If you decide to look into investing in stocks, i'd recommend Walgreens, Sam Adams, or Toyota.

That's the phone my pops picked when we all went to the store to upgrade. The display is gorgeous. Pictures look like they are painted on the screen.



This came on my doorstep today via USPS, which is amazing considering it's easter sunday, and I ordered it a day and a half ago.

Spigen tough armor case.



The stand is handy for falling asleep to Netflix.

why even post that poo poo, just to brag you got a free bike?

I know the $60 junk bike is some shameless bragging among new houses and cars, but it's a project that i'm going to use to learn how to install replacement parts on.

Can't figure out of it's 16+ because it's very difficult to assemble, or if it's because it includes a Lego Bong.

I had that orange ironman (3rd one) in elementary school in the 80s. Is it cool again now?

Old LCD watches in general have a steady niche market. Though the ones that go for real money are the 70's LED watches, or LCD watches by Seiko and Omega.

Any idea how much a well-worn Seiko Digiborg is worth? My dad has worn it every day since 1981, I don't even have a memory of him without it.

Around $300 depending on the condition. Maybe more. I love the way that watch looks. That's the style that collectors love. Hopefully you get it someday.


dreesemonkey posted:

Man I want that ironman. I have the "new" ironman in that color combo, I remember my dad and uncles having them and thinking they were the coolest things ever. My wife makes fun of my watch but I like it :(

When people make fun of the watch you're wearing, you're wearing it for the right reasons!


I found this bible book of medals at a yard sale.




Not religious, but I think they are cool, and neat to look at. It's heavy as gently caress.

LG Urbane



Good choice, I love mine... as long as I don't try to stand up and read it.

No, the LG Urbane is currently the only non dorky smartwatch on the market. It looks pretty drat close to a proper watch.
As long as you don't have a Naruto timeface or something on it. If it had replica faces from Panerai, IWC, Patek, Breguet, that would be the poo poo.

If you think a $500 lens is expensive, I do not recommend getting into photography.

Oh I know $500 is nothing. I figured if it was used and a good deal, that those things must retail for serious dough.
In my hobby we have a "cyclists tax" was wondering if it was the same in photography, or if poo poo is priced appropriately.

San Juan


This place is awesome. It goes without saying but reading up on the history of the fort, island, and city makes the visit a much richer experience.

The height of the fort walls are staggering once you get up to them. Try to lift one of the cannonballs at the top of a stack, if no staff are around looking.
