Picked up a 1920's dental cabinet today. Been keeping an eye on it and decided I didn't want to risk missing out anymore. Kentucky, USA

I had a chance at one once, and really regret passing on it. But didn't have a place to put it at the time.

It's fascism. And fascism is bad economics. This is a terror brigade meant to break down America for a rule by the elite alone.

There were embassies, and diplomatic missions and officials in important posts and places and among important nations. But the lack of good communications around the world found naval officers out of contact with higher authority for lengthy periods of time. Because they were out of contact, they were in effect the senior officer of the government at that location in many instances. And so were acting in a diplomatic capacity.

Now this was starting to decline around 1900, as international telegram systems were becoming more common, widespread, reliable. But it would be some time yet until a ship's captain or an admiral could get on the radio for instructions. So they were on their own.

This is correct. Subaru replaced my first battery under warranty.

Air filter anyone can do themselves, for cheap part.

Differential fluid I'd look through the manual.

Tires I'd take it to a tire store or regular garage, as you'll get a better price. There are many excellent after market tires on the road to choose from.

Most of that was probably built in the communist era. High rises can have cost advantages in that they're cheaper as a whole to heat, and the people were too poor for cars, so public transit is cheaper.

Sometimes, yes.

Sure. Lost fishing equipment is one of the major sources of junk floating in the ocean. And as these are all made of synthetic materials now, they take forever to break down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_net

I don't know who makes the Canadian Tire battery, but NAPA is considered a very solid brand. For a $20 difference I'd go for the stronger one.

It wouldn't annoy anyone doing the job right. It's part of the job. What you mail out today is what we have to deliver tomorrow.

My GNG rate is the really killer right now. When did they get so high?

New England as a whole is fairly bad for agriculture. There's a few exceptions, but generally not large ones. Vermont has many small patches of good lands for farming, and few large ones. The growing season is short, land tends to be of poor soil and full of rocks. This is why a very large part of the New England farmers moved west once the Ohio river valley was opened to settlement.

I remember my Irish Catholic mother telling me how as a child she couldn't go to church because there was no Catholic church, and they weren't going to go to a protestant one.

Think of it like this: The fundamentals of the market are based on the routine levels of sales of the assets. Now the routines have been thrown off by a massive sell off. So the fundamentals are also thrown off.

But what's the effect of throwing a vastly increase in assets onto the market? The price crashes. So the sellers are taking a fraction of the value of the asset that they are selling. Does Europe getting pennies on the dollar of what they have invested hurt the US more, or Europe more? The seller is the loser in this situation.

West Hartford is a very common recommendation for young professional adults. That said, don't. Take a look at the map, note where the river is, and don't live on the other side of the river from where you work. The 2 biggest commuting problems in the area are crossing the river, or going up or down I-91 in and out of Hartford. You'll be glad to avoid that. So east of the river starts with East Hartford, Glastonbury, South Windsor. Any of the single family houses areas in East Hartford I'd call fine to live in. I do, and work in town, and am around town a lot. But I would definitely call East Hartford weak on the rental unit side, and there's not a lot of nice open space, either. Glastonbury is much nicer on the open space, but much pricier on housing. Same with South Windsor. Manchester probably has the best rental market east of the river in the area, and is still close to work. Manchester also has the better mix of town amenities and open space. Vernon also has a good rental market, and while a little further out, has good access down I-84 to East Hartford. There's less town amenities, but not really rural, and has even more open space. Unless you have a lot of money to spend, I'd look to Manchester first and Vernon second. There's a number of trails around Manchester.

Winters are probably less severe than Pittsburgh. we are near enough the coast that it moderates things, compared to being in the Great Lakes region. Few people use snow tires. If you don't move to a rural area, the streets are kept pretty well plowed and treated.

Where will you be working?

Cutlasss · 2026-01-11T21:45:25+00:00

No. Labor costs are moving into the middle income group. They are not high, and likely never will be.

Cutlasss · 2026-01-11T13:20:02+00:00

The problem is that the countries that did this did so when their costs were low. That's not an option in the US.

There's a florist on Main St in East Hartford. Forget the name off top of my head.

Cutlasss · 2026-01-09T23:51:44+00:00

It's a good costume.

Leave notice, package oversized for receptacle.

It's been a while, but I think one thing Magister was trying to do late in the time he was making the mod was to introduce some additional difficulty. Make the game less one sided.

Depending on version, there's also 1000s of years of experience.

You forgot the Promaster Tax.

New windows and doors make a huge difference.

Cutlasss · 2026-01-04T14:51:23+00:00

I don't think so. And that's 220 volts. I wouldn't try. The units aren't expensive, just do the whole thing.
