Haters gonna hate, ballers gonna ball

New machine incoming, but the most important piece of new kit arrived this morning.

PS: I am well aware that this is in every way a vanity purchase and a $20 tamper can do the exact same thing. I’ve worked in the bike industry for 30 years, and the shop I opened just finished its 15th year in business, and this was a celebratory present to myself. An absolute waste of money from a value proposition, but something that will make me smile every time I use it.

PPS: I realized not everyone here is aware that Chris King himself (the machinist who founded and still runs the company) is a HUGE coffee geek. At trade shows he used to set up an machine at his booth and personally pull shots for anyone who stopped by. These tampers are precision machined in a zero waste facility and are perfectly round, and exactly weighted. 100% intersection of coffee nerd and bike nerd stuff, but at least its a high grade and exacting product.

Metal, found in driveway right where the cars are parked, solid and weighs about one pound. Appears snapped on at least one end.

Took this nail out of our tire but my husband says I shouldn’t have done it. Is the tire screwed?
There’s construction near our home and one of their nails got into our tire. I pulled it out pretty easily with pliers thinking it surely hasn’t done damage since it’s not very deep in there. It’s about an inch long nail and this is how I found it. Now my husband is telling me I shouldn’t have pulled it out because the tire can go flat. What do I do? Is it likely it damaged the tire?

Found a platter of deviled eggs outside my garage
One of my dumb friends left just about a whole platter of deviled eggs outside my house after the Super Bowl. I don’t think they brought the eggs in for our gathering. Couldn’t even offer an egg in this trying time.

Someone stuck this on my sister's windshield in front of her on-campus apartment at UGA.
She called campus police and they opened a case. They instructed her to remove it and dispose of it away from her apartment complex.

Weird thing my sister found at the goodwill bins
My sister found this at the Goodwill bins and decided to put it on her bedroom door. None of us can figure out what it’s supposed to be. It looks kind of strange and doesn't seem to have a clear purpose. Thought this would be the right place to ask—any ideas?

Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket
The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not.

Box with knife in my sons room
Found this box with some symbol and a interesting looking knife wrapped in cloth in my sons room. What is it?
