I have an old, empty pond in my back yard - about 12'x10'x2.5' and surrounded by rocks. Is there any way to convert it into a hot tub? Would it be placing a liner somehow or using gunite? Could you manually place massage jets etc? Is something like this viable or is it best to just ignore the pond totally, dig a hole elsewhere and drop in a ready made hot tub?

Had the LIS operation a week ago after lotions and potions and ointments and two rounds of unsuccessful Botox and for the first time in 5 months I'm largely pain free.

Those 5 months were utterly debilitating so it's a weight that's gone. I'm happy to answer any questions.

The famous Avengers final scene - the heroes eating a shawarma together - was filmed in Elat Burger, now Shalom Grill in LA.

Basically per the title - I've just sold my IFA (independent financial advisor) company, I'm in my mid 40s and would like to enter the VC world. Without overdoing it, what's the most well respected or authoritative financial modelling qualification I should get, especially for Europe if there's much of a difference. If there's any other qualification or advice for this, I'd be very grateful.

It's going to be super hot today and my local town hall is spraying the forest - please be careful with fire, it only takes one cigarette.

Hi! I live just outside Valencia city and would love to find a restaurant where I can eat red prawns and cigalas - but not in a rice necessarily, just top quality and simply grilled. Extra points for city centre or west because the beach doubles my travel time.

I ate a rice on the weekend with carabineros and I can't stop thinking about it 😁

Also, perhaps there's a place to buy them raw but deshelled and deveined?

Hi! I just bought a popcorn maker that uses hot air to pop the corn. I also got Flavacol salt and finally some butter flavoured popcorn oil.

​

My questions are: is the oil just for popping the corn in a pan? Can I add the oil to the corn before it's popped or will that break the machine? Should I add the oil after the corn is popped and before the Flavacol? I have a spray bottle. Thanks!

So, I was at a commercial gem show recently and a diamond dealer that I struck up a business conversation with, put a solid handful of cut Moissanites in the palm of my hand. I asked him how much (they were probably 50 to 80 pointers) and he said just take them.

​

Intrigued, and not particularly wanting the stones (but they were free so...) I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and investigated. Apparently it's a combination of the fact it's out of patent but mainly because there's a massive glut of unsold lab diamonds in China which are being produced in ever greater quantities and at ever lower cost.

​

Separately to my experience I also found out about individuals (retail) receiving unsolicited free moissanite rings in the mail alongside fake gemological certificates. Scammers do this to create verified purchase histories, allowing them to leave fake 5-star reviews on your behalf to boost their own store ratings.

​

Finally: moissanite often comes with a GRA certificate which is very scammy.

Without re-reading all the preceding books, is there a good way to go over the general content of the books before Red God - something more detailed than just plot outlines. I was thinking of asking AI to summarise them but ... I don't want to lol
