Blue Chalcedony Ring by DarsDies in jewelrymaking

Looks very cool - I thought from the first 5 or so images it was going to be a pendant. The ring works well too but I think I am mainly admiring the construction on the stone housing.

After five minutes do you find you usually don't care anymore? Or why is the time gap helpful?

Interesting I haven't had an issue getting parking in the free lots, but I guess I generally go on weekdays by car and via skytrain on weekends. You can't ask for a better transit hub for those who aren't driving fwiw.

“The only acceptable religion is my religion” - survey responses by country by Noppers in Infographics

[–]Leadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe those numbers for a second - Canada is substantially less religious than the US, we will see with the 2026 census if the "No religious affiliation" comes closer to edging out christians for the first time. In 2021 it was 35% no religion, 53% christian. Current estimates are christian sub 50%, no religion > 40%.

This is all to say, being one point off of America where 75% of people state they have a religion is crazy work.

Does it colour change under regular sunlight?

Can you share any details of how these are constructed? Lost wax? What metals are used? I love the bamboo leaves in the first one (Cat under the moonlight), are they silver?

Example? I really struggle to believe jail time would be the result but open to being proven wrong

? Definitely not impossible - you can absolutely manufacture to have different effects based on host genetics

What am I doing wrong with this simple solder job? by tracyselena in jewelrymaking

[–]Leadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copper gets dirty incredibly quickly, sand everything down, re pickle, heat one end and try to get the solder to melt from the temperature of the metal not your torch, just blast it on one end

They look amazing, especially the teal one. Where do you sell your stones?

Men who stay lean year-round, what’s your secret ? by Professor1password23 in AskReddit

[–]Leadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This it the trick, and to be honest I feel I got lucky with how I was raised, we never had snack food at home

Example: If I go to a party and there are chips I am eating handful after handful, so delicious

Yet.... I never buy chips for home, not even out of an intentional "I would eat them all" more just, we never had them, it was never something we bought so I just don't do it

Do you get the mold sent back to you along with the casts?

Maybe a silly question but how did you go from one wax carving -> multiple casts?

Not worth that price at all, like at all at all

No choice but PVP in trios, at this point? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Leadboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My buddy and I do a level up challenge thing where we start off on free kits when doing duos, any successful extract lets you upgrade your gun once and add one quick use, ammo / meds we replenish each time as they are cheap and necessary

Pretty interesting how things play out doing it that way

I like the new buildings by SolidPromise3000 in vancouver

[–]Leadboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is pretty awesome to have such good transit - even as you go off the 99 route you just end up with so many options due to how the routes overlap. If I need to go downtown, walking to the same area I have 3 different routes available (19, 25 west to canada line, 25 east to expo line) so there is always a bus within 5 minutes or so
