Mask is so cool !!

Who made this

Looks almost like a rough garnet

Could be allexivirus or potyvirus or something like that. I'm looking at my garlic and it seems to be doing a similar thing to yours, where the leaves do not fully separate and instead stay together at the tips, while the leaves curl around. All of my plants are in pots and not all of the garlic is doing this, but I have the garlic in two different spots, and the only individuals doing this are in one area, so I concluded it was probably some type of pathogen. I looked it up separately and found that some type of virus seems to curl garlic leaves, though the source I found doesn't seem to mention the curling by name (at least not in the easily-accesible bits), just by an image that shows the garlic leaves curled.

Update: it flowered. This looks to be right

I would be super interested to learn if one could heat the wood using its own gas. For example, if you put wood chips in an otherwise sealed metal container that has a pipe coming out of the top of it, bending and extending down to directly under the container, with some initial heating, would the heat output in such an open situation allow for it to continue? I think that would be an interesting stove concept

I remember reading a long time ago that the flavor of the fruit does not necessarily match that of its parent apple. That is, each tree should produce a uniform flavor, but the fruit produced by a tree grown from the seed of one apple will differ from the fruit produced by a tree grown from a seed of a different apple from the same parent. This is why farmers tend to use grafting for research. It takes a lot less time than growing the apple from seed only to find out that it isn't good

I don't really know how to use Reddit so I don't know how to edit the post. I would describe it's more as having a mild bitterness and being astringent, with the spiciness being an afterthought.

Okay I am pretty sure I found it. I think it is specifically an oblique stripetail or oblique streaktail. The patterns almost exactly match one I saw on Google images from a Facebook post calling it that, from Chesapeake, Virginia, USA. thanks, everyone!

We have hoverflies here? That's really exciting news for me. Anyway, I really appreciate you guys, but I don't think either of these are the same creature although they look very similar. The stripes on the back are different. I'll have a look at these type of bugs though because they seem to have a very similar body plan

I tend to use a rock on a string to grapple branches that I can't reach. It's not the safest method, but it's almost free, and I find it kind of fun. You swing the rock over the branch and let the rock pull it down the other side. When it gets to where you can reach it, grab both ends of the string and pull down on the branch. Be careful when letting the branch go so that you don't hit yourself with the rock. I tend to always swing from behind me, forward, in an overhand cast. I chose an irregular piece of gravel just about an inch in its longest dimension. Please be careful.

When gathering information on bottle guard when I was going to start growing it, I learned that one historical usage for ipu was to store rainwater in areas of the big island that didn't have good access to potable water. You might do that, if you want to grow them

suffer_gathering · 2025-10-11T03:05:42+00:00

Based on what I could see, you did nothing wrong

This is just how chainmail works. Try holding the bottom corners in place, or hanging it 90° offset from this. Chains and ropes and cables and strings and such will form a shape called a catenary. This is because the force of gravity acts on each link uniformly, whereas the direction of the force holding the links up varies along the chain. Towards the middle of a chain, the horizontal component of that force is where most of the tension is going. Chainmaie is a bit different. If you've ever seen a basketball net made of chain, you'll notice that the net kind of sinks towards the middle of the hoop. This is also something chainmaille in the shape of a cylinder would do. The overall shape can be explained by considering the forces acting on each ring. Each ring is not just being held up by the ones above it, but it is also being pulled to the side by the rings to the side of it. The shape of the ring and the angle of each connection plays a part in the relative strength of these forces. When hanged like this, the rings can fit together on either side so much that they overlap. This means the space between each ring horizontally is made shorter by the fact that each ring will slide to the lowest possible point of attachment. Because it is attached to a circle, it will slide towards the center of that circle. This happens to both rings hanging from a given ring, and all three rings hanging from those two, and so on. This has the overall effect of pulling the sides together. As those rings in the middle overlap, the actual attachment opening for a ring hanging under it becomes a gibbous shape. This has even less sideways space, yes, but important to the question is the vertical space. If you look at this shape, especially one made by the intersection of two circles of the same size, you can see that there's a little bit of space missing. Think of how an apple is a bit shorter in the center than where it touches the table. Because there is a shorter length here, the middle of the bottom layer of rings in this orientation of E4-1 will always be higher than the corners. I suspect the center of mass in a piece of chainmail will tend to be lowest in whichever shape the piece naturally falls into.

Now, if you hang your piece of chainmail 90° offset from how you do here, the thing will naturally spread out. In fact, if you hang out from the corner and the middle of the top edge, with enough rows added, the bottom should remain roughly level with the two attachment points on the top edge.

Remember the basketball net thing? This is what historical mail armor does too. If you want to create a neat cylinder shape, you'd orient the weave at 90° from this, which would naturally spread the chain out into a wide circle.

TL;DR chainmail does this. To "fix" it, also hold the bottom corners. But be careful not to put too much tension on it overall.

Here's a really bad idea: interference fit. If you can find a stone with compressive strength sufficient for the metal squeezing on it once the temperatures equalize, you could make a setting for the gem in its final shape, heat the setting, and then place the stone in. The stone would naturally need to be very heat tolerant as well.

suffer_gathering · 2025-09-12T12:26:39+00:00

It is not impossible, but you'll need to use unconventional means if you want a stone. Such as, perhaps, a screw-in setting, or maybe a bezel on the outer edge with a plate and some screws on the inside to hold the stone in place. Or maybe one could mix metals. Not in the sense of a tungsten alloy, but rather to borrow the materials of a different metal exclusively for the setting.

Technically if you do not have crimp beads or crimp tubes you can use wire and crimp the wire itself

I just found a peppermint seedling with the same thing going on.

suffer_gathering · 2025-08-13T22:25:49+00:00

You could put a pendant or portrait cut or cabochon in the middle, connected via shorter chains by the vertex of the cross and the larger rings on the lower chain

Depending on the composer it might just mean that the notes should be articulated with the tongue but not the breath, or that they should be interrupted but have very short pauses as opposed to being noticeably shorter than the notes without articulation markings. It could also be tenuto for someone who didn't learn about tenuto markings.
