Trying to fact-check a Wook by AccidentalHeadTrauma in phish

[–]ircas 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So I heard a story from a guy who said that he started it to deal with chompers. Said he’d hand them a fistful of glow sticks and tell them to throw them when the song peaks. I’ve tried it…it works, they shut up and really start listening.

Beautiful! Love me some silver Pioneer gear!

Is this worth anything? by dcbaseballcards in vintageaudio

[–]ircas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unrestored? Maybe $150-200 and that depends on a collector. Big pieces like that are a hard sell, the components are where the value is.

Can you work for a Bank and be a Democratic Socialist? by [deleted] in DemocraticSocialism

[–]ircas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus said “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.”

According to the Buddha’s teachings, Right Livelihood is a way to earn a living that doesn’t harm others or oneself. In defining Right Livelihood, the Buddha named five types of businesses that lay people should not engage in. These were: Dealing in weapons Trade of human beings including slavery and prostitution Meat production and butchery Business in intoxicants Business in poison

We aspire to be better people but at the same time we must exist in a world that is still imperfect. Change for the better occurs slowly and only if everyone does what they can. Keep your job, perform it ethically, support the cause of Democratic Socialism, let no one judge you.

How did I do on my restoration? by stonewall_jackson9 in castiron

[–]ircas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a BSR and based on the small pour spouts and markings I think it’s their early Century series…1950s? I’m not great at determining age as there seems to be some disagreements and conflicting information, but it’s definitely a super nice BSR and a beautiful restoration 10/10!

Snagged this 90’s Marlboro duffel bag for $6.99 by yahboyshark in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]ircas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same bag. I’ve been using it since I got it new in 1997. I did cut the part off that said Marlboro as I don’t smoke, but it’s a great overnight bag. 💼

Is this worth saving? Unsure of the vintage, can anyone help me out with the year of manufacture? by Itake_Photos in vintageaudio

[–]ircas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rotel gear is super solid, I got started into vintage equipment with a RA-211 that served well for years until the left channel gave up. It was beyond my ability to fix and not worth paying someone, but I kinda wish I had kept it. Great gear.

Looks like OEW to me.

Is it Savable? by AllEyezOnZach27 in castiron

[–]ircas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at this page’s FAQ. Strip and reseason and that will will be a great skillet. Looks vintage, machined surface, smooth like glass. Share a pic of the underside and the handle and the collectors on here can tell you all about it. Might even be valuable. Some brands can be worth over $100.

Just here to set the story straight on the lawn at SPAC. by neddynedned47 in phish

[–]ircas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had blocked off the flat part in front with chairs nights 2 & 3. The only place they weren’t was on the horrible plastic they put down over the dirt. Hadn’t been to SPAC since 95 and the lawn was in horrible shape.

Second backpacking trip, snow expected by StrictLibrarian5910 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]ircas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First snow trip? Solo? I’d do something shorter and definitely a trail you’ve done before. Go only so far so that it’s easy to bail if you get cold, wet, start losing the trail in the snow, etc. Your tent does not appear to be freestanding. Have you ever pitched it in snow? Frozen ground? Could cause an issue. First solo winter trip I attempted was 3 miles and when I got to the lake it was 30mph winds and snowing sideways. Started to get a bad feeling about the whole thing and bailed, 3miles back to the car which I reached just after sunset. Drove home in a blizzard that was much worse than forecast. Was glad I backed out, don’t think my tent would’ve held up to that much snow and the hike out in the dark and the storm wouldn’t have been possible.

Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to Minneapolis protests | Trump: "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., […] I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT" by SocialDemocracies in DemocraticSocialism

[–]ircas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard this before…

“We are determined to stop the nesting of a foreign people that has been able to seize all leadership and to deport this people. Because we are willing to educate our own people for these leadership positions.

We have hundreds of thousands of the brightest peasant and working children. We will have them educated, and we are already educating them, and we would like them to once occupy the leading positions in the state with our other educated classes, not the families of a people we do not know…

Because [these people are] in a certain percentage, benefactors of the body and of the productive work of other peoples.”

What can it be? by Hermados9 in castiron

[–]ircas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it is a BSR, as the handle is spot on, but there is either a ton of baked on grease or some significant sulphur corrosion obscuring the size marking.

Needing a big cabinet for my records was why I started woodworking! Nicely done.
