The moth usually wants a little something in return.

Like seriously perfect. Nothing left on the rim of the bottle at all, perfect unbroken foil on the little foam seal thingy.

Also, not trying to shill or anything, but I really love Meat Church seasonings. They're all just fantastic. Holy Cow is great on steaks and brisket. Holy Voodoo is amazing and cajun-y without being too hot. Holy Gospel is great for pretty much everything. This is my first time trying Dia de la Fajita on chicken, and it tastes great. All of it comes highly recommended from this dull man.

The sequel to ThanksKilling. There is no 2. Much like the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, the count shall be 3, no more, no less.

The movie starts off with a topless porn star Pilgrim getting axe-murdered by a turkey hand puppet, and goes downhill from there. It's fantastic!

I built a Ploopy mouse yesterday. All the buttons work, and for the most part it's fine. But the movement is on and off laggy. Sometimes it works great, even faster than what I had before, and then it just stalls or stutters and slows down for a several seconds. I've tried a couple different USB cables, I've taken it apart and tried to reseat everything, I took the optic piece off and tried to blow out any dust that may have been in there. But it's still on and off laggy. Happens in windows and Linux both.

This is only the second thing I've ever soldered, and I'm sure I did a pretty trash job of it. The board is mostly done but you have to solder the optical chip in at build time. Could that cause it to be laggy like that? I don't see any pins accidentally soldered together, there's separation between each soldered lead, though I definitely can't do the nice pretty little dots, they're ugly as hell.

They've provided instructions to build/update the firmware, could that help maybe?

Just wondering if there's any other ideas to help fix this? If I knew it was a legit bad board or something I could maybe go back to the seller and see about getting a replacement, but I'm afraid my soldering could be at fault in which case I don't want to make that his problem. So I'm hoping someone here may have an idea. I love the idea of this diy 3d printed mouse, just hoping it wasn't a $100 mistake.

Thanks in advance.

Really was trying for more Bea than Arthur, got more Arthur than Bea. This is the closest the bingolator would give without violating some rule or another. It's a shitpost, whaddya want?

I bought this Christopher Ward C60 #tide earlier this year, and I'm loving it! I purchased it on the bracelet, and also ordered the matching #tide strap.

Fit and finish is fantastic. I absolutely love their quick release bracelet! It's amazing! I really wish more watch bracelets had something like this. My other daily driver is a Speedy, and I would actually wear it on a bracelet more often instead of sticking to NATOs and other quick release straps if it wasn't such a pain to switch. This watch feels great on the wrist. At 42mm, it's arguably just a tiny bit too big for my 6.75" wrist, but it feels perfect to me. At least it's not one of those ridiculous giant Invictas, right?

The highlight of this watch is the wave pattern on the transparent blue dial. The waves are a little bit lumed, so even in the dark, it's got character. I'll be honest, though, I'm a bit underwhelmed by it. Compare my photo to the one on their website. When I took my photo, I'd been out in my backyard for an hour or two "watching the smoker," (read: laying in a hammock, scrolling Lemmy, occasionally glancing at temps) and then went straight to the completely black garage. So it would have been plenty charged up. You can see the waves, for sure, and I still think it's a cool effect. But it's not anywhere near as bright as their marketing photo suggests. But the wave pattern and the semi-transparent dial still look great even in daylight, so it's not a super big disappointment.

I'm not a scuba diver, but I've taken it swimming in the ocean and a lake or two, and it keeps on ticking. It's got 600m water resistance, which is more than enough for anything I ever plan on doing with it. But there's an awful lot of watches that cost many multiples of this one with only 150, 200, 300 meter ratings, and everyone knows how "accurate" those are anyway. So this one having double the usual depth rating was still nice. I don't need it, I don't really care, but the big number makes me feel better. I bought this to be my GADA watch, so having double the usual depth rating was reassuring, even if the "DA" in "GADA" won't ever mean diving to anywhere near 600 meters for me. It means I don't have to care. That's what I'm going for.

I can't really comment on it's accuracy, because i don't wear it every single day and I don't keep it wound, but when it's on for a few days in a row I don't have to change anything. It's absolutely good enough for me, but I'm not you. It's a Sellita SW200 movement, I imagine if you're subscribed here, you probably don't really need me to elaborate.

This was my first experience dealing with international shipping, and it went smoothly. I got an email from DHL when the watch arrived in the States, paid something like $90 for customs, and the watch was at my door maybe 4-5 days later.

Christopher Ward's customer service is great, too. A couple months after I bought it, I somehow managed to lose one of the keepers from the strap, slipped off somehow I guess, lost to the fifth dimension. I sent them an email asking if it was possible to get a replacement keeper without buying a whole new strap, and they sent me one. Totally my fault but they fixed it anyway. Go them!

All in all, I'm totally happy with the purchase. It's one of my two dailies (for now...), and it will be in the rotation for a good long while. It's great looking, great feeling, keeps good time, goes swimming, and it also glows in the dark a tiny bit more than most other watches. I'm just a rando on Lemmy, but if you're coming here for opinions, you can't go wrong with this one!
