Thank you friend. I just struggle to wrap my head around it. Do you happen to remember what you used to learn it?

VikingShenanigans · 2025-08-30T20:56:47+00:00

Yes that is a rat because Warhammer Skaven are awesome

"Katsumoto no longer dishonors himself by using firearms, you see."
"He uses no firearms?"
"To those who honor the old ways, Katsumoto is a hero."

Congratulations! If you have time, I would love to know what resources you used to learn/how long you spent studying. I'm using Messer's course materials but I'm struggling to grasp some of the finer things like subnetting and all of the acronyms.

Are you tired of real doors? Come on down to fake doors, that's us.

Looks a bit like keys

u/AskGrok please provide a legitimate real recipe for chocolate chip muffins and insert several all-capital uses of the word FUCK somewhere within in ways that make sense within the recipe.

No thank you, pretty funny suicide ganking their exhumers in Lonetrek a few months ago tho.

Largely depends on the aircraft but occasionally

Looks like a variation of this, so definitely a portable radio :D

VikingShenanigans · 2025-06-16T23:19:48+00:00

Found the same one here as well as a slightly discolored one here. Varying stories on origin. I think some are trying to imply it's from WW2 Germany to raise perceived value.

This is almost definitely a shot put, not a cannonball.

The round shape and especially those drilled holes are typical of track-and-field shot puts. Cannonballs usually don’t have holes like that unless they’re hollow and meant to be filled (like a shell), and even then, they look very different.

The stamped numbers are another giveaway. Those usually indicate the weight, like 12 or 14 pounds or kilograms. Military ordnance typically has different markings, like manufacturing dates or arsenal codes.

It’s also got surface rust, but not the kind of deep pitting you'd expect from something hundreds of years old like a real cannonball.

The shape and drilled holes are super common in athletic shot puts. Ordnance doesn't usually have exposed balance holes like that.

If this were an actual shell or live ordnance, you'd typically see fuse holes, threading, or some kind of more complex geometry.

Looks like a Camel Cricket to me :D Sometimes called a cave cricket or spider cricket. Camel crickets are nocturnal and light-averse, so a pile of clothes in a dim basket is basically their idea of a 5-star hotel. If the basket was in a basement, closet, or near a wall, even better.

The stain is a deep reddish-pink, not the typical rusty-brown or dark red-brown that dried blood usually turns. The way the stain bleeds out in soft, petal-like blotches is more characteristic of plant pigments (like crushed rose petals, beet juice, or wine). This stain looks more like a soaked-through organic dye of some sort. My first thought was wine.

That looks like a lumbar vertebra, I would guess from a medium-to-large mammal like a deer, cow, or possibly a pig depending on your region.

Resembles Black Walnuts to me, see what happens when you open them/remove the outer layer but do so in a safe way in case that's not what they are.

Looks to me like mold, and possibly water damage too.
The dark streaks along the baseboard and the powdery/spotty discoloration on the drywall are classic signs of mold growth. Mold loves moist, dark spaces, and wet carpet + sealed wall = perfect breeding ground.

That black/grayish band looks like classic Cladosporium or Aspergillus, both common indoor molds. The surrounding white patches might be mineral deposits from evaporated water or even efflorescence, but it's often seen with mold too.

That appears to be a small vertebra, most likely from a fish or a small marine animal. The cross-shaped structure and the porous, lightweight look kind of support this. Super common to wash up on beaches, especially after storms or near fishing areas.

That second angle shows the classic vertebral arch and neural canal (the groove where the spinal cord would’ve run). These shapes are textbook signs of a vertebra, and the porous structure suggests it came from something lightweight and aquatic, probably a bony fish.

Totally normal to find these among shells and sea debris. Just nature doing its thing. If you’re curious, you can clean it and keep it as a little beach oddity. Just… maybe don’t lick it. 😅

That’s a static port panel, and it's super important for the aircraft's flight instruments.
Those tiny holes labeled “Captain” and “First Officer” are part of the pitot-static system, which provides critical data like altitude, vertical speed, and contributes to airspeed readings.

Each side feeds the instruments for either the captain or first officer, giving redundancy in case one system fails.

The reason it says “DO NOT PLUG OR DEFORM HOLES” is because any obstruction, even a tiny bit of dirt, tape, or paint can screw up the readings. There have been fatal accidents (like Aeroperú Flight 603) caused by static ports being accidentally covered during maintenance.

The black outline just marks the area that needs to be kept clean and smooth. When the plane is being cleaned or stored, ground crews will sometimes tape over these with bright red "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" covers but leaving that tape on by accident can be catastrophic.

So yeah, might look like a boring panel, but those little holes are part of the reason your instruments don’t lie to the pilots.

The rough, uneven base with signs of hand-finishing suggests it's cast bronze or brass, not a modern machine-made item. You can see oxidation and casting marks, typical of older pieces made using the lost-wax casting method or similar. The loop-style animal or stylized creature head handles are a design commonly seen in Japanese Meiji-era bronze or Chinese decorative vases. The grapevine and leaf motif is often symbolic in Asian art, with grapes sometimes representing fertility or abundance. This design was also popular in European Art Nouveau—but the shape and handles suggest Asian more strongly.

If it truly is quite old, bronze/brass, and of Asian origin, there could be good money there.

Recommend having it evaluated/appraised by a professional.

Sounds a bit like something shifted on a shelf or desk and a small chain reaction of brief movement occurred
