Write: right, i got in trouble when i was a kid learning to write when i used my left hand so its default for me now, though i can write with both hands simultaneously, my handwriting sucks anyway. Draw: circles with right, straight lines with left. golf: i dunno i try both, i'm so shit at golf it doesn't matter. Knife: Whittle/fine slicing with left chop with right. Haven't played tennis since i was 7 or 8 so i can't remember, Bat, I bat to the pitcher, Whiskey: whatever hand is closest/not nearest my date. anything else? | ||

You traditionally wear a watch on your non-dominant hand. No one is gonna monitor you and call you out for wearing it on your dominant hand but it's just tradition.

Not how I would run business, but it's not like Apple is the only company around that does this. | ||

When working properly, they're easy, intuitive, and aethetically pleasing, and not just in the bodies. When they're working, they tend to just work. And I don't feel like they break any more often (probably less often) than PCs. It's just that when they DO break, they're fucked and you're fucked because bye bye money Also, specifically against PCs: Unix is simply better than w/e shit terminals and organization Windows has. | ||

It's just that when they DO break, they're fucked and you're fucked because bye bye money Mac's are put together better than PCs, because users put together PCs and they are made to be interchangeable with parts, while Macs are designed to be put together once until they die. I don't disagree about any of the mac positives. I'm just talking from a pure choice perspective, if you can't afford a mac you aren't going to buy one anyway, and for those that can, if you value performance above all else, you go PC, if you don't NEED the performance increase from those dollars being spent on performance, you can spend them on a mac for those different positives. its not good or bad, its just a consumer choice. | ||

If you're making like 100k+ a year, considering the opportunity cost of your time. It's probably cheaper for you to skip using your time to do research on computers and laptops, and just pay the increased cost for an Apple product. | ||

Now that I think about it my dad palms it on his left hand not right. I really only want to get one for fashion since these days phones are way superior in function to watches in almost every way. My hands are really small so limited with what nice watches I can go :< | ||

Maine is the south of the north. People are so slow and have nowhere to be at any particular time, so they just mosey and fuck off. I'm not one for the super hectic city life, but I've always been a suburbanite. I don't want no country in my Northeast. On March 10 2015 05:23 Zdrastochye wrote: I wanna go to Sugarloaf... Traitor.

My hands are really small so limited with what nice watches I can go :< It's more about how thick your wrists are than how big/small your hands are. Big watches look awkward on thin wrists, though dial size, outside of extremes, is usually less relevant than the lug size. That said there are plenty of watches at various sizes so I'm sure you can find something. And I don't think many people wear watches primarily for functionality these days. Watches are jewelry and should be treated as such. | ||
