Serious question. I’m a huge NFL fan, but I got deep into the World Cup and it completely warped my perception of pacing.

I was just watching the Patriots vs Colts preseason and the speed of the game was so off. Between the huddles, the resets, and the constant breaks, it felt so slow.

I know preseason football is always a sloppy slog, but man, the contrast was crazy. Anyone else experience this transition or does your brain just adjust once the regular season speed kicks in?

My neighbor has just gotten into building or rather assembling watches from Aliex parts. He looked pretty badass doing it and the outcome was quite nice.

So I get on AliExpress and start buying all sorts of dials, hands, cases, movements - the works. My buddy was kind enough to let me borrow his screwdrivers, tweezers and tools for the build. Everything arrived and now I have a problem. Even with 20x magnification it's infinitely tiny and I have to hold it so close to my face. How the hell do you guys do this? Is it just a matter of getting better magnification loupe or what? Thanks for your help. I have normal vision and don't wear glasses.
