Ornamental Dingbat posted:I have a friend who works in a crematorium who mentioned how they throw out fistfuls of diamonds that they filter out of the ashes. People agree to only receive the cremains and there's no major value in 2nd-hand diamonds. This sounds like a great way to make money: fill 12 ga. shotgun shells with the secondhand diamonds and sell them to prepper rubes for huge dollars.

Where are the diamonds in the crematorium supposedly coming from? Do people think that they just burn up dead bodies straight out of the casket, still wearing all their jewelry and stuff? Apparently crematorium operators do regularly find metallic deposits (including gold) in the remains from tooth fillings and medical implants, but they remove rings and the like and return them to the family intact.

Hipster_Doofus posted:(BTW, it is a stellar tv show, and anyone who hasn't seen it should check it out. I am not sure I have ever cared so much about what happens to fictional characters.) It is literally the best tv show there has ever been and I tell everyone this until I'm blue in the face but because it's not about murder or gangsters or drug dealers or other ott poo poo it gets ignored (Even though it manages to be about all these things and many more through the course of the show, dealing with every aspect of the human condition sensitively and intelligently and basically every single character no matter how minor their part feels like a fully fleshed out and relatable human being)

Why the gently caress do I have to “donate” my body to get blown up instead of selling it for 4 large directly?

I know a guy who goes to the Hills. County fairgrounds to buy gold. He has multiple film containers full of diamonds, all worth jack-poo poo. Bang the ring with a hammer to get the stones out and go about your day. Industrial diamonds for life.

Fallom posted:Why the gently caress do I have to “donate” my body to get blown up instead of selling it for 4 large directly? Yeah that's the part that pisses me off, that someone besides the family of the deceased is making the profit off what was meant to be a charitable deed. If the army wants to blow me up they can pay my wife and not the body warehouse I donated myself to. It would be like being an organ donor and finding out the hospital charged the recipient $20,000 for your kidney (not the surgery but the organ itself) and your family got nothing. Although they probably do do something like that knowing this ghoul factory of a country. Imagined fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Aug 15, 2019 |

Do people think that they just burn up dead bodies straight out of the casket, still wearing all their jewelry and stuff? He said that a lot of people insist on cremating their loved ones with their favorite jewelry on despite their warnings that it will be separated out once the cremains are processed. The offer to return the jewelry beforehand is standard. Most of the gold evaporates, silver tends to congeal into little black clumps. The silver and other metals are then separated by passing a magnet over the materials, he didn't explain how, but I assume he meant by using the Lenz effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQk95NcNa_s

It's illegal for you to sell your blood but legal for blood banks can charge ungodly amounts of money. They started backpedaling and now you can get points for your units that discount your blood transfusion but honestly that's maybe a bigger racket when they get someone in the hook and insist they tell all their Facebook friends to donate in their name for the credit and then they go and resell it for more than they'd have charged the patient for.

Sagebrush posted:Where are the diamonds in the crematorium supposedly coming from? Do people think that they just burn up dead bodies straight out of the casket, still wearing all their jewelry and stuff? I'd say 99.9% of the families that use our services for cremation get their valuables back, save maybe a wedding ring or three. Maybe some photos or mementos from the family (writing letters to "send with" the deceased is common and encouraged, at least at my FH), sometimes a stuffed animal going with a child, that sort of thing, but anything of value almost always stays with the family. They're careful about what goes into the crematory because it can really screw up the burn, and considering the time it takes to cremate a whole person, and the volume of people (again, at least at my FH, ymmv) that need to be cremated, it matters. Burning something like polyester clothing can gently caress up your exhaust system and require a shitload of cleaning because it essentially blows superheated plastic all over the inside of your system and that can effect how evenly bodies get cremated. It's a whole thing. our boss will send 'round emails with news stories of Trashy Funeral Homes Fuckin' Up sometimes and one of the ones that struck me was a couple years ago, a funeral director got caught financing vacations on the proceeds of selling the gold fillings of bodies that came through the funeral home. as in like bragging about it on Facebook and poo poo. There was also that one where they found babies' remains just stuffed in the attic in cardboard boxes in a FH that had closed down-- apparently they were re-using the infant caskets and just never even bothering to inter the remains. Some of these discount places are sketchy as gently caress-- with Funeral Homes in general, you get the service you pay for.

It is incredibly three (or frankly even four) dimensionally realistic, right down to the occasional "daydream" bits. Even though it takes a little creative license in portraying them sometimes, their content is just so organic.

I'm going the medical donation route, to the university hospital that performed my life-saving surgery. While I'd like to believe that my obese carcass will be used to teach fledging physicians, I really do not care. What is appealing is that the entire donation process costs something like $500, imcluding the death certificate & transport. My mom's second husband went that routre, and my mom wil, as well.

When I die please put my body in a chamber and harvest any combustible decomposition gases and use them to power a small generator and feed the power to the SA forum servers. It is my hope that with this setup I will achieve the ultimate meta poo poo post vicariously through all of you as my decaying biomass helps keep these dead gay forums running. But cut off my head and turn it into a Singin' Billy Bass first.
