They’re not advertising or telling people to come to lemmy.world… people are coming here and they’re just accommodating them instead of blowing them off

Nope, totally out of the loop on this one… Is he renaming Twitter?

What’s the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

Is this a humble brag for how many books you’ve read?

Is there a plan to ever do that?

Same, every post

Including this one lol

Wow this is really neat, I didn’t realize sun spots occur in bands like this. I always assumed they occur across the whole surface

Lol, this one is great

If you are buying a coin that’s already on the market as a fully attributed coin then yeah you don’t want to clean it. I buy coins that are “fresh” out of the ground so they’re literally caked with mud. They look like this so they require cleaning. Properly cleaning 2000 yr old coins is a months long process involving microscope and very deliberate & precise application of effort. For some reason I find it very relaxing, almost like a form of meditation. It’s a hobby that I’d love to share the results and talk about with others.

Shameless plug: You can see some of my Before/After pictures over at !ancientcoincleaning@lemmy.world :-)

Yeah, I like tech too but also enjoy cleaning ancient coins. It’ll be nice if someone else found my community and it would pick up. I’m trying to post ever so often so anyone that stumbles on it will know I’m still around

Pegging Celsius to freezing/boiling point of water makes it VERY easy to calibrate thermometers. That’s a huge advantage that makes it so anyone with a freezer and stove have a great reference point for calibration.

This wouldn’t work or make sense for cross posts in communities to have discussions specific to that community.

For example I run the !ancientcoincleaning@lemmy.world community. If a post from there is cross-posted in !ancientcoins@lemmy.world their discussions about the coin would be different (focused around numismatic interests as opposed to cleaning focused discussion). It wouldn’t make sense for the comments to be merged.

Perhaps to you or others that frequent there, that place & view is mundane and boring. For me that is beautiful, exotic, and conjurers ideas of a life I will never live or experience. I’m sure the places I go and the views I see that I find mundane would do the same for you and others… Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us.

Don’t forget trying to guess if the RX label is the line they transmit out of or you transmit to.

That’s odd, we use “a wee bit *” in the USA too, not a terribly common colloquialism but still used. On second thought, maybe not lol. I do read a lot, perhaps I picked up my familiarity with the phrase from books.
