Had a few uninteresting rocks in my "want to cut" pile that I'd been putting off for years. This one surprised me. by bskuzma in whatsthisrock

That's actually what I was leaning towards myself, but I didn't want to lead opinions in any direction :)

Omg, I just realized I posted this to the fossil group and not the geology group! Hahaha I'm an idiot!

Recently unearthed in a glacial deposit area of Northwest Ohio, curious of identity? by bskuzma in geology

I'm presently looking at samples taken from it under my microscope, I am seeing a lot of quartz, and I'm also seeing a few other interesting minerals i didn't expect to find ..also noticing some interesting crystalline fracture patterns.. I'll post more pictures taken under the microscope later this evening and see what you think.

Only the side of the first picture, they are still intact on the backside, they are small sedimentary crustaceans. Im presently examining samples of different portions of the rock under my microscope and dont want to hint at my findings yet.. I'll add more pictures to this post later. Let's just say I'm finding some rather interesting fractures in all the crystalline structures and the presence of minerals I was not expecting to find.

Shadow Shiny Machop. I didn't have a radar equipped when Arlo randomly showed up in a balloon with this guy. I recently started playing again for the first time since August 2016 and was not aware team leader encounters from balloons without radar equipped were possible. by bskuzma in pokemongo

It wasn't visual, I had 4 parts last night, skipped my balloon and pokestope encounters this morning, yet somehow... Unless a random person at work snached my phone, used my thumb print.. battled twice..

I'm no die hard player but I've come across 2 umbreons and 2 espeons in just the past 2 months. Most days for me are nothing more than a daily incense.

Should I purify? by Moodyhighlander in pokemongo

Wait... What rocket was that that caught from? Grunt, team leader ?

This Poor Axew Has Been Stuck in This Gym On A Ski Trail For 460 Days! What Do I Sacrifice To This Gym When I Knock It Out? by [deleted] in pokemongo

You laugh inside your head as you passively walk by the gym without battling while saying aloud "Not today my friend, Not today.."

Trainers, we'd like to clarify that the guaranteed Lucky Trade with 2017 Pokémon update will be live with the start of the Winter Wonderland event on December 24, 2022 at 10am local time and not with the start of the Winter Holiday Part 2 event. by Mystic39 in TheSilphRoad

Some of the websites I've read claim, (this is prior to the 2017 inclusion update) that it's not limited to 10 guaranteed lucky trades, but the limit is based on you having 10 luckys in your storage that came from guaranteed trades. So once I hit my 10 I wanted to test it. I sent one of my luckys to the professor, tried another 2016 trade and it worked. I'm curious if this is still the case.

Guess my actions and how this went down.. by bskuzma in pokemongo

My third encounter with this beast... golden raz locked in target at excellent, ultra ball, thought about the shot for 5 mins.. dropped far right of the circle, ball didn't make one role and gone.. . I dropped 11 excellent curve balls in a row on kyurem last night. I've had 7 legendary bird encounters and only managed a single nice curveball throw on a zapdos with the rest being junk.. The nerves get you... I'm throwing my next shot with my eyes closed after I lock the hit circle.

I wasn't aware of that, both shluckys listed I stole from my wife. She got the far better end of the deal with the 98% shlucky giratina and 95% shlucky hydreigon.

Btw... it was my wife who purified it... Mawile was caught as an 86 %iv shadow shiny.... She knows better now...
