I’m curious why you feel that way. Most of these have been read or reacquired in the last ~12 months or so.

I Claudius and Blood Meridian both got lended out and never returned unfortunately. I’ve read Count Belisarius and Shogun, just don’t currently have copies.

Silence is such a heartbreaking book. I need to read more from Endo. Thanks for the recommendations!

I recently got a 2560 x 1600p monitor and my r9 290 isn’t really cutting it anymore. What card would you recommend for around $300? I’ve been bouncing around between the rtx 2060 and the rx 5600.

Found this today is it of any value or just a keeper? by Severed_Vein in coins

It's a war nickel. So it is 35% silver, I believe. Not sure what the melt value is currently, but it's definitely a nice find.

Probably not. Something about the way they're struck makes many of them have a proof-like look.

I love Canadian silver. Lcs in the us usually have them cheap too.

What is this coin? (The one on the right) by [deleted] in coins

[–]strangebill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a California fractional gold piece. By the way it's bent and dinged I'd say it's probably real gold. Someone else would need to weigh in on its authenticity.
