One way to mitigate the damage from UV light is with Low-e glass. It's used in insulated windows to increase the R value of the window, but it also cuts out a lot of the UV light. I don't think I'd frame something with Low-e since it's a chemical sprayed on the glass and I have no idea what the chemical reaction would be with inks, but if a person wants to protect their furniture or other things in the house from a window*, it certainly helps. EDIT: * From an insulated window. Never install a single glazed piece of Low-e...you will hate yourself when it needs cleaning.
Look at this fancy guy with his "windows" and his "above ground bedroom" that isn't "owned by his mom."
You can get a very low (or no) tint film that you can put over glass that will block _most_ of the UV light if you really want to display your collectibles. You can also do what most people do with Magic: The Gathering when it comes to displaying/playing with expensive cards. Get a high quality reproduction made and display that. Keep the real thing in a cool, dry, and very dark place.
I have a collector signed print from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and I paid through the nose when I had it mounted and framed to get them to use "museum glass", which is a top end protective glass that protects things from UV damage. It works great.
I wanna know why big box stores have a minimum purchase for free shipping and then package and ship each item individually.
I mean, probably the literal answer. I guess it forces me to spend more money? The thing is, I'd probably shop more if I could buy individual items. I avoid these online stores unless I intend to spend the minimum and buy the other things from Amazon or Walmart. The current offenders are Home Depot and Target.
I can’t figure them out here at all. I ordered safety glasses and a lunch cooler from Home Depot, a store that I do not like. Both items were in the store I was driving to, lots in stock. The handed the cooler me in the parking lot, then mailed the glasses that were in the store to me which I get four days later. They were just plain in stock. I had to complain three times before they refunded the shipping charge. I mean... you don’t get to just charge me for shipping when you were supposed to hand it to me, that’s not on me.
Couriers charge by Dimensional Weight or by the actual weight, whichever is more. It's a calculation based on cubic size of the box and a number they wizard to assign weight per cubic inch. Meant to charge more for very large but light items that take up a lot of room in trucks. If packaging a set of lighter items in a large box, if that larger box's dim weight is more than the items total weight, it's cheaper for the retailer to break it up. In winter weather news it's started dumping snow and winter mix bullshit on us today. Im praying for a child like snow day tomorrow but my work is pretty lame about it. I will tell you this I have not shoveled a driveway in my adult life. When you can gun the engine and get a running start you make it up the driveway anyway and gravity works the way down when backing out. Why subject yourself to heart attacks and murderous shootings? Also in life's not fair for the non famous news. Remember that actress that played the predominant prostitute in the first few seasons of Game of Thrones? The one with the pillowey breast and approachable attractiveness that had a few super hot sex scenes? She: Spoiler Dated: Spoiler
I bought a large appliance for my mother for Christmas. I went to Home Depot, and the sticker on the shelf was 2x what it was listed on the website, so I ordered it online from my phone, waited for the kid to come retrieve it off of the shelf, then followed him up front to collect it. I probably could have achieved the same thing by talking to people, but my way also worked just fine.
That makes sense. Marilyn Manson also dated Dita Von Teese. Both women are Burlesque performers and obviously blind starfuckers.
If you had told them about it, you could have gotten a tasty discount against the online price. HD's system counts online purchases against the online store performance, and the store gets an inventory adjustment with a small "distribution" credit against their sales. If you buy from the store at the register, the store gets full credit for the sale, and the appliance associate gets it credited against their quota for the month. Generally, the manager helping you can get the costs out of the SAP backend, and they'll take it down as low as that.
Nailed it. Glorified exotic dancing to the soundtrack for “The Mask”. I guess it’s similar to how escorts and hookers are somehow two different things but.... no they’re not.
Back when I was managing the music store, one of the hardest lessons to drill into my employees’ heads was that every single person walking into the store WANTS to buy something, but a majority of those same people are trying to actively avoid having to talk to anyone about it. I didn’t understand why it was so hard for them to learn, because I can guarantee my employees probably all shopped that same way - I know I do.
we're supposed to get over half a foot over the course of the next week. And freezing rain on the days it doesn't snow. Lows in the single digits. In South Central Texas. Canada, y'all come get your weather. It's drunk in my yard.
tried that by putting as many states between us and them as possible. Didn't work. I'm gonna be bundled up inside my house next week like bernie sanders. Alright kids, get your snow jackets out, we're going to the living room!
We’re already building a flaming moat along our border and filling it with fireproof sharks. It keeps the 5G shamans from sneaking in and stealing our organic prison food.
