Okay did further research on Aztec obsidian missions and did find one of similar shape as well as more representative ones in much poorer shape. It would appear the pics are representative of the one discussed though not the actual. One on right does appear to be of same shape

โฆAnd these are unpainted (usually painted black) 8 inch steel targets. Notice any similarities? ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐ There may have been such an obsidian mirror but I doubt thatโs it in the pictures.
I am very excited to share that I have been selected as a Platinum Club recipient this year at Microsoft. I am extremely grateful and humbled by the award and so thankful to the many colleagues who support and inspire me on a daily basis. Iโm also thankful to be able to work with

I agree with a lot that you say and disagree on others. But you are cordial, respectful, and most importantly philosophically consistent with a big heart. Nothing but respect. God bless

Totally skewed graphic based off misleading stats. Begins at end of mini ice age closely followed by temperature suppression with explosion of Krakatoa. Very narrow ban of time handpicked to deliver a predetermined result that is meant to elicit a specific result. Most of all...

Macbeth. My English teacher was was 6โ2โ or so, flaming red beard and bald on top. During summers he acted in a Shakespeare theater in Connecticut. When he read/acted portions of the story he had everyone enthralled. It was like having a cross between a Viking warlord and Conan
Early this morning my Dad passed. My heart is broken but I was blessed to be at his side holding his hand, kissing him, telling him I loved him, then saying a prayer over him as he passed. He was my mentor, my hero, my friend. The world was a better place with him in it.

Without free speech there is no freedomโฆ non specific language in law is by nature subject to interpretation by the agencies enforcing those laws. The legal language is ambiguous on purpose to suit its broad enforcement and to ensure itโs available use as a tool for control.
For all my techie friends out there some advice. Find something NON TECHNICAL to do with your free time. No free time? Then take a step back and take a look at your life. Pause, breath, get unplugged.
25 years ago as an Elementary School teacher I attended Comdex in Las Vegas. After I told my wife I wanted to work for Microsoft. She said โyouโre full of sh@$ youโve never taken a computer class.โ Going on my 20th year here ๐๐๐
8 years ago, a coworker told me NOT to apply to a job because there was someone more qualified than me that had already applied.
I seriously considered it. But ended up applying anywayโand got it.
It always works out to believe in yourself.

The other day I shared hooking up a single travel monitor to my Surface laptop. It worked so well that I picked up a 2nd travel monitor. Today I hooked both up, including their power cables to a single Microsoft Surface dock 2. Excited to have this all working moving forward.

If you are a person of prayer would appreciate some for my mom who is in hospice. She broke a rib Friday, diagnosed with a pneumonia Sunday and suffered a stroke today. I believe sheโll be joining my Dad this week
Finished my personal brisket knife off tonight. Itโs the prototype to a style Iโd like to replicate and maybe do a number of with improvements along the way. Canโt wait to slice up some brisket with this baby. Knife is made out of Nitro-V stainless steel, bloodwood handle, and
Final touch up on a bottle opener. Just a little hammer action to smooth things out. Sometimes just the simple act of repetitive motion, in this case hammering, can be a great way to release stress. Having to focus helps push away all the thoughts running through your head. Itโs
