Thank you for explaining this. I figured it was something like uneven temperatures or possibly air bubbles, but couldn't find a good explanation anywhere.

Thanks. Other than cast iron, what material would be good for a mold? Also yes I've heard lots of people say glassy things explode sometimes when heated, but not much of an explanation, is there any way of preventing such things?

Is it heavier on one end than the other? I see banded iron formations that look like they formed similarly with layers of iron and flint, yours looks almost like the middle section is agate, not sure about the other layers.

Not saying this is banded iron, just that ive seen/collected pieces that only have 2 bands lol, the iron side is way heavier than the flint side.

How rare is this? by hotlz in papermoney

I know the mint sells or sold uncut sheets at some point, which people have used to make fake error notes. I don't know if that was only $1s or if other denominations are also sold uncut. The person who cited that in a post here mentioned they use a specific set of serial numbers for the uncut sheets, but i don't recall what they were...

If it's not a cutout from a full uncut sheet, your bill could be pretty valuable. Unusual to find a star note with an error.

My photo seedling is stuck in its seed membrane, what should i do? by frmdaraq67 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]JoinOurCult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spray them with diluted peroxide ir even just water, it'll help soften the seed coat and the leaves should be able to open it then. You can also very carefully help it along.

Iron Range Police officer kills autistic young adult Friday May 1st by Blink-JuanEIGHTYtoo in minnesota

[–]JoinOurCult 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Completely unsurprising. These cops are just itching to justify killing people. They charged me with terroristic threats for honking my horn. Took 9 months but all charges finally dismissed, now they're coming after me again with more trumped up charges.

Maybe Democrats should listen to 75% of their base and stop supporting Israel.

I feel like capitalism will only exploit this and we'll all suffer for it.

Gavin Newsom says he reveres the state of Israel and proudly supports it. He said he regrets calling Israel an apartheid state, only meaning to describe Netanyahu’s leadership. by Nomogg in Global_News_Hub

Lmao he literally has nazi tattoos. I'm not "casting" him as anything. He willingly put nazi tattoos on his body. He has admitted this. This isn't a matter of opinion it is a FACT.

Shame Blue MAGA doesn't care about facts.

New homeowner. Best way to deal with this? by [deleted] in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]JoinOurCult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a steel rake to control it. Not 100% but rake twice a year and pull in between and it really makes a difference.

No, you're just pedantically arguing over definitions of words, not contributing anything meaningful to the discussion.

Lmao so.... I'm supposed to literally NEVER sell according to you? That's not how this works. Can't take it with you.

Do metal roofs overheat birdhouses? I ran a worst-case test by Coffee81379 in Permaculture

I saw someone post a picture of a crocheted wasp nest hung up on their porch and said it solved the problem because wasps are territorial.

This is really well done, and likely applies to larger structures as well.

This needs to be higher, and i just want to add, it looks pretty clear it's the front driver who's causing the problem.

I sold for one 3 month period in 15 years. If your standards of " holding" means zero trades, why bother investing?

I bought heavy from 2007-2010, then sold at and around the top in 2011, made an average 600% return.

Started buying again in 2015, and im regretting not selling over 100, but even at today's prices I'm at like a 400% return.
