The trend for a while has been going to normal size pieces, but is the pendulum swinging in the full opposite direction?
Looks like men on various forums are going from the large 48 MM timepieces to wearing ladies Datejust and other 26MM-28MM …
To each his own…
That is some perfomative nonsense. Out of proportion and looks totally wrong. And this comes from someone who tends toward the "smaller" end of the spectrum and believes that the height of watch form and function is the 36 mm oyster case in its various iterations. (At least I have some insight into what triggers me, haha).

re: Imagine the worldwide melt if there was an Anglo-American WC Final

It’s almost impossible for there to be an all Anglo final.
I agree, but England can surely beat anyone, Spain and Portugal have a long history of bed shitting and the US is at home. Unlikely, I agree, but then that's what message boards are for.

I know US has a guantlet to run to get there, but that would be so tasty to see the rest of the world lose it.

I don't buy it anymore. Make our own gelato at home. Have a cuisinart ICE-100 maker with compressor. Convenient and easy My own control of ingredients and endless flavors. I have a batch of Crema and a batch of Ameretto with chopped roasted almonds in the freezer right now.
re: 250th anniversary vs 200th anniversary

Several cool 70's logos were omnipresent. I remember starting with Super Bowl X in January both the Steelers and Cowpersons had the Bicentennial Star patch on the jerseys. It was a big deal pretty much the whole year. Maybe its because I was a kid that I remember it as a much bigger deal, but I think it really was a much bigger deal.
re: Unpopular opinion: America The Beautiful should be the national anthem
Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 7/3/26 at 11:41 am to Ingeniero
One of a few good choices...for purely getting in the patriotic mood, the coda to Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever really gets my patriotic juices flowing. Sounds like one ot those jaunty eastern european martial style national anthems. Especially like the piccolo section heading into the loud and faster finale.

I'm stupid when it comes to this game and couldn't get a clear answer on AI, can Tyler Adams come back in?
re: What is the correct pronunciation of Iberville
Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 6/30/26 at 1:16 pm to DeafVallyBatnR
I always said it with a short "I" (Ibber-ville as opposed to eye-ber-ville), but I'm not from New Orleans area. Julien on YouTube backs this pronunciation up.

see what happens when humans set aside politics and preconceived notions and just enjoy the sense of something else that is new to them? Great to see.

Not only did the letter say no go, but it was a carefully crafted and well thought out middle finger. Basically said he should be embarrassed for even asking.
re: Spy, Espionage and Political Thriller recs
Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 6/22/26 at 2:11 pm to AUveritas
I would throw the Mitch Rapp books in there as well - spy craft, black ops, political machinations. Vince Flynn wrote the first 10 or so then met an untimely death to cancer in his 40's. If you ask me the Kyle Mills written books after Flynn died are done seamlessly as well. Haven't read the last couple from yet another author.
I see some other good recs above and of course Clancy goes without saying though younger readers might see it as dated. Slow the Slough House books by Mick Herron. I'm a big Jack Carr fan, though I know he is kinda polarizing and some consider he drops too many brand specific gear references, though the guys cred is undeniable.

Read them in order. May seem dated a little bit with change in geopolitics, but they are all good reads. Cardinal is probably my favorite in the Jack Ryan universe. It's been a lot of years though since I read them. Good memories.

Read it in the matter of a few days. Loved the storyline with the dog. Took a break from my late to the party tear through the Mitch Rapp universe to read it. Hope we get more Chris Walker material. Loved the LSU references as well.

Always a red flag of some insecurities incoming when you see the honorific titular prefix Dr. and the letters denoting the professional degree after. One or the other or you are hiding something.

Thank you, but that is where the accident happened, my thought is that it might involve a crew from BAFB, I'm not military, but thought perhaps the plane and/or crew belonged to one of the two bases where those planes live.

awful...wonder which base, only two Minot or BAFB. Sad, my wife and I both know a ton of those families through our medical practices. Sorry to hear. Lots of young families with lots of young kids.

Djokovic is gonna have probably his last best shot for 25 at Wimbledon with Alcaraz out. We will see what kind of head space Sinner is coming back from RG. Ironically, the early round loss might well help him, at least from a purely physical standpoint. There is a reason why the Channel Slam has historically been difficult to achieve, though adding the extra week in between probably made it a tad less difficult.

Going with this one today, good Sunday watch.
