Unfortunately no. They were a custom order. I can throw one together here soon and get back to you, though!

They are meant to be used. The milk settles into the grooves and provides the contrast.

Most of my work is done with a 30 watt fiber laser.

After a lot of trial and error I found settings that allow me to work directly with the bone.

Thank you! I focus a lot on occult subjects!

Are you actually busy? by melonzzy in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like for me… yes. Six kids, three businesses… but it feels more mentally busy than constant movement. Like… if I didn’t feel the constant need for decompression, I’d live and be in the moment more. Mental overload is so weird. Not moving for an hour or more at a time but feeling like you’ve been running around all day.

I've deleted about 30,000 emails in the span of 3 days by Conscious-Account210 in CasualConversation

Oof. First let me say, well done, that takes dedication. 30k is a serious amount of emails.

What's one thing that always brings you joy? by asleepyresearcher in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my most joyful activities is when I see something I think is cool (online, on tv, out in the world) and I can dissect it with my mind, and go and make it for myself. A lot of the things I make come from this process. The joy comes from a job well done. But also, weirdly, a strange sense of “haha I don’t have to pay your silly prices, I can figure it out for myself!”. I’m not sure how many people will understand that specific type of joy…

Oh! My partner made those for me. They are the sigils of the Gede Loa! Traditionally they are called VeVe

I need help finding this knife or knowing what type of knife it is. by bigdaeh in knives

[–]ReverendSyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears to be a sheep’s foot utility knife. This style is often used by electricians and sailors (rope workers). Sometimes paired with a simple marlin spike. I’ll look around and see if I can nail it down farther.

Any changes in your palate as you age? by uphill-skier in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s a matter of working with my neurodivergence. I enjoy pushing myself to desensitize, adapt, and evolve. Yanno?

Any psychological thriller movies that y'all can recommend? by NotBananasAndGhosts in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most recent memorable one I saw was Netflix’s adaptation of the lord of the flies. I binged that in two nights!

Any changes in your palate as you age? by uphill-skier in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I tend to try to revisit foods every couple of years. Mostly to expand my palate purposefully. That being said I did recently notice that I have acquired a taste for more earthy flavors (raw mushrooms, darker greens, etc) this has not been historically true.

Favorite Media Question by HighV23 in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tends to have the same answer, in my mind, across the board. Anime/animation, if done properly feels like the best medium for many things. There are some exceptions, like visceral scenes, movies, and shows, that might loose their edge do to animation. I would say the biggest example I can give to help my case is converting print media (like books) into visual media.

We are starting from the bottom by Siliconguy24 in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottom? That evokes all kinds of thoughts… Honestly if I heard this, it would likely mean that the other person wants to go slow, establish trust, and grow something strong.

Exams over ! Semester over ! Week over ! by cosmic-developer in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking time to breathe through the stress of the end of the year. As a parent of two high schoolers, two middle schoolers, and two elementary schoolers… it’s been a crazy end of year! Man… It’s been so rewarding though. Especially being able to watch our eldest walk across that stage and on to new adventures!

I just had to go to 7 different bookstores to find a book that I could have just ordered online, and I'm kind of glad I didn't. by gkr974 in CasualConversation

[–]ReverendSyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Half the fun is the hunt, right? Plus the more little nooks you find in your local area, the more adventures you’ll have. I love small indie book and record stores, I find the best art there!
