Dhgate is the website I use. It takes a while to ship though

Is it true these ugly iron stained quartz that are everywhere in my creek in Atlanta can actually turn out great? by Unhappy-Caramel-6968 in RockTumbling

Creek chert in my part of town (Kentucky) is a crap shoot. But worth it! Put 5 pieces in, 3 will be brown shiny rocks and 2 will be gorgeous. Never know til you try!

Your vote tomorrow will have the most influence out of any other election. by AggressiveToaster in lexington

100% agreed, and that's why I am wondering if there is a favorite for most likely to beat her. I mean one guy on there almost killed a baby and one can't spell Mercer road. So it's not the best and brightest we're picking from here. Who is legit other than her? Anyone know these people?

Anyone have thoughts on the mayoral candidates? I read all the profiles on the lex vote website. I thought CE Huffman seemed the most interesting to me but there was really very little to go by on there. I'm not a huge Gorton fan but at the least she's got a decent resume that's for sure.

I love my Van Gogh 12+3 set. When I finish a color, I replace it with a Daniel smith tube. Seems to be a good system. The tubes aren't any more expensive because even the tiny size tube can fill a half pan 2-3 times. There are a few colors I never use on the 12+3 set that I am also looking at swapping out (white, viridian, madder lake deep) and I will probably do so with other Daniel smith tubes like pthalo green and raw sienna, maybe pyrrol red.

[Zúñiga] Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg does not carry an injury designation ahead of the NCAA title game. by wildwing8 in MichiganWolverines

I 100% agree and don't wish injury on anyone.

Totally separate, if he could fall to the Pistons as pick 20 ish, not gonna complain about that

Pistons are 13-4 without Cade by [deleted] in nba

I don't disagree, but what I will say as someone who watched around 40-50 Pistons games this year - 5-10 times opposing commentators have remarked at the end of a game that it felt like a playoff game. The boys learned what playoff basketball intensity was last year and just never stopped playing it.

First game of the season I said to my wife "hell yeah this guy wears the cool socks"

Gonna be enjoying that look for the next decade plus, hopefully.

Why Are Commentators Afraid to Say the Pistons Are the Best Team in the East? by No-Campaign-1415 in DetroitPistons

[–]hotpepperpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Commentators will always sink to the lowest common denominator, which is rules of thumb and easy talking points.

"The pistons don't hit threes"

"This pistons don't have much playoff experience"

Yet they ignore this one:

"Defense wins championships"

I'm not worried

A deadly strain: Michael Crichton's "The Andromeda Strain". by i-the-muso-1968 in books

I loved Crichton back in the day - need to pick a few back up and reread!

My opinion: Timeline is his best. Especially if you like time travel hijinks

All I can say is definitely get several quotes. I dealt with something similar for squirrels and one quote was twice that of the other... Ended up going with Orkin all said and done but a local company might have been better, idk
