    The article says that the coins were from a US Mint heist so the government owns them.

    See my comment below

    This is an article cobbled together by an algorithm or something, hence my confusion. The first line of the article states the coins are from the US Mint heist. If you go look up the hoard on wikipedia they say this:

    Following the initial discovery of the coins, there was widespread speculation that the hoard represented the discovery of the 1901 theft of $30,000 (~$877,536 in 2023) from the San Francisco Mint by employee Walter Dimmick. Kagin's and the U.S. Mint ruled out this theory, stating that the Saddle Ridge Hoard is unlikely to be part of the mint heist, due to the diversity in the face value and condition of the coins. On March 4, 2014, the U.S. Mint stated that "[they] do not have any information linking the Saddle Ridge Hoard coins to any thefts at any United States Mint facility", and "[they've] done quite a bit of research, and we've got a crack team of lawyers, and trust me, if this was U.S. government property we'd be going after it."

    Also all of this happened 10 years ago and the guy Kagin sells the coins on Amazon.

    This is why you should check a little bit of someone’s history before replying to any inflammatory comments. Most of the time it’s obvious they have an agenda when you look at their post submissions and comments.

    North Carolina Supreme Court Secretly Squashed Discipline of Two GOP Judges Who Admitted to Violating Judicial Code ( www.propublica.org )

    The other had escalated a courtroom argument with a defendant, which led to a police officer shooting the defendant to death.

    Wait, what happened? That seems like as crazy of a story as this one.

    They are more likely referring to Dawn (s2e13 Enterprise).

    100% this. Blackberries are rhisomatic which means they can grow back from a tiny bit of leftover root. You need to remove all the roots to get rid of them. Also blackberries take three years to mature so you may have to deal with this for a few years before they are truly gone.

    teft ,
    @teft@lemmy.world avatar

    Way off base. To control rhisomatic plants you want to refrain from tilling. They spread easier when you till since you break apart the rhisomes and each piece can create a new plant.. It's one of those things that can really frustrate new gardeners or home owners who don't know about this. This is why you plant rhizomatic plants in raised beds, it's way easier to control them that way.

    We haven’t pinned down the masses of any individual neutrino, and we don’t even know which ones are heavier than the others.

    Before Windows, many games were playable by booting directly into them.

    That’s not true. You’d boot up which loads the bios, which initializes your hardware, and then a Disk operating system like MS-DOS is loaded. From there you’d load your programs from a command prompt.

    I failed the strength check despite being a paladin and using inspiration. I never saw him again even after getting through nearly all of act 2. I've asked this before, maybe even in this community, but no one gave a concrete answer, likely because the game was still new.

    TIL in the Carboniferous Period, no fungus existed to decompose trees. They just grew on top of each other up and up.

    The weight of the trees was so great that the ones on the bottom got squished and became coal. That’s where coal is from. Bonus fact: the whole time this was happening, sharks were hunting in the oceans. Sharks are older than trees and fungus!

    If your plastic container decomposes as rapidly as a cardboard box, it will quickly become much less usefull.

    How so? Plastic would retain its current properties, just something may break it down over time. Wood is still useful after all.

    The sun won’t die. It will turn into a white dwarf which is basically a really hot ball of carbon, iron, and lighter elements which will just cool down for trillions of years until it’s an inert lump. Also the sun may not eat us. We aren’t sure how far the sun will expand during its red giant phase. We may escape being gobbled up and may only get baked like an autoclave. Thanks for attending my lecture.

    Not for stars the size of our sun. You need a few times the mass of our sun in order to get a black hole afterwards. Our sun will puff up to a red giant, slough off the outer layers, become a white dwarf and then slowly cool over aeons.
