Is there a thread in a/t or the book barn or somewhere else where I could ask about selling a very old book? On the off chance that someone with expertise is reading this, a friend is trying to sell a Francis Bacon book published in 1689. 3rd edition, in latin, still waiting on the title. My uneducated guess is that it's worth a lot (frickin FRANCIS BACON), but only to the right collectors, so she would have to settle for crappy price if she wanted to sell it right away. We're obviously a little out of our depth here though. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Xandu posted:From a code standpoint, I have this (though the fireplace is gas if it makes a difference) and was told that it's not a problem as long as I don't have any wires running behind the fire place. AlbieQuirky posted:lifeiskillingme, in terms of puncturing the flue liner with the anchors, is there a brick chimneypiece, or is the chimney behind wallboard/Sheetrock? If it's the latter, and if she has a metal liner, you can probably suss out where it is with a stud finder and avoid it. No chimney sweep (brand-new house as of 4 months ago), but she had an AT&T tech tell her mounting a TV up there couldn't be done but I feel like it's worth asking someone else for a second opinion. She has the builder wrapped around her finger because there were many things wrong with the house when she moved in and she's called him so many times he's finally said "gently caress it" and is coming to personally fix some things, and if anyone would know, it'd be him I guess. His subs didn't even hacksaw slits in the gas pipe running under the wood rack in the fireplace. But that's neither here nor there. I think she probably does have a metal liner.

You can also check http://www.abebooks.com to see if anyone's selling anything like it and what their price is. E: I just did a search on books by Bacon published between 1680-1700, and the results are selling for $150-$975. Rabbit Hill fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Mr. Squishy posted:Here's a thread but with the bookbarn's readership you're probably more in luck asking here. Heh, good point. Selling first editions of stuff like Dan Abnett and Robert Jordan could probably become a lucrative business if marketed correctly. I'll give it a shot once I get the book's title though. Rabbit Hill posted:You can also check http://www.abebooks.com to see if anyone's selling anything like it and what their price is. Thanks! Looks like my friend will be disappointed, she was hoping for a four figure sum.

Without seeing the thing at all, my guess is that it's worth $500, max. People who aren't collectors rarely maintain old books well enough for them to be worth top dollar.

What are all these symbols (or what is the overall design) on this pendant?  My best guesses are Venus/Female, Libra, May birthday (the emerald), and... uh, the reduced Planck's constant? That seems too out of place. The lines/stars could be a constellation (The Summer Triangle perhaps)? The numbers I have no idea.

Rent-A-Cop posted:I haven't seen the movie but are we talking paved or unpaved roads? Dirt and gravel roads are routinely sprayed with different chemical mixtures to keep the dust down and maintain the road surface. In the past they were usually sprayed with some kind of petroleum byproduct. It's blacktop roads, as I think the people of america say.

Crankit posted:It's blacktop roads, as I think the people of america say. It's a diluted asphalt emulsion, not pure water, probably a fog sealing treatment in that environment - the roads lose compaction and start breaking up due to limited traffic, so you spray and asphalt/water mix on them to fill in little cracks and renew the surface, and make sure that when the occasional truck does go past you don't lose all of your aggregate.

Over in the PYF Shark Tank thread, an episode was posted about a couple selling a stuffed elephant as a way to communicate with partner that "we have to talk". (It's hilariously bad if you like that sort of thing.) One of the examples the wife gives is "if he leaves the toilet seat up, this gives me a way to tell him 'I'm upset about something, and we have to talk'!" I have never understood why women get upset if a guy leaves the toilet seat up. When I gotta pee, I walk into the bathroom and look at the throne while pulling my pants down. If my bf has left the seat up, I put it down --- a whopping half a second of effort. Do other women just blindly plonk their butts down without looking? Why is this a commonly joked about "problem" with couples?

Because women need something to complain about. They get just as mad when you don't put the seat up and "accidentaly" pee on the seat itself.  I always put the seat down and if there is a second "cover" top I put that down too.

^^ Gross, what kind of person doesn't wipe up their own pee in their own house who's older than 5?JacquelineDempsey posted:Do other women just blindly plonk their butts down without looking? Probably some of them sometimes? I never have personally but I can imagine maybe it's the middle of the night and you're sleepy and not paying attention, maybe you're running late and in a hurry and don't notice, maybe you're an absent-minded person in general? It's frankly good practice to put the whole lid down, not just the seat, before you flush to avoid spraying around more toilet germs than absolutely inevitable, which is a good compromise because both parties will have to do an equal amount of lifting/lowering. I imagine it's something joked about a lot because it's one of those small little inconsiderate but non-malicious things that add up over the years? It's harmless and understandable even to people who don't have that particular argument?

Does anybody have a website or super quick/easy tool that will count the seconds aloud? Or every 5 seconds or so? I don't have a clock in my apartment and need a way of tracking time during yoga/stretching without having to count in my head or get up every 60 seconds to set a new alarm.

I swear I had found one ages ago but I can't find it again using google for the life of me. It probably wouldn't be that hard to do using audacity (just create a looping sound file, 60 seconds long, with a computer voice at the proper points) but then I'd have to download audacity and tinker around for a while learning how to do that.

Who the gently caress stands up to pee in their own home? Sit the gently caress down. Get some rest, look at stupid poo poo on your phone, and don't worry about aiming. Really I am baffled. Do you dudes stand up and pee at home? I only do it in gross bar/fast food place bathrooms.

I often find myself drinking many litres of excess water a day just so that I have every possible excuse to go sit down on the can and check if Werner-Boogle has made another post. Even that's not enough - in previous jobs I've had to fake diabetes to justify the number of times I go visit the toilet. But sometimes, just sometimes, all my hard work will pay off, and I'll open the toilet lid to find another little Werner-Boogle post waiting for me. When that happens I can't help but turn around, sit down, and squeeze off one or two of my own so he doesn't feel so lonely.

I am doing some excel work. I am copy pasting information from a table on a website into excel. There are a few problems. 1. Gaps created. The data table on the website has no row games between the data. By that I mean entry 1 is on row 1, entry 2 is on row 2. When I copy paste the information into excel, it is skipping lines. By that I mean entry 1 is on row 1, entry 2 is on row 3, entry 3 is on row 5, etc. Is there a quick and easy way to remove like, every other line? or flatten the data? 2. Trying to put all the text from many cells into one cell. Let's say there are five entries with company names in 5 individual cells. I want to easily and quickly copy and paste the 5 company names into 1 cell. What is the best way to accomplish this? I could technically do it by hand but there are thousands of entries.
