    I was going to start a thread complaining about eBay but decided there were already enough threads covering this topic so I deleted it.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I was gonna open a new thread this morning on how annoying it would be to see a thread about deleted post created, and there sat @Coinstartled in all his glory :D

    Was going to start one about a coin that, IMO, was slaughtered in the grading room, but thought better of it.
    Was also going to start one on a coin which, also IMO, is overgraded by at least a point(old blue holder) I sent in for review and they somehow stood by the grade. I thought better of that one too.

    No sense beating an apparent dead horse on another 1849/6 H10C...especially when I can just revive a previous thread.

    Mad magazine once did a spread about content that was produced but never printed as it was too edgy even for that publication.

    Wish I still had the copy. :)

    I actually started working on one this morning for this photo, to see if anyone knew what kind of machinery it depicted. It's WAY off-topic so I was planning on photographing a coin from the late 1800's to post with it. Since we're here, does anyone know?

    Maybe we should have a thread where we talk about threads we might post, but are unsure about. So we can flesh out the ideas and get down to the nitty gritty. Maybe sticky it and call it the Possible Threads Thread. :D

    I have one all written out about my recent customer service encounter earlier this year after the new guy started and CS had supposedly been improved ; but I'd like to continue as a member that has posting privileges so it still sits unposted.

    I've about 25 in the "my drafts" folder.
    Usually written after drinking, and wisely not posted when reviewed the next morning.

    Hydroelectric generator (turbine)

    That was my first thought, but I haven't been able to find one that matches it. All of the images I've found are of vertical generators, not horizontal like this one.

    The Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Station

    “Starting over one hundred years ago, power companies have used water in the Niagara River to generate electricity. Strangely enough, they don't touch the water which goes over the falls. Instead, about a mile above the falls, much of the river is diverted into pipes which lead it downwards to the generating stations.”

    Wow- thank you!!! That looks like it, right down to the windows in the building. Got the photo at an antique mall for $2.00, so I think I did pretty well.

    Safer to spin vertically than horizontally. If a turbine fails and comes apart then fragments generally go up or down. Additionally, there should be less damage to other turbines.

    If it comes apart, as pictured, pieces will be flung around 360 degrees and being around while that occurs is probably not conducive to one’s health. Other turbines will be hit and fail and etc.
