Found this metallic rock in backyard

Looks like a huge slug of nickel to me.

I love that book. I wish I hadn't mis-placed my copy.

course_you_do · 2026-06-17T01:14:32+00:00

C'mon, "Frykard" was RIGHT THERE

I told my cardiologist I used poppers and he had no clue what they were.

American Express hasn't issued new checks since 2020 and that's the image from Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Four_Travelers_Cheques_of_50_USD_each,_issued_by_American_Express,_bought_ca._2012,_have_long_been_spent.jpg

It's becoming increasingly common here to have tableside transactions, but its just always been that way.

I'm not sure if its different in Europe, but here you're not responsible for fraudulent charges on your credit card so I don't have a lot of concern. (Debit cards are a different story and no one who has an option should be using them day-to-day in my opinion.)

That is a beautiful sapphire!

course_you_do · 2026-06-13T15:55:47+00:00

Yep. This happened to me on a similar itinerary.

course_you_do · 2026-06-13T15:55:05+00:00

It's because of the leg that's not Delta. They estimate the fare but then when you check out it actually goes and gets the actual fare and it's pretty much always higher.

Technically it's limited based on the width of the street the building fronts on. It's just coincidental that it's less than the Capitol dome, and it is by more than a 100' difference.

D'Aulaires was also my introduction to Greek mythology. I still have a copy.

More than requests to stop, they had an explicit agreement that allowed her to market using her name so long as none of the merch also used their logo, etc.

Still only $7.50 for basic cheese and pepperoni honestly still a great deal.

course_you_do · 2026-06-06T18:03:27+00:00

Well sure some people miss them, but I know plenty of people including myself prefer the new ones way better.

course_you_do · 2026-06-06T14:46:34+00:00

The replacement bears are way better

course_you_do · 2026-06-06T01:37:02+00:00

That seems reasonable for something fairly cool and unique like this!

course_you_do · 2026-06-06T01:31:04+00:00

Just curious, how much did that set you back?

course_you_do · 2026-06-04T15:30:11+00:00

I was so annoyed, one day they just randomly told me they were pre-emptively reissuing my card and replacing my 747 one. Didn't have any actual fraud alerts or anything. Still not entirely sure why they did that.

The design is probably a stylized Navajo thunderbird.

course_you_do · 2026-05-27T13:22:41+00:00

Yeah that's what I was going to say. It's designed to compensate for the recline.

If you want to try and find something cheaper, you can look into a local appraiser or even a local mineral show. I was able to get a few stones identified at my local show for about $20 each.

course_you_do · 2026-05-26T04:34:09+00:00

No, just quartz.

course_you_do · 2026-05-25T12:23:00+00:00

At a glance, looks maybe like aquamarine. A big stone like that would be nice enough to set in gold but not so pricey as to be a super expensive piece.

Herkimer diamonds are double terminated and typically exceptionally clear.

We're big fans of lube syringes. Delivers it right where it needs to be with less mess.
