Do you like silver? Do you like old foreign coins? Well here’s a pile I’m too lazy to deal with, they’re a variety of silver coins from 50-90% silver content. So I’m selling it at bulk at $1.50 a gram by the scoop, just DM me how much you want. $5 US shipping.

At Colonial Williamsburg and spotted an ammonite. So where’s this stone from because there are no ammonite-bearing quarries for hundreds of miles.

This is becoming a new pet peeve for me: every time some natural event happens, all the meteorologists suddenly think they’re experts in it.

Meteor fall = meteorologists become meteoriticists

Earthquake / tsunami = meteorologists become geoscientists

They should stick to their lane.
