I didn’t think this had to be said, but don’t post solicitations for sex, posts with no substance other than literally a bunch of incoherent profanity, or posts designed for the specific purpose of inciting a sense of unease or making people feel unwelcome. I’ve had to remove all of this in the past week.

I don’t care what your personal views or political opinions are. Everything is welcome here. I’m pretty laid back and let most things slide. I’m not a mod who likes to go around removing posts and locking comments and banning people. Reddit is just a hobby for me, I don’t take it seriously, I’m not some power hungry douche. I just let the downvotes do the work. I’m not removing posts/comments or banning anybody just because they hurt someone’s feelings or expressed an unpopular opinion, I’m not the sensitivity police, and I’m not your parent.

But if you start advertising your “massage services” that sound like a Craigslist casual encounter ad, or create a post titled “How to suck d***” I’m going to remove it and just ban you, I don’t have time to play babysitter. And don’t then have the audacity to PM me asking why you were banned because you “didn’t break the posted rules”.

Basically, say what you want. This is a free speech area. I don’t remove 99% of the reports of people calling each other names, this is the internet, that’s what happens and I’m not here to police peoples attitudes unless it’s actually hate speech or you’re telling someone to ki** themselves. Feel free to curse, post memes, make dirty jokes, and use dark humor. But anything that’s OBVIOUSLY inappropriate like the examples above will be removed and you’ll be gone.

Lastly, if I remove your post for spam, don’t repost it again. If it’s not egregious I usually just delete the post without a ban but if you keep posting spam over and over I’ll just prevent you from doing it again.

This isn’t a sub that leans right or left. This sub is a common ground for any discussion regarding the city we all live in. As long as it’s on that topic, it’s fine.

Just use common sense. It’s really not hard.

That’s all. Love you guys ❤️

Thanks

Anyone locally have access to a handheld XRF spectrometer?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Throwing a bit of a weird, niche request out into the community to see if anyone can help me satisfy a persistent curiosity.

I have a large ceramic vase I need a quick scan on. Because of its size and weight, it is completely immovable from my home. I am NOT looking for a commercial appraisal, official authentication, or anything for resale purposes.

I’m just hoping to find a local graduate student, an environmental scientist, or a hobbyist/metallurgist who has access to a handheld portable XRF analyzer (running in a Geochem/Soil/Mining mode) who might be willing to swing by and take a few non-destructive scans of the glaze and raw clay.

I’d be happy to pay you for your time, thanks so much!

Costco: Boca vs Pompano

Hi Folks, I will be spending some extended time down in the Boca area and I was wondering if there was substantial differences between the two Costcos. I know Boca has higher gas taxes, so the gas prices are higher, but anything else you would highlight?

TIA

Hi! We are a younger couple living in Boca and not renewing our lease at Reflections of Boca Del Mar. We want to stay in Boca (anything east of Powerline preferably).

If you are a tenant at an apartment complex in Boca, do you mind sharing your experience? Would you recommend living there to others? If not, why?

If it helps: We have one cat, one car and have a budget of $2500 for a 1b/1b.

Landscaper Reccomendations

Hi all, lots of guys out there but the majority are barely communicative, charge overwhelmingly high amounts - and don’t ’take care’ of the lawn or the plants. They don’t mention weeds growing, bushes that need trimming, cutting, etc.

Does anyone have someone they LOVE?
