  - Danish modernish -- (link) - colin Oct 5, 06:45 3
    - I love the one you posted, but wish the brass option were brassier, like this.. -- (link) - colin Oct 5, 06:48 2
      - I love the globe of the 9" brass of this one (I want almost comically large, I think) but I hate the fixed bend in the stem. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 06:51 1
        
        Yah that's a little goofy -- nm - colin Oct 5, 06:57
- mostly unrelated, but I would like a lamp made out of an old surveyor’s tripod. that is all. -- nm - mafic Oct 5, 05:51 8
  - old movie tripods (aka Sticks) i think are the same thing -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 11:25
  - I saw one just like that. I'll try and find it and post it here. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 05:57 6
    - Oh, they're way more popular than I realized and a lot of places make them. -- (link) - Krusty Oct 5, 05:58 5
      - I saw one at a place in Vancouver several years ago and they wanted like thousands of dollars to ship it here. -- nm - mafic Oct 5, 06:34 2
        
        containers are cheap now! Buy a couple of dozen and ship them your self and sell 'em and profit! -- nm - decline Oct 5, 06:37
        
        This looks like something you could make yourself on a Sunday afternoon and save a nice chunk of change. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 06:37
      - 280 bucks?!?! -- nm - decline Oct 5, 06:01 1
        
        Yeah, they don't appear to be cheap. They make smaller ones that cost less but they seem to be a bit more pricey than I would expect. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 06:07
- get 4 of them in different colors like in the 3rd picture -- nm - decline Oct 5, 05:51
- I'm not a fan of this style of lamp but it might work well in your nook. Would you put it behind one of the chairs so the lamp hangs between them? -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 05:51 5
  - yes, behind oliver's chair. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 06:09 3
    - If I were to sit in Oliver's chair, which is the most likely outcome: (a) Oliver in lap, (b) Oliver scolding me, (c) Oliver slinking away dejectedly -- nm - Barynn Oct 5, 06:43 1
      - some light scowling until you get up (and you *will* get up). OC is a lap *adjacent* cat, not a lap cat. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 06:46
    - I think it would work well there. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 06:37
  - yeah, my mom had one (but with a comically oversized lampshade), and I found it a little oppressive. smaller shade is better tho. -- nm - mafic Oct 5, 05:53
- (the nook in question) -- (link) - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 05:48 [Backboard] 2
  - Are you getting rid of current lamp? -- nm - spamlet Oct 5, 06:02 1
    - oh yes. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 06:09

I've scheduled my Covid bivalent booster for the CVS on one side of street as opposed to the CVS on the other side of the street. - Barynn Oct 5, 05:39 5

  - Target today, across from Hampton Village Schnucks -- nm - Barynn Oct 5, 06:01
Has anyone in sports ever had a better contract season than Aaron Judge? Much respect to the man. He bet it all on himself and delivered. - Krusty Oct 5, 05:35 5
- I’d throw Flaccoin the mix only because Judge was going to get a ton of cash upfront even with an okay year. - Will Hunting Oct 5, 05:52 4
  - Judge was offered 7 years at $213.5M—at 30 years old—not sure he gets the years he wants. Maybe 5/$200M -- nm - Flavorize Oct 5, 05:56 2
    - He will get 7 without question and probably 8. 8/320 is my guess. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 5, 06:22 1
      - Probably right—someone will pay him that, coming off this monster year. But, 30 years old, high strikeouts and often injured player… - Flavorize Oct 5, 06:41
  - Flaccoin is the NFL’s new crypto project. -- nm - mafic Oct 5, 05:54

- I barely ever felt anything the 3 or 4 times I took it. Just a mild pain in the arm. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 5, 06:50
- I mean it happens. It doesn't not happen. They should tell you to take acetaminophen if you get sick. - con_carne Oct 5, 06:15
- Everyone is different but I have never had any physical response to a flu shot, other than, maybe, a slightly sore arm if i touch it. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 06:01

    - My pharmacist said a couple drinks after the covid vaccine was okay. I was going out with a friend for their birthday. - sycor Oct 5, 05:47
