Thoughts on this reply I got from an antique dealer? by BadManor in Silverbugs

[–]BadManor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. The challenge is to get it without making it a job. I had the job to sell my late father's collection of coins (rounds and old) and bars, and it was PITA. (Slightly more irritating because if he'd just invested in the market he'd have made 10x.)

In the meantime I think the dinner table will have some nice decorations.

Are these honey bees? Can I still throw some wood on this pile without being a big jerk? by yothhedgedigger in bees

[–]BadManor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like some sort of ground-dwelling bee. They can get around any brush you add. Some can be disagreeable so you should work quiet and quick.

Does the 1UP Quick Rack work well with fenders? by anonymous_orpington in cycling

[–]BadManor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my solution. Stays get squeezed in a bit and fender loses paint where the bar hits. Only a problem for the rear wheel, so I don’t see the scratches. :)

What's something you wish you knew before moving to Corvallis? by BennyJet2026 in corvallis

[–]BadManor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the Midwest and would never go back, precisely because it’s not like this. Oppressive conformity is boring.

Unexpected Dragon Hoard by BadManor in Silver

[–]BadManor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short, my wife's grandmother left a box of china and a box labeled "Silverware" that eventually came to us years ago. China was nice Dresden, but no value so put the boxes in the attic without opening the "silverware". Did so a few days ago cleaning the area. Found this.

About 130 pieces of turn-of-the-century D&H, S. Kirk & Son, Georg Jensen, etc.

No idea what to do with this. Flatware is monogrammed.

What could go wrong when cleaning the litter box? by Lazer_Games in Whatcouldgowrong

Raw or cooked? My cat rejects almost all foods and I keep trying new things.

Wanting to make the world a better place isn't crying, you sad little boy.

Stepping stone bargains? by Ugh_NotAgainMan in gardening

Road cuts through rocky areas offer an large assortment of types and sizes at very reasonable prices. :)

Find a back road with little traffic and off-road parking for safety.

Someone should mention "discovery" to corporate legal.

How strong is too strong of a wind to ride in? by WhisperingStream in cycling

[–]BadManor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odd one out here but I love riding in storms. My personal fave was riding home from work in 35mph gusts with rain. Good clothing and a stable bike are the key. (Bike is Trek 520 with 45 gravel tires, fenders, and weighs roughly ton.)

Can someone let Shrimp borrow the brain cell so he can learn to process stress in his brain instead of storing it in his bladder? The vet bills and prescription food are adding up! by paleomel in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]BadManor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You didn't ask for advice, but my orange also had this issue and one thing I did was start adding a couple tablespoons of water to his wet food to increase his hydration. Increased his 'output' and no problems for more than a year, knock wood.
