I work out every day, fix poo poo by hand every day and am extremely active. Watches are made to be worn and get worn in the process of your life. Except my sub. I am very careful with that lol.

But the ceramic bezel is so gorgeous in person I'd hate to damage it reefing an end shield off a pump or spinning a wrench on something.

The Daytonas and Yachtmasters gain value pretty easily so it makes sense to wear them sparingly

Subs hold their value, day dates / date just usually needs to be a limited-ish run to increase or hold really well. Milgaus lol

It’s truly maddening to me how bad people are at loading dishwashers. My biggest pet peeve though is when a person unloads a properly loaded dishwasher then immediately reloads it wrong. You just saw where everything goes. What are we doing here?

I wonder how many people buy a new dishwasher because their SO is poo poo at loading the dishwasher and they don't think about how the glasses are always 100% clean only when that person is out of town.

Fwiw my wife and I are 100% on the same page when it comes to how a dishwasher should be loaded but one day we looked up the manual for something unrelated and saw how they suggested and immediately went "gently caress that they're wrong"

Bosch has a horizontal flatware tray up top so at least she can't gently caress that up. You'd think with the amount of plastic poo poo she's had to throw away from warping after being put on the bottom rack the light bulb would go off, but nope. Also, continually puts my good goddamn knives in the machine instead of handwashing. Maddening.

After my childhood, I've only ever had a dishwasher three times (once in the house I rented in Baltimore, once in the house I bought with my ex-wife, once in my last apartment just outside Madison after we separated). And, honestly, the only place I ever used the dishwasher was in Baltimore, because my housemates generated so loving many dirty dishes that I couldn't keep up. But otherwise? I actually legitimately enjoy doing dishes by hand. It's relaxing and cathartic, and I get an odd sense of peace when I get to the point, like tonight, that both my sink and my dish rack are empty:

Who cares how it's loaded as long as clean dishes are available. I'd prefer to do it every other day but my partner is someone who wants to get it as full as possible and poo poo is Tetris'd in. Cost wise it's pretty negligible and it's smaller amounts of dishes to unload! It's win-win!

The worst thing with dishes is to me, dishes in the sink signals the dishwasher is clean / full, and my wife always puts dishes in the sink rather than just putting it in the dishwasher, so it signals to me the dishwasher is full so then I start adding tings to the sink. It's just a really dumb habit to break.

One of my biggest pet peeves is dishes in the sink. Way too often dishes just pile up and next thing you know it's a disgusting chore nobody wants to do. This was the case in college & early in my adult life without a dishwasher and now that I have one I always put dishes in the unit. As soon as I finish cooking and just before I start eating I do a preliminary clean-up: put stuff in the dishwasher that I can & wash what can't. Bonus points for that time allowing whatever I cooked to rest & the juices to redistribute themselves.

But standard subs are pretty nominal. Which yachtmaster hasn’t gained? Maybe I’m only familiar with a few - the 1s and the 2s. The blue/gold/white 2 sells for like 2.5x what it did before. Daytons are insanely priced at some color combos.

Amy Pole Her posted:Subs kinda go nowhere. Unless you’ve got one of the cool color combos. But standard subs are pretty nominal. Hulk, bluesy even the black no date I've got are all selling for more than retail. At least based on the market here. A lot of them are listed high in yachtmasters but they don't really move, from what I've heard. Tbh though it's like any other investment. Going to be bad weeks and months but overtime, generally, other than the big correction a few years ago you're not going to lose money. I know the yellow gold and blue yachtmaster you're referring too and it's an ugly piece of poo poo. I hate it so much lol. The think only two models are tracking up this year but that's probably as much to do with the economy globally trending badly. In any event. You're not going to get rich buying a watch but you won't lose it.

Tons of folks love that design myself included. that watch is like 3x the watch a basic sub is lol but agree to disagree I guess. I can see the simple design being preferred but phew.

And now that I've lived alone for ... Jesus, six years, it's just kind of a nightly ritual for me. Occasionally the dishes pile up when I'm in a depressive funk, which happened last week, there wasn't a single clean plate or fork in my apartment. And then I went to loving town and when everything was done, I was like, "OK, Papa's got a brand new bag."

I've always just liked steel tbh which is why my grail is a steel panda daytona and I got black ceramic sub. I like some of the plain yachtmasters but the colourful ones are gross and yeah you could sell anything that shines in that market I would think. But I also have wristlet wrists so anything bigger than 40mm looks stupid. As long as you don't like hublot we can still be watch friends.

I'm usually the only one in the house to touch the dishwasher, and the utensils go in downwards so that I can grab them wholesale when removing them and not have to worry about a knife blade I didn't see.

That's the way I always loaded a dishwasher, especially after I started anticoagulation. I don't want to get nicked by a sharp blade and gush blood all over the rest of the clean dishes.

This is the way. My wife points the cutlery up except for the knives, and also tends to crowd it all into just 2 or 3 of the compartments for it. Which... yes I understand that they can all fit in there but A: it means they're bunched together and they sometimes don't get cleaned as well and B: the extra space that frees up doesn't ever get much use. It'd be like riding a bus and insisting on cramming everyone into half the seats and leaving the rest empty. I'm also somehow the only person on the house who understands rinsing the dishes before they go in so stuff doesn't get caked/dried on before we have a full load ready to go.

Knife blades go down, rest of the utensils go in handle down AND in their own separate compartment thing. Big spoons, small spoons, big forks etc. then you can just carry the whole thing over to the pancake drawer and you don’t have to sort when putting them in the tray.

Even as much as I like watches, above a certain price point they just don’t appeal to me much? I guess I’m not their target demo. Like I honestly would struggle to buy a watch I couldn’t wear kinda hard or one that doesn’t keep particularly good time. So water resistance and solar quartz dominated my very small and decidedly mediocre stable. Rugged and interesting are really my big interests. Love my watches though, even though I don’t have anything particularly nice or expensive. About the most I’d drop might be a few k on Seiko turtle rerelease or something, but even that gets my heart rate up burning that much on a trinket.

My wife thinks she loads it in organized way and it is a haphazard mess. If it’s possible to be driven very slightly crazy, that’s what happens to me. Relief that I didn’t actually do the dishes, but a heavy quiet sigh when I open it and see the carnage. LeeMajors fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Feb 9, 2024 |

The battery packs last quite a while too. Why would you wear it over your jacket tho? I go under to keep the warmth in.
