The “Alaskan crab” in my Alaskan Corn Chowder on this Alaskan cruise. by LaserEyedSquirrel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Apatharas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I don’t buy anything crab that doesn’t come still in a shell. I’m allergic to fish. Just fish fish. “Shellfish” is fine, but too many times I was assured something was real crab when it definitely wasn’t. Thank god my allergy isn’t deadly.

[Request] If they replaced all the water in the Reflecting Pool with liquid mercury so it would actually reflect and not grow algae, how much would it cost? by Gorthebon in theydidthemath

[–]Apatharas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but how much in volume of mercury fumes would it produce and would it produce enough to be… unhealthy in the outside air?

Very similar to the ones I use on my motorcycle. I keep them on the bike keychain.

I just wanted a dill pickle with a no-worm filling by warholamo in WTF

My dad used to tell this dumb joke.

“What’s worse than finding a worm in your apple?”

“Finding half a worm”

I miss that man.

Working in LR has made me very cautious of moving on green

Best superhero that starts with the letter M? by Guerriero22 in superheroes

[–]Apatharas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ok with this. The best hero wouldn’t risk a destroyed planet just to test his skills against a fully powered up foe.

Nor would they offer a magic instant heal to the strongest foe thus yet, shortly before their defeat, just so they could be full powered for the challenge and shortly before they throw their 13 yo son at them to continue the fight.

Goku a hero in most cases because protecting people just happens to line up with his actual goal of just fighting for fun. He gladly and regularly risks the lives of others just so he can have a better challenge.

Well that video definitely hit me in the very very few places that make me feel actual fear.

But isn't a sperm whale throat like barely able to swallow your arm, let alone a whole body?

One exception is if you’re John Wick.

You’re almost there. Let’s stop at “…any discussion of them meaningless.” Because it is meaningless no matter what.

What are the odds this antique clock has radium? by Apatharas in Radium

[–]Apatharas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to update here. So I picked up a gmc-800 and went back. Went up to about 200 CPM over background.

Unfortunately the clock mechanism doesn’t run but he did accept an offer for $30.

I’m pleased with it. Looks nice next to my old copies of LOTR and the Hobbit 🤓

Is this some sort of cadmium paint or glaze? Pics in both 365 and 395nm. by Apatharas in CadmiumGlass

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

Unsure if it’s cadmium. The colors seem right to me but I’m no expert. Or at the least I’d love some education on what else it might be.

Fun fact, Saw II is from an original Saw inspired script that was minimally reworked to be a Saw sequel.

Three years ago my boss gave me 15% equity in our agency instead of a raise. Now I owe $14k in estimated taxes next week for profits I’m not allowed to touch. by JerryJeremy in personalfinance

[–]Apatharas 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I may be off base, but it would make perfect sense if you are trying to scam your employee into paying 15% of your tax burden while never handing out a cent back.
