re: Would you buy this watch/brand?

Posted by DuckManiak on 9/26/26 at 12:13 am to
It’s at the right price point for the NH35 movement, so why not? If that’s the look you’re going for, get it.

At that price point, though, personally, I’d look into brands like Seiko, Citizen, and Orient. You’d get a really nice watch with a warranty.
Cheesy, but I knew I wanted to marry my wife after a couple of dates. We both had careers and the same ambitions. Had a clear vision on where we wanted our lives to be in the foreseeable future.

Still dated her for 6 years and lived together for 3 before I proposed.

Have been married 10 years and together for 16 now.

Hotel Effie rooftop bar Now that’s what I am talking about. I am staying at that resort.


Rum Runners in baytowne is a dueling piano restaurant/bar that is adults only after 10. They take requests and the crowd gets into it. They’re actually really good. They always have at least 4-5 different sets of bachelorette parties during the summer months.

You paid quarters for gumballs as a kid?

Yeah, a restaurant/bar in town had a machine that had the twirl for a quarter. It was fancy.
My son is at camp this week and at the end of every day, one of the parents gives quarters to the campers to get a gum ball.

I was thinking about growing up in the early to mid 90s when I’d beg for quarters for the gum ball machine.

Vendors must have made a killing back then.
I used to work with ofc Williams’ oldest son. He and I are the same age, so he was 6 when his dad was murdered by this POS.

He never really talked about it, but, did mention that his dad was NOPD and was killed when he was a kid. I looked up the case myself and was shocked when I saw it.

He is the spitting image of his dad, too.

Hamilton Khaki is my daily wear right now. I still have the stainless bracelet on it, but, about to buy a few straps.

Takes a lot of electricity for electrolysis

Everyone is getting cancer, anyway. We should just use the confiscated uranium from Iran and use a couple of grams per car. Would be plenty to have a radiolysis powered vehicle.

Just make sure you never run out of water… my wife would melt down at least 5 cars per year.

re: TSA partial shutdown at MSY

Flew out of MSY at 6:20. Parked at 4:30 and through TSA by 5:15. My 5 and 3 y/o came through pre check with me with no issues. Wife and MIL took a while to get through.
Need to change the title. That bridge is in Caryville, Fl.

Also, those are steel H piles used during footer repairs.

Retards sure love to eat it up, though.
IMO a ptech degree does nothing but give young guys false confidence. You’re trying to learn general board operator terms and knowledge with no real world experience.

Any unit you go through will have different flows, operating pressures, feed stock, and waste.

OJT and experience is the only way to learn a unit. Internships are the only way to get into a unit. Find out how to get into an internship program and you’re golden.

Jeter in the middle looks like he’s still at playing weight. I’d bet he could still suit up on Sundays.

re: Company restructuring

My company has recently gone through an acquisition and the fat cutting has finally made its way past corporate and down to us. A manager recently got the ax when they combined departments.

On a local level, we weren’t surprised it was that manager who got cut. He was the definition of a micromanager who didn’t know how to stay in his own lane and couldn’t take criticism. I don’t think they would have given him the opportunity they’re giving you.

I hate to see anyone lose their job, especially around the holidays, but, he was a douche.

And you LSU fans are already saying Kiffin is excused if he goes 8-4 with a 25 million NIL bankroll and Kelly leaving the program with a winning record.....lmao. If Kiffin doesnt win 10 games in his 1st season...he's a frickin' bust

His win/loss record will depend directly upon if he can get a qb to run his offense. A Pavia/Chamberliss type that LSU doesn’t have on the roster. He should be able to snatch one out of the portal via the $25mil bank roll if a recruit doesn’t pan out.

I don’t think too many people are worried about the future with the NIL guarantees in his contract.

Cane Sauces tell me Verge is flying incognito from MSY as I type, with contract in hand. Stay tuned.

Is this the little girl that Gnarly Barley did a fundraiser for this past weekend? I've been seeing their posts about it and wanted to get out there but our kid was sick this weekend so we missed it. Praying for the girl and her family. Cancer sucks.

Yes, her mom and dad were actually able to come in for it. It was a good time! Had a great turnout, too.
