| jedijf | ChinnoDog: i don't do wristwatches; never did. even though i do like looking at some as jewelry. | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: i do have a pen that lights up when a call is received | 01:03 |
| InHisName | I thought it was a 'paper thin' watch. Looked a bit bulky in the movie. | 01:27 |
| waltman | I'm skeptical that they can do all that animation in eInk. I do wear a watch, mainly because when I'm trying to catch the train it's easier to check my wrist than to pull out my phone. | 03:33 |
| ChinnoDog | I only wear them as jewelry but the pebble might actually do something useful. | 03:37 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm pretty sure a watch worn as jewelry would have the same effect regardless of whether it worked or not | 03:37 |
| waltman | If you're just wearing it as jewelry, you could get one of those silly analog watches where it's impossible to tell time because it only has hands, but no number/divisions around the circle. | 03:39 |
| InHisName | Might be able to buy a $3,000 watch for $100 when it is totally unfixable, still good to go as 'jewelry' though. | 03:48 |
| waltman | I'm more practical when it comes to watches. | 03:52 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 10:07 |
| rmg51 | Morning | 10:38 |
| JonathanD | Hey rmg51 | 10:41 |
| rmg51 | Yo JonathanD | 10:41 |
| waltman | morning. | 12:18 |
| jedijf | waltman: were you dissing movado, one of my faves? | 14:19 |
| waltman | jedijf: That depends. Do they make silly watches where it's impossible to tell time? | 17:20 |
| ChinnoDog | but waltman, if it had numbers on it where would the challenge be? | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | I think some people believe figuring out what time it is shouldn't be a challenge ;) | 17:38 |
| waltman | I've got enough challenges in my life, such as not missing my train. | 17:39 |
| waltman | OK, suppose you're a supermarket checkout person and the customer says, "I don't think this is all going to fit in my reusable bag. Let me buy another one." | 17:40 |
| waltman | Do you take that as a challenge to try to stuff all 50 lbs of groceries into the original bag, or do you split the load evenly between the two bags? | 17:41 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 17:42 |
| waltman | My guy at Wegmans was all "Look, it all fit!" | 17:43 |
| waltman | Then I go to lift up the bag and I'm worried the straps are going to break. | 17:43 |
| waltman | I wonder why he thought I decided to buy the second bag. | 17:43 |
| rmg51 | wimp ;-) | 17:45 |
| waltman | rmg51: I was still going to have to carry the second bag! | 17:45 |
| rmg51 | where's the challenge? | 17:45 |
| waltman | the challenge was in redistributing the weight before the person behind my finished checking out :) | 17:46 |
| waltman | I should just give up on subtlety and politeness. | 17:46 |
| rmg51 | next time go with more then one bag :-/ | 17:47 |
| waltman | I had two bags, but one of them had ripped. That's why I bought the second bag. | 17:48 |
| waltman | Maybe I wasn't clear in my explanation. The first thing I purchased at the cash register was a second reusable bag. The clerk rang it up, put it behind him, and then stuffed all 50 lbs of groceries into my original bag. | 17:49 |
| rmg51 | should of bought the bag before you shopped | 17:50 |
| waltman | a) I didn't know how much I was going to get, and b) why would that have helped? | 17:51 |
| waltman | c) they sell the bags at the registers, presumably for exactly the situation I had | 17:51 |
| rmg51 | you would of had two bags to use right away | 17:52 |
| rmg51 | instead of having someone think you just wanted to buy a bag not use it right away | 17:52 |
| rmg51 | that happens way too often | 17:52 |
| waltman | but...but...why would you even BOTHER trying to overstuff everything into one bag when you've got two to play with? | 17:54 |
| rmg51 | because the clerk is silly | 17:55 |
| waltman | thank you! | 17:55 |
| rmg51 | if he wasn't so silly he would be working in IT :-D | 17:56 |
| jedijf | waltman: what knid of watch was the clerk wearing? | 18:45 |
| jedijf | kind | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | lol | 18:45 |
| InHisName | he was wearing a paper watch with NO numbers and no hands, just tiny nubs. So you have to really work at figuring out the time. | 19:03 |
| waltman | jedijf: I didn't notice | 20:16 |
