Lol, I literally just saw a similar headline, read the result, and said the same thing just before seeing this post.

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.

Not always, it really depends on what the person who did the board layout or wrote the firmware thought. When I do a board/firmware I label it from the devices perspective, so the TX is where the bits I’m transmitting will be coming out of, RX is where I’m expecting your bits to be sent to. Others label it from the perspective of the device connecting to it. So TX is where you connect the line your sending bits from. To me that’s wierd because, to others it’s what they expect. There is no standard and the result is you end up hooking it to an oscilloscope and see which line bits are being sent from. Then you use the scope to figure out all the settings. If they don’t transmit in power up then… Frustration ensures

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

I think Lemmy is reddit like, so any server running lemmy will be reddit like.

What really gets me is he carves their names into a structure and adds the date. The date was 23… As if 23 means anything to a structure that was built by people who were around in the actual year 23.
