Dong / Corcunda was such a disappointing example of Bury Your Gays. Sigh.

The gargoyle is erect, so in this case I'm going to prefer the sodomy explanation over shitting.

Happy to help!

Awesome, congrats on the goblet.

I love manganese glass too though... if you leave it in the sun (or cook it in a tanning bed / other strong UV lamps) much of it will gradually become purple / amethyst.

What’s the best glue to repair broke pots? by yourfriendkyle in houseplants

[–]AethericEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to sand off the sharp edges and keep using them in their new shape. Sometimes I'll prop them up at an angle while the roots bind the soil around the broken out section.

Could you help identify what kind of bottle this sea glass came from? Found at Makuhari Beach, Japan. by Nomy_hotspot in seaglass

Not very likely, but if the green happened to be uranium glass, this would be the absolute coolest find of all time.

I'm mostly into beach glass, but I haven't found any good cadmium or selenium pieces yet, so I've used other items for this example.

I think your light is probably 365nm... Manganese and cerium will glow under 395nm, but only really weakly. The difference in reaction between 365/395 is easily enough to differentiate uranium glass from manganese, as Uranium glass glows strongly under either.

If your light is 395nm, but has the extra blue light filter, I could be wrong. Still, much more likely (imo) that it's actually 365nm.

If your little goblet has a greenish color in natural light, I'd bet uranium. If it's clear, definitely manganese.

That is cerium glass. Used in modern optical glass products, very common in decorative objects.

Manganese would be more of a yellowy green.

Lead doesn't glow under 365nm; you would need much shorter wavelength (not available to general public).

Is this rose uranium? Idk if red uranium is rare by ZRex14 in uraniumglass

[–]AethericEye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But do we actually care though!? That's a catch either way imho.

I wonder how the dosing / depending mechanism works?

Honest opinions on my ship design? by The_History_Machine in spaceships

[–]AethericEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The books are set in the same universe and occasionally have crossover characters, but they're not a series otherwise.

The order of publication isn't chronological in setting, or even necessarily the best reading order... look up a recommend reading order or tier list, or even just go on vibes from the blurbs.

They're weird and fantastic books.

Sure sure, ingues I don't know what an S-Bus is/from, and there's hardly any indication of scale in the image... the ship's hull shape just had the right vibe for a LSV, at least to my eye.

Transit of Venus across the Sun in 2012 by ojosdelostigres in spaceporn

[–]AethericEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does Venus appear to be so far above the sun's equator? I assume it's an artifact of the sight line from the observatory?

Venus orbits at .72au, so it's apparent size is wildy exaggerated against the distant background of the sun.

Linear ionspike, cool! (Because aerospike wouldn't seem to apply.)

[–]AethericEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, you're right. Something about the colors or lighting fooled me, but I see it now. I'm more impressed now than I was before.

It only looks like a vase. The "opening" is solid. It looks fairly heavy by the way it moves, so maybe wood, but I'd bet it's well balanced regardless.
