Same here, I found 900+ nails at a dig in York and it totally flipped how I see leftover junk.

Wait, did you actually finish The Way of Kings after that mess, or did the group thing just kill it for you completely @jana_lewis16? Because I've seen that spoiler situation wreck people's whole reading mood. The daily page count trick works, but only if you're strict with yourself. Some days I hit 20 pages and call it a win, other days I burn through 80. It balances out in the end. Honestly though, the right group can make a book better, but it's a gamble. Most people just don't read at the same speed.

Huh, I've got the opposite experience with the dollar store spices, they always taste kind of flat and dusty to me. I grabbed their oregano once for a pasta sauce and it was like sprinkling sawdust, no smell at all. Maybe it depends on the location or the batch, but I'll stick with the pricier jars for the stuff I actually use a lot of.

Valiant comics were the original trap, everyone thought theyd be the next big thing. Still got a whole short box of Solar and Harbinger sitting in my garage, but honestly the nostalgia hits harder than the cash value. $40 for two long boxes sounds about right, the spec market ate itself years ago.

Tbh, foam around the sump is pretty normal on a lot of machines, and 8% vs 5% might just be splitting hairs on a good day. Those 30 year guys mean well, but they also tend to blame the coolant before the speeds and feeds.
