You can do it with a compass (pair of compasses) by drawing an arc from the point to intersect the line in two places.
Mark the halfway point on the chord, and join to the first point.

Maybe after a time the tops have been carved or defaced, so they've flipped them for a smoother surface, leaving the bar rather than taking them all apart.

Mothballs won't kill the skunk, giraffe. And pets certainly won't eat them. Put some in a tin can and squish the can so they can't fall out.

Two men walk into a bar and order the same drink. One man drinks quickly, walks out of the bar, and is unaffected. The other man drinks slowly, then falls off the bar stool dead.

I find the structure weak for a couple of reasons. The adjectives "adept" and "superior" are close enough in meaning that you could interchange them, so you're stating the obvious. In other words, you have created a tautology. It's like saying, "The smart MeFite is the bright one."
Your real point is "nobility, wisdom, and wit", and this would be better emphasized at the end of the sentence rather than as a parenthetic split in... [more]

I love emdashes so.
The New Yorker overdoes the commas and emdashes, as if to say, "If you can jump through our parenthetic hoops--and so many poor souls (God bless them anyway) cannot--you qualify to become one of our select readers."

Reviews are done by principals, vice-principals, directors of instruction, and/or superintendents. Their competence and personal/political agendas can vary widely. The most important measurement comes from the students, and with them you must strike a balance between being Mr. Easy-Peasy and being Mr. Hitler. You must have a strong sense of purpose; you must, to an extent, ignore what some students and administrators think of you, and do the most good for the majority of students. I know some... [more]

Are the coils at the back clean? They don't radiate heat well when dirty. Is there plenty of space for the heat to dissipate?

You may need to install an air admittance valve (AAV) if a vacuum build-up is causing your problem.

I think the key here would be to have a written contract that allows you to inspect for rust after they clean it, that specifies the type, quality and number of coats of paint, etc. I had to fire a painter who said he would do two coats, yet once on the job decided that one was enough.

Clay is the most obvious substitute for concrete. If the slabs are thin & dry enough and you're willing to experiment, you can do it all in one shot, without bisque firing.

Mirror channel clips are slick. Drill pilot holes through to studs, if possible, and use flat head screws. The bottom clips are screwed at the top of the hole to prevent downward movement. The top clips are inverted, and screwed at the bottom of the hole. The mirror/board/plexiglass is inserted, and the top clips are then slid down the length of the elongated hole to hold the top secure.

Try taking a picture, out of focus or not, and see if that resolves it.

Contact some high-end restaurants in London. Name your price and they'll probably meet it. That way you won't have to worry about packing and shipping. They're sure to make a profit, since they'll at least double the price. I did this with a case of '85 Lynch-Bages years ago. As I recall, they paid me $70 a bottle plus a couple of killer dinners for two. I made a small profit. It went on the menu for $175 a bottle. Everybody was happy. Be sure to ask for the dinners.
