Polyethylene glycol. Same chemicals as old style antifreeze.

Old style antifreeze is ethylene glycol and extremely poisonous. It’s killed many a pet from licking off the ground because it’s sweet.

PEG is also used as an osmotic laxative. Miralax is PEG. It‘s also used as a gastric lavage (Golytely) when prepping for a colonoscopy.

As it was said when Indiana Jones was choosing the chalice, choose wisely.

The Minecraft Steve shadow makes me wonder: is this real?

I actually know this because my son is starting to do some really cool things with the game. He added dragons and stuff. It looked fun. Not as good as woodworking though.

Minecraft Steve? That sounds like a deaf demolitions dude. It's real but the owner is reluctant.

I got wind of that meme. Very spammable.

I haven't watched the movie but I have heard many opinions on it. Bad and good.
 
Wasnt free, but i did find it. I had to go up to KY to an antique market, but otherwise!!! Never seen a mallet like this, nor one that heavy. Made of a short piece of log section - pith is in center of flat sides. Weighs somewhere around four pounds (with handle) and is 5 1/2” x 6” x 3 5/8”. Dont have a postage scale handy (there are at least 4 around, but wifey puts them away and then forgets where). And only way to get actual volume is to do a water displacement which i probably wont do. But fudging on the measurements because of the rounded corners, but not accounting for the hole nor the handle, it appears in the 75# per cf range. In the real dense range. Aint gonna do anything to the great patina, so it will remain a mystery wood.

I have this one that my mom saw me admiring at an antique shop. She went back later and bought it for me as a surprise. Some type of burl I think. I wish all the stories and history came with them. IMG_3894.webp IMG_3895.webp IMG_3896.webp
