purifier. Has really helped my allergies.

Definitely, we use the Imperial system after all.

Honestly, the lack of activity here has quelled my watch lust. But every once in a while I come across a watch ad and read more on it.

What did you enjoy about r/watches?

For me, I liked sharing in the excitement of new and seasoned collectors–but especially the newbies. Occasionally there were cool back stories, and even people getting their small collection stolen and the community pitching in a variety of watches to get them started again. Although sometimes obnoxious, the circle jerk was amusing to have around.

Maybe I’ll figuratively get off my butt and post my 3 watch collection.

This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I came across a tennis-themes Timex Snoopy. I was seriously looking into it, but the Marlin base was crap quality according to reviews. So sad.

I’m putting myself in your shoes, like do I need it? No. But it’s neat! Bonus points to Seiko for the watch box looking like a Poke ball. Really cool purchase.

Incomplete sentences make it difficult, such as the OP.

Your example is great:

• Me jumped in the pool.
• I jumped in the pool.

The second sentence is correct, so you would go with, “My twin and I jumped in the pool.”

Similar example:

• The rain got me and my twin soaking wet.
• The rain got my twin and I soaking wet.

Simplify them:

• The rain got me soaking wet.
• The rain got I soaking wet.

The first sentence is correct, so go with, “The rain got me and my twin soaking wet.”

“Pricing for Paxlovid is based on the value it provides to patients, providers and health care systems DEEZNUTS," the drugmaker said.

Studies show that 100% of people who injected high doses of bleach didn’t die of COVID. Checkmate, jabbers.

Gorgeous watch

I don’t even remember :(

College freshman flying back home for the summer. Not used to flying. Got to my gate about half hour before boarding. Hungry. Went to closest restaurant a couple gates away, got a burrito and ate at a table while listening to music with headphones. Lost track of time. That burrito had my full attention. Missed all the overhead calls for me. Plane had departed by the time I casually walked back to my gate.

Ruth’s Chris. Best ribeye I’ve ever had at a chain restaurant. Also the most expensive. It’s the only restaurant ribeye that has never disappointed me.

I always catch myself about to abbreviate it DTF, and then I type out the entire name.

I clicked just to see. You’re absolutely right.

Congratulations on the promo and treat-yo-self gift!

Alright, I’ll come clean, I sang that out loud.

Oops totally forgot to say why I like Yama-Budo. I think it’s really striking, which makes it refreshing to look at compared to my daily black, blue, and red ballpoints at work.

Big fan of Iroshizuku inks. My favorite is Yama-Budo.

Fun mixing recipe from u/migo984: make a faux Lamy Dark Lilac by mixing 3 parts Yama-Budo with 1 part Shin-Kai.

If you ever need a waterproof ink, check out Sailor Seiboku. It’s described as blue-black but looks more like a dark teal. It’s the only bottle of ink I’ve bought more than once—I like trying different inks—but that’s because I need something that’s more permanent for work.
