    Even if the saddle is a good fit, your butt may need some time to get used to it. 

     

    This is also important to remember if you spend a good deal of time off the bike. The saddle that felt awesome all last summer/fall and now feels like bad after a lazy winter feels like bad because your butt is no longer used to it.

    The Sinn Hydro stuff is pretty cool and a lot cheaper. You probably knew that already though.

     

    Not cheaper than a DIY oil-filled G-shock :P

     

    I filled my F-91W the other night, and am proud to say that it has held up to several passes through my shower, and does not show any bubbles in the face. I don't actually own a G-shock watch... I cant decide if its my style, which I'm pretty sure means its not. 

     

    The ressence 3 seems like it was really built "just for looks" (only 5ATM WR, IIRC) but, still bad ass. I am kind of a sucker for weird face layouts or uncommon movements.

    I have no experience with that brand, but FUUUUUUCK, if ever there was a watch begging for liquid filling. The way that crystal is domed! OMG.  

     

    I was thinking of liquid filling a G-shock for stoopid-water resistance a while back (because its cool to have a watch that is WR to 1000m) and one thing lead to another and I found the Ressence 3... Liquid filled watches with hands look totally amazing.

  19. 2015 Coney Island Polar Bear swim & Fundraiser

    in Off Topic

    Hello All

     

    I thought it would be fun to take the Polar Bear swim at Coney Island this year. Its been on my bucket list for a while. 

     

    They are raising money for Camp Sunshine - a camp for Children with life-threatening illnesses and their families and I would appreciate it if anyone could donate some money to them through my page.

    I don't think I have told you this, but I went to camp every summer from when I was 6 weeks old (my father was the camp director) until I was 20, doing everything from filling diapers, to being a camper, working in the kitchen, being a counselor, and working on the high-ropes course. All of it was pretty amazing and it would be cool to help someone else experience that.

     

    Thanks

    People have wound transformers with "exotic" wire before. 

     

    I remain skeptical to any claims that the differences from winding material cause a larger difference than the differences from using the same materials (cores, bobbins, wire) in a slightly different way. 

     

    In other words:

    Mucho cost for (basically) no change 

    VS

    (maybe not even a) small difference in labor cost for likely change.

  22. And now what did you do TODAY?

    There is this thing called Google (or a lawyers office) where one could search whether the police are required to inform you of your rights or not and at what time. 

     

    PS: Am I the only one who finds incredible irony in asking about rights *after* a civil rights demonstration?
