The fuck are you doing with your watches that the loops in the strap break? There's no strain on those, they just retain the excess strap material. They don't need to be thick.

The watch on the left was a graduation gift from my dad when I finished college. I've had it for almost 13 years, and it's the watch I generally wear on a daily basis. The strap has never been replaced and the loops are thinner than the ones on the new watch and have always been fine.

I think they were just that cheap. I'm pretty sure they broke purely from the wear and tear of me putting on and fastening my watch.

On cheap watches, breaking isn't uncommon. I got mine replaced a month or two back, also for the price of a new watch.

I was shocked indeed when I got a replacement. I thought the saleslady said 190. Turns out it was really 1,900. Definitely was not expecting to pay that much, especially when the leather is clearly just scraps.

Ubuntu for DA/DS work. Also because I am getting sick of Microsoft, and to hedge against it falling.

Amazon: we'll see if I ever actually get this. I've ordered things on Amazon before that they just couldn't end up fulfilling and canceled the order. Scary that Sony would release the PS Pro with no drive and then not ensure they have enough of these for purchase. EDIT: Canceled order. I ordered one from Bestbuy that says I'll have it this week.

Damn, "Gunsmith Cats" arrived sooner than I expected. The Amazon order said June because I ordered both volumes at the same time and the second one comes out in June. I was ready to read "The Complete Chronicles of Conan" by Robert E. Howard (my first novel in forever) after finishing "Lone Wolf and Cub" in perhaps two weeks. Actually, I kind of lost interest in "Gunsmith Cats." Wanted to get into another older manga and couldn't decide on one before ordering "Conan" on Ebay. But now that I'm actually looking at the clean, stylish artwork of the girls on the still shrink-wrapped book, I'm interested again. Guess I can go back and forth, since they're probably both episodic.

A couple of 140mm fans to go in the roof of my case to get better extraction.
