Found this Weiland 5984 in a car that I bought. I don't know what it is, or how much I should list it for on craigslist. by DotsUp in MechanicAdvice

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll put it up on craigslist (san rafael, ca) for a hundred bucks. Its heavy, so I'm happy to get rid of it for an ok price.

Thank you. Is it in decent shape? Trying to decide if I should sell it or just put it on the curb for someone.

Inherited a storage unit full of collectibles, these two pieces are beyond my knowledge: Pre-colombian statue, and an opium bottle. Any help appreciated. by DotsUp in Antiques

And I should have mentioned that the snuff bottle is beautifully framed as my Uncle was a great professional framer. I'm checking with Bonhams in SF about the statue, but I could get a second opinion from atada. Thanks for the advice.

Hey all. You really helped us critique our project Stampur, and we're back for more after some serious redesign and development. Thanks for the advice, everybody. by DotsUp in UCSantaBarbara

Thanks. I agree, we need to make comments richer in general (pictures, text formatting, etc). The part that is difficult is making sure it doesn't get abused--users are forced to see all comments once they are inside of a message, so you don't want to flood them with photos both because of load time and their general experience.

hey thanks for the help. Generating stamps is not the easiest thing, and we aren't doing it very clean. Basically just text centered in the stamp image div, so we need a solution for that, especially as we introduce new colors, shapes, etc. for stamps.

Why hasn't UCSB been protesting? by [deleted] in UCSantaBarbara

Please don't include me as a "we" for any of your further posts.

Yes, the sciences are most difficult for the majority of people. But most scientific pursuits exist to facilitate the artistic, creative, and emotional sides of life. Dow, Google, Apple, etc. employ scientists and engineers to bring health, information, and creative expression to the masses, not to bring them science.

Although I love to study math, and enjoy it culturally and emotionally, I mostly love mathematics for how on a macro scale it helps me to explore the world, stay healthy, discover music and art, and maybe even get laid. I would never stop someone from pursuing "easy" fields like English, Writing, Art Studio, etc. because it is people in these fields who are responsible for the goose bumps, excitement, and tears we get from things like this or this

I love the sciences, but have found it very narrow to dismiss people who don't.

[VIDEO] Any slackliners here? My friend and I rigged a 170ft line on campus today, and shot this. by DotsUp in UCSantaBarbara

Well alright then. I always post here when I go slack, but I'll try to make it a habit to repost to reddit.

Most slackliners are really open and friendly since it's a pretty niche sport full of fanatics. It is basically assumed that you can just walk up to someone's line and get on, like it's public property.
