If you like quartz watches that expose their circuitry, you'll definitely enjoy some of Accutron's watches: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-accutron-314

While usually not on display, the quartz movements of Grand Seikos are beautifully finished:

I think it's pretty clear that China isn't going to bail them out like how the US bailed out our failed companies back in 2008.

China cares more about protecting the homebuyers and contractors who are building the homes more than protecting the investors [0][1]:

> Evergrande has almost 800 projects across China, many of them funded by advance payments from homebuyers.

> Local governments have ringfenced homebuyer deposits and other funds to ensure that Evergrande projects in their jurisdiction are completed and contractors paid on time.

So this is a much different reaction than the US government who protected the investors and banks.

This is great for people who want to improve their speed but also already know how to touch type.

In the past three months, I've used these typing game websites and increased my average typing speed from around 80 WPM to 100 WPM.

Some other typing games are 10fastfingers [0] and typerush [1].

If you don't already know how to touch type (i.e. you currently use two fingers to chicken peck), it's best to break that habit by learning to touch type.
