Even the guy beside the jumper was pulling him back.

I suspect this side of the mold is flush with the face of the coin and the other side is recessed to the depth of the coin. That would give the depth of the coin for metal to flow and still make this a workable partial mold.

Or you're completely right and this is an unworkable mold.

There were other critical fails, but this is certainly the biggest.

Absolutely the most environmentally friendly option.

There is also out-of-season produce from Mexico. I'm not sure of the price difference - I didn't even look - but it solves some problems.

Thanks, that's quite informative. I take it the Stripe option is new. If those trends continue, it looks like things are currently financially secure, but not necessarily paying things back soon or building much of a reserve for replacement hardware. Hopefully the added awareness gets a few more donors. Given the low costs we're seeing, even $10/year will make a notable difference.

I have half a bottle of Southern Comfort, the only American booze I've bought in a long time. For reference, this was bought before Trump was elected. I may have to find an alternative.

What exactly is the threshold you're waiting for on this escape plan?

Yeah, I didn't donate for that last post, but this one was a good reminder to do the annual donation again. I'll be watching for a post about that fundraiser, too. Hopefully it isn't needed, but I will definitely put in extra to pay you all back.

Both distillation and reverse osmosis should get rid of microplastics. Reverse osmosis should get rid of mercury in any form, while it would depend on other chemical properties (evaporation rate, temperature source water is heated to, etc.) on whether distillation would remove chemicals like mercury.

Some further reading.

I'd also like this info. From what we can see, donations are pretty stable relative to expenses, which is another way of saying those personal expenses are never getting repaid. @Shadow@lemmy.ca can we set up a repayment fundraiser so active users can be incentivized to at least pay that down? I'd also like to know how many active donors there are, which I also know is difficult with more-or-less annual donors like myself requiring at least 12 months of donations to be reviewed, but it would give us a better appreciation of the monthly or annual donations per donor required to keep this afloat.

And, as always, thank you for the work you and the rest of the administrators do to provide us with this space.

Moreover, if you don't have government approval, an independent investigation is essentially viewing illegal materials and can put you in jail.

 

Basically what the title says. Sometimes something is removed, rightly or wrongly, but its removal diminishes the comments below it. The capability is already in Lemmy and it would be nice to see if one chooses to, but I can accept that the feature could promote toxic behavior.
