  • You can get a watch repair kit on Amazon that will have the tools to remove the pins between the links.

    I’ve also had luck going to a department store with a jewelery counter and seeing if they can make adjustments. Especially if it’s a brand of watch they carry, you can always say someone got it as a gift for you from that chain of stores.



  • Traffic enforcement and red light cameras. I used to be very opposed to them, but I’ve since come to appreciate the absurdity of America’s car central culture.

    Additionally, traffic stops by police disproportionately effect minorities and lead to escalations and other issues, while taking away enforcement capacity from more important things.

    I still don’t think the cameras should necessarily be run by private, for profit entities. Nor would I really want cameras that ticket you if you go 1 mph over. But in general I’m much less opposed to the idea than I used to be.


  • Both my kids (4 and 7) use fire tablets and we have the subscription with it to get them access to lots of free apps.

    I put memory cards in both, as what they come with is insufficient. The older versions we had were a little janky, but we haven’t really had any issues with the current ones.

    The parental controls could be better but work okay. In the kids version of the interface you don’t really see ads, just app recommendations. Some of the apps still have gated content, but it hasn’t really been an issue.
