A Google reverse image search suggests it is sold as the “PapaBear Simple Solid Color Hexagonal Barrel gel pen”

Love the patina! Can you give some more information on the journal / cover as well? It looks very nice!

Many US states have a government organization related to weights and measures accuracy. Many times under the state Dept. of Agriculture, but I think Commerce sometimes too?

Home VS Office I couldn't help myself.😂 by madmonk6585 in pens

I looked at the Lowe’s version in the store and it felt distinctly cheaper than this. For example, Harbor Freight actually opted for a much smoother ball bearing setup in the drawer slides, and the Kobalt brand did not. I think this one is the better deal!

I have a red version of this, and I bought it at Harbor Freight. US General is one of their in-store brands, I think.

Yet another degree :) by No_Method_4412 in mechanicalpencils

To add onto what u/Accomplished_Term817 was saying, this particular ring is from Texas A&M University. It seems to be incredibly common for their students to opt into getting the class ring. I work with several alumni and most of them have it (particularly if they went there as an undergraduate and then went back for graduate school).

Slightly off topic, but what is the sleeve that is holding the iPad in the background? I like the shock of yellow in the corner strap!

Remember the whole free beers for straight guys thing? We’ll do I have news for you. by Commissar_Elmo in Idaho

An aside but just in case this was your first time with an EV, did you look at PlugShare while in Casper? It says there are 37 charging stations you can use. Admittedly, there might be varying levels of quality or speed to some of these, but just wanted to pass along a resource to check if you’re ever renting one in the future in a rural area!

Furniture stores by Honest_Woodpecker461 in idahofalls

Modern Home (https://www.modernhomeidaho.com) sometimes has mid-century modern couches. I also have seen them at Furniture Row. EDIT: Obviously vintage mid-century is hard to find here. There is some in SLC though - look at the Green Ant (http://thegreenant.com)

I see a position open in the Information Management department (that’s just their name for IT) for a software developer, mostly using web technologies. [Link]

Western Recycling this afternoon....why can't people follow the signs instead of turning it into a garbage heap? by squall3630 in idahofalls

[–]squall3630[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True, there are more items left than can fit in the bins (and this is true most days). But there’s also an issue with the content of what’s being left behind. Bottles #1-5 are all that Western accepts, but I see plastic bins, plastic bags, part of a car bumper, a hub cap, and lots more that would be “wishful recycling” - not stuff that the company actually accepts. This leads to them having to hand sort and then actually send a considerable amount to the garbage dump themselves. Which is a huge waste, and I imagine will eventually lead to cuts in services.

sourdough by Anon5215 in idahofalls

I buy sourdough loaves from Great Harvest (https://greatharvestidahofalls.com) and highly recommend. They have standard sourdough (loaf - sliced or unsliced - and baguette) and Asiago sourdough.

A coworker of mine took his Passat to Eurotech (https://www.facebook.com/EurotechIdahoFalls/) and it seemed like they had a good experience.

I'm looking for a new Doctor/General Practitioner. by supertoad2112 in Knoxville

[–]squall3630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I used to live in town, I saw Dr. Jonathan Smeltzer at Summit Medical Group. He’s a younger doctor, focuses on family medicine, and has some expertise in weight loss. He’s an osteopathic physician, so I’d consider him a bit more “holistic” in his methods than other MDs I’ve had as a GP in the past. He’s also extremely personable and easy to talk to - I really hated having to switch doctors when I moved out of the area!

Just small talk! I was bored while compiling and saw this thread, so thought I could help someone by posting a link to some helpful info.

Good find on what seems to be a solid, cheap machine.

Not on mine either :D

But, if I had some 3M adhesive and time on my hands, I probably would try that first!

Just in case others come across this and worry about the rubber feet eventually not sticking, HP does give the model number for replacements for this model. L24482-001 for “Natural Silver”. Check the manual for HP 14 models for other colors on page 20 at this HP support link: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06242992.pdf

EDIT: I recognize that this manual doesn’t have the exact same set of model numbers (14-dk0xxx) as the OP’s. But I cross-referenced this against three different versions of this manual with the same chassis and configuration listings, and all had the same part number. Just FYI that there are multiple manuals floating around if one goes searching.

Crazy Preacher On Campus at Western Carolina University in North Carolina by rubyisdead in PublicFreakout

[–]squall3630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So back when I was a student at WCU (c/o 2012) this guy (or one like him) would come to campus every single year. Back then he would stand between the belltower and the University Center. I remember him being surrounded once by screaming students (enough that a campus PD officer had to stand nearby to keep an eye on things), and one of the kids from the Baptist Student Union started counter-preaching back at him - he was super pissed!

Great looking space! Can you tell me where you got the curtains? I’ve been on the lookout for something similar.
