Winner: pao for $6,560.56
These nine coasters made from genuine copper products feature English translations interleaved with the cuneiform transcriptions of some choice quotes from amongst the Ea-Nasir tablets found at Ur, notoriously known for containing some of the oldest recorded customer complaints.
"Act in such a way that Idin-Sin will not become angry."
"I have made you issue a tablet. Why have you not given the copper?"
"Show him 15 ingots, so that he may select 6 of them that are good."
"Do you not know how tired I am?"
They are made from the same stock that custom circuit boards are made from, but with hand-engraved text and covered with a layer of clearcoat for protection.
Partake in some regarding of history while you partake in some drinks with good company!
In a world where it really feels like things don't exist unless they're posted onto the internet, I feel more and more that the time I could spend documenting myself doing the thing is better spent doing the thing.
While diving deep into miscellany,
Following through on ideas (too many).
And though I have doubt,
Some times it works out!
With time and money (don't have any).
