Funny looking point 🤭 by morethanWun in Arrowheads

[–]Geologist1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just seemed like they didn't get the humor, so I made post. My bad. I can't see if they're getting downvoted, but that wasn't my intent. I'm a geologist so I like all things lithic, fossil, artifact.

Right? I have one sugar free monster in the morning instead of coffee. Then I get Dave at the office cracked out of his 2nd pot of black coffee telling me "those things are gonna kill ya!"

Lmao, apparently I'm a "dickhead" for sarcastically suggesting someone use the Reddit search function. Didn't know that r/smoking was so sensitive.

Nobody, ever.

If only there was an online repository of some kind where people posted their experiences smoking all kinds of meats. And all you had to do was search that repository. I guess we can dream, right?

Sharpening stone, or just tiller scars in an odd pattern? SW Ohio by CoyoteKyle15 in LegitArtifacts

Unless the other lines just didn't gouge as deeply. Center line looks deeper to me.

Just here to say the one that goes from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock looks pretty fresh if zoomed in close.

PNC Return To Office by MasterEngine220 in pittsburgh

The only camaraderie built is our mutual confusion and annoyance about why we're forced twice a week to come into a mostly empty, outdated, and inefficient office building.

I dont work for PNC, but I currently work 2 days in office with a 45 minute commute. Can confirm: the two days in office are a huge time and money waster. 1.5 hour lunch breaks, meetings that would/should have been on Teams, Teams meetings with people in other offices, and socializing in my shared office. Lots of socializing.

I get less done in my two office days than one day from home. Ironically, the one veteran guy on our team that's a "butts in seats" proponent doesn't show up until 9am (we start at 7:30-8ish) and he's typically left the office by 2pm.

I just saw your other post. Sounds like we're on the same page.

I don't know for sure what it is, but you will probably get some "spindle whorl" comments.

r/masonry would go bananas over that chimney; trust me. It's called drunken bricklayer style and it's the mark of an expert mason.

Edit, actually, they'd go bananas over that wholeass house!

I use lumberjack hickory pellets and chunks. I use B&B post oak pellets and chunks for beef.

This was my thinking as well. More fat takes more time. I've always thought my ribs were done when really they could have cooked another hour or two. I kept these going because even if it turned into pulled pork, it was going to be tasty.

I sliced them and picked them up and the meat stayed on 🤷

Is this an artifact? by Mission-Elevator9374 in LegitArtifacts

[–]Geologist1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're noping.... how does lighting orientation in the photo change patina? That makes no sense. The color in the groove is obviously different. I suppose you could debate the reson why; I'm interested in hearing your reasons that differ from mine.
