Wait I always use a fuckton of raw garlic in my hummus and it's fuckin delicious
Please, I do need this recipe. For reasons.
Agreed. Maybe there should be an option in the settings to enable/disable them automatically.
Linux or Windows?
As for your questions:
- this CPU will be fine for years for absolutely everything except AAA gaming.
- On Linux, 16Gbs of RAM is fine. As other said, prefer 2x8Gb instead of a single 16Gb.
- 250Gb of storage is very cramped by modern standards. I would go at least 512Gb. Buy your SSD from elsewhere, it's much cheaper.
- maybe grab an extra USB-C in case you need to plug an external drive while charging your PC.
Haha yeah I can't do concise, thanks ADHD.
Just make sure the case either fits a 28.5mm dial or takes a standard chapter ring. That's probably the only caveat. Parts from the reputable shops are guaranteed to fit so it might be more reassuring to start there. Parts on AliExpress need careful examination of the listing and customer pictures.
Also, grab a couple extra stems just in case.
Thanks!
It's not that hard really. I made about half a dozen Seiko 5 mods and small repairs with basic tools.
I'd say:
- Get a cheap watchmakers toolkit, it's more than enough for this purpose, plus some good wire cutters, Rodico watchmakers putty and lint free cotton pads for nail polish.
- get familiar with the terminology so you know what to look for and which ones you need (eg. movement, stem, crown, dial, hands, chapter ring, case, crystal, bezel, bezel insert etc.)
- because the Seiko 5 modding scene is huge, start with a cheap standard Seiko movement like an NH35 or NH36, and search for compatible case, dial and hands. Most aftermarket dials are the Seiko 5 standard 28.5mm, so most hands and cases assume this diameter.
- A good starting point would be an SKX007 base as it was the king of modding. Unfortunately, like all "real" Seiko 5s, it's not made anymore, but there are a truckload of compatible parts in a infinity of styles still being made, including cases.
- you can get cheap but random quality parts on AliExpress, or very high quality but rather expensive parts at reputable online shops like Dagaz Watch, DLW Watches, Namoki Mods or Lucius Atelier.
- The hardest part by far is fitting the hands, especially the seconds hand, the rest is trivial in comparison. Even cutting the stem to length.
- There are video tutorials everywhere on YouTube to help you on the nontrivial bits (inserting and removing the stem, fitting the crown, fitting the hands etc).
Don't hesitate to ask more questions ;)
I favor Tenrai too. I like my ships nimble and balanced 😅
Thank you!
Watches and coffee, name a more iconic duo :D
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm pretty happy with the transparencies tbh. Although on mine, there seems to be two sides, one that gives a fuzzy dirty effect with a lot of stray toner around the actual print (looks like static), and the other side that gives perfectly crisp prints. Unfortunately I can't really tell the sides apart.
Apart from that small speck of dust that prevented the transfer at the top left of the logo, the sheet came out perfectly clean, the totality of the toner was transferred to the dial. For PCB transfers where you could probably keep the sheet intact (I had to cut mine to fit between the applied indices), that would also mean the sheet would be almost indefinitely reusable.
Thank you so much!
I moved my SSD from my old 8th gen Intel laptop to my brand new Zen 4 Framework 16. It was absolutely uneventful. Almost disappointing 😅
