That looks great, much better than the original cardboard components

That's the official story at least, but we all know what's really going on. There are 10 seasons of documentary detailing what's really happening under that mountain.

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

This is blowing my mind right now... Those things gave me nightmares as a kid thinking they crawl into people's ears...

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

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

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.

Then the Highlander games will begin.
