These are very cool!
Finished another one today. This glass is super thick so I have to etch each piece for a good 2-3 minutes each to get that design deep. Then drilling the eyelet for the jump ring takes another 8 minutes or more. Then it's off to the grinder for about 20 minutes to take the edges down & rounded off.

Stop an investment scam at a dinner party. Save an ogre. Lay to rest a conclave of ghosts who commute to a small village. Lift a curse that left London speechless. These are actual adventures from our #TTRPG Kickstarter: 101 adventures for $15!

Yep. My son was told by a college prof that they thought his paper was written by AI because he used "big words".
My son dropped the class.

What this, and the M-dash “sign” indicate, to me, is that we never taught people to write with proper grammar. This escalated so far that “good writing” is now an uncanny valley.
"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

"I'm apolitical" just means "I'm happy with the status quo," and "don't talk about politics" just means "don't rock the boat." Those of us who suffer under the status quo don't have the luxury of being apolitical, and those who don't suffer have an obligation to stand with those who do.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.
Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.
There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
