[01:03] <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
[01:27] <InHisName> I thought it was a 'paper thin' watch.   Looked a bit bulky in the movie.
[03:33] <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.
[03:37] <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
[03:39] <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.
[03:48] <InHisName> Might be able to buy a $3,000 watch for $100 when it is totally unfixable,  still good to go as 'jewelry' though.
[03:52] <waltman> I'm more practical when it comes to watches.
[10:07] <JonathanD> Morning.
[10:38] <rmg51> Morning
[10:41] <JonathanD> Hey rmg51
[10:41] <rmg51> Yo JonathanD
[12:18] <waltman> morning.
[14:19] <jedijf> waltman: were you dissing movado, one of my faves?
[17:20] <waltman> jedijf: That depends. Do they make silly watches where it's impossible to tell time?
[17:37] <ChinnoDog> but waltman, if it had numbers on it where would the challenge be?
[17:38] <pleia2> I think some people believe figuring out what time it is shouldn't be a challenge ;)
[17:39] <waltman> I've got enough challenges in my life, such as not missing my train.
[17:40] <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."
[17:41] <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?
[17:42] <pleia2> hehe
[17:43] <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.
[17:45] <rmg51> wimp ;-)
[17:45] <waltman> rmg51: I was still going to have to carry the second bag!
[17:45] <rmg51> where's the challenge?
[17:46] <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.
[17:47] <rmg51> next time go with more then one bag :-/
[17:48] <waltman> I had two bags, but one of them had ripped.  That's why I bought the second bag.
[17:49] <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.
[17:50] <rmg51> should of bought the bag before you shopped
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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
[17:54] <waltman> but...but...why would you even BOTHER trying to overstuff everything into one bag when you've got two to play with?
[17:55] <rmg51> because the clerk is silly
[17:55] <waltman> thank you!
[17:56] <rmg51> if he wasn't so silly he would be working in IT :-D
[18:45] <jedijf> waltman: what knid of watch was the clerk wearing?
[18:45] <jedijf> kind
[18:45] <pleia2> lol
[19:03] <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.
[20:16] <waltman> jedijf: I didn't notice
