Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:My wife and I didn't live together first. What's the big deal? I just find it bizarre. Living with a spouse is an adjustment and I found it a strain on the relationship for a bit. Our habits were so different that we struggled for a bit. There's still things that we haven't worked out. After I make dinner, he wants to put everything away before we even eat. I just made dinner and I am hungry, I want to eat it and then put away the leftovers and clean up. Like what if you get married and then the other person comes and takes a poo poo while you're in the shower, chatting with you all the while? deal. breaker.

I just made dinner and I am hungry, I want to eat it and then put away the leftovers and clean up. Fair enough. But the way I see it, the whole endeavor can only succeed with compromise anyway. I think if the rest of the elements are there, you will adapt. It's just a matter of whether that happens before or after you get married. A lot of the stuff that bothers people when living together are inconsequential pet peeves, but those will always be there. I've been married 17 years, and I still find new things to be irritated about. That just happens when you're in close proximity with anyone for an extended period of time. Also, if your partner insists on making GBS threads while you shower, well your relationship probably also has other issues.

Sappo569 posted:I tried to find reviews on this, or even information on what it does aside from 'stuff' It's amazing how terrible Google's marketing is. The basic explanation is it's a watch with unlimited face design choices that also allows you to view/dismiss phone notifications and use Google Now/voice dictation from your wrist. Or at least that's how I use it. It also takes your heartrate/counts steps but I consider those just gimmicks. It's not supposed to be a phone replacement or revolutionary new gadget or get filled with apps like a phone, though some people try and you can do stuff like buy from Amazon on it. This is the best video I've found, but my watch is the first to have the next update so it's a bit out of date itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RDd2TIKdiw Basically, don't overthink it. It's a watch that shows the same notifications that you get on your phone and has its own microphone. If you want more than that you'll be disappointed. It fits some people's lifestyles and not others, much like a tablet. I've never owned a tablet and this is my fifth smart watch.

LUBE UP YOUR BUTT posted:So jelly, that's my dream watch. Silver body/black face moonwatch variant though. Omega does pretty much the same increases. 3-7 % every year, sometimes every second year. In 10 years you can be sure it will be 40 % more unless Smartwatches really manage to produce a second Quartz-crisis. This one should be about 9k (if it is the Dark Side of the Moon edition) or 6k if it isn't (substantial discounts are possible of course).

It doesn't help that the used watch market ensures that the prices maintain even for watches 10 years old

My wife does this poo poo and I hate it. When I cook something I want to eat it while it is hot. We don't have animals or anything that is going to get into the food while it sits out on the stove for 15 minutes.

Eh, I'm in the "clean up immediately after cooking before eating" camp. I figure that I'll be in a food coma after my meal, and the time to quickly put stuff in the dishwasher/wipe the kitchen down gives my food time to rest. This comes in handy when cooking meat, where if you don't rest the food you get all the juices squirting out. Not purchased yet, but debating whether to get the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight on PPV at my own place for $100 with a couple friends or go to a bar that's got a $30 cover. Actual purchases:

Not to mention it's a lot easier/quicker to clean up while everything is still fresh/hot/whatever, before the food has time to dry and stick to everything.

I bought Shadow of Mordor in the Steam sale this weekend and I am loving it. I'm also pro cleaning dishes prior to dinner. It's easier to clean and after cooking I usually just want to get out of the kitchen.

It's a pretty big discount compared to buying new, that's for sure. We've had the same Aerons at work for the past ten years, and they seem like the only thing in the building that hasn't had to be refurbished in that time.

We've had the same Aerons at work for the past ten years, and they seem like the only thing in the building that hasn't had to be refurbished in that time. Had them at one job and they were all broken in one way or another and uncomfortable as all hell. Nobody liked them and they eventually got replaced. The plastic bar across the bottom at the front digs into your legs and after prolonged sitting really start to hurt. I also like to sit on one leg and you cant do that in those chairs.
