apologies to Baisao , LeoFox , karma . looks like i've stepped in it. when i wrote that post about jones, i had in my head a mostly harmless tinfoil hat caricature. like his performance in A Scanner Darkly (2006) . i wish he could have just stuck with that. in fact, i have not followed him and i gue...

I've heard about banned.video and infowars.com before, same operation I think?? I'll see what he has to say. Looks like he sells water filters :lol: This could be a good water filter for you :mrgreen: https://www.infowarsstore.com/alexapure-pro-water-filtration-system his face is all over both site...

nice!

interesting. thanks, @Rarity!

haha bok. do you have a pic of it?

here's one i got in yingge in the spring of 2015: taiwan-cracked-earth-pot.jpg maybe a bit kitschy in retrospect, but i still really like it. it's a well made pot. it reminds me of cracked earth: http://i.imgur.com/Wp8SOkF.jpg taiwan-cracked-earth-pot-inside.jpg seems wheel thrown, right? i don't kn...

@rainy, i merged your question into this thread.
