In the world of specialized test equipment, $20k isn't too bad at all. It's a certainly still a lot of money in absolutes, but the barrier to entry is simple very high for this class of kit. The sales volume is low and the engin

You're the third person to suggest this post-canning mustard treatment. But you are polite and cordial about it instead of outwardly dismissive, and this is appreciated. I'm no stranger to mustards. I've got a few varieties

Of course. This does not produce the same results as fish that have been cooked/canned in mustard sauce and left together for months (or years). This difference is important to me. The old, fish-flavored mustard goop at the bottom of

I don't understand this question. Most of the sardines I get come from Poland. I very seldom see Morroco listed on the tins that I get. I do not understand how an unstated price can infer origin, or species, or the presence of only b

I can't find what I want for sardines in Ohio. What I want is non-premium-brand, not-Chinese sardines -- in mustard sauce. These brands can vary: Chicken of the Sea, Beach Cliff, and whatever the house brands of stores like Wal-Mar

Is it possible someone had your number before it was yours, and that they were a hot target for spam? My US phone numbers over the years[1] have normally been very quiet, but I've had a couple that were quite spammy. [1]: I've bee

In my case, I don't see it as a domain that I lost. I sold it. Trademarks are interesting. They don't need to be registered in order to be protected (although they can be registered), and they aren't usually absolute (even

I once got $6k out of a domain that I was using. It was a very good name and I think I had a solid case for keeping it, but I was not prepared to fight for it. Anyway, you got $2k. That's way better than paying for lawyers and losing
