Nice to see it back again... Any IMR 4064/4895?

They still think that their steaks come precut on little Styrofoam plates from the backroom & not from Ole McGregors farm...

Wow, I had a 110 & 126 before I moved 'up' to 35mm [pentax k1000 & minolta x370).

Did that use the old 110 cartridge?

never noticed it before --- now time to rewatch a classic game of cat n mouse...

It may be something the way a human brain interprets numbers (price) and how you were taught rounding in math. <=5 round Down/=>6 round Up. Now when my wife wants something (purse, shoes) if the price is $99.99 its only $99 to play mind games.

You could have saved yourself -- Jeremiah Johnson was on last night...

Kinda funny - here we call it a Buy Back 'program' -- over there it's called a Buy Back "scheme" --- finally TRUTH in advertising [insert sarcasm] 😁.

In the early 80's I saved up my chores $ to buy an Estes Alpha-3 kit and then a few more weeks for engines after the ones in the kit were used. Built the Mercury Redstone, Gemini Titan II and the AIM54C Phoenix (was too chicken to fly that one) & never got the Saturn V kit. Got a few looks carrying a tackle box of equipment and balancing a 6' Mean Machine rocket on a bicycle... but the best part was 20yrs later dusted off the Redstone, Titan II and the A3 when my son's were old enough to both enjoy the launch and understand the safety that needed to be observed while using them. Oh and the Mean Machine, she suffered a post launch "anomaly' and went to the scrap heap... thanks for the memories!!! Somewhere, I may have G. Harry Stein's book - Handbook of Model Rocketry. Have to pass that down to the grandsons.

This was over on Accurate Shooters Forum - https://forum.accurateshooter.com/attachments/minns-idiocy-1-jpg.1724135/ New rules to follow in NewSouthWales (NSW)

A local mom-pop mechanic shop that I use for work that I am unable to do charges a 3% fee on top of the bill and they have it posted on the counter next to the card machine - quotes include the fee but also show a cash price (-3%) so it's up to the customer to decide. Local dealership that I used to frequent also charges 3% fee to their service bills. Big or small, almost all seem to be passing along the processing charges to the customer. Now seeing that in restaurants along with the tip line on the bill - I have yet to see the 'ancillary fee' for employee benefits on a bill in Az, sure its probably coming with the influx of transplants fleeing other states & bringing their "bright ideas"...

may be another one out there..... “Forgotten Winchester” now on display at Buffalo Bill Center of the West

Certainly, looks like the rivet is present (ouch) ---- testament to the quality of the cloth made back then --- current ones seem to last a short time before either the knees wear thru or develop a snag and start to fall apart....
