      Maybe the only thing I miss about cable/commercial TV is the occasional re-run of Gilligan or Star Trek OG...

        I need to try what's built into Win 10 (but my experience tells me I will get what I paid for ;) ), but I'm thinking other paid/supported software that's a serious product.

        Iirc, the first federal statute dealing with mj was called the Marijuana Tax Act (1927?), so Iowa was just following suit. Ofc, at the time the Federal Courts still pretended the 9th and 10th Amendments hadn't been repealed. Oh wait, they havent?

        Libby is wonderful but they have arbitrary limits on the amount go digital copies that can be loaned out at once, so I can understand why someone would want to purchase a particularly valued audiobook.

        The two cars I'm in regularly - a "sport" (thus the lowest trim) 2017 Mazada 6 and a 2012 Honda Odyssey minivan both share the HD650's tonality (no sub bass, distorted bass + mid bass hump, mid focus, upper mid emphasis, etchy and sibilant highs), as does most stock car systems I can recall

        My first thought was that someone had wrecked their car into my garage door so I went outside. When there was nothing to see there I could only assume someone was in my garage. I couldn’t imagine such a crash happening any other way.

        I've never owned a standalone humidifier that lasted more than a couple years. I think the ones that integrate directly with home HVAC are the only ones that do.

        The Corvette got the green arrow and pulled out into the intersection, but a HD van (did not catch the company) was running the red light. Corvette was t-boned on drivers side, and the A pillar was so collapsed it's hard to image the person survived.

        The Van went along to collide with a Toyota Corolla as well, but at a side swipe angle so those folks probably lived even if they had injuries. Reminds me to minimize our time in our small car, and spend our miles in our heavier ones...

        It's not a bad place in all. I lurk over there a whit, just seldom feel inclined to participate though quite a few on this forum do. Nice people, different preferences to SBAF, but I just feel very uncomfortable with the "scrolling" UX. No particular reason but I genuinely hate it compared to pages here.

      2. Tchoupitoulas

        Her general advice is that selling privately online can involve risks, especially with potentially valuable coins. Buyers might falsely claim the coins are fake, for instance, and you might not be able to charge as much, if the coins are valuable, because online shoppers may not be serious collectors.

        Other options are to consign with a coin shop or to sell via auction house. The benefits of doing so are that both have relationships with dedicated collectors whom they contact when items come up for sale. These collectors are prepared to pay top dollar. You’ll have to pay a fee – often a % of the sale (as with online sale) – but you might secure a higher sale price this way.
