Block & tackle barn pulleys

They’re from my grandpa‘s old ranch workshop. I got an offer for $175 for both, would this be a good price to sell them at? Some sentimental value, but I had them listed for the past year so just seeing if this is a good sale price or maybe hold onto them for a while. Also, any other ID or info is appreciated.

Found this stool at a thrift store. It seems handmade to me. Like a custom fabrication not mass produced

It’s got some weight to it. Heavy and solid. I think it was a commission for a handmade piece. The raw welds, the extra weight, and unique design of the locking piece for the swivel area.

Driving through the desert heat changes the game entirely

First time driving the equinox EV through the Mojave desert between Arizona and California, the cooling energy load required to keep the battery cool in such temps as 105 to 120°F uses a lot of the battery range to allocate that external cooling to keep the car running normally. That’s not including any air-conditioning that you use inside the cabin. I found us driving under 65 mph not using the AC much but still getting 1.7 to 1.9 range. This is because of the extreme thermal overload. The car has to use to keep the battery and engine, cool externally under the hood, in those desert temperatures.

Expectation vs Reality of Bud’s Fountain

Just a quick rant about bud’s ice cream, the service and product was not good. Bought my son a $9.88 milkshake that had the quality and presentation of something you’d find at a crappy fast food chain right along with the crappy plastic cup. Maybe that price tier is just tahoe tax but the whole experience at bud’s was off putting. Wasted potential of an original, historic soda fountain ice cream parlor.

Getting used to the exposure behavior of this camera

I’m assuming it’s normal for the highlights to be blown out, and to just be more selective of the natural lighting and dynamics of the subject

Amazon order from Buck Official took 10 days to ship. Delivery expected in another 6 days. WTF?

I ordered a pocket knife from the buck knives Amazon store on Amazon and it didn’t ship out till 10 days later. Expected delivery is showing another six days in transit from Indiana till it’s set to arrive. Just wondering what the heck is the deal? Is it UPS on Fourth of July vacation? Buck knives on vacation? Really not sure what happened here.

Just got done with a chat session that was 2 hours and then a phone session following that was about 30 minutes.

i’m convinced that Xfinity associates are trained to delay and slow down any customer service interactions and pepper them with attempts to upsell especially the mobile line. What should’ve taken 30 minutes took about two hours of talking to multiple different people on chat, and then once I connected to someone on the phone to verbally confirm removing a landline on my Wi-Fi, that person also attempted to upsell me the mobile line promo. Just a really sorts customer service experience, especially in this day and age where you’d think they have it down pretty smooth by now. granted the second or third person on the chat was actually really helpful after the notice that I had myself to two different people and that the chat had been going on for so long and having to reconnect, etc. But the person on the phone had no idea what the follow up was and I had to again explain everything to her and bunch of upsell attempts.

The Ultimate Doors were awesome last night

They had the sound down to a T. Including Jim’s mumbling style of talking, and trippy blurbs of poetry between songs. ALL of the gear on stage was period-correct. The guitarist switched between several vintage guitars during the set.

If NYC has 5 boroughs, how many does SF have, and which ones are the SF equivalent of NYC boroughs? Or would you spread it out across the entire bay including OAK, Alameda, South City, MarinSonoma, CoCoCo, etc.

Name the boroughs in SF that would be sister boroughs of the ones in NYC. Or describe the city as if it were grouped like NYC is.

New England Piggy Bank bottle with metal coin cap

Not sure when or where it’s from.
Edit: apparently it was a maple syrup bottle with a slit in the cap, which doubled as a piggy bank when empty.
