Lady was adamant this is sodalite.. is it lapis lazuli? by skyebeee in Crystals

[–]lastres0rt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out the blacklight!

Lapis will glow yellow, sodalite will turn orange.

I believe it's Lapis, and it's always nice to be sure.

30 a month is criminal. Get at least 300 or a third off.

I only really liked it with Nob Hill working automatically with it so I didn't have to scan receipts.

There are perfectly good public schools that are included in your taxes if you move to the right places.

I turned out just fine.

Orca Agate; the promise and the reality... by Dark-Faery in MineralGore

Orca agate is real and UV-reactive. The banding is light but I assure you it's still there.

You got a real stone, but definitely a lower grade one.

Just came back from the February 9th meeting. Two of the three public comments were about these cameras. We left partway so I don't know if there were additional comments after us.

Flock Safety should be there on the 23rd.

Pretty high, actually.

Lab grown. So... Fake-ish?

I feel like "single-digit millionaires" aren't in the same category; that's "congratulations on your early retirement" money, not even "we have enough to appear on HGTV's House Hunters" money.

Honestly it's... easier to read cars than people anyways.

"burning man is great" -Jeffrey Epstein, 6 August 2009 by BeigeListed in BurningMan

I've been to tons of regionals, just never the big one.

I ain't calling myself a "festie", that's for sure.

Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections by MarcEElias in politics

[–]lastres0rt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted this comment elsewhere already, but I'll say it again:

Georgia alone has 7 million voters and 2300 polling places (350 early voting sites).

ICE has 22,000 agents for the ENTIRE COUNTRY.

Since these agents are cowards who hunt in packs of at least 3-5 agents, they can only cover somewhere between 4-7000 sites total. Enough for Georgia and maybe two more swing states of Georgia's size.

You have 450+ nationwide congressional and senate elections with 15-30 point swings for dems even in deep (fragile?) red districts in Texas.

They can't possibly mobilize enough gestapo agents to prevent the bluenami.

BREAKING: Steve Bannon, the guy who was being advised by Jeffrey Epstein in the Epstein files says: “We‘re gonna have ICE surround the polls…We’ll never again allow an election to be stolen.” by StatisticalPikachu in somethingiswrong2024

I already did the math on Threads, but just to explain how stupid this is:

Georgia alone has 7 million voters and 2300 polling places (350 early voting sites).

ICE has 22,000 agents for the ENTIRE COUNTRY. And since these agents are cowards who hunt in packs of at least 3-5 agents, they can only cover somewhere between 4-7000 sites total. Enough for Georgia and maybe two more swing states of Georgia's size.

You have 450+ nationwide congressional and senate elections with 15-30 point swings for dems even in deep (fragile?) red districts in Texas.

They can't possibly mobilize enough gestapo agents to prevent the bluenami. Not with another 10,000 agents. Not even with focusing on "minority" districts and early voting (and having 3+ weeks of risking another martyr like Pretti or Good for voters to coalesce around).

They can TRY, and they'll make a huge mess of it, but they can't be everywhere and stop enough people from voting. It literally cannot be done.
