My 1981 price guide and the Spiderman prices from that year.

I read a lot of Robert E. Howard Conan paperbacks so of course I had to pick up some of the comic books. The paperbacks are long gone and I'd like to read them again, so can anybody here recommend a Conan anthology/collection? Conan the Barbarian #4

As long as you pack them loosely, I think you'll be all right. You should be able to easily thumb through them and pick one up and insert it back down with little effort. I also put a comic-size cardboard piece at the front and end of each long box, as those areas were subject to the most damage.

I lost interest in comic books around 1985 and put all my books into long boxes in a closet and didn't look at them for 35 years. I made some storage mistakes and here are some examples - don't do what I did! I stored them in poly bags without backing boards and packed them tightly into the...

Detective Comics #362. Nothing notable about this one, except to me. It was one of the first comics I remember owning as a kid. My mom was dragging me around to a bunch of garage sales and I was bored stiff until I saw a pile of old comic books at one home. My mom let me choose one and...

Is it OK to show off books from your collection here? If no one minds, I'd like to post a few pictures from my collection over the next few days/weeks. Avengers #4. I bought this in/around 1980 for $3. It's in pretty bad shape with severe spine roll and is considerably more yellow than the...

My biggest is a pronunciation. Years ago, everybody said conTRIBute or disTRIBute. Now lots of people say CONTribute or DISTribute and it drives me crazy.

This was my second too. Still have it and the original box. First one controller broke, then the second one and stuck it in a closet. Don't know why I never threw it out - been in one closet or another ever since.

Reminds me of the time I turned my high school debate teacher's hood ornament 90 degrees before we drove off to a debate to another school. He didn't notice it at first, but when he did it eventually bothered him so much he had to stop the car, get out and orient it correctly before finishing...

This happened back in the '80s, when saturated fat was thought to be the devil. McD switched from frying their fries (and fruit pies too I think) in beef tallow to some crappy vegetable oil.

Scrunch up the paper loosely into a wad to remove the curl. Don't pack too tightly or the paper will get tiny holes.

Pathetic attempts at who is the most pathetic! I finally got Nalak's mount last night after 1133 attempts - now that's pathetic. Just 3 Pandaria world mounts to go.

That's Towellie's (sp?) girlfriend, Lula.

Good point. An example of this is the stun effect from the stone elemental boss in Torghast. The edge of the swirly effect is vague and I've gotten hit by it several times. It's also relatively short casting so you really have to be quick and move a long way to avoid it.

Jaques Pepin does this and mentions the risk every single time in his videos.

It's the M+-like torments they added that make it more annoying. So to make them less annoying they added a talent tree. Two more systems!

Preach is interviewing Ion today at 10 AM PST on 9.1

Spend 35 grateful offerings at your covenant armor vendor and you can have that last memory.

Diabetics who don't use artificial sweeteners probably eat better in general than those who do. Was that accounted for in the study, i.e. what else they consumed?

Agree. If sweetness without sugar triggered an insulin response, emergency rooms would be flooded with people who drank diet soda or ate food with sugar substitutes due to low blood sugar.

Don't think so. Items were in stock and it was a 2-day ship.

Got a message from Amazon that a problem occurred during shipping and my package was undeliverable, that they are returning it, and I will be issued a refund in 3 to 5 days. WTF. Why not hold onto it until it becomes deliverable? If I order again will the same thing happen? I suspect it was...

I read long ago that that was Wal-mart's fault. They kept insisting on lower prices or they'd stop stocking Miracle Whip, so Kraft accommodated by lowering the oil content. One of the few tragedies of capitalism.

It can be all three, or just 2, or just beef. Here's my grandma's recipe. 1 pound ground chuck, or equal parts beef/pork/veal, or 50/50 of beef/pork or veal. 1/2 c. breadcrumbs 1/4 c. (or more to taste) grated parmesan cheese 1 t. salt 1/2 t. black pepper chopped basil chopped parsley 1 egg...

My Sicilian grandma used basil and parsley, never oregano.

But casuals aren't talented enough, or don't know, or don't care about the punishments of not interrupting now, will they really start paying attention if it changes to benefits instead?

As a casual myself, I think the easiest way to ingrain interrupts is to make the mobs they encounter most, leveling and probably outdoor WQ mobs, really hurt if they don't interrupt. Mobs that complete heal, take a huge chunk of health or put on a big dot, root/slow, or an annoying 5 minute...

My gnome's garrison has gnome guards and recruited all 24 possible gnome champions and leveled them to max. Shame there weren't 25. And you can guess the music theme.

I don't understand the complaints about M+ being overtuned. I don't do it myself, but isn't it a natural thing when you keep pushing the keys higher and higher? Perhaps the issue is that ilvls are no longer increasing substantially this late into the expansion, so Blizzard is tuning M+ down to...

Cans with dents on the upper rim make them tougher to open with my can opener. Seems to be a lot more lately and I'm blaming covid and the disruption of the smooth flow of goods.

Doctor offices taking your blood pressure immediately, rather than waiting after you've been sitting for 5 minutes like every instruction for the procedure in the world tells you to do.
