It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun

I must say that between my speakers playing music i listen the news and there is only one hour indicated on my watch: midnight exactly...

The only watch i want  by the way is the miniaturized Antikythera Mechanism:

A rolex is too cheap for me and way less expansive and the hour indicated by any watch will be the same on earth really soon it seems...😊

This mechanism discovery changed history and give us a snippet about our own past ignorance... And a glimpse in some Archimedes genius or in some of his disciples...

I think so....Music is better with candles or at least Himalayan salt lamp...No watches survey when listening...

My best to you

Hello @mahgister,

Yes my good friend! Candles are positively absolutely hands down without doubt a requirement.

I had bitten only my wife one time but she come from Medusa daughters lineage and i was transformed in some living stone... I bit no more...Nobody ever died anyway save vampires... 😊

I apologize and will stay quiet to not disturb your thread... 😁

Maan sometimes I think you are Vertinsky who met Count Dracula!

Please fill out the following questionarie:

1. Did you try to bite someone and see if the bite turned one to be immortal?

2. Do you see your mirror reflection?

If you’ve answered YES to any of the two questions, you’re the one -- congrats on immortality bonus.

😉😊

A great french scholar wrote a book called "the flame of a candle " Gaston Bachelard...

I think that the "flame of candle " is even better that an hourglass to go out of time  and flow with it...

Then a candlestick can help us to reach immortality consciousness...

@mahgister

I don’t think I’m onto exchanging Rolex Daytona with an hourglass even if it’s Faberge-vintage, but if you have in mind the one that can bring back time... hmmm... maybe I’ll finally agree to exchange.

An hourglass is to a watch what the world is to a book...

We read the book of the world without knowing that it is the only book we are in and reading it at the same times...

We dont look at a number indicating an abstract hour with an hourglass as with a watch , we flow ourself with time, knowing that we can also "stop" time by reversing the hourglass with an act of free will... Then time  may come back to his source...

Time become a superstition as the world itself become an idolatry if we forget that we read them as we wish it at the end ...

«The fact that my wife wait for me for dinner is not the result of any superstition but certainly result from some form of well placed idolatry»-- Groucho Marx 🤓

To stick on the Thread matter, i only buy pocket watch because i cannot put anything around my wrist, it annoy me...😁

And i buy the best value : chinese 1 bucks battery pocket watch from aliexpress...I stick one on my bike and i put another in my pocket...😁

Watch as dac are sometimes very overpriced....

The only watchs i really like are hourglass models...

They can be more expansive than rolex...😊

One hourglass from the Medicis or from Leonardo Da Vinci for example...

To see time flowing we need an hourglass...I prefer one hour duration hourglass then big one...

i understand you for sure even if i dont do it myself...

And i apologize for my "snubbish intellectual " post and as usual my too serious mood in your humorous thread.....😁

I was too  happy to take the occasion to talk "books"... 😊

@maghister,

As soon as I got ca$h, I buy...

I do buy musical artifacts. I prefer for instance Rolex or Patek instead of cash. Sometimes I like diamonds and certainly do like firearms, not because of their violent nature, but because of their overall value.

It is better to buy a real significant book with a new insight than a Rolex...I will be ashamed to own one as i will be ashamed to own any "flashy" deLuxe object ... Why not the first corvette model? Or better a Bugatti 1934 ?

i just can suggest two completely different life changing books anyway , one about mammals and the other about the mathematics of artificial consciousness...

I can be a "snob" too...And i want to see if you had curiosity out of Rolex...

😊😉

It seems most people think they had see and know what a mammal is and they dont give a damn about artificial consciousness ... They all want a Rolex ...But perhaps not "most" only some...

This "thread" is the right place to describe these two books , amazing life changer, for anyone ready to read them for sure... 😁

If you prefer i can recommend a changing life book about sounds....Not a recipe book a fundamental disturbing deep book...

I only buy books and music...No Rolex...
