@freemo Those two are really nice!

I love Silver, and the patina on the Greek Drachm is exquisite. So pretty!

Don't have anything that ancient and precious, myself, just more recent silver coinage for bullion hoarding purposes.

I love the Spanish silver Reales pieces from the Colonial period. The famous Piece of 8, a solid chunk of silver, almost a Troy ounce weight.

Got to be very careful with the historical, high value coinage, as they are tempting targets for fakery.

Here are a couple nice examples. They usually have the two pillar designs. I have a reproduction in slightly smaller size and weight, made so as to not be perceived as an original.

@shibaprasad Wonderful, if you liked the Classic version, you will love Current.

You CAN keep the two at the same time -- they install in separate folders by default, and don't interfere with each other. You need to reinstall Add-ons on the second version, then it's ready for use.

If you use the Synch option and login with a Firefox account, your bookmarks, settings, will be updated and can be accessed from any other Firefox installation; desktop or mobile.

It's a great feature.

But everything is always changing - that's one of the few things we can take for granted.

An enlightened Philosopher once said that you couldn't cross the same river twice in your lifetime.

For no matter when you return, the river has changed. And so have you.

I found this profound, and assumed it was from the Buddha, but no, it's from greek Philosopher Heraclitus.

@freemo
Oh, thank you. No rush, whenever you feel is the right time. I will be glad to help.

Love this place. TY...

@realcaseyrollins

@freemo No, thank you, it's just me getting tired of seeing a certain user's posts.

For now, I can use the button, and just like on a TV Remote, it's a delight indeed. 😜

But thank you for offering!

@freemo I love them too. So much fun, and to think how long they have been around, what transactions they facilitated.

The pretty silver coin in the photo, the one in bottom right corner, I imagine it's an Arabic, a Dirham perhaps?

The script is so pretty.

@shibaprasad Hello, and thank you -- just starting the day and I am happy you enjoyed it.

The "Current" version of Waterfox is super fast for me too - and it's not a Google property (with all consequential surveillance on you at all times).

I use it on Android phone as well, although right now the app is not showing in the Play Store.

The android one also supports add-ons, and I have the same ones I use in Windows installed on it too.

- uBlock Origin

- a password manager

- and Bypass Paywalls (to read online news that normally lock you out after a few articles read.)

Bypass Firewalls is NOT listed on the FF Add-ons directory, as the Media companies would have a fit. Get it here: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-firefox

Very easy, one click install.

And Waterfox -- the home is at https://www.waterfox.net/releases/

Get your choice of :

* 'Classic' (the default, if you use the Download button at front of the site);

* "Current"-- this is the faster version, released once a month. Currently, October release, based on FF 68.0a2

Windows 64 Current, Direct link: https://storage-waterfox.netdna-ssl.com/releases/win64/installer/Waterfox%20Current%202019.10%20Setup.exe

@esperera_98 I always liked the witches much more than princesses.... 😜

Idea to finished product above. AutoCAD 2d front view for layout and parts size determination.

Not mine, I should say, it was made as a present for a December birthday girl.

Who will flip when arriving home and finding this surprise waiting for her.

'T is the Season...

Wine filled Advent Tree, counting down from now.

@smj@mastodon.sdf.org Near zero C, 32 F in the region here today, freezing rain and slick roads all over.

Dangerous driving, pain to clear windshields.

@realcaseyrollins That makes you think what a drag it is for site Staff, who have to keep an eye on all posts.

I plan to volunteer for mod staff, and then wouldn't be kosher to have posts unseen on a local instance feed. but for now, it's ok and freshens things up nicely.

@realcaseyrollins Some annoyances that I feel better not seeing in my local feed.

Hence, used Mute a local user.
