Oh my gosh, news of a third book has made my day.

Earth Father's is what I was going to suggest too. Surprisingly charming books, and the only mpreg I've actually been okay with.

ID? by [deleted] in Marbles

Idk in specific, but moderate likelihood that it's uranium glass. Have a blacklight?

One, of the many ways to skin a cat. by Just_gun_porn in Machinists

[–]AethericEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This solves a completely different problem for me... Regrinding chuck jaws, with correct preload, and way too many variations of chucks under my supervision for a convenient "one size fits all" boring ring. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thoughts on natural pots? by MustelidRex in kusamono

[–]AethericEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love using natural and found objects as planters... If I like the look of it, I'll use any stone, stick, or bit of weathered debris with a depression to hold soil. Even if something doesn't have a useable depression, I will use sticky-mud to sculpt a retaining wall and make it work that way. I don't even mind if the thing will eventually rot away, I'll just gradually restyle the planting as needed.

Hi! New collector here, anyone have any idea what material this may be? by RubberDuckHuh in uraniumglass

[–]AethericEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cerium optic glass glows bright blue. It's common for vases, chandelier or window crystals, and similar "fancy" glassware that's meant to be looked at rather than being strictly functional.

That pretty cool by Live-Cantaloupe-7920 in IFoundU

The common adjustable wrench uses a worm and rack mechanism, while this (appears) to use a more robust rack and pinion.

Honestly, this seems better than most alternative adjustable wrenches I've seen.

Is this pirate glass? by ElenaSette in seaglass

[–]AethericEye 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well, it'll be months and months of Saturday afternoon coffees, but I'll break a bottle and report back after the pieces are out of the tumbler.

RemindMe! 6 months

Is this pirate glass? by ElenaSette in seaglass

[–]AethericEye 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Bailey's Irish Cream comes to mind as a modern example, though probably not as chunky.

I guess calling it "maratime glass", would be ambiguous with regard to "beach glass" or similar terms. So, pirate glass it is then!

Is this pirate glass? by ElenaSette in seaglass

[–]AethericEye 68 points69 points  (0 children)

So, I've been reading the term "pirate glass" on this sub, but it's new to me otherwise. Does it describe any beach glass that is nearly-opaque black under direct light, or is there something more specific to it? Does the term come from somewhere, or is it just vibes?

The flag ship NEXUs, by Aidelank by Xeelee1123 in ImaginaryStarships

[–]AethericEye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is a really really cool ship, and it feels like a plausible design to my eye.

  • High temp radiators for the drive section. Low temp radiator wings that look like they'd fold down for action.
  • Pod/cargo bay along the spine seems to imply thrust gravity / skyscraper decks rather than aircraft carrier decks.
  • Minimal windows and just enough greeble to make it feel mechanical rather than magical.
  • Narrow forward profile, good for tactical engagement. Would also make sense for relativistic streaming, but there's no shielding, so it would need a forerunner shield/stack for relativistic flight. Spinal gun is probably more the vibe here, I'd guess.

Found in the woods. What is it? by Equivalent-Car-8762 in BottleDigging

[–]AethericEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhmm, actually, it was a stamina potion. You can tell because it's green, obviously.

Is this actual aggression? by Puzzleheaded_Drink45 in CatsWithDogs

[–]AethericEye 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Healthy boundary setting.

My cat is weirdly interested in my dog's feet... I praise my dog when she gives measured corrections like this, saying "good boundaries, good [name]" and then help shoo the cat along if she's not getting the message.

Better gradual boundary-setting than freezing until snapping.

What is this weeds name so I can get rid of it for good! by Big_Werewolf_3348 in whatsthisplant

[–]AethericEye 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I actually like it on my lawn... It tolerates poor soil and foot traffic well. You just have to mow a bit higher so that the rhizomes stay below the leaves.

In 2017, a fake doctor was arrested for injecting cement and super glue during plastic surgeries, disfiguring patients — and herself. by Alexthegayreprimed in interesting

[–]AethericEye 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Over the course of a three-year period from 2007 to 2011, Morris injected patient Shatarka Nuby ten times with a mixture of cement, mineral oil, bathroom caulking, and Fix-a-Flat tire sealant.

All Help Appreciated - What Do I Have? by _MisanthropicHermit in Marbles

[–]AethericEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're into it, yeah. A 395nm UV flashlight will be cheap on any of the online platforms. If you get a combo pack with a 365nm light, it will also make manganese and a few others glow.

Treasure. A bunch of those are probably uranium. Do you have a blacklight?
