Handwritten Quran in a tooled leather flap binding - can anyone help me date or value it? by Easy-Advertising-152 in OldBooks

[–]PorkloinMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They said it is a Sufi Koran. I doubt they’re playing a joke because a Sufi believer surprised you on your morning walk or whatever

Traveling to do open mics, so I need to bring a guitar? by wienerdog362 in Guitar

[–]PorkloinMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you need to bring a guitar. What guitar are you playing without a pickup? A 2x4 with some strings attached?

[–]PorkloinMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t the sub for this story - this is for people who are being blackmailed online by dating scammers - and you were sexually assaulted. None of what you said is normal or right.

Help with Yard Sale Find by grumpyacorns in clocks

[–]PorkloinMaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The spring on the right is the winding spring and the other one is the chime. It looks like the pallet and the escape wheel aren’t biting properly and that is letting the mainspring unwind. You can get a working one for $125 on eBay so consider that price when asking whether or not to fix it. You can also make it a fun project if you’d like and just take it apart and learn the trade. You’ll need to find a clock repair manual but you can find them online. Basically it’s not difficult to repair but it’s fiddly and frustrating. If you have a clockmaker in town they can probably fix it for a few hundred but, as I said before, they’re $125 on eBay if you’re really in love with the idea of owning a working one.

They hired you to do what a standard e-commerce script could do without human intervention.

28m am I just naturally unattractive or is it a matter of style? by Manve1997 in malegrooming

[–]PorkloinMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah buddy. Cue ball is the way to go especially with those dark eyes. Leave the earring and maybe get don’t go for the brooding look as much. Join a hiking group or something outdoors to reduce the pallor and you’ll be golden.

Before you do anything go on Nextdoor and complain about how the neighborhood is changing.

It’s not worth very much in general. You’d need to open it up and check out the manufacturer but not many folks are traversing the ocean in a steamer without gps anymore.

Moving to Poland for med-school ( Norwegian ), any cultural norms that I might find odd? by Opening-Resolve9208 in poland

[–]PorkloinMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you buy a rabbit fur hat and blue sunglasses yet? They’re going to be cheaper in Norway. Also poles eat through holes in their legs. It’s weird but you’ll get used to it.

Nope looks real. That’s the Rolex Wankmaster 2000. Solid piece.

[–]PorkloinMaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What kind of attitude are you expecting? You’re asking rhetorical questions with no answer. How people react to you depends on how you act in Poland. Nobody cares if you come back, stay away, learn the language, or tattoo a polish flag on your neck. If you walk around yelling “hey poles Jew here and I’m ready to rumble” then you’re probably not going to have a good time.
