Uranium_Green

It's a stereoscopic photo; if you cross your eyes when looking at it so that the two images overlap, it will appears 3D

We already have a people being 'nostalgic' for plastic straws... It's depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.

On a related note, Uranium glass isn't dangerous at all, it's production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.

Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.

Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

We do, though generally nowhere near as much as some other places. I've only ever seen maybe 2 in my life.

OTOH not mowing brings so much life into the garden; yesterday I found a grass snake in my garden, first wild snake I've ever seen

So these and a couple other types of bricks I've seen (ones with multiple holes to for masonry bees(?)), have surprisingly high costs for what they are.

While I don't take issue with the stated reasoning for the inclusions of the bricks; I am curious why the the cost is so high, and by extension, who (if anyone) is profiting off of the high costs of the bricks?

If the these become required, will every brick manufacturer be able to produce them, bringing the price of them down?

Are there any obvious unforseen issues with using them?

Is there a limit on their lifespan?

Do they need cleaning by the homeowner?

Fundementally, I think if there aren't any glaring flaws with the requirement for these then this would be an easy win for Labor to add

Roughly about 10g of caffeine for a 70kg human is where it's starts to generally be recognised as lethal

I'm actually not too sure how right you are here, my last cat was a chunky boy at 7kg, let's say that the upper end 68mg is the LD50, I'm roughly 70kg, 680mg of coffee would be very uncomfortable and unpleasant, but I don't think I'd be hitting the LD50.

LD50 in humans is probably around 100mg/kg, fatal doses are 150-200mg/kg

Honestly, don't worry about picking one to identify it, the mushroom portion of the fungi is the equivalent of the the flower on a tree.

If you're really so concerned, place the cap face down after picking so the spores still end up on the ground.

Or if you really don't want to damage one, use a dentists mirror, or a telescopic inspection mirror, or even a compact mirror, and place a piece of paper with a small hole cut in the centre and a cut from the outer edge to the hole around the mushroom (think of the collars they use at the hair dressers) use a small piece of masking tape to join it and camping peg to pin it to the ground, then return to it later for some spores to inspect and

A quick suggestion as those don't look like nylon lock nuts; grab yourself some medium strength locktite and put a drop on each of the threads otherwise that frame will slowly become loose due to thermal expansion/contraction cycling

A good way to protect the cutting and speed up the cutting calusing and subsequent rooting is to sprinkle/dip the cutting in either rooting powder or cinnamon. Rooting powder is the better bet for something you want to root, cinnamon is perfect for where a cutting has been taken from as you probably don't want your established plant to start sprouting roots half way up

She looks sturdy, how do you keep the bare steel parts from developing rust?

Camphor tablets?

It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.

Heck, my sister's asked me to get papers she's co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years
