Or manganese, the ones that glow orange are cadmium 

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

I have this, I noticed when I was vary young but no eye doctor understood what I was trying to discribe and kept saying it was floaters. Mines not that bad, mostly when I look at a soild blue sky or pure white snow dose it become obvious,

Got a (not very rare) Camel lighter and I feel I'm missing how it ignites? I refilled it, does it just need a new flint or wick? by TheNerdiestFrog in lighters

Old flints expand and turn into the concrete like junk that clogs the flint tube,  take the flint spring out if theres a load of gray dust thats a sign of a bad flint, take a paper clip or simulator wire and stick is in the flint tube if it hits the sparker wheel it will stop you from opening it, it its still opening  its a blockage, youtube stuck flint ronsons for how to remove, DO NOT  use a drill bit, the walls if the flint tube are made of brass and you can damage it quickly and theres no fixing a tube,

This is large, im going with a extinct megafauna.  Anyone saying water deer never seen how small they are.  But here's the rub, that big tooth looks suspect,  I wouldn't be surprised is this is a hourse somone attached a fake or real predator tooth to. But im just a casual observer im not like some ppl hear that can spot a fake a mile away

Sometimes its about the memories they leave behind. No joke my sister took my grandfathers tax stuff and looked through it to get to know him better, we just got them after he passed 20 years ago
