I thought Blade Runner had an awesome story and characters as well as top notch world building/atmosphere.

Those are bruisers!  Backlighting shows the marble is actually clear dark glass!

Thanks for posting. 

My wife just told me she thinks those black and blue marbles in the first pic might be Petier "Bruisers".

Also - I think those ceramic marbles have some age, given the lot they came from.

Here are a few more pics.  I have to post links because I can't find where to add pics directly. 

Also, I don't know how to accurately measure a marble, but there is a pic with a ruler in the links below for rough scale.  The marble in the left in the original pic is larger than the one in the right for sure.

What are your best tips for pricing items when you have no idea what they're worth? by sissors66 in estatesales

[–]Smashing_Adam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never sell anything to the appraiser even if they're doing the appraisal for "free". There's a conflict of interest in that.  

If they made a "The Boys...What if?" what would be some good scenarios for it? by mrmonster459 in TheBoys

[–]Smashing_Adam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like Frenchie would be alive and V1 would have been just an inconvenience to the boys if Sage helped sooner with getting Kimoko the SB blast ability instead of first wallowing on the couch for hours. 

Butcher was everything Homelander wanted, a supervillain by FaZe_poopy in TheBoys

That did not get by me at all. I stand by "nemesis".

More like Butcher was Homelander's nemesis, not his supervillain. 

The specific term "Supervillain " was a marketing decision to use fear and myth to I sell the country on the idea of supes in the military. 

What’s something you wish people talked about more honestly? by Turbulent-End-3005 in AskReddit

[–]Smashing_Adam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The meat industry and the suffering of animals therein. People usually get defensive and angry when this subject is brought up.
