@kirby oh, also if you put them in the washing machine, fasten them around the belt loops on a pair of trousers, they don't get lost that way

@kirby ah yeah, they do seem to get dirty quick, although it's probably the same amount of dirt as other straps pick up and those just don't show as much

best thing to do is every couple of weeks take the strap off and chuck it in the washing machine, either that or clean it with dish soap and warm water if you don't happen to be putting a load in the machine

@kirby yeah, they do add a bit of height to a watch which can be annoying if it's a thick watch to begin with

super functional though

SEA BUNNY!

Jorunna Parva, tiny lil underwater sea slugs what are fluffy and look like smol buns

Sadly very poisonous so no pets

@auravulpes :thaenkin: so the male ones are incubuses, the female ones are succubuses... I wonder what an enby fuck demon is called

and yes, I know they're more properly called G10 straps but take that up with the rest of the watch nerd community

it's only after faffing about for 10 minutes fitting a bracelet with teeny tiny annoying spring bars that won't go in the fucking lug that you truly appreciate how easy and accommodating nato straps are

the existence of the blahaj shark has done far more to ingratiate ikea to me than any amount of advertising spend ever could

@mavica if you ever need more robot validation just remember this

no organic being could possibly remember that

@rhys@myasstodon.xyz "ah, so it's the same sort of racism as 'scientific' racism"

This is neat

Two independent bezels, one count-up for timing stuff, one 12- or 24-hour bezel for time zones

$300 to $500 depending on variant, look like decent watches

@mavica just make very sure not to ever burn flac to CD

you don't lose any quality when you encode to flac so when you put it on a CD and it improves the quality then you end up with more quality than you started with and it breaks the universe

@rhys@myasstodon.xyz what if they're lovingly scrapbooking them so they can give you a birthday present of all your good toots in book form?

@gdkar I think you may just have reinvented the gramophone record

I mean, I know y'all love your capitalism over there but the literal selling of ones own species to be eaten?

fucking hell

wait, let me get this straight, for the past 104 years an anthropomorphic peanut with a top hat and a monocle has been selling fellow members of his species to the US populace for consumption

what the shit USA?

@mplouffe@scholar.social Omega sell a watch they loudly claim as "THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE"

Despite the fact that the first watch in space is most likely a Sturmanskie, the first watch worn on a spacewalk was a Strela, and the first swiss wristwatch in space was a Breitling

They do the same as the USA, "FIRST ON THE MOON SO WE WON!"

Hold on that's a load-bearing tmux session

@mavica hey, gotta find something to put on all eight of my wrists :blobgrin:

Turns out Cmdr William Pogue wore a non-approved Seiko 6139 during Skylab 4 about 11 years before this and so that was the actual first automatic watch in space but nobody knew that at the time
