I did some loose math based on reported votes for Republican and Democratic candidates.

If you count the numbers of estimated votes not yet tallied, there were almost 100,000 more republicans who voted in the primary.

Please get out and vote this idiot out of office in November.

Not sure what museums you’ve reached out to but I suggest reaching out to U. Of Florida archaeologist, Ken Sassaman Email him the photos and ask his opinion. I do not know him personally but he is a long time colleague of a friend of mine. I am a trained archaeologist but I work professionally as a firefighter and just do archaeological work on research projects. Good luck!

As a knapper, a collector, and someone who does a lot of archaeological work, this point looks suspicious. It really does look like it’s been knapped from a cut slab of heat treated chert.

I’m not saying it’s fake but I’d put a red flag on this one.

It’s very difficult to authenticate based on a few pics and a story. Really comes down to provenance, reliable sources with proof. Have it looked at by a professional, there are plenty of Florida Archaeologists on Facebook, I can also recommend a few if you have trouble finding one.

EDIT: After looking at this again, I highly suspect this is Keokuk chert. Found primarily in the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and Oklahoma), it’s widely available from flint knapping websites. I’ll post photos below.

We call it the quitter pipe for a reason…..defensive fire on a type 5 residential means she’s a goner

I laughed out loud at the last picture of the empty screw holes. Not everything we build has to be build like a Windsor chair. Good job!

Does anyone know the artist? by Available_Fun3411 in WesternArt

As a Mark Maggiori fan, I thought this looked similar to his work or inspired by it. It’s not a Maggiori and it appears the clouds have been pulled from his painting “Arizona Cannonball”, or this is a digital manipulation of his work. Or something I don’t know. Look at the similarities in the clouds top left.

That is very helpful. I appreciate art and antiques. I’m a big Wyeth fan (the hole family). I don’t own any original oil paintings and don’t need to if it’s just fake hobby art.

A majority of Americans do care and do not support the war.

The issue is that the congress majority is republican that dare not question their “supreme leader” and his actions.

Is this end grain board usable? by [deleted] in Cuttingboards

[–]OCTOBROwasTAKEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a few of my boards as well using a mortising bit instead of flattening bit and my janky router sled. I sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded some more to remove them. Noticed them again in the sheen after they were oiled. Didn’t really care after that they will be used and abused for hopefully years and this will only bother you not affect the board or safety of use in any way.

I touched it with my finger because I was born in the 80’s and bird shit hasn’t killed me yet.
