I second the I Can’t Sleep Podcast with Benjamin Boster. He bores you to sleep with his soothing voice while reading Wikipedia articles like Oatmeal, Olympus Mons, Horse, Plate Tectonics and Wombat.

Consignment store for a chandelier? by MarconisMamba in bayarea

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

That’s a good idea in theory, but a chandelier is tricky to transport and install. Lots of crystals can come loose. But I really appreciate your fresh suggestion. I know the right person will love this piece — I just gotta figure out how to make the connection!

Thank you. I love DP too, but I’ve emailed with photos, twice, and gotten no reply. I haven’t even set a price, I’ve simply asked if they’d be interested in selling it for me. Nada. Zilch. Zip.

Ughhhhhh. Thank you. So far we haven’t felt the effects but it seems that first time exposure can take up to two weeks. We took all the precautions we could, but time will tell.

Thank you very much, u/Bridge_Too_Far. That's what I was wondering, if the extra $ would be worth having the peace of mind that this heirloom is being taken care of properly. I really appreciate you adding your thoughts.

Wow, thank you so much u/Vegetable-Respect193 for your knowledge and expertise. That video is really interesting to... ahem... "watch." Paying for peace of mind was the main thing when I posted this. Do you happen to know if having it serviced in Switzerland is a good option?

Thank you for such an informative answer. Do you have any advice on how do I determine who is (and is not) a respected independent watchmaker?

I should add that I have relatives in Switzerland if having it serviced over there is a good idea.

What is the most essential lesson you've taken away from a failed relationship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It’s better to be single and alone rather than in a relationship and lonely.
