For YEARS and years and years my dad wore a watch with a radium dial. There is now a watch-sized area on his wrist where hair doesn't grow, tho he no longer wears a watch at all. Coincidence? I remember loving to stare at it super close .... I wonder if/how that affected my eyes. hmmmm
🫣 I just received my order of my Kala Pocket Sundial. The instruction booklet is ... 🔬. So I came to TH-cam. You had a serious face holding one of these sundials soooo.... 😏 I don't know any more about my product... but i want to see if you have more ... informative... videos. 🤭 Thank you for the giggle.
Well I now am the proud owner of a sundial watch so for the next 10 billion years I will be able to discern the time , give or take an hour for daylight savings. I think it’s destined to hang from my cars rear view mirror. I have to admit after a morning of tutorials on how to use this thing, it wasn’t till your ending comments that I realized it’s one major limitation. 🤦♂️
If the Kala Pocket Sundial is actually available I'd like to have one. I just learned that the gnomon has to be parallel with the earth's axis. I would like to find Polaris which is about 1° away from geographic north.
Every time I go to London I have to go to Greenwich observatory ! I am amazed at the story of the FIRST marine chronometer made by a carpenter called Harrison I think?
Most people chose this video for useful information on how to use what appears to be a cleaver little device. Instead we got jokes. Five wasted minutes.
I had hoped that because neither the video title nor the blurb gives any indication that I was going to show you how to use the kala - and because you’d need to disregard both the written instructions and Kala’s own videos before coming to mine - or because my intentions become very obvious in the first minute; that this would not be an issue. But I had not accounted for the unstoppable power of the human mind. As the self-appointed representative of the majority of my viewers, I offer you an apology, and will cut off two of my fingers as recompense (Also just set the latitude to your nearest city, point it at the sun, and adjust for daylight savings etc 👍 )
I cannot believe how few likes this has after a year. What is wrong with people?! This is a very thorough and hilarious.
My social media manager advises me that in the 2023, videos need to be 0.5 seconds or less to hold the attention of a modern viewer
I'm more of artisanal radium ink girl myself. Mine works in the dark and has a lifetime guarantee! 😊
I’m hoping they will release an artisanal radium ink edition of the kala so that I can use it at night
@@Dangermorris exactly what I was thinking! 😂

Not a big seller in the UK, I'm guessing.
That is because they haven’t seen my review yet…

Just doing my duty, citizen

It’s a real product but you may struggle to find Polaris with it as it’s quite hard to operate at night
@@Dangermorris Thanks. I just finished watching another video on how to find it. I'm going to wait for a clear night.
It’s about five saucepan lengths away from Old Man Saucepan

Instead find your local latitude and put the gnomon to that angle. For true North get the magnetic declination for your area.
It's available. I just got one, along with the "nocturnal" for telling time at night.

You don’t have to, John. You are a free man. Resist the microchip.
Gorgeous man! 😍😍😍
Easy there, Brian, I’m spoken for

@ Sundial aside, your video was pretty funny and creative. Have a good day!
Well, Jesus, wish you’d said that before I cut two of my fingers off

@@Dangermorris 😂. Heal thyself.
I rather want one.
Then my job here is done
I wonder if you pocket sax, minimalist wallet and pocket watch can peacefully co-exist 🤔
Not only do they coexist but I often wonder how I ever managed without them!
intp aspie?
No, I’m a Gemini
Good.
😂
Useless
Gnomon says that about my watch!
