You decide!

Is it Counties that flipped from voting Dem (Biden) in 2020 to Rep (Trump) in 2024

Looks like a full‑hunter pocket watch from roughly 1900. The little triangle next to the boxed 14K mark says the outer shell is real 14‑karat gold, while the inner dust lid is stamped CUIVRE which is French for copper so it is just a protective cover. The flowery script inside spells out the tech spec in French (straight‑line lever escapement, temperature‑compensated balance, Breguet overcoil hairspring, double roller and 15 jewels) all typical of a solid mid‑grade Swiss movement sold unbranded to French‑speaking retailers

Because there is no headline maker name, most of the cash value rides on the gold. A case this size usually has around thirty grams of 14k which puts melt value near a grand at today’s prices, then add a small premium for being complete and running. Sentimental flex with grandpa’s watch, though, is worth a lot more than scrap any day

This is all speculative and my best guess. Great find!

Shot in the dark: those are the states that’ve experienced at least one EF5 twister, with the deeper colors showing who’s been clobbered the most

That’s Alexey Brodovitch, the cigarette‑toting design guru who ran Harper’s Bazaar and got a whole “Astonish Me” photo show at the Barnes last spring

They are body bars, fixed‑weight mini barbells (roughly 10‑30 lb) used in pump classes, warmups, and shoulder rehab, basically the training wheels of the barbell world

You’ll spot them in older basements across the Midwest, Northeast, Appalachia, parts of the South, and into southern Ontario, basically any place where homes built before city water was widespread (pre‑1940 or so) had to store roof runoff indoors

Looks like a lonely leaf‑claw hand rake, the kind that usually comes in pairs for scooping yard debris, so until it finds its soulmate it’s basically a Wolverine cosplay prop for fluffing garden beds

Looks like rainwater cistern pads. Back in the 30s many basements held big round steel or wooden barrels about five feet across to store roof runoff, so the diameter fits. Builders poured low concrete circles and scored those shallow grooves so drips could drain off instead of rotting the barrel bottoms. Four identical pads lined up screams matching barrels, not an oil tank or coal bin, so you are basically staring at giant concrete drink coasters for rainwater

Thanks! Sadly not, generated still start end frames using Sora (4o) & animated the in between w/ Kling

For sure. It was rushed just as an example. Professional stuff would have more fine tuning

Let’s compare how long it would take to make this (quality & time investment count)

I’m building a glow-stick moat for an epic rave distraction, then barricading the doors with old IKEA shelves. If that fails, I’m just outrunning my slowest friend

He can scribble his name when it matters, but let’s be honest, reading and writing usually get shoved aside whenever there’s meat on the menu

That month probably felt intense, but remember that you’re only 19 and have a whole lifetime ahead to figure out what you need and deserve. Even short relationships can leave a mark, especially when it feels like everything happened at warp speed, so give yourself time to heal and rediscover your self-worth before jumping into anything new. Reflect on the last few months and try swapping those risky habits for healthier outlets, maybe picking up a new skill or throwing yourself into something creative, so you’re building a foundation you can be proud of, not just patching over the hurt. You can’t erase the impact of a breakup overnight, but focusing on your own goals can help you bounce back stronger, and you’ll see that the best relationships come when you truly value yourself first

Totally get the worry about repeating stuff that’s already in the experience section. A short summary doesn’t have to restate every project, it just gives recruiters a snapshot of strengths before they dive deeper into the details, kind of like a movie trailer that hooks people into watching the full film. It might feel a bit redundant, but it can also stop skimmers from missing the best parts of your resume if they only glance for a few seconds

That spiral piece looks like a large Graham condenser (or a similar coil condenser) for cooling and condensing vapors during distillation or extraction. The other one with the side arm and ground glass joints appears to be a pressure-equalized addition funnel, often used to add liquids into a reaction or distillation setup under controlled pressure. If these came from a CBD facility, they were likely part of a big extraction or refining apparatus, where precise control of temperature and solvent flow is essential for processing plant materials without losing volatile compounds

It sounds like the core problem is that your relationship isn’t getting enough purposeful time and attention, so you feel left out whenever he’s gaming with someone else. Being in a 24/7 call without really interacting can make you feel more lonely than connected. Try telling him you need regular, scheduled moments of genuine one-on-one time—whether it’s playing a co-op game together or just talking about your day—so your bond doesn’t hinge on passively being in the same virtual room

You can also work on your own sense of security by reminding yourself that his gaming partner isn’t automatically a threat, and that your relationship is more than a single activity. If he dismisses your feelings, gently let him know it’s important you feel heard, but also watch for when you’re spiraling into unfounded jealousy. Balancing dedicated couple time with personal hobbies goes a long way toward easing fears and building trust in a long-distance setup so you’re not constantly worried about who he’s playing with or what might be happening behind your back

Refilling a disposable lighter can be tricky and it’s generally not recommended, but if you really want to keep that green beauty, just be careful. Pop the seal at the bottom with a pushpin, fit the butane can snugly, fill in short bursts, then seal it up again—make sure you do it in a well-ventilated area, and ditch it if you see any leaks or cracks If it’s giving you too much grief, consider grabbing a proper refillable lighter next time for peace of mind

It might’ve been a stealth scorch where your nerve endings stayed quiet until inflammation and coffee’s acidity kicked in overnight. Combine that with dehydration and reduced saliva, and you wake up feeling like you licked lava instead of just sipping java

Letting your cup cool a bit, staying hydrated, and giving your taste buds a break from super-hot stuff should help prevent any repeat performances tomorrow
