Maybe it's just because I'm a crypto investor only, but I still cringe when I see that people would be buying things with crypto at this early...
Ah, I see. A small die chip on the reverse left most cactus paddle and one on the, er, whatever it is under the cactus. Hmm, I would have just...
No problem. I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and lend your insights.
Yeah, I figured. Oh well, one could hope. I'll keep looking for a retained.

Sorry, that was incorrect wording on my part. It's interesting to me that thread/lint could cause that much indentation, I mean. Not strange to...
