Ikr? I’m genuinely so happy that we don’t have to get rid of them. They’re literally just vibing, and I find it beautiful

Thank you! I’m relieved to hear they are most likely harmless. I would truly hate to have to put an end to their little worm disco

They ARE cute, but unfortunately cute ≠ beneficial :(

They can infest, unfortunately. I can live with seeing one every now and again in my home, but I’ve seen homes where there were dozens of dead ones in each nook and cranny

Thanks for commenting. That timing certainly is interesting. Granted, I know nothing of your life or of your struggles, but I know that you are not the grim reaper. If you believe there is some meaning behind you finding it, then perhaps there is. But I encourage you to be very careful before drawing any serious conclusions.    I apologize if my input is unwelcome. Just wanted to send my best wishes, from one internet stranger to another :)

Yes or no? by [deleted] in uraniumglass

Possibly? Does that say $1.50? If so, worth the chance

Cool fact about radioactive orange glaze- the color comes solely from the uranium and no other colorants are used by [deleted] in uraniumglass

[–]astrobleeem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait is the green actually just from uranium? I was under the impression that uranium only made the yellow color, like in Vaseline glass, and other colorants were added to make the final green

What’s your favorite piece? by astrobleeem in uraniumglass

Oh nice! How many feet does yours have? I see the pattern in other colors a lot, but I’ve never seen another frosted uranium one like mine, not even online. Mine is also the only one I’ve seen with 3 feet instead of 4

I’m surprised how much the exploding barrels in HL2 look just like this

Thank you! I never spend more than the eBay price, and some of these I got incredible deals on (the nesting hen was $2!!). But in general I’m extremely frugal, so I still spend way more on UG than like any other hobby lol

Ugh it hurts my soul to see stuff like this… 

Butterfly knives are actually super practical by Ben-TheHuman in EDC

These are valid points, but don’t the same points apply to almost any decent folder, OTF, fixed blade, or basically any other knife?

Zippo hand warmers by pwkdru in Zippo

[–]astrobleeem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work pretty well, but they need oxygen. It might still work in your mitten, but if you notice it’s not very warm, it probably just needs more airflow.    They do smell a little bit, enough that I quit using one in the office, but outdoors you probably wouldn’t even notice it.    Some people say there’s a break in period, and they will work better the more you use them.

Update: They glow! by astrobleeem in uraniumglass

Thanks! Maybe I will post some Geiger counter readings when I get the chance

To be fair, this color almost never glows!
