It has had various model numbers, such as LA11WB-1. Look for terms like "Casio Women's Timer Watch". The key thing to look for is the line of numbers above the LCD: 30 20 15 10 5 3 1 If that line isn't there, it isn't one of the special ones. They also sell ones that look a bit more snazzy. (like faux chrome). https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LA11WB-1-Sport-Black/dp/B000GB1RBY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3U418CTWMCSOG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.las5VB5FuBdC9bzgyIxqNJmdaLo586psWerN9mn0DPCNJWgKn6yiRdrayw7Bst2wWosG0PyoI9l0ip2p6AiXvpws-jzE-Sjv1vX1hVsy4pjZR-4V9BU8KunrIVJrupv6PgthppgBEs7h3qCSARTW01um4lkQRlcOqSnzNSOVJ-QXhUc73LRqfrIsWb0IEuJi_ClgtJORZKh1OA-UpKa3gVnuvvf3wtEPyJEBCZ4oSoSAf-cIAPKo0G0FVPkmYSen_rNuwUs_3PghXCjTohSl4qs5ihWbjGbZ-bnOmNj2ULk.i8h4u9rrmVNOFnSWZF9jNMKKbf7LgcKFtrwa7w8dB9k&dib_tag=se&keywords=Casio+women%27s+watch+with+timer&qid=1783301728&sprefix=casio+women%27s+watch+with+timer%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-1 npub19tkute59ktp2aj20una9ndg8jhtv2f0jwalfw3azmpc4uaym0plq23gu69 Number6 :syncthing: @nprofile…nsqt Had a discussion the other day.

They did this over the objections of tens of thousands of their users. Two years later and their desktop usage had dropped to about 5%. In marketing, you never turn yourself into a commodity, but that is exactly what they did. It's the total tone-deafness of their "leadership" that is disturbing. npub19tkute59ktp2aj20una9ndg8jhtv2f0jwalfw3azmpc4uaym0plq23gu69 Number6 :syncthing: @nprofile…cl62 My Buienradar has a button for 3/8/(12)/24h.

It's enough of a niche that it's not going to make a difference one way or the other.

The implication is that the non-voters concur with the voters' choice, indicating about 50% of adults prefer these policies. It doesn't have to be a landslide. The fact that 50% of the population think religion and authoritarianism are good, is really sad. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/26/nx-s1-5447450/trump-2024-election-non-voters-coalition npub19tkute59ktp2aj20una9ndg8jhtv2f0jwalfw3azmpc4uaym0plq23gu69 Number6 :syncthing: @nprofile…kyza Lots of people want to believe that god is on their side. And apparently lots of people want a dictatorial, daddy-like authoritarian in office, it keep them safe, and to control "those" people. Based on recent elections, this about 50% of the population. Maybe xenophobia and superstition are built into our genes. npub19tkute59ktp2aj20una9ndg8jhtv2f0jwalfw3azmpc4uaym0plq23gu69 Number6 :syncthing: @nprofile…l5m6 Just to be clear, he wasn't hunting elephants (this time). It was antelopes. It sees to me that hunting with a high-power, long distance weapon isn't actually very sporting. It doesn't say anything about your personal attributes or capabilities. It just says that you own a piece of kit. Better to do it the old-fashioned way, chasing the antelope in the hot sun for kilometers until either you or it finally collapse in exhaustion. npub19tkute59ktp2aj20una9ndg8jhtv2f0jwalfw3azmpc4uaym0plq23gu69 Number6 :syncthing: @nprofile…9nec I registered and signed up for a site for a family member as a birthday present.

Where the paper manufacturer would spray effluent into the back woods, so that it could filter cleanly into the well water system. Surprisingly, MI has (or at least had), oil wells on private land. You don't associate MI with oil, but apparently there is some. npub19tkute59ktp2aj20una9ndg8jhtv2f0jwalfw3azmpc4uaym0plq23gu69 Number6 :syncthing: @nprofile…kn67 I imagine you get to practice just by living where you are. Well, listening at least. Meanwhile, I'm on my second pass through the #Dutch course. It peaks out at 60, which is about halfway to full fluency, per Luis.

In variolation, a needle or sharp object was used to transfer material from people with cowpox to healthy individuals. This process apparently dates back hundreds of years.

Does this mean that it doesn't need the ablative tiles used on the NASA Shuttle and on most space capsules since the 1950's ? Like, can parachutes actually function at those initial thin-air conditions, and if so, why isn't everyone doing it? If you *can* use parachutes, why not use it on the lift engines as well?

It seems to run contrary to the principle of Dutch thriftiness. You are effectively burning money. Thinking about sovereignty ... where are all those cigarettes produced, and by whom?

Every shopping trip meant a physical trip. Every bill paid using paper and pen. Every complication, every travel arrangement, meant stuck in phone heck waiting for a response.

I'd rather have real results now then wait another 30 years while politicians fight about the huge expense. One of the better uses for #AI is to send semi-autonomous devices to locations around the solar system.
