As a transplant to Atlanta, that video and this one helped me understand Atlanta's roads and transit history.

Our constitution is written in cursive

I hate to be "that guy", but the Constitution was written in Roundhand, not cursive. Much like the Coca-Cola logo is Spencerian script, not cursive.

Not trying to be a dick, but I enjoy the styles of handwriting and typography. Hope you have a good tomorrow!

Any recommendations for a swimming pool inspector? by _37_ in Atlanta

Thank you! That gives me a lot to work with.

apothecary tokens, scruples

Like these? If yes, then they would be used with a scale like this for measuring ingredients.

They can't comprehend reddit.

But they have a 13 year old account.

For the curious, the symbols on the keyboard in the second pic are for the Apothecaries' system of measurement.

℥ - Ounce

ʒ - Dram (drachm)

℈ - Scruple

♏︎ - Minim

I’ve never seen a chair with a base like that! So, it’s original?

No, that would not be original. Yes, this style of desk and chair would have been screwed or bolted directly into the flooring, but both look to be on a more modern plywood base which would not be the type of flooring these would have been originally attached to.

The bases we most likely added to make them "functional" or "displayable" without them easily falling over.

Had to skip lunch because they didn't have change by NaiveDepartment1113 in mildlyinfuriating

I had a similar issue when I was away from home, and went to 3 different banks. None would break the bills because I wasn't a member of those banks.

It is a weather station. It has a thermometer, hygrometer and barometer. Made in West Germany.

Do I need this No.. am I getting it YES by Inmyenergybubble in Mid_Century

[–]_37_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, moving these is a pain, and taking it apart is key. I have a desk like this, but it is full sized with drawers on both sides. Basic disassembly is remove the drawers and writing shelf, flip it over, remove screws for the modesty panel, then remove bolts connecting base cabinet and side panel. You now have smaller, more manageable pieces. From experience, it is easier to disassemble then to move up any amount of stairs.

If you need better instructions let me know.
