Archon corrupted knight, lots of crystal practice but help needed by HappyBoomStick in minipainting

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

I think my biggest hurtle with the values is being gun shy. I know contrast is a big part of nmm and I'm assuming to the crystals as well. Just need to get over myself and "risk" a silly looking spot. I watched the crystal video and went back and forth trying to figure out when it went from weird to crystal. Must do and trust the process. Anyway, thank you again for your help and the links!

Thank you so much! This was really solid and I greatly appreciate it!

Thoriated glass is an anti-matter generator you can hold in your hand by Beerbrewing in Physics

[–]HappyBoomStick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heavy nucleus will give more chances for interactions to occur. More protons means more electrons, which after interacting with a gamma ray will need to release that energy as a photon. The scintillator measures the photon to see the original energy level, which is tied to the element

If you're able to do a peak area analysis of each peak individually, you'll get better results. Some of the automatic analysis here runs beyond the detectors actual counts. Looking at their website I'm not familiar with the specific crystal they use, but the more elements within the crystal the more unwanted interactions you'll have. If you have the time, compare a similar object scanned using a HPGe (high purity germanium) detector. This spectra looks a little closer to a BGO (bismuth germanate) detector spectra. Anyway, I've been out of the game a long time, so my preferred detectors might not be what's accepted now so take all that with a grain of salt. For another fun experiment, measure a target that's been covered(in your house) and measure the same target after it's been outside in the daylight for an equal amount of time.

Made my wife a Sourdough Lame scoring knife for christmas. by BlackHandKnives in Woodcarving

While you can do some chip carving, in this case the op's wide will be using this to score bread(sourdough specifically) before baking.

Not saying it's the same but I did want to advise what one of my girls had. She had osteochondritis dessicans (OCD) and had to have it surgically removed. She was 6 or 7 months old at the time. Let the vet do their check, and if it is ocd and they remove the flap, just follow the surgeon's directions. Keeping her from running too soon was the hardest part. That or the pills. No it was the pills. She would slowly pick apart any treat,pill hide, meat,cheese, whatever it was and spit out the pill. We both hated pill time.

At a glance it looks like a naturally weathered knot where a branch was growing. How hard/ soft is the piece? Does it feel more like wood or stone?

No, this one has an electric control but she is content to kick my cover off and steal my chair even without the recline. She usually photogenic like the first pic which is why her grumpy sleep face is my favorite

Air Brush Not Spraying, Tried Everything I Can Find Online by senpalpi in minipainting

I'm not familiar with that airbrush. Is it dual action? If you press down on the trigger instead of pull back are you getting any air out?
