I'm looking for a thick boro mug to drink coffee out of that's quality glass made in USA that has zero chance of lead or anything in it that I can get that's kinda affordable. kind of like those $100 corning lab glass mugs on ebay but not rare and safe to drink coffee out of
any help much appreciated! Asking you guys because I'm guessing you all know where to actually get one 😃
I feel like this 38mm watch is too small for my wrists :(
what you guys think?
It's a cheapo watchdives w50d model I got because my spinnaker broke and I wanted something I dont have to set for a few months xD It's made of 316L polished but I would have paid extra for titanium if they had it, or prefer a texture on the steel. It's supposed to be sapphire crystal as well but idk about the bezel being acrylic or not D:
anyway, it feels small next to my 43mm spinnaker :(
It took me years to get this thing built because I built the waterloop out of mostly second hand parts other that GPU blocks and a few fittings, and cheap fans
SPECS:
CPU: 9900k
Mobo: MSI Z370 mobo
GPU: RTX 3090 ROG STRIX
RAM: 32gb Potenza RAM
PSU: Corsair RMX 1000
Case: o11d ROG STRIX
Monitor: ACER Predator 144hz 43 inch 4k
Speakers: Focal Shape 65 and bob carver sub, outlaw sound processor
my audio system I got used for under $650 since we dont count the denon, being un used here at the moment. I repaired some of the equipment my self, and got the studio monitors from a gang banger who thought they were completely toast. my pc was made entirely out of garbage scraps other than the case, cpu, gpu and the gpu blocks and most of the waterloop is from 2014 other than the distroplate I got for $90 instead of $600 msrp.
the thing is, most of these wires will get taught far before you can move them anywhere near being neat and tidy. I'm pretty sure I would have to spend more than half what I paid for the entire audio system to even get long enough cords to make everything tidy.
not only that but I can't seem to come up with a way to get acoustic dampening without breaking my lease because if I even put a nail in my wall I can get evicted. I'm not even allowed to hang pictures :(
chat, what is my actual solution seeing that I got the desk legs for free and literally dragged a duffel bag full of scheduled pipe on the DC metro to even get the desk set up? xD
also, it's been over 2 months since I posted a setup here and there will absolutely be some hater who said I posted yesterday :/
I got some people from r/audiophile who have been borderline stalking me for years and trashing my posts.
it's weird to me that the anologue watch people tried shitting on one of my posts talking about the VH31 movement on a microbrand subreddit that makes cheap watches.
to my knowledge, there is no other smooth sweep hand quartz movement that can be modded into watched other than the vh31 :(

I just ordered a 50 fathoms VH31 and think it's gorgeous looking but I fear it will be too small for my wrists which are almost 8 inches D:
is there any way Watchdives could develop a 42mm which is the size of my broken spinnaker that fits my big wrists perfectly? The actual reason I got the 38mm VH31 was because I love the sweeping hand but also I got tired of setting my watch every few days from my NH35 movement. I haven't gotten a chance to see the fit and finish but from pics, it looks better than most microbrands depending on how well the bezel insert works.
A 42mm 50 fathoms VH31 would sell like wildfire imo, for a lot of people like me who love sweeping hands but also like no fuss of quartz, and you could easily charge $160-180+ for this watch being bigger than your other quartz watches. The original 50 fathoms I believe was 45mm, and 42mm would be a crowd pleaser, because many people like having watches over sized, and it would also allow people with huge wrists to have the only quartz sweeping hand 50 fathoms homage that actually looks like a high dollar watch 😁
Chat, back me up!
so uhh, everything in this setup other than the table top, the pc case, cpu, gpu, some fans, gpu blocks for the gaming rig and a few fittings were all second hand parts.
audio system was barely over 600 lol I replaced a woofer on the focals and some gangbanger thought they were broken because if you plug a laptop in the wall and plug them in the droning is so bad he did in fact blow a woofer, so partially broken, subwoofer had a wiring issue that I fixed up and it actually hits 20hz
the funny part is if I blasted the sound system 4k gaming then I would actually trip my power breaker lol xD
bungee cord chair is there so you can see the setup and my manager chair I got from goodwill is hiding
