Well, my GMT has started running -20 sec/day. It was running -2, previously.. It's not magnetized (I had it demagnetized at a local jeweler I trust, who has a real demagnetizer, and not the $20 Chinese one I have), and it hasn't been knocked, or dropped, or abused in any other way. I guess it goes back to California. The service was warrantied, and I'm absolutely sure it will be taken care of, but I'm having some bad watch luck, of late.

It's really excellent, for sure.

Happy birthday, Stretch!

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. I think GGG won 7 rounds. It was as great fight, though.

GGG/Canelo

Diaz/Rivera.

I take it you've never used a wok to deep fry, then, as there is very little. The shape of the wok, and the seasoning on a good carbon wok, means that you use very little oil, it doesn't splatter outside of the wok, and the oil slides right out when you're done. I take it that you don't like wings at restaurants, then.

What a legend.

If I were cooking wings in a wok, I'd deep fry. It's the perfect fry vessel.

I love seeing a burger on an English muffin! That's what every burger my father made (and my dad made a lot of burgers) was seated in between.

Casualties of Cool

That's good to know, thank you. It might come in handy, if I'm ever out that way.

Do they make it the opposite way, with regular buns and lots of lettuce and pickles and tomatoes and cheese in the middle?

I think this might be the first time I've really smoked the autograph (I think I've smoked a few partials). Man, it's a good smoker (cool, perfect draw, complex flavor, stays lit, dry to the bottom of the bowl), and this aged Old Dublin is very nice.

Not quite yet, but in a few minutes I'll be smoking some Peterson Old Dublin that has been aging for about a decade in my humidor (and boy does it smell good!) out of my Savinelli Autograph. I sure miss all those pipes that were stolen, but I guess I smoke a pipe infrequently enough that it's not a big deal, one way or another (I still have a very nice Parker and another Savinelli, from the 60s).

voices, unlike continuous background-noise, are intermittent sounds of short individual duration, so there isn't much time for the noise-cancelling to do its job with them.

That's just because Bubba J. Test, social security number 111223456 was part of the hack.

I hope the executives who sold shares before the announcement are prosecuted.

Have you seen OWC's drop in CPU upgrades?

As of today, forever after, I will save myself $10 per jacket taken-in, as I have figured out how to correctly redo the vent overlap and crease, so that the vent flaps lie correctly. It takes all of maybe 5 minutes, and that includes the time it takes the iron to heat up. I totally understand why it's not included in having a jacket taken-in (and, I'd assume, let-out; the issue is probably the same, just opposite), as it's a nice little profit center. Of course, that $20 includes a full press and crease, but I have a good steamer and iron, so the vent work was what I was really paying for.

Maybe go with thrice baked potatoes, next time.

Assuming that the screws in the baseplate were holding something down that would otherwise vibrate, you may just be able to wedge something under said component, depending on what it is.

Apparently not so much that you didn't make a post about it.

That wouldn't have happened if you had a phone for adults.

At 7 feet tall and 350 pounds, she didn't seem that little...
