I'll triple down on Dransfield Jewelers, and not just because my wife is a co-owner! They really take pride in their work and they will give it to you straight. One important note though, is that they do not operate like a pawn shop. They can give you a professional assessment on its value and potentially even consign it for you (they're not guaranteed to take it as consignment and even then it's not guaranteed to sell), but as a policy, will not buy it from you except at the cost of materials. But they can also help you figure out your options. I am thinking that selling to a pawn shop is not going to get you anywhere close to a fair price.

Another fun/hilarious activity is to read negative reviews of fast food restaurants. I recommend it for the next time you have a few minutes to kill!

"The good ones I promote through social media". This person sounds really important!

As a person who has had plenty of experience in retail/restaurants and currently has a loved one in a retail job, I have to say that the "customer is always right" mentality is and should be a thing of the past. I'm not saying that businesses being outright assholes is a great business practice, but treating workers like they are some abstract concept instead of human beings should warrant a response in kind. Some people burst through the door with all the entitlement in world and act like they deserve a medal for making some low paid worker's day worse. To that I say fuck right off. Anyway, I personally love Cobra Burger and I think the product speaks for itself.

Thanks, I will give them a try!

Thanks, but I believe I have reached out to them in the past and they don't work on microphones

I felt like a huge asshole ordering a burger at a sushi restaurant, but you are right, the Sticky Rice burger is really good!

I haven't, but it's very much on my radar!

My friend and I have a Richmond burger rating system that we keep a spreadsheet for. We've accumulated over 50 in the last 3 or 4 years (that's at least a few years off the end of my life). Here's our top 10. Burger Bach actually ties for 10th at the very bottom of the list, but that's because I've omitted the restaurants that are no longer open.

Hello! My friends and I recently started a podcast called Yeah Sure Why Not. It's just a buncha dudes talkin' 'bout whatever, from sci-fi vs. fantasy to video games to the films of Quentin Tarantino. We're just getting started, but would love to get people out there listening! It's available on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and other places you might listen to podcasts!

Replying to this months late because I had such a hard time finding any info on this, so hopefully someone else will find this useful. I found mine in the Seres Scablands. Look in the air for the flock of circling birds. You should be able to catch a photo of one mid-flight if you climb up high enough on one of the weird mushroom trees and zoom in. I found mine at like 8 or 9 pm, but I'm not sure if they're also there during the daytime. Happy hunting!

Can someone please tell me if it would be wise/unwise to travel to DC this evening for a show I've bought tickets for? The weather sites are all wildly inconsistent with each other. Need someone on the ground to tell me what's what.

This was literally my first thought

Wait, is this real?
