I'd like to come forward and say that I also wear a hoodie when it's cold. Not that color though, I prefer a black or blue hoodie. I also wear glasses, have a beard and moustache, and am at least 3 times uglier than the guy in the photo.

I was kinda assuming the same, but I dunno, haven't been keeping up with the news all that much the past couple days.

Regardless, have an upvote 👍

Interesting. Guess I'm out of the loop right now, context please?

If I flip the watch over where the spikes are on the outside, it can totally devastate someone's face with a good backhanded wrist slap. Those spikes are mounted into 4mm thick genuine top shelf leather, so I won't feel a damn thing.

Believe me, I've passively tested it a few times on trees before, I'd rather get punched with brass knuckles than this thing. I've never had to use it on a person before, and I surely hope I never need to.

Haha, well thankfully I don't live in Canada 👍

No. Everyone should have a right to medical privacy.

IDGAF about the nature of the relationship, you simply do NOT call someone at work about private health issues.

Contact them privately and discuss it, but don't broadcast their health issues, especially at their workplace.

Matter of fact, you shouldn't even be broadcasting anyone's health issues online.

Obviously I didn't make the watch itself, but I have a different style to me, so of course I needed to make a custom band.

Don't ask how much it costed me, too much, but plenty of extra material.

Nope, Gulf Coast USA. But yep, that plus a couple other items would be my loot.

I also have a couple fun cards in my wallet, one is a Fresnel magnifying lens, which can be used to start fires, and another card is a folding pocket knife.

Edit: Also a multitool plus a spiked watch wristband coming up very soon. I'm not a fan of metal detectors LOL!

Those are all the same item though. Unless you have more than one..

A pair of glasses that nobody else can see through, a fixed size watch that will only fit the smallest of wrists, and a mostly empty wallet with cryptic notes in it going back over a decade.

No picture today, just a question. Like, my brain doesn't work well when I gotta keep the center squares fixed in place, I'm almost always rotating the cube around.

Adding dice dots to it totally throws off the conventional algorithms, but in a good way. Often I'll use green or blue as my top side, but other times I'll use white or yellow as my top side. It just depends on the puzzle.

And yes I'm a wrist turner.

Update on my modded Rubik's Cube Dice Studies

Since there is apparently no algorithm out there (that I know of) that incorporates dice dot patterns on a Rubik’s Cube, I’ve been on my own to study the interesting patterns that I’ve discovered.

Your cube does not necessarily need the dots to accomplish these patterns, but it’s definitely fun playing with my modded cube!

If you have any suggestions or additions, or happen to spot any errors or even possible duplicates, by all means please let me know.

Edit: The two left columns are all proper dice, where all dot patterns 1 through 6 are there, and opposing side dots add up to 7. The right column is what I call 5/5/5 patterns, or the Trypophobic sequence of patterns.

Yes, I know this is a clock and not a watch, but the only Clocks communities I could find are pretty dead right now.

It's a crazy awesome mechanical clock that doesn't need batteries or manual winding, it winds itself using bellows and air temperature changes.

Source: Came with a case of my dad's Busch beer in the early 90s. It took 16 scans on a 300dpi scanner stitched together plus lots of filtering to get it this legible, so please forgive 'potato' quality, this was scanned in long ago.

Edit: Of course you'll need to zoom in to read it.

Sorry I no longer have the original paper to rescan.

Mine has worn in enough to start jamming up, but I've mitigated that by pressure washing it at our water park almost every day. That helps a lot, but I've been reluctant to actually lubricate it, not like I want oil on my hands every time I tinker with it..

Advice very welcome, as the puzzle you see above, I can solve it blind and single handed, but the thing keeps jamming up..

Update: I figured out where the main wear and tear is coming from. I used a cloth wipe to clean all the crevices of plastic dust. Then I noticed circular grooves worn into pretty much every piece internally.

Turns out, it was caused by plastic burrs from the clips on the covers of the center pieces. If I had realized that to begin with, I would have flattened those out and cleaned them up when I first had it disassembled.

Anyways, now it's already pretty well worn in, no reason to bother now. Still, if I knew in advance, I would have trimmed, smoothed out, and lubricated those manufactured plastic burrs before even using it much.

Based on my modified Rubik's Cube/Die.

Yes obviously it's not a proper die as far as the dot pattern goes, but it's fun figuring out patterns like this.
