Who's Still Enjoying Churchwardens?

General rule --- Taking photos is both easy and zero-cost, anymore, and online selling has been going on for 20+ years. Meaning any seller who does NOT provide enough visual information to make a buyer COMPLETELY comfortable in the "what you see is what you'll get" sense, is very probably... -

Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?
From the Dawn of Man until recently, the wise man's advice regarding information was always, "Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see."

Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?
Exactly the sort of thing ^^^^ I was referring to when I started the thread... a thousand information "snakes" that are currently in the process of swallowing their own tails and regurgitating what comes out near the base of them. Non-stop, 24/7, millions of times each second, planet-wide...- georged

Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?
Humans have existed for several million years. As animals went, they weren't fast, or strong, or have big claws or fangs, or any of that. Yet they managed to survive and prevail over those that did. We should have been lunch for such predators---easy to catch and couldn't fight back---but we...- georged

War Horse Bar Alternatives?
Yo, lukifer --- I have 20 sealed tins of the red in an office box on a bottom shelf. It whimpers occasionally like a lost puppy cuz I don't smoke it, and Hoover (being a cat) likes boxes that are empty, not full, so he won't mind the tins going bye bye, either. So. $12 each. The catch being...- georged
