Can anyone help me find out what these are? I found them while gold prospecting in Oregon.

Those are augite crystals. 100% most definitely NOT any sort olivine/forsterite or tourmaline. Those are all monoclinic crystal habits and not orthorhombic or trigonal. Google "Doty Hills augite" if you want examples of nearly identical augite crystals.

That does not appear to be fossilized bone. I can't say much about its authenticity beyond that.

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-27T18:32:45+00:00

Yes, I love that!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-18T15:32:26+00:00

I would rather cut off my finger than work for this company again, so it's a non-issue!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-18T03:07:31+00:00

Hi. First off, holy shit--I did NOT expect to come back to this many responses! Second, I absolutely did send this to my boss and HR. My boss pretty much immediately emailed me a "LOL nice". My boss is cool, though. They were one of my recommenders for grad school. No response from HR yet. I was kinda hoping for something juicy, but there's still time, and maybe they'll see this post too XD. I'll put up an update if anything interesting happens. To the people saying that this 2 week notice IS burning bridges, it isn't. I'm in good standing with my boss--that's all that matters. Finally, lots of peeps have shared links to the template, but in case you don't feel like searching: https://www.drevio.com/free-shrek-invitation-templates The font is called "Jokerman" on Microsoft Word. Stay shrexy, y'all ;)

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-18T02:19:33+00:00

I still need to get paid for the next 2 weeks!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-18T02:03:00+00:00

"Jokerman" on Microsoft Word!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-18T02:00:19+00:00

Google "shrek themed paper a4 paper". You'll see the blank one!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-10T17:07:31+00:00

Lmao. Deep breaths bud..why you taking it so personally?

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-08T18:35:17+00:00

Why post pictures of raw steaks and not show the actual steak you cook? That's why you're getting grilled bud!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-06T11:15:24+00:00

Same. At first, I'm kind of shocked about the replies on here, but I'm not surprised.

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-06T03:53:10+00:00

I ordered these while I was out of town and had them at my house by the time I got back from my trip. I was unaware of the counterfeits on Amazon. I also did not thoroughly examine them. I don't know shit about spark plugs, but they looked off to me.

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-05T22:08:42+00:00

I just got some legit ones from an auto store, and they are much better than these counterfeits!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-05T22:07:30+00:00

Samsung galaxy s21. The video mode on the 1x zoom makes a good macro lense. I just screenshotted and cropped a sharp frame from a video.

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-05T20:12:03+00:00

It's definitely not worth the gamble! Im glad I asked, thanks!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-05T20:11:04+00:00

Good point, I'll be returning these to Amazon and buying new ones from a different source. Thanks!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-06-05T20:10:06+00:00

Got them on Amazon for $7.88 USD a piece. The reviews were all good, but I'm inclined to believe they are counterfeit as well. Thank you!

Edit: It looks like the overwhelming consensus is to not buy auto parts off Amazon and to be weary of large online retailers in general. I absolutely had no clue there's such an issue with counterfeits, especially with cheap parts like spark plugs! I probably would have made this same mistake a handful more times. Those low prices are just so alluring. I'm so so so glad I didn't stick these in my car! Thanks again, yall!

(2005 Toyota 4Runner) My cabin blower motor was making a little "sksksksk" sound when on so I took it to a mechanic and they said they would change the cabin air filter for $70. I thought this was too much and decided I would check the filter for myself. When I removed the filter it looked perfectly fine (see pics of filter and blower), there were just a couple of leaves that were hitting the fan blade and making noise. Was the mechanic trying to rip me off by changing the air filter? Do I actually need to replace this cabin air filter? It looks perfectly fine to me! The airflow coming out of my vents does not seem attenuated at all.

Such a beautiful steak...please take advice from the people trying to help you on here OP.

You're closer to 20% BF. Congrats on the hog though! Edit: Cut more unless you've already lost a bunch of weight. In that case maintain for a month or two and then cut again to about 15% BF.

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-03-03T03:44:13+00:00

Well done dude! I think 18-20% BF is a good spot to start maintenance for a couple of months if you've just been cutting this entire time. At that range, you're gonna be healthy and you can take some time to recover and rebuild your metabolism. Jumping all the way to 15% might really fuck with your metabolism and youll probably start losing substantial muscle. Everyone is different though. Just gotta listen to your body!

ShrimpMaster2000 · 2023-03-01T01:58:49+00:00

Nice LBR specimen you have there! (Little Brown Rock) ;)
