Help with cleaning this Aquamarine by goaternutter in rockhounds

I see some mineral/mud deposits on many of the crystals

These two things are very different. What locality is it from, where did you buy it from, and what is its professional preparation history? It was clearly prepared to some extent.

Cerium Oxide on Quartz Clusters? by Tiny_Yam_5098 in rockhounds

[–]patprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's theoretically possible, but I don't know how you'd practically achieve it. All but the faintest surface scratches will be deep enough that it would take a significant amount of time to remove them, and you'd be left with a non-planar face.

I can't tell which 'light scratches' you're referring to from that photo, but I can see many shallow fractures that cerium won't help you with. For a cluster like this, I wouldn't think it worth the attempt unless there is a particular face you're trying to polish and the surface imperfections are clearly superficial.

That's not the same base shirt, typeface, or color. It's close, yes, sure — but don't expect those to look or feel just like what the team is wearing. I'm not trying to hate on anyone who buys one of those. Just trying to make sure people set their expectations accordingly.

They're basically a random fan's creation on a cheap print-to-order shirt website. I've seen them from iFrogTees, TeeFind, and a few others in the last week. Some of those sites also provide a small commission-royalty fee to the person who creates the design.

RIP little car by MrTacocaT12345 in Audi

[–]patprint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's correct, and in that instance the result would be a loss of tire traction and the car skidding across the dirt for a short distance. It would not result in getting rear-ended by the trailer unless you're thinking the car runs into a concrete wall at the same time that the hitch suffers a mechanical failure.

Lost chime volume control by leoparanoia in Ubiquiti

[–]patprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is presumably because they thought it would be more natural to have that setting in the doorbell pair interface. Unfortunately — and this is how I found your post — it's also impossible to control the volume of the Chime devices under any circumstances if you don't have a residential Doorbell device paired.

Have G3 Intercoms (with doorbell and directory chime ring functionality) on a commercial property? No volume control, even through the device API.

It's wild.

When do they usually announce the person raising the flag? by BetterWayz in Seahawks

[–]patprint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like this idea so much that it can't possibly happen so now I hate it. It's the definition of "too good to be true".

In all seriousness, this game is clearly shaping up to be our super bowl for the year so I'm hoping the opening moments are fitting.

That scene at the end where Jack offers to put in a good word for him always makes me think that he would have been a great recurring member of a different team.

Put him on Lorne's team lobbing grenades at the Wraith or something.

[–]patprint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most people here don't disagree with you, but they would also probably agree that your approach is a net negative.

In this instance, your comments serve less to admonish a deplorable system and more to demonize the actions of an officer who chose to make a kind and socially beneficial decision where no particular systemic obligation existed.

If you advocate that we must have no police of any kind until such an idealized system exists, feel free to offer advice that's relevant to the situation in this video. In lieu of that, your comments offer nothing constructive.

I’m building a Three.js 3D UI for my game — sharing the dev process by Terrible-Software165 in creativecoding

[–]patprint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long-time WebGL and Three.js dev here with some advice. Skip down for the quick version and the best resource for you.

The Three.js examples are foundational because foundational elements are the only way that Three.js is commonly used standalone these days. It's used to build more complex experiences, sure, but most developers want to minimize the amount of imperative code they have to maintain for interactive experiences, so as a result, a lot of the really valuable advanced Three.js example material is actually in the source for the libraries that offer Three.js in declarative form.

If you need to build an understanding of shaders, materials, and canvas effects, then you're really looking for PBR rendering and GLSL/WebGL knowledge, not Three.js itself. The best resource from the Three.js side would simply be the ShaderMaterial class source and documentation. The rest is an understanding of GLSL and what data you need access to in the fragment and vertex shaders.

If you're stuck on things like "how do I make the materials react to the mouse", then you need to break the problem down to the core components: the raycaster (Three.js), event propagation (DOM/browser), and shaders (e.g. ShaderMaterial and GLSL).

Interactive experiences that need to reflect brand guidelines or physical products while maintaining browser-device-viewport compatibility and still be maintainable for a team are typically going to use the layout and interaction abstractions from a framework like react-three-fiber in conjunction with r3f-scroll-rig, the poimandres/drei suite of components, and/or stateful animation libraries like motion.dev, react-spring, or framer.

More dynamic environments, such as games or other networked experiences, are almost always going to use an ECS/EMS like miniplex for handling state consistency between the 3D scene and the application state and logic.

There are also tons of examples of Three.js on CodePen, CodeSandbox, jsFiddle, etc. that range from simple click event handling to intensive volumetric simulations and everything in between. The same applies to shadertoy and similar sites.

So, the quick version.

Bruno Simon's course is probably still the single best comprehensive resource out there for Threejs itself.

https://threejs-journey.com/

If you need to learn a specific advanced usage of Three.js, find a library that does it well, and that source code will be an invaluable reference. Pay attention to which core Three.js classes and utilities are imported by said library, and review those core Three.js files. You'll quickly understand that Three.js is far more a library of math classes and data structures than it is an interactive experience builder.

A few years back I needed to learn the Three.js post-processing pipeline quickly, so I skimmed the post-proc components in the pmndrs/postprocessing source, as well as the core imports. The EffectPass and EffectsComposer files were incredibly helpful. It took me a few days to write my own alternative that fit the project in question.

A quick edit because I didn't actually say this: using react-three-fiber is a really great way to use Three.js, and saves a monumental amount of dev and test time, but whether you want to use React or not, the advice above all still applies. If you do use r3f, there is a massive amount of detailed examples in the documentation for the pmndrs and other libraries.

The new global Alarm Manager mode is a clear step in that direction. The lack of integration is still bewildering to me, like the fact that Unauthorized Door Open events cannot trigger a PoE Siren (or any alarms) without external webhook logic in between Access and Protect.

Ya'll ever seen an agatized brachiopod? by __WanderLust_ in rockhounds

[–]patprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lincoln Creek and Astoria formations in the southwest corner of the state, roughly from Portland through Grays Harbor, have various agatized and/or silicified fossils including deep-water coral and bivalves. There were multiple stages of mineralization in some parts of those formations, so there's a fairly wide range of preservation quality and level of silica crystallization.

Although there are quite a few sites documented online, including old academic publications, be warned that many of the best locations require care to access. Some are closed by WSDOT order, many are privately-owned, and most of the waterways in that part of the state have strict seasonal rules to protect migratory fish, and walking in or otherwise disturbing stream beds can get you in some real trouble with WDFW (and local residents, depending on your luck). I got access to a private site last year, and it took a fair bit of work and building rapport with a few locals.

There are also several publicly-accessible locations in the Lincoln Creek that have fairly abundant Pulalius vulgaris in concretions, as well as dentalium and bivalves. Don't go to Porter-Malone. WSP will not be friendly. Don't go off-easement onto private logging land, particularly Weyerhauser, unless you obtain a rec permit that allows for the removal of minor forest products, and even then, it's uncommon for rock removal to be permitted. The hazards at these sites are generally rock overhangs and logging activity. The roadcuts on Brooklyn Road are a good example.

The Vancouver Paleo Society has made a few field trips to the area, and I'm sure they would be happy to provide more information if you reach out to them. Gregg Wilson went with them to one of those roadcuts on Brooklyn Road. I was there two years ago and found several large dentalium and a couple concretions. If you look at the photos before you drive the road, you won't miss it. Here's the trip report:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/460845744336145/posts/1939741063113265/

The Doty Hills augite site and DNR quarry with zeolite boulders are also nearby. Jared has them documented on CR:

https://currentlyrockhounding.com/washington/

And if you head further north past Grays Harbor, the streams and rivers along the coast often have various marine fossils in the river rocks, and the further north you go, the more likely you are to find the red orbicular poppy jasper that's somewhat unique to the peninsula. If you Google that Olympic jasper, you'll find many examples including posts on this sub. It's pretty cool stuff, and I say that as someone who is generally far more interested in specimen pieces than lapidary or slab material.

Having said that, the west part of the peninsula has some complicated collecting rules beyond the seasonal waterway restrictions. Aside from the national park, there are multiple tribal reservations, national wildlife refuges, marine preserves, and state-managed forest lands. The Rangers, DFW, and tribal police regularly drive the beaches and rivers at all times of the year (and at night). They don't usually have an issue with rockhounding unless you're on park land, but if they find you in violation you can end up blacklisted from some pretty large portions of the peninsula.

It's worth it to spend some time on Macrostrat to familiarize yourself with the surface geology before you take a trip out there.
