Yes, these are. But one of the big problems with buying these on ebay, is that they are made in chinese factories, and can often be fake. In this case, I'm sure it is labradorite, but it was not the piece shown in the pic when I bought it. In many cases, the item will not even be the same stone they are advertising as "natural." Often times they will use various dyes on them, to pass off lessor minerals as move valuable pieces. Sardonyx is fairly common faked item. I recently bought two of them, and I'm hopeful they are real. The only way to know for sure is to cut it in half and see if the color is throughout the entire stone.

@@BM22TechReview it's sad how people rip people off with lies

I agree

As for the old Playboy's yes, I agree. So boring, that these days they wouldn't even be referred to as adult magazines; they'd be on par with current fashion magazines. In the case of these, not exactly "lewd." But certainly, a Hollywood rag. Unlike that old issue of Scream Queens I showed, everyone in these keeps their clothes on. This is more like the People magazine from the 1980s and 90s. Hollywood gossip, celebrity promotion, and general fluff promoting the movie industry to the adoring public... i.e. Hollywood rag😁

Good point. Pretty much all long-term survival food can pose various risks to people with certain conditions. Part of that has to do with the contents being able to last 25-years, and part due to the food itself.

When I'm working night shift, it makes it easier to upload videos in the middle of the night😁

Thanks bro, and a Semper Fi right back at ya 😎

They're overrated, just another big bug😁

Walnut might just be the trick for those, good luck.

@BM22TechReview when I do my brass I put a little but of polishing compound in there. Did the same with these. I think it will be good.

Never had any problems with it?

@@BM22TechReview Sometimes that grid falls out of the place, but it is easy to put back on. But when it comes to size, the big size suffices, even my Mainecoon.

I'm happy to hear it's working well for you; sadly, it didn't for me.

The pizza that bites back 😁

They run amuck in the Pacific Northwest. Feel free to come catch as many as you want.

They look very cool, and even at this size are fairly affordable. Whereas the giant ones can cost millions $$$.

Yes, and surprising affordable.

It could just be a natural color variation. But also, there are several spiders from the desert that are close to each other, but actually come from different locations and therefore from different families. The Israeli Desert Huntsman (Cerbalus Aravaensis) comes only from the Arava region of Israel along the border with Jordan. But there is also a nearly identical spider called the Desert Huntsman which can be found in Egypt and around that region. And then there is that more "cream color", but otherwise identical spider called the Dancing White Lady Spider (Leucorchestris arenicola) found in the Namib desert of Namibia, and that spider is commonly sold in the USA. And it is very close looking to the Wheel Spider (Carparachne aureoflava) also from Namibia. BTW I've seen this exact spider being called 3 or 4 different names, and one retailer has it labeled under two different names on their website (the same freaking spider).

@@BM22TechReview do you have any The Israeli Desert Huntsman for sale or know anyone who sells this exact species ik a lot of sellers get similar sub species mixed up like I have a “giant forest scorpion” But later figured out she was not, she actually is Javanimetrus cyaneus a sub species of forest scorpion which commonly get mixed up with breeders and I would love to have this exact Huntsman I love the bright white and the pure beauty of these things

In the USA Underground Reptiles seems to be the best place to buy one (I've bought 2 from there so far). They go in and out of stock; my current check shows they are out of stock, but that can change daily. They allow you to enter your email to be notified when they are in stock. Good luck

Thanks for watching.

Well, it's not like I'm dancing naked in front of the mirror (all tucked in) and talking to these moths...at least not yet 😁

@@BM22TechReview lololol.... a needed response. Hehehe u nut.

Is it a jumping spider? Is the body shaped like a black widow? You could also try searching Goog for "black house spider" and see if that's it.

Yes, you do. Consider having just spent the last 7 hours out in the ocean snorkeling and swimming (without fins) with dolphins out in the deep water.

I met her when I was stationed outside of Palm Springs; I was just 18 at the time.

Thanks Bro, that time in Japan was the first time I'd ever seen one. I've never seen one in Oregon, Washington, or California. But the google machine says there are 32 species of cicada in Oregon; they must be hiding really good 😁

Thanks for your support...

Well, that's the thing about those "old" crushes; it's best to leave it with that old image, rather than what they look like now. But at least she did that Maxim photo shoot 😁

And when looking at them closely, they are not too perfect. Being too identical or perfect, should raise some red flags, as that indicates a fake.

I've not found a way to clean it any better than you are doing. I put some soapy bleach water in it, shake it around a bit, and then rinse it out. At least that way, everything left inside is germ-free and does not stink😁 In the big scheme of things, this is a device used to clean things, often some pretty nasty things, so I simply became content with it not being completely clean itself.

@@BM22TechReview ok thanks. I see why the other model is an upgrade lol.

Thanks Bro. If you do a G-search for Glass Buttes, you can see where I had to go to get them. As well as some of the hazards of the area.

@@BM22TechReview definitely will be looking that up. Thanks!

Looked it up. Alls I can say, is that could be a very fun overnighter!! Be safe Brother.

Yes, there are a few more with gummies and a few with other candies.

@@BM22TechReview Will you share them? Upload or send them? Would be amazing

😁

Sorry, I already gave it away to a bunch of people, and after 10 people used it, it stopped working.

Hi, please I do I get an invite as a new user? It keeps asking for invite code on their website.

Thanks, and congrats on that extra 20 bucks.

@@defison198 I don't even know how I got the invite, it just showed up as a postcard in my mailbox

Same here.

Yes, if it dries it'll require a good soaking to get it clean. So, it's best to clean it when you're done using it...although I rarely do 😁

Can’t clean the tank either. Only a small drain hole

I love still mine, and it has not failed me yet. Yes, it has some shortcomings I wish they would address. But for the price, and how well it cleans, it can't be beat.

Always look, before you sit down 😁

The show turned out to be horrible, but learning about the FYC was worth it 😁

He eventually figured it out.

Thanks Bro, and I promise it's not just a dried-up dog turd 😁

I had never heard of it either. And at our age, we're still learning about things that have been around all our life. Just think what other cool things are out there, that we still have not heard about.

@@BM22TechReview yes Sir, and today in 1963 I was born. :) I best get to learning lol!

Happy b-day Bro.

@@BM22TechReview thank you my Friend

It did, and I did make a video about it. But did you really expect to see an entire 3-5-week process, in just one video? The main point here, is that you can use a brass tumbler to polish rocks. And the rocks essentially hold their basic shape, rather than being tumbled into tiny pebbles in a drum polisher. Of course, they won't retain as much of their original shape as they do when using a cabbing machine, but until recently I didn't have a cabbing machine.

I bought this on Amazon, and it is a name brand rather than a Chicago Electric? Harbor Freight is great for some things, and now I know it's not good for rock vibrating. I do have a Harbor Freight rock tumbler (drum style), and that lasted a couple of years before it croaked. I have 2 of these rock vibrators, the first has about 300 hours on it, and the other only has about 60 hours. The bowls are getting a bit scratched up and stained, but still solid. The problem I did have, is that a couple of nuts/bolts vibrated off, and it took a bit to figure out where they went 😁

@@BM22TechReview thanks for this information.

Tiny and deadly 😁

I guess some people call them grass spiders, or lawn funnel web spiders.

You know it! So, don't be jelly, Bro 😉

@@BM22TechReview lmao!

Thanks Bro, and yes, I agree. Until that day at PetCo (it's where the pets go), I'd never even heard of these curly hair tarantulas. And even after I bought it, I was pretty sure I wouldn't much like it. But so far, it's my most active tarantula, thereby making it the easiest of them to film.

One of the things that keep these so cheap, is that it's a national market. I used to get black widows from Arizona, now I get them from Florida, and the tarantulas are coming from Virginia. With a nationwide customer base, it makes it more cost effective. And with FedEx and UPS overnight shipping, it really extends the reach of the retailer. And I'm not exactly sure how much population has to do with the lower cost. Being that the US population is higher than that of Oz, it allows retailers to take advantage of economy of scale with such a large nationwide customer base. Additionally, there are really no laws governing the sales of venomous spiders and such. Exotic dangerous mammals and reptiles, yes...but not so much for spiders, centipedes, and scorpions. The funny thing is, there are laws about sending bugs; that's only due to the potential risk to crops from certain bugs.

@@BM22TechReview BM22. Inflation here has been bad. Cost of living pressures are becoming extreme. A absolute dump of a house (basically bulldozer job) in the suburb where I live recently sold for $2M. Sydney is the 6th most expensive city to live in globally in 2024 rankings. in 2022 Sydney was ranked 11th most expensive. Give it a few more years and we will rank 1st.

And not what you want to be known as number one for. At least the crime isn't as bad there, as in the s-hole cities around here. The crime keeps growing worse, but the people keep voting in the politicians that are letting the criminals out of jail (to commit more crimes) and this whole "no-bail" thing has dangerous people being arrested, booked, and released without sitting in jail until they at least see a judge...and this is of course so they can commit more crimes.

@@BM22TechReview Jim, there's a saying in Oz that goes like this. 'Australia is a few years behind crime trends in the US'. Yeah that was before the internet. Now if there's a new criminal trend it's learned overnight via a tictoc video. The crime here is getting worse, lots of knife crime and because we can't carry knives or a gun everyone here is defenceless. The criminals know this so they do whatever they want. So many home invasions now. So much crime connected to 'new migrant' families.

@@leokimvideo We have a similar saying here; As goes California, so goes the nation. Everything sh-it-y seems to start there these days. Are non-lethals like the Byrna launcher available in Oz?

I do prefer the western black widow myself.

Well, there's one in every generation😉

I can understand larger spiders needing water, that makes sense. But black widows and redbacks needing water was a new concept for me. And yes, I took your advice and all of my spiders, including the widows and huntsman spiders now have tiny water dishes. At first, I was using plastic bottlecaps, but now I've moved on to those "fancy" water dishes being sold on Amazon as actual spider water dishes. And as you've seen in some of the tarantula videos, I've had to upgrade to the next size up, because the tarantulas drink so dang much.
