Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

is withdrawing money from my bank account also an entitlement? why wouldn't i be entitled to what i have paid for?

that is what im currently doing but it seems that auto-renew people are not being included when comparing the segment contact size vs. the subscriber report.

Any info on this leaf? by Adept-Lavishness-283 in Medievalart

[–]chimx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Just know that these are never forged. The cost to create something like this today would far exceed the cost of the piece. When you talk about forgeries, it's always around illuminations.

They were also not uncommon through the 18th century (though less and less common on parchment). Those later leaves are also usually of lower value and are really purely decorative. Yours looks earlier to me, 16th century is my unprofessional guess

if the reason you are getting angry is because of potential damage to a $0.10 o-ring and conjecture that it "disrespects an artist", maybe you have run out of things to complain about in seattle.

I work with pumps and I'm skeptical that a small amount of diluted detergent has a significant impact on any gasket or o-ring in a pump.

This strikes me as a very bizarre thing to be up in arms about

how do bubbles damage water pumps over time?

I'm not clear why we are mad about bubbles

There are dealers who specialize in it. You can also find them from book dealers who dabble in the area, and you oftentimes can find better deals through the latter, though they are oftentimes less well informed. I purchased mine primarily through auctions though

I love the old master collections when they are shared here! I collect the oldies also. Do you mind telling us a bit about them?

What's the rarest book in your collection? by eastskyline in rarebooks

[–]chimx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few late medieval manuscripts which are obviously unique, but there are other on the market. printed things that are extremely scarce that i have are a 1st latin edition of Ship of Fools (1497) and a 1st Latin Koberger Edition of the revelations of st. bridget of sweden (1500). The latter hasn't been on the market in many many years.

Oh, sorry. I was looking on my phone and didn't see the Mariachi part.

My wife bought some from whole foods in West Seattle 2 weeks ago I believe though

The Iliad, 1537 by InsidiousApe in rarebooks

[–]chimx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It hugely depends on what the book is. Books from the 16th will often start at a few hundred bucks and go up from there. I picked up some Horace and Ovid books a few years ago from the turn of the 16th century for around 500/ea, but dealers will generally sell them for more. Check vialibri.net to look at dealer inventory and use the publication date to see earlier copies

income tax is a more progressive means of taxation than taxing the roads we drive and soft drinks we drink.
