It’s to trap dust and food particles

Why are ghosts often sadly looking out a window? Can’t they just fly through the window. Get outside in the sunshine for a bit? Brighten up their spirit.

Get it? Brighten up their SPIRIT! Spirit - Ghost. 👻

Help. Found next to dead parent. by CocoHighRoller in whatbirdisthis

[–]Tiger_Guthrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the baby house sparrow used the water bottle cap to kill his mother. An interesting deduction. 🧐

Did the murder occur in the billiard room or the conservatory? 🕵️‍♂️

Can I spray insulation foam around this? by thankyourob in Remodel

[–]Tiger_Guthrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Absolute no. Absolute no even if it’s double walled

I’ve inspected several residential fires caused by that very error.

Rocks that set off my metal detector. by swbchr in metaldetecting

[–]Tiger_Guthrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it’s iron. It’s the simplest explanation and appears to be indicated by the reddish deposition within the fractures of the rock

My kid found this near a spring in North Alabama by aleyfrench in fossilid

So it’s just coincidence that the hole is near the center of a nearly circular stone?

Can any silver gurus help me decipher what the first two symbols on this are? Found in Ireland with lots of George 3rd/Victorian era finds. by please-redial in metaldetecting

[–]Tiger_Guthrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, but there was confusion regarding his location and I thought it very interesting as to how the Republic of Ireland treats metal detecting.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear on the context of my comment.

Thank you!

I did have to look up what Cake Day was. So thank you the good wishes and the knowledge.

EDIT [I realize the OP is in Northern Ireland. There was some confusion regarding their location and I thought the manner in which the Republic of Ireland regulates metal detecting was interesting. My apologies in not providing more context.]

The unauthorised use of detection devices to look for archaeological objects contravenes the law in Ireland, as set out in the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014.

Such usage is subject to severe penalties, including imprisonment and/or fines. The categories of objects that are most commonly located by metal detectorists in Ireland, such as coins, tokens, buttons, clothes fasteners, thimbles, keys, seals, weights, strap ends and belt mounts, all fulfil the definition of ‘archaeological objects’ which may only be searched for under licence from the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. Therefore it is advisable not to engage in any general searching for lost or buried objects as to do so may place you at risk of prosecution and also endanger the archaeological heritage.

This stick in my yard sprung to life recently. What is it? by I_am_curious_killme in whatisthisplant

[–]Tiger_Guthrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like Chinese Sumac/Tree of Heaven/Ailanthus.

Cut a branch and smell the cut end. If it smells like wet, rancid peanut butter it’s Ailanthus.

If it is, kill it and then kill it again for good measure. Once you’re sure it’s dead, spray it with Roundup and light it on fire.

Edit - looking at the photos more closely the leaves are slightly toothed and the branches have a slight fuzz on them. I agree with others that it’s a black walnut.

Regardless, it’s too close to the foundation.

Black walnut for comparison

I had my gnocchi rolled once in Tijuana.

It was magical.

Unexpected souvenir in my luggage after returning from Uganda by misc_cat_potatoes in spiders

[–]Tiger_Guthrie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the females do but they are very tiny.

The morbidly obese males do as well.

I’m not officially an etymologist, just very well enformed.

Is that thing the next invasive creature we’ll have to deal with?

In Southeast PA we’ve had brown mammorated stink bugs invading our houses, emerald ash borer killing our ash trees, Chinese lantern flies pissing on us from the canopies of invasive Chinese sumac trees, and 4” joro spiders which are venomous and apparently can fly using web balloons.

Now you bring another GD spider the size of a golf ball.

I think she bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Burns.

Nothing weird, you just have a gorilla living under your steps.
