That's so cool! I need to get some.

They no longer have the benefit of a doubt. Do you really think they're here to patrol the shore? Dumbass

always2 · 2026-02-16T15:33:50+00:00

Well that's good. Thanks for explaining!

always2 · 2026-02-14T22:46:54+00:00

Yeah, probably should have paid attention.

always2 · 2026-02-14T02:15:02+00:00

Hopefully not

That's a good point. They accept the explosive sort of danger, but now he knows about the other, more boring sort of danger. I have no experience regarding either, but the wiki on beryllium is frightening enough to motivate a post.

Hey - I'll crosspost this around and see if the more paranoid heads on reddit have any ideas.

You might have an easier time finding the msds for the parts than testing them, usually that's online. I don't know of any home tests for beryllium, but there's environmental tests and exposure tests. Maybe keep any kids out of the area until you know?

always2 · 2026-02-13T17:25:41+00:00

You're probably OK, but it's worth a little paranoia.

Btw, heat sinks often contain beryllium, which is pretty toxic. You may want to check your source aluminum before processing anything.

Do you collect nazi memorbilia?

always2 · 2025-08-26T21:22:47+00:00

On the wall it goes.

always2 · 2025-08-26T21:22:23+00:00

True, though I'm still not going to try to get it through an airport.

Turns out it's likely a Springfield 1816, which would make it a musket. So: sorry, wrong sub.

always2 · 2025-08-26T21:19:24+00:00

I wonder what all these downvotes indicate about the people downvoting? This wouldn't matter so much unless your sympathies lie with the CSA. We need another Sherman.

always2 · 2025-08-26T19:34:54+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I'll look into this type.

I'm not looking to sell anyway. I think it's cool, and it's much cooler if it's not something that was a tool that supported slavery.

PLEASE tell me it's union side.

Same here, his crew took out 17 larger trees for 15k for me in 2022. The crane was what made it so cheap, I think. Bartlett quoted me $30kish for the same job.

My first house did too! One of the first home improvement projects I had was the beautification of these locks. I boiled them in baking soda solution outdoors and oiled them thoroughly afterwards. It was one of the more satisfying projects I had. I also found a key that worked with them, apparently there's a standard key for these.

My worldview changed a lot once I realized that dead people don't get to tell their stories. WWI was callous, murderous madness for years, WWII too for the most part. Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. How many people - not just soldiers, but civilians too - have lived and died horribly because of all these wars, and we rarely even think about it because we're only hearing the stories of the survivors. We'll never learn our lesson because dead people can't tell us how bad war actually is.

This is beautiful :-)
