I agree.
What I think it was was an acid bath, rinse, and maybe a coat of clear enamel or something to make it smoother? That's just a guess based on a minimal knowledge of metallurgy. Acid is often used to bring out patterns in cut meteorites and patterned steel.

I wish there had been an explanation as to why the pattern was invisible on the polished ring until immersed in the black liquid and coated by the brush.

This is one of those things you can't unsee. A waste of perfectly good chocolate on a dumb doll.

Yeah, I don't know anything about them and don't really care. But I am interested in the right way to pass judgement if you can elaborate for me.

Thanks in advance.

That wasn't clear in your original response. If your intention was to rope in the good cops because you see the odds stacked against them and there is little hope for them, what does that say about the power you give to the bad cops?

It's been said this is the place where all your dreams can come true. Whether it's being a cop, fireman, soldier, father, and even a natural born killer or worse yet, Donald Trump. *snort*

Be careful what you dream and make it come true. Watch more Pixar.

OH! And eat more cake. It's not a lie. I saw it myself. Life is short.

Context is everything.
A snippet of the whole is no way to pass judgement.

The Covington kid and Jussie Smollett is are prime examples.

I can live with that but, you were probably not their target demographic. You know.. maybe Geico or the The Most Interesting Man in the World is more your taste?

YOU are a powerful motherfucker!

Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10% of families in the general population.

This means that even non-abusing good cops have (on average) a group of friends and coworkers comprised of 40%+ abusers in the home. 2 out of every 5. These are friends and coworkers that they would take a bullet for and defend with perjury if need be. These are the good cops.

But you know, I don't blame them? The role itself is insane. Why should humanity have the right to put all of our collective violent, physical, criminal, and tragic life events onto the shoulders of one small group of people? It's not sustainable. And it shows in the lives of those who attempt to assume that role.

Well, I guess we could always blame them for being cops. I mean, there are many other, much more effective ways to improve a culture and impact positive change. If that was their motivation for becoming a cop. That would be a positive take-away: Come up with alternate work programs to help cops stop being cops.

Two and a half years ago I would have found this funny.

That's what made me suspicious in the first place, she seemingly slipped before her weight was on it.

I guess frozen in place makes sense for the rocks.

I half expect to see the longer version next week where they use their ADT panic button for help, life alert style.

Why? Because if someone wants to make up a fake scenario to sell me on something, I insist it be more interesting. ;-)

Thanks
