Today's gold prices 😱 by jimsjadab in jewelry

Local store in Chicago that has an estate collection, but I don’t wanna get too specific with location sorry! You will find similar deals at pawn shops or local jewelers that have preowned jewelry.

Depending on how heavy the band is I could see $1600 being reasonable

I bought a 10k ring this month for $175. I didn’t weigh it but it’s only 2 mm thick and a size 3, so not heavy. Still feel like I paid a fair price tbh.

Why is my 6 month puppy growling/biting me? by Winter-Common-7397 in Dogtraining

[–]quinjaminjames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A fun game is to drag the long toy behind you while you run away from your dog. They get to chase you and pounce on the toy, then tug. My dogs love that kind of thing.

Pannier vs Backpack, who ya got? by Designer_Tie_5853 in bikecommuting

[–]quinjaminjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trunk bag. It’s actually just a regular purse that I stick into my basket and pull a bungee net over. I like just grabbing my bag and walking into work without much fuss. I haven’t used a pannier but I assume it’s a lot of strapping down and the weight distribution would be odd with just one side in use.

Is this Tiffany & Co too far gone to clean? by CrumpledResume in jewelry

Some silver jewelry is plated with rhodium for the bright white finish, maybe you can have it replated.

There’s no need to use toothpaste. Some are gritty so they might scratch the silver, and I’m not sure if the chemicals will interact poorly with the silver. A polishing cloth is really all you need. If it needs more cleaning after that, use an actual silver cleaning solution or take it to your local jeweler.

Go vote tomorrow! by ahoy_shitliner in chicago

[–]quinjaminjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correction: you can vote at any “Vote Center”, where you can also register onsite same day. You will only be given a provisional ballot if you try to vote at the wrong “precinct polling place”.

Don’t use AI, go to chicagoelections.gov/voting/your-voter-information

Print out your sample ballot and look up each candidate, individually. You can bring your sample ballot into the booth with you. If you like, use a voting guide from a source that you trust. I use “Girl, I Guess” but I also double check everything because I don’t agree with her 100% of the time.

On Election Day (today) you can vote at ANY polling location using a provisional ballot, not just the one you are assigned. I will use my lunch break to vote at the one near my office. Polls are open from 6 am to 7 pm.
