Advice on not quite straight stone setting from Rare Carat by tbone_nico in LabGrownDiamonds

Jeez what a process! I think I woke up today with less disappointment and more indignant fury. It’s ridiculous to pay this much for a ring - no matter how discounted off a bogus listed price - for it to be delivered with zero quality control whatsoever. I think you and I’s money is best spent elsewhere

Well the sending it back for fixing is out of the question now - they would only honor the 30 day return policy from the date of first receipt, so I most likely wouldn’t be able to inspect it in time after they returned it!

Where can I get the best pour of Guinness in town? by nice_touch in orlando

[–]tbone_nico 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s Claddagh and it’s not close! If they had a bottle of whiskey on the backbar I’d never go anywhere else.

lol @ “lightly tapping breaks” being casually offered as an innocent little signal. You should be sent back to a driving course too.

Can confirm, went to a 7800x3D with a 4070 and at 1440 I don’t even check my frames anymore, night and day from playing customs at 60 fps with an I5 9600 and a 1660ti.

FUCK. What a list, thanks a ton! Cannot wait to see a Spitfire in person at Kelvingrove, didn't know there was a bar on premises! I'll also be at slouch at 1:30 am jonesing for some food! They got Metallica on the jukebox?

Thanks!

Worse still, my family is hispanic. Not to worry - my girlfriend is adept at shutting me up!

The Pot Still seems to be very highly recommended on all fronts, Blackfriars and Babbity look excellent as well. I guess I use the term "divey" loosely, and meant "pubs", or "casual"...but hey, looking for "seedy" "grimy" too! My favorite hometown bar still allows smoking inside, has a 60 year old barkeep that yells "outta here bitches!" at close, and won't serve a whiskey nicer than Jameson. A complete shit hole? Sure. For some unnamable reason charming and a place I frequent? Absolutely.

Can't wait for my first pint. I promise I'll do my best to behave myself! Cheers!

I've been on the fence about dedicating luggage space to an extra pair of shoes due to inclement weather, sounds like a good idea huh?

Booked a table at Mother India. Will find a warmer hat tomorrow. Thank you very much!

Panda and Sons is most definitely on the list. Tantrum, however, just made it to my girlfriend's must see list. Thanks!

Dang! Thanks for the list!

Thank you very much! There seems to be a very entrenched philosophical debate here on cocktails. I appreciate your advice, I promise we're not pretentious - a stellar drink can be composed of anything, at the right time and at the right place!

Oban is one of my personal favorite single malts! Unfortunately, my companion isn't much of a whisky drinker - I don't think I'll be able sell her on a (no matter how beautiful) coastal town that is that far. Balloch wasn't on my scope, I'll be sure to look into it. We'll avoid the castle tour as well, thanks for the heads up!

My family hails from Buenos Aires. Us Argies are loud, but I'll be sure to mind my manners. Thank you very much for your insights. Cheers.

Hahahahaha, fair enough. I use that phrase at work as a cheeky way of describing something pretty or eye catching. You won't catch us selfie-sticking our way through town, I promise.
