Thinking About It: January 2022

Fake Rolex So Real You Have to Nerd Up to More than One "Tell" to Tell

Companies in China have been making fake, clone, super fake, ultra copy, counterfeit, knockoff, imitation, bogus, scam copies of Official Luxury items, like ROLEX watches form more than 20 years now & they are getting really good at it. If you are going to buy a used ROLEX watch, I highly recommend watching this video https://youtu.be/P_ZTqC2Yxxs by Watchfinder.co.uk https://www.watchfinder.com

I had this sinking suspicion that I was guilty of vanity, materialistic thinking & information & knowledge idolatry, but really never understood "how" until I was reading Ephesians & Philippians in the Christian Bible, the Amplified version, this morning, with Meg.

Fewer people alive today can actually truly afford a luxury wrist watch & the ones who can are often not interested in buying one! Chip enhanced smart jewelry like the Apple Watch popular with Gen. Y. & most Gen. X & Millennials! Grim outlook for Switzerlands "watch" intensive economy!

Everyone a sinner, flawed & makes mistakes! No one is perfect & no one has all the answers. To question the questions means you are asking a philosophical question about if you really exist or if this life you think is real is actually a simulation plugged directly into your conciseness so that you cannot distinguish this life from the real truth, some mysterious higher dimensional space. Perhaps we are just here living in a recreation of the past, the distant past & our real selves are in the distant future long after Earth's Sun boiled off the oceans & turned Earth into Mars like conditions.

When its really cold outside & your car is frozen & you are not in a big hurry to leave, you can use an electric space heater & an engine block heater to preheat your vehicle.

AC power generation relies on energizing electromagnets in giant generator sets to create an alternating electrical current in metal conductor wires that distribute this push pull through the black hot wire into homes & businesses of all kinds. The net number of electrons lost from that chain are measured by the utility meter in kWh kilowatt hours, which is multiplied by the cost & that's what your utility company uses to charge you an electrical utility bill monthly.

I ordered up a grind stone $19.64 on Amazon, with 1000 & 6000 grit layers to start practicing the art of sharpening knife blades the traditional way. Even included a flattening stone & angle guide!

Experiments & How To Build an Earth Battery

An Earth battery a pair of electrodes made of two dissimilar metals, such as iron & copper, which are buried in the soil or immersed in the sea.

Earth batteries act as water activated batteries and if the plates are sufficiently far apart, they can tap telluric currents. Earth batteries tap a useful low voltage current from telluric currents, and were used for telegraph systems as far back as the 1840s.

The latest & last for this year addition to my wristwatch collection. I have wanted a Tritium H3 illuminated wrist watch ever since I added night sights to my compact polymer EDC device with this technology a few years ago. Made in Switzerland, Designed in Canada // get one at https://www.marathonwatch.com

Shrouded in mystery since "time" an arbitrary abstraction of the continuum, that continual or continuous nature of reality that comprises your life & the lives of other people, animals, insects, fungi, plants, planets, stars & star systems, solar systems; and networks of elements interacting like the cells in your body.

These low friction oil capture gemstone bearings, now typically made of synthetic sapphire, natural rubies & sometimes even diamonds, were invented in 1704 for use in mechanical watches by Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, Peter Debaufre, and Jacob Debaufre, who received an English patent for the idea.

The humble quartz wristwatch movement operating on chemical energy from small button & coil cell batteries,; alkaline, silver oxide & lithium manganese dioxide respectively; came into the world market with devastating economic impacts on the mechanical watch industry, especially in Switzerland!

From the late Ken Schwarz
May his soul rest in peace!

Having previously opened it to change the battery, today I opened it to inspect it! Have a look at the images of the insides :)

I got this watch back around 1999/2000 when I was in high school. A thin analog titanium Skagen s with mesh band :) Today 01/21/2022 at 9:12 pm I changed the battery, a 321 silver oxide SR616SW tiny primary cell by Maxwell of Japan, that powers the No Jewel Myota 1L22 quartz movement.

Some of the nicest & most genuine & sincere people I have ever met & had the pleasure of interacting with are gay. This wonderfully gay man named Chris helps me every time I go to Safeway. He works in the bakery & my mother asks me to get a loaf of bread sliced for her there, so I do, & Chris helps me, every time!

Simple questions like what time is it ? Answers that on the go might seem easy at first. Clocks & their miniaturized versions, wrist watches were no easy feat to invent or manufacture! Precision machining of very small intricate parts that must all fit together with very close tolerance on a device the works reliably #engineering /

Jewel enhanced bearings to reduce friction in the gear-train + hacking & manual winding. An SRP59P9 via Amazon for $243 total gives 100m water resistance, and a sunburst orange color that echos back to a similar paint color applied to a specific Mazda Miata I am very fond of.

A system of many dozens of Satellites orbiting the Earth to send back precision timing signals to calculate position. Multiple nations have launched global sat. nav. systems with chemical rockets & many modern COTS like smartphones have MIMO transceivers to collect signals from different systems to improve spatial resolution or to more precisely acquire the users precise location on Earth.

Anything beyond a basic digital sports wrist watch more about the ownership experience, style or look than telling time, a secondary function to the main act of wearing your bling where others can see it. Flick your wrist up to check the time & others will likely notice "it" reflecting glints of light at them off the shiny screen surface!

A very popular beverage made of plant leaves of (Camellia Senescence) the botanical name for the tea plant. Brewed worldwide by placing these leaves or a filter bag with some of them into a near boiling cup of water to make an infusion. Stimulating because Tea contains caffeine, the main difference between green, white, black & oolong comes down to how oxidized they are from fermentation or the heated drying method.

Smoke alarms with ionization technology utilize a small Americium-241 dioxide button as the ionization source for the smoke chamber detector that is more sensitive to small particles than the optical LED or laser units. I use this button as a test source for my electronic Geiger counter!

Money a form of energy. Energy a form of time. Time costs money. Money can buy time. Electricity & thermal chemical energy from combustion power most systems in the world today. The urgent need to decarbonize driven by the 8 billion humans alive at the same time scale of mankind footprint on nature. We externalize pollution via exhaust emissions generated by combustion the foul the air with toxic pollutions while making climate change worse faster.

By Arianna Huffington in the Foreword of The Go Giver Book "Too often people hear "be a giver" and think of charities & writing checks, of "giving back" once we have already made more money ourselves. But that is only one very specific facet of giving; by "be a giver" Bob & John mean be a giving person, period: one who gives thought, gives attention, gives care, gives focus, gives time & energy- gives "VALUE" to others. Not as a quid pro quo, not as a strategy to get ahead, but because it is, in & of itself, a satisfying & fulfilling way to be (a "go-giver")

While hearing aids tend to amplify or intensify sounds & provide spectral tuning to help patients hear human voice better & to filter out background noise, at the other end of the spectrum is sound suppression, in ear & on ear hearing protection that blocks sounds from reaching your ears, to protect your hearing from high sound pressure levels from loud environments, straight piped engines, power equipment, wind noises while riding motorcycles, loud appliances like vacuum cleaners or loud content or music from other people listening to such nearby, from loud roadways or train tracks or airports.
