Seconded on the tritium fade, my oldest is around 15 years and you can tell a big difference vs newer ones. I've had my eye on a Marathon GPM for a while, I already have a GPQ-clone with no date complication. Bertucci A5s are similar i

If you like lume, check out tritium watches from companies like Luminox or Traser. They have automatics that are reasonably priced and are super utilitarian. Most of their models are field or divers, so they may fit your preferences.

I went to a smaller company (<100 people) thinking that there would be less of this type of inefficiency. Then they hire a Scrum master and now it takes longer to gather specs, write documents, create tickets with points, bikeshed and di

Same path here. 2 years using Credit Karma, then jumped through hoops only to see that Cashapp couldn't locate my prior returns, so I just used Freetaxusa.

In America, people are paying to buy Ring and Nest cameras to further the privately built surveillance state. The best part is that the most common reason for doing so is package theft, but police won't really do anything about your

I have a 2RZ-FE (2.4 I4) Tacoma (the vintage where half were recalled due to rusty frames) with 390k and 3UZ-FE (4.3 V8) LS430 with 300k, both requiring just normal maintenance. If you change the oil, many Toyotas will just keep going. A la

90%+ of marketers are bad at their job, but since everyone else is, too, it doesn't seem to matter. New/incremental sales (think brand agnostic, high funnel terms with intent like boston electrician or cleveland mortgages) are out

5g home internet probably isn't as good as fiber, but so far with T-Mo‘s $50/mo plan I average 250/30mbit with around 30ms latency. In a relatively dense newer suburb, Att only offers 50/10 "advertised speed" D

Have you ever been to Ohio? Cincinnati is arguably the most interesting of Ohio's cities and is still kind of boring (I say this having lived in the 4 largest cities within Ohio). It is logistically important and is undergoing an Ama

May be worth trying Amazon-- it shows if you search there. Not going to give Bezos the satisfaction of the actual link to the product page, though.
