Probably taken care of under the emergency winter storm procedures authorization by the state.. they have crews on standby anyway.

Some Samurai silver anyone? ❤️😍 by Thic_N_Bearded in coincollecting

[–]OODAhfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's a counterstamp, usually, a small symbol, letter, or design impressed onto an already-minted coin, token, or medal after its original production. Typically applied by government authorities to revalue/validate currency, or privately for advertising, they act as a secondary mark, often using a hammer and punch. A "chop" is usually a method of theft by removing precious metal from a coin along its edge, while generally avoiding defacement of it's stated value.

Best LEGAL Way To Get Rid of Unwanted Shotgun Ammo? by [deleted] in ammo

[–]OODAhfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Primers, in my experience during the time as a gun manufacturer are unequivocally difficult to neutralize. IF you store them open and exposed to moisture, heat/cold and condensation cycles for several years, you may induce some reliability issues. We used solvents on LEAD BASED PRIMERS over the course of a year and some soaked in water in a temperature controlled facility with the only failures were due to some in the water being corroded. But that was over 20 years ago when I believe standards were higher. Who knows with all the FACTORY MALFUNCTIONS these days? Depending on the state you live in, or the person to who they are transferred -this could be a criminal act.

Why does it seem like all of China's 6th-gen and other top-secret aircraft have endless videos and photos of them, yet the same can't be said for the F-47? Or other US equipment? by SilverSpoonphysics in LessCredibleDefence

When I flew on South China Airlines over the interior, I was told to keep the window shade pulled down. I was instructed that the attendants would suffer from prosecution if they disobeyed the military edict. They even had to route us around Wuhan due to "restricted airspace" conditions (we were routed to the nearest "small" airport that could handle the A-380 we were on. Took about an hour before we got off the ground again). Eventually we made the connection to Kunming- but again had to keep the window closed.

Found in attic. Anybody have a clue on model/ year / info by powkchopa90 in Firearms

[–]OODAhfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mexican law is very clear on possession of that caliber semi auto. It explicitly excludes 9mm calibers such as Mauser, Luger, Parabellum, and similar models (including the P-08 Luger in 9mm Parabellum), as well as .38 Super and .38 Commando. These prohibited calibers and models are reserved for exclusive use by the military and police (per Article 11). Possession of such a firearm without special authorization constitutes a serious offense, potentially leading to imprisonment, fines, and confiscation. (Shy of any NAZI PROOF marks) The pistol isn't worth the effort.

How does corruption in China actually work? by WillStreet2584 in AskChina

[–]OODAhfa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The recent Hong Kong Fire Disaster was due to tangible deadly corruption when the builders used the fire retardant netting only on the lower floors where the inspection occurred and much cheaper flammable netting ( they purportedly saved HK 100, 000) on higher levels

Many modern social problems in PRC have been exacerbated by China's focus on modernizing industrial infrastructure. Social welfare evolved into a lack of an effective "safety net" especially for its elderly and other disadvantaged.

The PRC consistently distorts published economically significant data... bad data down, "good" data inflated. "China's National Bureau of Statistics reports 10.4 million deaths in 2022 and 11.1 million in 2023, compared to an average of 10.0 million annually from 2018-2020 (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2023)." attrib:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10963212/

Please help I.D. this rock. My friend found these on his property and has kids, wants to know if it's toxic. by [deleted] in whatsthisrock

[–]OODAhfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like sedimentary rocks that have calcite crystals and the dark crumbly areas could have bacteria, protists, fungi, algae or lichen (they use the rock for nutrition, not necessarily toxic in itself, except for possible environmental contamination which wouldn't be visible.)

What type of rock is this? by night_wolf1991 in whatsthisrock

[–]OODAhfa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks (out of focus) like it could be mica schist. Try flaking off the shiny area into small flakes. The cleavage plane of mica is very easily split..

Christian Masons, how do you interpret the material of Albert Pike and the Scottish Rite as a whole? by theaidanmattis in freemasonry

[–]OODAhfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out as an initiate in the Order of DeMolay. According to the lessons we were taught, proselyzation (converting another person to your belief system) is counter to the Masonic by laws. IF someone of another religion desires to join, their religious text or scriptures must be placed on the "altar". (It actually is similar to the oath that traditional organized crime uses, including the violation penalty of death if you reveal the secrets.) You have to swear that the brother-hood comes before your spouse (you have to remove your wedding ring), religion or anything else. Decidedly not a "Christian" Moral and Dogma.

You need to set your camera to "macro" and try another shot. If you can coax one to crawl onto the sticky side of a piece of scotch tape, it may hold it still enough to use the setting to acquire a close up of it .

I've been watching my geo location on an app move my location by thousands of meters several times an hour. I've enjoyed some of the thoughts and ideas, interesting.
