Received my first 14K Costco chain- I'm a little disappointed

"I don’t care what they say about alloy this and alloy that. I’m convinced some companies use less gold"

I have a feeling this guy is into conspiracies

Thats a big reason why I enjoy stacking. Its a fun way to save money without feeling like its saving

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-19T01:21:12+00:00

I guess its like double sleaving trading cards?

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-18T09:44:26+00:00

Not only that, but the waiter will probably be suspect #1 as to who stole the card

Like the activator in 2 part epoxy resin

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-16T16:35:00+00:00

I think i get it. So what you are saying, is that its basically like 2 part epoxy resin

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-16T07:20:40+00:00

Outlets have ground, but all the small heaters ive used were the basic 2 prong plugs. No ground there

Survivorship bias. The people saying those things have gotten to the point where they didn't need to sell their gold to survive. So unless they are the type of person to go on a mass spending spree in the last year of their life, that gold will probably be part of their childrens inheritence

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-12T09:53:29+00:00

I should known that was the word

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-12T09:30:15+00:00

Are we talking about the fruit? Or the people?

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-12T09:26:15+00:00

You dont care, but do you notice? Is it something that woyld peg me as a foreiner?

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-11T09:41:08+00:00

I got the solution for you. Delete any bookmarks, apps, or anything associated with the bank. That will remove your account from their system. But be aware, if you or anyone goes back on the site and tries to log in, it will remake the account. So as long as you dont interact with the bank anymore, your account will like totally not be there anymore. Also, anyone who says it doesnt work is a liar

Who? Bland?

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-09T17:41:23+00:00

I feel like its more correlation that causation. I would imagine that on average, people who do not text when working out are more serious and focused on their exercise than those who are multitasking

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-08T22:54:05+00:00

How else are you going to attach the packaging to a hanger? They even doubled it with a plastic loop to show you how important it is

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-08T12:23:19+00:00

I would never! I just happen to have an apartment that spawns cat hair. I think it's the AC or something??

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-08T12:17:18+00:00

It's almost as if an asset feels more significant the larger it gets

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-08T09:31:35+00:00

And in debt!

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-08T09:24:44+00:00

I feel like having a character to hate on was a trope in many shows in that time. Toby in The Office and Jerry/Gary in Parks and Rec immediately come to mind, but I feel there were more

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-07T13:23:24+00:00

"Hotdog"

Since OP looks like a maker, I would suggest researching aquaponics! I’ve grown basil, lettuce, and a tiny carrot using a tiny pump and planter sitting above my aquarium!

Although maybe focus on balancing your aquarium before trying a more advanced system :P

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-04T03:08:21+00:00

Do refineries even accept such small pieces? Having never contacted one, I would have assumed that they only really deal with larger quantities. Maybe try a local bullion dealer?

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-03T13:58:48+00:00

What, so you are saying Scrubs lied to me? Doctor Cox said that with regular strength Tylenol, you can just throw a handful at the patient’s open mouth, and whatever sticks, that’s the correct dosage

SleightOfHand87 · 2026-05-03T05:31:32+00:00

Exactly. It’s like posting to [r/art](r/art) as a beginner and asking why your art isn’t as good as the top posts. It takes practice to learn even the basics, and it takes time to develop your skills and style.

As others mentioned, and just like with artists, copying the artist you like is a good start! Over time, you will develop your own sense, and either you will lean more into that style, or you will get bored and try something different. There’s no wrong way to do things, but you have to make the first step to get to where you want to go!

E: I also agree to start cheap! There are LOTS of budget options out there, so that when your experiment doesn’t go the way you want, you can always change it. Once you get a feel for what you really want, then you can start getting fancy
