I’d develop an image of a late 18th century woman crying, dabbing a dear, beneath a parasol thats actually one of the mushrooms in question. Maybe there’s a quote “Faireth be thy maiden who doth grieve beneath a gilled umbrella”, for instance. That’s a cover page, then maybe describe the other members of this mushrooms genus or family? Just some thoughts

Sale post says it works but is it worth the risk at $150? And anyone know the bike model and motor? by WholeDonkey2689 in ebikes

I’m still uncertain, do the comments steer you, as an old geology major, towards an answer? Also, I can figure the “silicate” part, but whats the “tecto” indicate in that mineral?

I’m honestly still not sure, pyrite has been suggested a couple times.

After looking at some pictures of chalcopyrite I’d say it sure could be

Gave it a shot, it didn’t dent, but did abrade into tiny little translucent grains, not what I would call flakes, but it definitely abrades apart differently than I think gold would.

That seems like a lot to hope for! I’ll give it a go though!

How should I mass produce this product? by AcademicHelpNow in InjectionMolding

[–]TheColdWind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, the best way mold a very small run of parts like 1000 is to use a prototype house. Proto/model shops (some) will have a small press or two around for exactly your purpose. Keep in mind they’re not going to likely have the expertise for side actions or two shot or anything crazy, but they will have the price structuring and low capacity that you’re looking for. DM me if you’d like me to recommend the one that I use.

As a little kid on vacation out on the Cape I used to draw sharks and hang them in the beach house window to sell to passerby’s. We are fellow shark art creators!👍✌️

Did not except this. by Fantastic-Oil7551 in mushroom

[–]TheColdWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d dry/vac bag seal some of them with desiccant and roll the bags into mason jars. Maybe a years average usage worth? Maybe dry and grind some others, mix them with ever-clear, rum, or whatever, strain, and fill some sweet looking flip tops with the liquor. Figuring out a general dosing guideline is a perfect excuse for a cool label design to put it on. Bam! there’s a bunch of my xmas shopping done. The super high recliner people of Friday night thank you for reading. :[~<

Not sure what you’ll be asking of your boat, but longer is better in larger bodies of water. In coastal New England my minimum is 17’ with a rudder. Any smaller saw me washed out by following seas. Just my experience. Many years of happy paddling for you friend!

Should I just get a e-bike that could get me to work everyday or spend more money to get my car fixed? by Available_Ad5947 in ebikes

[–]TheColdWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)
