  • In the 1800s absolutely, but since the discontinuation of leaded products, significantly heavy glass with tin, aluminum, titanium or other metals added for strength and sheen has been deemed crystal, with the previous material being designated as leaded crystal.

    I'm an avid antique collector and have needed to know the difference for several years.

    If you reside in the EU or Britain however, disregard those statements, as they still have legal definitions of crystal on the books.

    Edit: I meant UK, not EU, my bad.

    Edit again: it is actually the EU. American schools, man.

  • True, but if it helps it was an error of editing my post out of order, not of mistaken grammar

  • And they also add condensation to the inside of the bottle?

  • It was pretty clever to use a spray bottle to add condensation to the inside of the bottle. I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky lemmings.

  • I had considered that I wouldn't see condensation from alcohol evaporating, but I only noticed the level visibly dropping with Jim beam specifically.

    It could be as simple as the difference in color absorbing more heat from light, I suppose.

  • No lead. It's not great quality or antique, I just liked the shape.

  • No roommates, my partner doesn't drink, and I can see condensation in the container.

  • Yes, but what I usually store is higher proof

  • I'm building a house by myself, so hopefully installing 800 sq feet of wood flooring so I can stop paying rent.

  • I use an add on called noscript. It's a little scorched earth, but I hardly notice it now that it's set up.

  • I know this guy rambles like dipshit, but that is legit a joke I would make.

    Although coming from me, it would be intentional.

  • I'm surprised I've never seen something like this. It was right there the whole time.

  • That makes a lot more sense. I was wondering why c/ stood for magazine.

  • I think they're supposed to be magazines, but I've been saying subs for.like 12 years. Mags, I guess.

    Maybe çubs?

  • "In this subreddit"

    Yeah I have a hell of a time remembering what Lemmy things are called as well.

  • So I'd cut Google out entirely for the last year or so, but I still haven't found a good search engine. DDG has been my go to, but it's not great, and this old style Google seems to be close to how things were before all search engines sucked ass. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

  • Sharks are older than trees.

    They're older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.
