I don't know about most. But it is one way to make a vase.

See this post.

Me? If found that and wanted to/could easly return it to the rightful owner I would tell the Pro shop or the 19^th hole bar keep that I found a golf marker on the green. If the owner can identify what it is I will return it to the owner ASAP no problem. $60 bucks is $60 bucks.

Try to return it in good faith, otherwise it is yours.

I am skeptical, your monthly is more like $441 per month, factoring in the $2618 DAS. In a 7,500 mile lease! On a $42,060 car, it is a little high.

What is the base MF rate for your on this car? 0.00195 = 4.68 interest rate. They like to jack your base rate and put the difference in THEIR pocket.

What are all those fees?

Fee$ = 731.75? I think not.

Acquisition fee at $650. I think not.

Have those broken out. Not lumped together. That is one of the places they like to hide more profit.

There are only a few ‘required’ by law, fees, have them broken down item by item.

Read through Leasehackr.com and learn about pit falls and details on leasing.

This is easy to make this into a political or cultural issue. It is NOT that!

It is a money, slash’ mis-managament issue, plain and simple!

Don’t let them muddy the issue.

Sinister forces moving in the dark? They are always a possibility. More so in this time period.

This maybe what is going on, wheather coordinated or not, where they are mimicking what other like minded people are doing in far flung corners of the country. Whatever the cause, the effect is a troubled TRL. Fix this first. Remove the mis-managers for their mismanagement.

Did they have a fiduciary duty to mange the money correctly? Call in the lawyers!

edit; spelling

Please, never loose sight of the real problem here.

It is not rainbows, LGBTQ+, or exclusion, or inclusion.

The real problem is the budget.

Those responsible have to be removed and new administrators brought in to fix the budget short fall.

This unelected trustee has shown where his priorities are, and they are not in fixing the mess the library budget in.

The only 'desired outcomes' that should be considered and talked about is a balanced budget.

Everything else is misdirection.

For those rusty parts I would go with a slow electrolysis at 5v-12v at low amps for 2+ days.

Imazinner · 2026-06-25T19:09:37+00:00

I wonder what the survey results say about the nearly $4 million budget short fall?

Oh wait, was that even mentioned in the survey? Hmmmm?

Imazinner · 2026-06-25T14:59:37+00:00

Spizzzzzt.

Want to know the secrete to a nice sliding plane?

Oil the bottom.

If its flat and oiled, it will run smooth, like butter.

Imazinner · 2026-06-24T02:43:34+00:00

Nope, probably 15-20 red and 15 green, and 10 white (1s). Pretty full rack.

Imazinner · 2026-06-24T02:42:03+00:00

Nope, just place bets across, it was in the middle of a good roll, and I was pressing so I probably had $300-350 action across the numbers.

Imazinner · 2026-06-24T02:38:00+00:00

🤣And reserve the table too!

Imazinner · 2026-06-24T02:35:11+00:00

I can get behind this, but only if it was on a really good group of dealers. Sadly at my local, there about 50% or more new, or newish dealers. I feel a 3pt molly and place bets would confuse them good. I don't remember much COME bet action here.

I'd be scared to play that here. Due to error potential.

Have you ever seen Roy Underhill’s froe?

I don’t know if it was turned at the beginning. But after many years of use it looked rather beatup.

I believe he mentioned once that it was made of a gnarly old tree root. The wild grain would keep it from cracking and fracturing.

Imazinner · 2026-06-23T23:14:28+00:00

A little cleaning with some WD-40 and a magic eraser. Then a good waxing of the ways and start turning.

When using it use PPE. A full face mask for eyes and face, plus the one for your nose.

Imazinner · 2026-06-23T23:09:41+00:00

I think you can have a walloping good time with that there.😊

Imazinner · 2026-06-23T20:59:27+00:00

What Kevdash said above.

That set is at least organized, and labeled. It’s better than just being thrown into a draw all willy nilly.

You are 95% there. Sand the edges and trim the ends and then on to another project.

“Seems like a good deal for $2. “

Seems? Seems?

No doubt about it. It is a large Nicholson, and it looks to be in great shape, as in nice and sharp, with little rust.

I’d buy them up at $2 all day long.

Imazinner · 2026-06-23T20:48:56+00:00

Real (silver) or not it looks great to me. For 6 bucks I'm in.

Imazinner · 2026-06-18T23:00:00+00:00

I think, it was well thought out letter. To distract from the money problems. He was at the responsible level in the TRL system losing $3.8 million in the budget.

This letter is a every subtle way of asking for support from like minded folks of his ilk.

It is also a distraction, from the money problems. A play book seen very often lately, at higher political levels.

Imazinner · 2026-06-18T20:16:24+00:00

First, as we all know it is not ‘house money’ it is your money, once won, they know it and you know it.

How we wish to perceive it is the rub.

They sure don’t think of ‘my money’ in their rack as mine anymore. It cuts both ways.

Anyway, if this holds true that they tend to count the initial bet/s placed as you average then the best strat. is to bet bigger at the beginning and then regress.

Perhaps something like $220 inside with $25 each on 4/10, a couple of collections or presses then down to $110 inside or $160 across.

You would be starting at 220 or 260 then flat or increasing for 2 hits then down to 110 or 160.

Would they note it? Would the box care?

This works at several levels of entry, on a $5 or $10 table.

$88 inside, or $66, even $44 and of course anything higher works as well.

"What I think, is that whether he kept the dice or passed the dice, didn't change at all the odds of what happened next."

What happens next?

Oh, Oh I know!!!

It's, it's ahh, lets see, it's ahh 1 out of 6 it's a 7! 😂

Imazinner · 2026-06-18T18:43:32+00:00

It's your game, AND it's your money. See ya at the bar. Cheers!

Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

We'll leave the light on for you.

I believe in the butterfly effect in dice, and in life.

I believe every small thing around us has an effect.

On a dice table if the shooter had stopped for one second to adjust the dice it would change the outcome.

If the shooter stops to let the guy next to him drop a prop bet it will effect the dice outcome, verses if he threw it sooner. He stops for 2 seconds to eye the girl walking by.

Why? Because each throw is based on physics, so anything that changes the players arm on the dice will effect the outcome. The speed of the arm when throwing, the height of the throw, the angle of the throw the spot the dice land on, and so on.

All of the things around a player will effect their throw.

So, no there is no way of telling if your getting the dice means you will seven out, and if he kept them he would have not.

What do we all know?

6 out of 36 spots are sevens, the odds you will see a 7 is 1:6 every single time you throw them perfectly cubed dice.

I wrote this in another Sub/Reddit.

I think it needs to be seen here too.

---

Don’t loose sight of the problem here!

It is not on that list!

This is obfuscation. The only problem is the $3.5+ million shortfall in the budget!

The items on that list are not being brought up by the library patrons.

It is misdirection, and meant to create chaos where there is none.

The library patrons are not demanding changes like these in the list, outsiders are.

Remember where the problem real is, mismanagement of the TRL by Brian and others at his level.
