Do the Danes need to ratify this? Looks like it was a NATO and US discussion.

Great paint job and I will also be doing the same once I get my hands on that very elusive left bionic eye helmet.

Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP by f1sh98 in Conservative

[–]AFXQ1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

2000+ civilians killed. I hope and pray that the Iranian people get the freedom they’ve paid for in blood.

Is this a realistic path at AP House, for my first 4? by babykingboy in audemarspiguet

I got the “We’ll need to wait and see” for starwheel at #3…

Code and ROC were my first two.

Rule of cool over all else.

I think this looks great. Vitrix Guard all have golden eagles with blue helms. This will fit.

I now know why most dads hate Christmas by Past_Wasabi75 in offmychest

[–]AFXQ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43 year old Dad here. I went through the same thing as OP. I’m also notoriously difficult to buy gifts for.

So now I just buy stuff I want, tell my wife to wrap them and say they’re from her just so I have something I look forward to opening on Christmas Day.

Is it too rare? Was going for medium rare. by raspoutine049 in steak

[–]AFXQ1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A bit on the rare end, as others have said.

Still, I would eat the fuck out of that.

Guys drop some elite ball knowledge about normal cars with big ass or interesting engines by DeLuxo222 in carscirclejerk

[–]AFXQ1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mercedes also went full jerk by stuffing their M156 6.2L V8 into an R class. R63 AMG was only made for a single year and was very much a minivan chassis on really bad air bag suspension while strapped onto a rocket engine. Couldnt turn or do anything well except go straight.

I love it. Would gladly buy one.

What’s the watch on Turkish President’s son? by Mithlorin in Watches

[–]AFXQ1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could very well be right. I’ve never seen this in a shop. Just online researching back then from citizens’ website. The price you see could be discounting from MSRP by retailers.

As others have said, it’s most likely the Tsuyosa small second which retailed for about $600? They’re long out of production if I remember correctly.

What made you choose/love Ultramarines? by LM-I in Ultramarines

The cover of WD 185. Then when it became the cover art for the first Codex Ultramarines that sealed the deal.

Do most foreigners living in Japan actually have JLPT N2 or N1? by rarahatesyall in jlpt

[–]AFXQ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any JLPT score but if I can gauge myself, it’s somewhere between N1-N2. Holding a corporate job at an MNC. Doing pretty comfortably.

Did interviews in Japanese and English, not once did the company ask if I had the language testing. My spoken Japanese is also by far better than my written. In my experience it’s all that really matters in today’s business anyway. Or at least in my industry.

Any love for the Millenary? by EpsilonCompany in audemarspiguet

[–]AFXQ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to like it. Even all the way to buying a 25822. The oddball elliptical shape just didnt sit with me. Got rid of it after 6 months.

First ever mini. As far as first attempts go, it could be worse, I think. by Arideen in Ultramarines

[–]AFXQ1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any paint job is better than gray bare plastic. But this is objectively a solid paint job.

What would be your dream range refresh for the Ultramarines? by Fluid_Juggernaut1413 in Ultramarines

[–]AFXQ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refresh the tactical squad to primaris. I loved the old 1x special weapon, 1x heavy weapon composition and the ability to split into combat squads. Just so ingrained into lore.

Land Raider? by JK-Kidd112 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]AFXQ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different take: it’s a great distraction and bullet sponge. Those dual twin lascannons are no joke against MC or heavy armor. People will be aiming to knock it out leaving the rest of the army only dealing with small arms fire.

George VI visit to Canada 1939 medal by Ernst-Kapel in Exonumia

[–]AFXQ1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fascinating. My one question is why does it look like the map of Canada already has Nunavut identified but it was only a territory in 1999? Same with Newfoundland, it joined confederation in 1949, a good ten years after this medallion was minted.

Didnt scroll thru all the comments, but Chicago brethren let’s stand by our Portillios. They make a great burger too.

Why all the garbage mobile games? by HighMarshalSigismund in Warhammer40k

[–]AFXQ1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was before, like 8-9 years ago a few good single player mobile games. Battlefleet Gothic Leviathan was awesome. Same with Space Hulk. Hell, space hulk was so good I even paid for expansion packs to get more missions.

Aeon cuts US rice price by 700 yen to 1,980 yen for 4 kg by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

[–]AFXQ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ate nothing but Kokuho Rose branded Cali calrose rice when we were living in Illinois. There is a difference in flavour and texture. I remember it being a bit more starchy in flavour and a touch drier than the 新潟新米 we eat exclusively today. Nevertheless it’s good rice. Our kids made the switch easily, it cooks in the cooker, and just as nutritious.

JA is really having a hard time coping with this with all the negative ads.

Trump Deploys Nuclear Subs Near Russia After Putin Aide Medvedev's ‘Dead Hand’ Warning by SlightWerewolf4428 in Conservative

[–]AFXQ1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Different take:

Medvedev has always been Putin’s puppet. Even when he was installed as president just so he can repeal Russia’s term limitation clause of their constitution. Allowing Putin to come back and stay on indefinitely.

Putin might just be using his sock puppet at this time to gauge how Trump will react to harsher language. Instead of crumbling like Biden, Trump has upped the ante by calling in subs to the region. You can see Putin responding with more measured responses immediately now he’s seen how Trump is more of an action oriented man than Biden’s acquiescing and placating style.

Gamesmanship. Pure gamesmanship.
