spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 12:13 am That sort of damage is fairly common resulting in "slanted ones" at the end of dates. It's not an error, just PMD, unfortunately.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/15/2018 09:23 am Look at the right side of the last 1. You can see where the struck through debris used to be. The thin layer of debris floating now in the air. Report this Post to the Staff
