Spoony the Pussy One: Life is in the Render Queue

[Kugelfisch]

You'd think a GENIUS of his caliber could figure out how an analog watch works.

To be fair, I can't understand the purpose of the three small dials inside the clock, nor the "Units per Hour" markings one the outside. It probably makes sense on some context, or it's obvious if you see the click working, but from a still picture I can't get it.

It's obvious when you see it running.
The right sub dial is for minutes, the left is hours, the large second hand is for seconds. All of those are for the stopwatch function. The regular seconds are on the small sub dial.
So it can count up to thirty minutes on the right, at which point the hour dial will move half a step, up to twelve hours. When the Daytona came out there were basically no watches that had a 60 minute counter for the chronograph. Even today most don't.

Upper pusher is start and stop, lower is reset and the midle one is the regular crown, of course.
The pushers are screw down pushers, meaning you have to unscrew them before use. It's not water tight otherwise. Thus you can't use the chronograph function under water.
For that you'd need a dive watch. Even if a watch claims to be water tight for 200 BAR that excludes the chronograph function unless it's specifically a diver's watch.

The numbers on the bezel are simple. Start at the first interval, stop at the second and the second hand will point to the frequency. For driving that could be average speed. Stop it after exactly one mile or km and you'll have your average mph or km/h.

Fun fact: That's a Rolex Daytona, as mentioned. You can just go and buy that one right now. But if you want a steel one instead of one in precious metal you won't get one or have to pay a massive premium on the gray market. Not just Nintendo can do artificial scarcity.

It's not like his trash makes it to the can, let alone the curb.

This. The suggestion to go through somebody's trash is as creepy as our resident Kurugami, but the actual hillarious thing about it is that you probably wouldn't find anything, because he just lives among his trash, it's the only company he can tolerate.

In other words, it's a piece of shit that's just for status, so rich people can flex. I'm reminded of the American Psycho business card scene. At least business cards aren't expensive to make, even the luxurious ones...

Funny enough buying a rolex would have been a better investment for Spoony instead of sinking his "life savings" into a house that he just lost. He still would be a lazy fuck with no job but a lazy fuck with a $30K watch that he could turn to cash in no time without losing any value.

A lot of collectibles are worth actual money. Shame idiots like DSP insist on buying everything digitally and Spoony drinks his money away. Just about any luxury product is going to be worth something when you decide to part with it. If you pay a reasonable purchase price, you'll probably get most of your money back, if not all. You might even profit. I doubt Spoony can say he's ever experienced that.

He ought to have sold that house when he first started getting behind on payments. He could have closed out, picked up and used whatever cash was left after the sale to put down on a smaller place. But his ego couldn't handle it, so he'll be left with nothing.

I said this when he first got that house, years ago, but what the fuck did one person need with a big-ass house like that? Why buy space you won't fucking use? Even with April there, they didn't need more than 1 bedroom and 2 baths at most.

Spoony's such a dumbass. Of course he could be smart if he was humble and actually studied things. His hubris makes him think he knows everything, or at least knows everything worth knowing. The guy is Dunning Krugger effect in action.

He had an entire room dedicated to his Counter Monkey set. All we ever got from it was a #Depression pic.

We can only speculate, but I can definitely see the appeal of a McMansion to suburbanite idiots like Noah and April who think big = better. They have no sense and taste and fools and their money are easily parted. Just imagine if someone actually made real houses rather than cheap mcmansions?

Yeah, one of the industry's favorite lines is that McMansions and most single family homes built with the same mentality are designed to last exactly the length of a 30 year mortgage and not a day longer. It was built in 2002 so do the math: within 10 years, if by some miracle he lasted that long, this thing was going to start falling down around him. These two retards couldn't even buy a small hatchet and rope from Target and take care of a dead tree. These houses are destined to look like Chris Chan lived in them.

They're fast food version of houses: overpriced and all flash but no substance. I have noticed that the new houses just look flat out cheap. They have brick outer walls but I don't think the bricks really hold anything up and are just for show, and the bricks look cheap on top of that. My house was built I want to say in the 30's or 40's and it's a real red brick house. This thing can stay up for centuries if kept taken care of.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Do these houses even use real bricks?

And of course can proper houses last a fucking long time. We have half-timbered houses over here that are older than your silly excuse of a country.
