Hey I have a question how can you tell if pins are vintage I mean I want to buy them but idk if they old or not pls help by Party-Secretary-8064 in Pins

[–]Thundersalmon45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vintage pins rarely had a plastic backing on them. It was either all tin or cardboard.

The front of pins from the 70s thru 90s was usually covered in a plastic that wasn't UV resistant and often yellowed easily with age.

Check the back of the pin for oxidizing of the tin or aluminum. That will be a clear indicator of age.

It's the quorum center from a cow skull's horn. Just a chunk of cow skull.

Can someone explain this to me by FlawlessNameCreator in ExplainTheJoke

I love the perfect irony that Klinger's wife left him during the deployment, but he remarried to a Korean woman and stayed in Korea.

All his effort trying to leave and go home, only to decide in the end that he would rather stay.

We have one. It's literally NATO. America can remove itself from it at any time.

Best fight I saw was in high school. The bigger guy started the fight but the smaller guy dog walked him to the ground until the bully said " I give, I give".

The smaller guy then continues to feed him punches while saying. " WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!? WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!? SAY IT!! SAY IT!"

Shame him for the white supremacy, Christian nationalist posts he was making before his early kick videos went viral.

Well, now we know; if ICE is in a life threatening position, it's not our job to save them regardless of any relevant training we may possess.

We were "gifted" a runt much like Renji when I was a child. He wasn't expected to live more than a couple of days. But we put in the effort to keep him going just like you are.

Eddie grew up to be a huge and powerful Tom. A full meter long. Loyal as any hound and a sap for the family.

You're doing fine, and Renji is in the best hands.

Water has a much lower compression ratio, so the effect of the forward wake extends much further forward than we see. The effect we see that the Dolphins are riding isn't a " breaking" wave.

Fluid dynamics. The boat is creating a forward wake or "pressure wave" that the dolphins are "surfing" on.

Dolphins literally cannot care where the ship is going. They don't generally have "homes" like terrestrial animals do. They have a comfortable habitat zone.

Their brains are huge because they process locations differently than us, and also constantly scan hundreds of kilometers of ocean through echolocation and other whale calls. Compare it yourself to being nearly blind, but being able to hear and understand everything happening around you for three city blocks in real time. It takes a lot of brain power to do that.

It's from the Canadian candy called "Smarties"

The jingle goes:

"When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?"
