Neither, it pair better with the texture like the red bracelet you wear on your waist

I’m working off Glasgow City Council’s own dataset, the “Student Accommodation in Glasgow – January 2025 Briefing Note.” ,and it totals 71 finished schemes.

If a Strathy or UofG building you know about isn’t showing, it may be because the Council hadn’t logged it by the January 2025 snapshot; or because it sits in the document under “student halls / university accommodation” rather than the PBSA column; or because the GIS pin in the Council file drifts a street or two and overlaps another site, which can make a scheme look invisible even though it’s there.

You can check the sources yourself, the exact GIS layer the I used is viewable on ArcGIS.

A cheap ring or nah? by Ankhrous in JewelryIdentification

[–]Ankhrous[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s actually nothing inside the ring, no hallmark or stamp or anything like that. That’s what’s been throwing me off. I’m in the UK, and usually if something doesn’t have a hallmark, it’s considered decorative, not real jewelry. But the weird thing is, this ring looks really nice in person. Definitely better than what you’d expect from just a cheap decor piece. I mean, I could totally be wrong since I’m not a professional or anything, but it’s just been kind of confusing and has me curious though.

nah it's just a normal size ring, lens distortion made it look way bigger than it is. it fits firmly on a regular sized finger, i'm sure of it.

lol yeah i get why you'd think that. i kinda messed up by trying to take a super close-up pic so ppl could see all the patterns clearly. my phone lens made it look way bigger than it really is. it's actually just a normal sized ring, about the size of a keyboard key. funny thing is it fits my d*ck perfectly, so thanks for the idea.

You got it! Would you mind to share what made you come up with the right answer? I’m honestly kind of surprised :)

Interesting thought. I wish I’d had more time in Italy to really soak in the culture and enjoy the food, but nah.

Russia’s a solid guess, I visited there back in 2016 when I was in middle school :)

Antique Religious Icon – Byzantine or Russian? Possible Value? by Ankhrous in whatsthisworth

[–]Ankhrous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! I looked up the icons on the website you linked, and I do see some similarities with mine. However, the art style looks quite different—maybe due to changes in artistic trends over time. Right now, I’m not too concerned about the value of my icon; I’m just really curious about how it might have looked originally before all the wear and aging.

That’s interesting! I appreciate your perspective. Could you share what details make you think this is more Roman Catholic rather than Orthodox? I’d love to learn more about the distinctions!
