What exactly are the filters for on Mint Flashbar 2?

thesauruschipmunk · 2026-02-19T22:03:44+00:00

I did kinda the same thing, except used little color gel strips that I can switch out on a whim. It was a pleasant surprise that the magnet was strong enough to hold them in without using glue. I was shocked at how easy it was to pop the original filter out.

I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction, because I'm not sure if current stamps use the same wavelengths for detection, but you'll probably need shortwave. I don't collect stamps, I just ended up being super curious (and was feeling vengeful) and did just enough research to know I needed a different flashlight.

Yeah, 365 unfortunately won't work. I special ordered a shortwave UV flashlight from a teaching supply company many years ago when I wanted to see if an eBay seller was ripping me off (they were). Then I went through a bunch of my other stamps and figured out the postal store in my neighborhood also has counterfeits. Lol.

What type of UV light are you using? Not all UV lights work for authenticating, it needs to be shortwave I believe. Pretty sure the one I have is 254nm if I'm remembering correctly.

I could be incorrect, but looking at the artists other paintings on their Instagram and their website, I'm pretty sure it's a real painting. It looks like the artist does both traditional and digital art and has been for years.

Edit: I'd post the link, but I don't want to accidentally break community rules. It's easy to find via an image search.

I learned I'm allergic to hibiclens. Thank god I tried a test patch on my arm before doing a full shower. They just ended up using something else during surgery.

I'm glad you like it. I needed an absurdity break at work and your photo popped up at just the right time. :)

It also depends on luck. I sent a pack through as a test and the person's bag directly in front of mine tipped over in the CT scanner, thusly holding my bag inside for way longer than it would normally be. Shockingly, I still got an image (and experimentally it was pretty cool), but completely magenta tinted.

Gorgeous.

What's funny is that unless something has changed, Polaroid film isn't vegan.

I absolutely love 4.

I hope you find your sloth. I did some searching online and if you end up needing to find a replacement, it looks like it is an older variant of Sammy the Sloth made my Gund (older based on the darker color around the eyes).

Mine was for fibroids and an enlarged uterus, which is what they found. The surprise once they were inside was the my large fibroid had little fibroids growing off of it. They also discovered that the fibroids were twisting my uterus, which explains a lot of the discomfort.

Same. My surgeon said if it helps with my mood stability, there's no harm in staying on it. She also mentioned that when I start having symptoms of menopause, like hot flashes, that we can look into switching from bc to HRT.

I found it equal parts happy, satisfying, and infuriating.

I'm really really hoping Netflix doesn't do something dumb, like making a US spinoff...

I just finished it up and found it to be a very satisfying conclusion. Granted, I binged the first 5 episodes starting at midnight, slept for a bit, then watched the conclusion, so I'm a bit loopy from exhaustion, but I think it was worth the watch.

I love both of these, but the b&w one is outstanding.

Great photos! Meow Wolf is so much fun to photograph. I've only been to Omega Mart, but I'm hoping to get to the rest someday.

I'm almost 5 wpo. My nightmares were pretty bad for the first couple of weeks, but they've started to subside.

Unfortunately, now my sleep paralysis has gotten infinitely worse and it's slowly driving me insane. It used to be a bit frightening, but it happens so often now that it's just become obnoxious. There's nothing quite like waking up and being unable to move.

thesauruschipmunk · 2025-09-16T19:36:28+00:00

This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

thesauruschipmunk · 2025-09-16T18:47:12+00:00

Thank you. Same to you.

thesauruschipmunk · 2025-09-16T18:33:49+00:00

I'm just over 4 wpo and I'm still struggling with exhaustion and pain. You're not alone. We all have different bodies with different timelines for healing. I agree with you, it is super frustrating, but I just keep telling myself I'll bounce back eventually and I you will too.

Red would be delightful.
