I think I got lucky when I chose to buy the Gearloose starter kit because it is REALLY top notch and easy to use. I'm not going to lie, I get weirdly excited to prepolish on that zinc+ with 8k pandimonium in particular. It's so fine it's actually hard for me to confirm my final polish is complete on the smaller facets because the prepolish is so smooth. 😂
I'm working my way through Andrew Brown's cuts right now myself, and this one is on my list! Your stone is stunning, I'm even more excited to try this shape out now.
3.6 minutes in the context of a 40 hour work week is a 0.15% increase in work. No sane person would consider that clinically significant. If they're claiming there's a significant difference of 0.15% between the groups, they're making shit up.
Some dishes freeze well, so those leftovers can be turned into future meal prep. I liked freezing my chili in silicone muffin tins, then one or two thawed chili pucks was a perfect last-minute meal when I didn't feel like cooking.
Based on the article, the device will host actual kidney cells - I'm sure it won't be as effective as having your own original kidney, especially in it's early prototypes, but hopefully it'll be better than mere dialysis.
Even if the device was just a glorified portable dialysis machine though, that would still be a significant quality of life improvement for those on dialysis. With dialysis you're locally tethered to the dialysis clinic because you need weekly treatments, until you eventually die or win the kidney lottery. With a portable machine you could hopefully travel, see the world and visit family more.
Be kind to your kidneys everyone, drink enough water! You don't want a life without efficient kidneys.
Pixelfed is the Fediverse version of Instagram and designed for hosting images (and someday will hopefully integrate with Lemmy). You can use them or the imgur host Crylos mentioned for your pics. I look forward to seeing your gems!
It's not actually blue. If there are two full moons in the same calendar month, the second full moon is referred to as "blue". It will be the same color it always is.
It would be a helluva lot cooler if it actually was blue, but alas...
I hope UT can help you quickly - my v5 delivery was just pushed back several weeks due to unfortunate delays. Fingers crossed those delays won't impact you! 🤞
I'm with you on that one. It feels like old people trying to be hip and modern, it doesn't feel genuine.
I have also never understood why a company would want to actively pressure you into letting them send you things you don't want. Isn't it just wasted bandwidth to blast emails to people who won't ever see or want them? So bizarre.
I was truly stumped by this one! I'm really curious to see what you facet from it though, you don't see many calcite gems. Please share if/when you try!
Right? OP thinks they're slick, taking a random picture and trolling us by claiming there's a cat in the photo. We can clearly see there's no cat. Nice try, OP. 😉
OP you deserve so much more than an upvote for this compilation - this is truly impressive. I had no idea I was missing out on so many yarncraft communities! I will rectify this ASAP thanks to you.
Do the comments still show after you empty your own browser's cache too? That seems less likely to be the culprit, but worth a check to be certain.
Elsewhere in this post there's also a helpful user who notes that the mass-editing programs can only handle a thousand comments. Is it possible this is why some of your comments are still there?
