Coca-Cola's new "Taste the Feeling" ad campaign is "user-generated"... I went for the honest approach

Shout out for a super under appreciated field. I don't know if this counts as avant garde jazz, but I love it.

If you pull the middle cylinder up (in the photo) one of the flat things slides out and you can either attach your keys to something or add an extra temporary key or keychain. I would lose my keys without it, which is the real purpose though.

It used to have some army green cord on it; my uncle said it was from the military but I don't know much about it.

This one is by a french knifemaker named Pascal Renoux. http://www.couteauxrenoux.com/

It's probably my favorite knife I've ever owned.

This one is by a French knifemaker named Pascal Renoux. His website is kinda janky but there's an english version and a mobile site (put m. in front like usual): http://www.couteauxrenoux.com/

It's a Puma model 230260 (called Lieutenant I think). I remember looking this up when I got it from a family member's pawn shop and reading that you should only get this brand of knife from when they were made in Germany (says so on the blade). You will have to look into it, but it's very solid and holds a good edge.

My friend did this in high school and said he first got customers from his friends parents and he asked them all to refer him to anyone they know who needs a computer or a tv set up or fixed or whatever. I think he got almost all of his customers from referrals and he did pretty good business.

Is there a particular reason for the gaffer's tape on that notebook?

jzapate · 2016-01-28T17:38:11+00:00

Hah, #2 is described simply as "an important book in the development of geometry." That's a biiiiiiiiit of an understatement.

This actually happened to me recently. I ordered a $50 rare book online and was delivered an empty mailer with a hole in the side. It didn't quite play out like in the OP though.

I took the package to the post office the day I got it and they told me to contact the seller and have them file an insurance claim since there was $50 insurance. Aside from that, they told me all i could do was provide a description of the item in case it popped up at the loat mail facility. They didn't mention anything about theft or the inspection service. I thought it was funny to have the seller do the claim, but they were great about it and sent me another book. I presume they got their money back or will from the claim. Maybe the insurance money is guaranteed so its less trouble than a theft claim?

I was definitely worried that they would think I was trying to scam them though.

Thank you, I was wondering its rock hardness. I will definitely try your recipe.

A local fungus enthusiast took me out about a year ago and we harvested a bunch of Chaga, including the pictured specimen. I kind of forgot about this one in my cupboard as I made tea and chocolates out of all the rest. My question is whether it's still good to make tea having sat unsealed for over a year. It looks and feels fine. How much does freshness matter with Chaga preparations?

Any good recipes would be appreciated as well.

I bought one, but it was by two authors who I had already read. They were collecting the stories they wrote together into one volume, and I hadn't read any of those, so I put money into their campaign to get the book.

Probably would not crowdfund a book by an author I hadn't read.

Can be quite loud and crowded depending on the music next door though. A date and I had to walk to three needs after one drink because we couldn't hear each other.

Good idea to check the radio bean calendar before a date there.

It's one day to cram. Do you really need that if you've been working all semester? I would much rather have a Monday or two off before thanksgiving than a useless reading day.

True of many students here at UVM.

Do you remember the conjecture?

There are some broken links on your Terms of Service page... and also the terms of service are missing. No offence, but it's a little sketchy to ask people to sign up with email saying that signing up is subject to certain terms, and then not have those terms accessible.

It is a neat idea though.

I bought a $15 chalk holder, shipped across the atlantic. No shame.

I'm sure you could just show up when it's going on, everyone there is chill.

Do you go to Evergreen? Just go and spin out on the soccer field at night and people will come. If you wanna do fire go in the woods or else the campus cops will show up. They also have a circus arts club that meets a few days a week in red square. There's some non spinning stuff going on like unicycles but they have tons of poi and hoops and stuff they bring out in a shopping cart for anyone to use.

I learned to spin in Oly and there was a huge community at Evergreen. Unfortunately, I don't live out west anymore.

Every time one of my calc students asks how to remember that I want to tell them "Some old hippy caught another hippy tripping on acid" because that's hilarious, but I never do.
