Mini corn dogs out the air fryer.

I say it's for the kids, but I eat 80% of the bag.

I'm sitting in my office in Fort Worth right now. I don't live here, but I could, and I would choose it over Dallas and Houston.

I'd live in Fort Worth before both if given the chance. It's the best large city in Texas.

This is false.

My first kid born in 2022, and my second kid born in 2024 both got $250 from Michael Dell.

I agree. Especially as I age I gravitate towards black, white, and blues only. A bright color will be fun for max 1 year then I'll want to move it on. Same with anything over 42mm, or too toolish. Great for a bit, but prefer more conservatively sized, traditional colors for long term use.

This is an expensive hobby after all.

Cool watch but if I can't read the time on it I'm out.

I do like the chronometer sport they just released, but they continue to price watches in a category they don't belong in IMO.

Tudor just released the black bay chrono 39. Great size.

I've been interested in Grand Seiko for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on a SBGM245. I have a thing for steel bezel gmt's, so it joins the black bay pro and the explorer 2 polar.

The dial and indices in person are incredible.

You're either a robot or a retard because Dutch Bros does not sell black coffee.

I bought a Canon LBP6030w laser printer the other day for $80 from staples and it's great for the price. Probably the cheapest laser printer you can find. My only gripe is setting the wireless connection up requires installing a driver.

As someone who is considering a vasectomy, could you provide specific details about this?
I agree with that. Anyone ok spending 1.5-2k in a few watches honestly should sell off everything, save for a few more months, and spend 3-4k for a one watch collection. Be it a Tudor Black Bay, IWC Mark XX, Breitling Avenger, Omega Seamaster, even a Grand Seiko 9f quartz.

I would argue it's already happening.

Remember that major cloudefare outage that disrupted everyone? AI had something to do with that.

Github has had some major outages in recent time, which no doubt affected services you use every day, despite you not realizing it.

When it comes to to technology, from your phone, to TD, to the electronics in a gas pump, we are all being affected today.
Evening men.

Life do be like that sometimes.

Correct. A few years on location in the oil field and now I can't pull straight into a parking space to save my life.
