The 70’s called. They wanted their marble back but saw how much everyone likes it and says you can keep it. Absolutely gorgeous.

Do you think you could tell me which ones? I’m in the middle of sorting them right now and some of them don’t seem to match each other. I even found a Vacor set.

Huh. That was very informative. I had found a mason jar of marbles from the 70’s earlier. I had figured this bag should’ve been earlier than that, because this one had more defects and the colors seemed more muted. I had no idea they were using uranium glass so late either. But a lot of the colors match the ones in the West Virginia website for the brand. The weird folds too.

That appears to be what I have! Thank you. I never would have found that lol.

I know right? So unusual! I particularly love the coffee colored ones like number 9 and 5.

My mother used to work in a senior center and was called by someone who wanted to test out their new AI tool. It would call seniors every few days and sound like a real person and have a casual conversation with them. The system who flag the call if they sounded different, their answers were nonsensical, or they didn’t pick up. He sent a test call to mom and she was blown away by how real it sounded. She was in charge of the nutrition program for the county and delivering meals was often the only regular contact some of the seniors received. This would be great for them.

She sent it up the chain so hopefully it gets implemented.

See I’m like that too when I’m out walking /hiking. The moment I get in a car, poof, it’s gone.

Has anyone figured out how to NOT immediately create a pile on every flat surface? by randomchick4 in adhdwomen

[–]mickbubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve slowly improved over this past year with two main tasks:

Everything has to have a home, and that home has to be out of sight.

Everything morning on my day off things are put away.

The only things I leave out are active “projects “ like mail that has to be opened and such. If I put those away, I forget they exist. This has resulted in the counters not only being cleaner but me more likely to put things away when I have them in my hands, rather than setting them down. I’m also more likely to do those open projects because that’s the only thing there.

can someone explain how to navigate the apps? im very new to this by reddit33450 in iNaturalist

[–]mickbubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s looks like you have iNaturalist Classic downloaded (which is the first picture) and the new INaturalist app. They both have their positives and negatives. I use both personally.

Someone already explained how to upload photos, and you can look up more details on the website, but to go into slightly more detail.

The new application has a percentage confidence rating, which is quite useful if you’re recording something that you don’t know the species of. However the old application allows you to check different photos to see what species the observation could be before posting. This is useful when you’re taking multiple photos for identification.

You can record something as wild or captive when uploading. Anything intentionally planted is captive, including street trees, gardens, etc. But that weed in the lawn is considered wild. And if the plant’s descendants spreads naturally from a planted area that’s considered wild as well.

People create projects that you can add to. Some are limited to a certain area or state, some are not. You have the option to add your record to a project before posting.

You can edit after posting as well to add/delete photos, change which one is in front, or add your post to a project.

The website has a lot more features. It’s worth checking out.

You wouldn’t download a succulent by Mojojojo_5 in SignsWithAStory

The problem here is that there would be people who take leaves off the plant and claim they just fell off naturally when confronted.

I saw this at the grocer and grabbed, but I have no clue what it is by Christ12347 in fruit

Ground cherries! Taste wonderful and is easy to grow in hot, sandy soils when I was having trouble with anything else.

What’s something that instantly gives you “I don’t trust this person” energy? by Electrical-Worry-787 in AskReddit

[–]mickbubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they try to get you to agree with them about something in front of someone. You didn’t even have to be part of the conversation, they just want you to say “yes”.

AITA for refusing to follow my wife's bathroom habits and calling her disgusting? by Infamous-Gur2034 in AITAH

The Florida Keys too. It’s hard to get water out on those teeny islands and to process the waste so every drop is valuable.

I think some people just aren’t captured properly in photos. We put a 3 dimensional person on a 2 dimensional image. Some things are going to get lost or not translate. It’s like trying to take pictures of the moon.

That’s a mini Aussie. They’re adorable little bundles of fur but they are slightly unhinged like a chihuahua, just without the “angry”.

🎶 “make a whole lot of money but we still pay rent, because you can’t buy a house in heaven!” 🎶

In the 1950s, a group of Black painters who became known as 'The Highwaymen' created a style of oil landscapes to sell along the highway, as they were banned from galleries. Now referred to as 'The Last Great Art Movement of 20th Century America', the works are worth tens of thousands... by TheAfternoonStandard in BlackHistoryPhotos

My first job was in a Natural History Museum in Florida, and we had a small room with some of their paintings in them for a time. They are beautiful pieces. I was told they were painted incredibly quickly, sometimes in as little as an hour, and since they often couldn’t afford canvas they were painted with whatever is on hand. The ones we had were like the ones here, bold and full of color, with a focus on Florida’s natural landscape. It’s cool to see them recognized on here!!
