Torpedo

They have become part of the Louis Vuitton group of companies. Zenith did too, but they're not as much (yet) marketing focused. Luxury is a huge business, looks like the most intelligent are not the richest.

OMG this is serious

I have none and I'm pretty happy. I am assuming that most socialites would say my social life is next to nonexistent.

That they're switching to a new server is good news, I guess. If they can provide a decent service without drop outs in lossless, I'll be in despite the shitty interface.

Now we're talking

Yes, 32GB, I'd take FD but you need Flash. This-is-da-Case, people please.

The desktop client always worked worse than the browser one, but now it's dead, it skips from a tune to the next one in a fraction of a second while nothing sounds. Did you ever get it to scrobble to your LastFM account? IMO that software is a serious POS.

Hehehe, this must explain why it's working so damn well today here. No skips at all on the web client on Chrome.

Yeah the Sea Dweller is more like the Pelagos, but SD and Submariner aren't that different actually. For some reason I've liked the Submariner since I was a kid and it's perhaps my favourite watch, so anything resembling it will fit me better. Huge bias OTOH 42mm is the largest size my wrist can wear without me looking like a clown.

Aesthetically I like the Pelagos better, but that's just because it looks much like the Submariner and like you, the yellow accents aren't my thing. I like the power reserve feature and the overall looks.

Yup, they're giving their final concerts before retiring. They lost way too many members At this moment they're touring Europe. Unfortunately not Spain http://www.songkick.com/artists/126820-buena-vista-social-club/calendar Now listening to Gregory Porter - Issues of Life It's available at Tidal

RIP, Mike. Toto was one of my favourite groups in the 80s Today died Claudio Cifuentes, more known as "Cifu". He's been carrying on a radio show about jazz on a daily basis at the Spanish Public Radio for 42 years. He also had a jazz TV show for a few years in the late 70s to early 80s. Thanks to this man I learned quite a bit about jazz. An awesome guy, he even replied personally to an email I sent to him. I listened to one of his shows about three weeks ago. He'll be missed. RIP Cifu.

Red Bull are now crying like little girls that if the rules don't change they're leaving F1

Buena Vista Social Club - Lost and Found Ready to listen at NPR in the First Listen program.

Great job, Anurag. What a bunch of awesome people

Happy birthday!

Don't worry, under normal use the JLC leather straps can last way longer than one year. Use on it from time to time a good fine leather protection cream, specially to avoid moisture getting into it. Keeping it flexible will help the "tension hole" to stay round and not getting a transversal crease which might lead to a break line. Those clasps are nice and help reducing tension, but are quite expensive too. There are many wonderful affordable leather straps to substitute the original JLC. Most high end watches are overpriced, as any other luxury item, but I agree that Hublot is particularly offensive in that regard IMO.

That's a nice Omega, Larry. I wish you got a good deal on that Dave, the Hublots IMHO are as a jewellery-fashion-fancy watch as any Cartier or the like. I'd get a JLC as you did any time. It's not only about machinery quality, but elegance and a bit of understatement.

Ouch, that's some cash for the new nib If it can be fixed I'd try it, in the worst case a new one can be installed at any moment.

Here we have Montblanc stores where they change the nib almost right away, you can do that if the pen is on warranty or you'd like better a different nib thickness. I have no idea how much they'd charge for a new one not covered by the warranty.

Congratulations, it's a wonderful watch and seems a great deal too

This. The only concern would be the degradation of the organoleptic properties due to further maceration, but distilled liquors aren't wines or beers, they usually don't have yeasts or fungus converting sugar in more alcohol. What a pity, my wife loves Amaretto. You should try it on a properly made tiramisú

Nope, they do about hot teachers or football players, but he's not actually a school girl. To be honest, I don't expect much excitement from this season, I'm afraid Mercedes is going to blast them all while the rest struggle to make just a decent act.

Happy birthday, Ryan!!!! Have a great day

Nope, not even a mk2.5, good old mk2 which can be made to sound like the mk1, but wearing a SZ3 serial number.
