Interest in "old-fashioned" watches definitely grew during the pandemic.

Prices on this kind of stuff are often higher in Europe. Dunno if it's VAT or tariffs or what, but it seems to be across the board. Also note that that US$50 price does not include taxes. So depending on what state you're in, th

The fact that this G-Shock is smaller and thinner likely explains the shorter battery life. It's definitely a trade-off that some people (like you) are interested in making. I have a Garmin Fenix 5 and that thing is HUGE.

For the specific government use case, having a feature but not using it is not good enough. It cannot have that feature at all, full stop.

By any chance are you Arab? If so, then I can see why that might sting (and why the others were, unfortunately, taking the tack). If you're not though, then meh, easy to dismiss.

The F91W is like $20 though. You're expecting too much from something so cheap. If you pay a bit more than that you'll get a better product. The profit margins on a $20 watch are too low to individually calibrate the rate accur

> 20 seconds a month is about normal for a quartz watch. [...] so called "high accuracy quartz" watches do exist, which can be accurate to about 15-30 seconds per year. Heh, you can get much better quartz watches than that if

Does this mean it has two separate batteries, or what? If only one battery, then you could keep it charged up on solar and only occasionally do a HR reading, without ever having to plug it in. I have a 5610 that I bought recently with the

The funny thing about the 200m WR rating on true diver's watches is that that's more than even 99.9% of divers are ever going to use. Recreational diving tops out at 40m (that's a deep dive!), let alone 200m. The actual num

Two months is an awfully long time to go with no working car and no money to buy a new one. This could be a substantial hardship.

Ok, how about at most state levels then? I seriously doubt you could wire up new construction in a completely nonstandard way and then expect to pass inspection.

Anything touching the DNS records for the root of your entire web presence is not simple and needs substantial review.

I guess I'm not too surprised in that, unlike domain names, these aren't obviously exposed to end users, so terseness doesn't particularly matter. Verbose and descriptive is honestly better for most names.

Are you sure you have the details correct here? This is not generally how public key cryptography works.

They were the most popular memes on Memegen for several days. You're over-correcting in the other direction.

Gas stoves matter as far as indoor air quality and giving people asthma/allergies goes.

I mean, they won't be back if they can't easily be constructed by modifying existing production vehicles. The market for them is never again going to get big enough to support from-scratch production as a new model line.

Most people in NYC rent, and there are many other considerations to make when picking an apartment to move into besides what kind of stove it has. You're often taking what you can get. This law will mean that, going forward, there wi

The issue isn't that the loans are likely to default, it's that the present value of those loans has gone way down as even short term securities have higher interest rates now. If you need to sell those loans you'll take a la

> Due to software bugs other zones in the same region were also previously down. I don't think it was a software bug. I think they were taken down as a precautionary measure, to not risk flood damage or causing additional fires.

The recommendations are to run in multiple regions if you need this kind of redundancy. Run everything in a single region and you can be affected by an event like this.

It sounds like this might just be confusion over nomenclature, with Google and Amazon using different terms for the same thing. Regardless, with GCP, if you need redundancy that can survive the loss of an entire datacenter, then you need to

AWS has similarly suffered outages from an entire datacenter being taken out like this. No one is immune. If you want true fault-tolerance you need to be multi-regional (everyone says as much), ideally, multi-continental. europe-west9 is

There's a lot more to a datacenter building than just the servers sitting on racks. In particular here there was a fire in the power-serving infrastructure (caused by the flood presumably). So nearly all of those servers could be tot

They were legalized in 1982, so no, definitely not new. Simply put, it took norms and customs awhile to develop around using them, plus the Net Investment Tax came into effect making the tax savings more substantial.
