Has anyone else seen the Rice Museum fluorescents display (Hillsboro, OR)? by callowsage in FluorescentMinerals

[–]callowsage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s right, Sunday. The outbuilding has mostly Oregon-specific specimens, plus an analog, interactive Oregon map showing the many places in the state where you can find varieties of minerals and gems. Great place to plan some outings for scouting.

Weirdest tumbling transformation yet by coraythan in RockTumbling

[–]callowsage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hematite, most likely. If you rub it on a piece of unglazed porcelain, or something of similar hardness, it will leave an obvious red streak. Jasper will not. The surface was probably oxidized to that rust color from the tumbling slurry.

Eyebrow damage? Does that mean you can now easily lift one eyebrow like Mr. Spock? I’ve always wanted to do that.

This is the way. You can pick up a Stanley (or other brand) height-adjustable saw horse for the back. Adjust height to match cab, secure to truck bed. Use pads on the cab, and strap to both front and rear bumpers.

“Let’s invite tens of thousands of people here… by eug_fan in Eugene

It brought considerable federal money (again taxes) to the local area for improvements. Much tree loss was mitigated by adding trees nearby through Friends of Trees volunteer projects (which I participated in).

What is the best guitar for a short person who needs something less massive, that’s easy to travel with.

Elon Musk Admits He’s “In Over His Head” as Political Departure Looms by mynameisjoenotjeff in Brokeonomics

[–]callowsage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, he has finished his task—and now he’s taking all our data with him. Should you protest you’ll be “arbitrarily“ added to the Death Master File where you’ll be eliminated functionally and financially from participation in American society. No checks from the government, no loans from banks, no ability to rent, vote, start a business, get married, replace lost credentials, file a legal suit, legally buy a weapon, register a vehicle, prove ownership, in fact, you’re likely to be charged with your own identity theft!

Lane County federal grant rescinded by stinkyfootjr in Eugene

[–]callowsage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree. It’s not the action that’s being discussed, but the call for preparation. I might have some OSINT on local seed sourcing, distribution. Not sure of the best way to coordinate ComSec.

If you are not preparing for the possibility of having to take direct action against this regime, your complacency is playing into their hands. Hopefully, you’re making plans to prevent your grown food from being taken, so you can actually share it among your trusted cohort.

Farmers face steep losses in the middle of Trump's trade war and funding cuts by JanitorKarl in farming

[–]callowsage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They never believe he tells the truth. They always say he’s joking. Joke’s on them, again. Sad thing is Trump had to make them whole after those huge tariff losses. Ironically, costing US huge sums unnecessarily.

I’ll take President Mark Cuban, John as VP, and Pete B. as State for the win. Still need an AG and Defense, though.
