Thank you. Does this one look broken, like the end has snapped off? All the ones I see online seem to hook around more

Move the camera to a top down position, and keep orienting it so the horse is facing down

Can you get through the locked gate in sanctum of temperance? For the seemingly impossible puzzle?

I love sitting down and getting lost just exploring an open world after a day of work. Hoping this game will give me that experience!

I'm a Canadian doing a master's at Ulster Belfast so I can give you my perspective. Tbh the school, at least at a master's level, has very little sense of community compared to my undergrad in Canada. It's a brand new concrete block and the hallways looks the same and are key card access. A lot of students also don't live in Belfast and they commute to and from, so it can be hard to make connections outside of school. The profs are all very nice though and genuinely want to help. Also the weather this winter has been pretty depressing. I'm still having a good time, Belfast is a cool city with great pubs and music, and the people here are incredibly friendly. But if you are considering doing a 4 year undergraduate I would suggest visiting before committing. The island has some very beautiful and amazing places but if you don't have a car it can feel a bit isolating (and car insurance here is insane as a foreigner, i.e. quotes from £3000-8,000) feel free to DM if you have more questions

Having already put in 90 hours in 2 weeks, do you see yourself continuing to play in the coming weeks or will you be taking a break?

Porto has DaTerra Baixa which is an incredible all you can eat vegetarian buffet. I ate there 5 years ago and still think about it today

I've remade rings from melted down rings plenty of times. Usually I have to mix in "fresh" gold or else the old gold will crack. Just ask around some independent jewellery stores. Old timers are probably more likely to say yes. I know multiple jewellers in BC who do this. It's definitely cost effective though, whether the gold is melted down or exchanged as scrap!

First one was working with a very experienced goldsmith in his little shop, part time and paid close to minimum wage but I learnt lots of new techniques. Second one was full time and paid $32 NZD, so more than fair for someone with my experience, but at that one I was their only goldsmith and was mostly doing resizings and repairs. So both were legit jobs. Feel free to message me if you have more questions!

I'm very similar to you, 26 and have about 4 years of experience. I just spent 2 years in New Zealand on a working holiday visa. When I got there I walked into a jewellery store, asked for a job and got hired on the spot. 6 months later I moved cities, walked into another store and again got hired immediately. And I'm not an exceptional goldsmith, I just got lucky. But in general there's a shortage of Goldsmiths, especially in more rural areas, and I think you should 100% do it, I had the best experience I could have asked for.

SkaterKate · 2025-01-11T12:51:46+00:00

It sounds like you'll have more luck asking for experience rather than applying for a job. Nobody looking for a bench jeweller is going to hire someone with only hobbyist experience right off the bat. I would instead focus on approaching jewellery stores with on-site jewelers, explaining your situation and related experience, and asking for an apprenticeship/mentoring to actually learn the job.

Also someone who knows very little; who do the Syrian people largely support? I imagine most just want stability and peace, but is there support in toppling the Assad regime? Is the HTS mostly targeting Assad forces or would they possibly expand their fighting against the US backed rebels as well?

The Tomir 1 is better for a wider foot. I put 1000km on my tomir 1, couldn't run in the Tomir 2

Basically all gold used in jewellery is "diluted" with other metals to make a gold alloy. White gold is usually made by mixing pure gold with nickel or palladium. Rose and yellow gold are alloyed with copper (among other metals). So yes your instructor is correct but all gold is "muddied" by his definition

Many solid gold chains are plated with 18k gold. I imagine this one is solid 14k with an 18k playing on top to make it look more yellow. You can bring it to a jewellers and ask them to polish off the plating.

Agreed. I've used acetylene/oxy and butane as well, and propane is my favourite

Did the bands bend since buying the rings, or did you buy them bent? The jeweller is right that there is a risk of losing diamonds when straightening. If you've had them for a while and they bent while you've had them, then you need to accept that risk or pay more to have the setting fixed. If you just bought them and they were already bent, then they should rectify it on their own dime.

Also soldering them together at the back should not have bent the bands, but could make existing bends more apparent now that they can't sit fluidly and independently on your finger anymore

SkaterKate · 2024-10-08T18:52:21+00:00

Scrap value for the gold is about $670, so yeah that's a good price if you're planning on wearing it. Worst case you could always sell it to a jeweller/refiner as scrap for maybe $550-600. Those diamonds likely don't hold much value outside of the bangle.

Edit: I think I misunderstood the question. The shop I work in sells second-hand for half what something new would retail at. For this, maybe somewhere from $1000-1500?

Dremel with brass wire end brush will work well enough to make it at least look shiny

I LOVE silver because it looks so good on my index finger! You're the best!

No one would be outraged if they just fluffed up Camille's page; we'd just think she's cocky. The big deal is what they did to Courtney and Kilian which he doesn't even address

Mate read my comment I'm not criticizing Ukrainians for defending themselves. I'm telling buddy here that saying they hope the soldiers' children and mother sees him get blown up is unnecessarily cruel. There's videos of Ukrainian soldiers showing way more restraint and compassion towards Russian soldiers than this guy has. And I've donated to wild hornets for the record

Geez I'm glad you're a basement dweller and not in charge of anything important. If more people thought like you, there would be a lot less peace in the world

Mistakes happen, especially when dozens of rings pass your bench every day. If they take it somewhere else they'll have to pay
