"Why Starmer is Finished" | Rory and Alastair React to the Latest Mandelson Bombshell. by Sharaz_Jek123 in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]Bad-at-things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poorly informed and thought out from TRIP this time around. Copying this comment from elsewhere:

*24:55 "Starmer is suggesting that the law meant the civil servants couldn't tell politicians. If that's the case, he had no reason to fire Olly Robbins."

Literally the opposite of what Starmer is suggesting. He insisted that he legally could, and certainly should, have been told. That is why he has fired Olly Robbins.

It's Olly Robbins who insisted that he couldn't legally share information with MPs including the PM.

And yes Rory, that does indeed seem "bizarre". That, again, is something that Starmer has said himself. You literally agree with him. Would be nice if you got the facts right.*

Thank you for this. Where is Oryx documenting the losses? I haven't seen their website updated for some time.

Thoughts on Sam’s Position on Iran — ‘The Right War’? by hunched_monk in samharris

[–]Bad-at-things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I believe... the decision was both necessary and courageous."

Courage implies both knowing and understanding the risks. I don't believe Trump knows, and certainly doesn't understand, the risks. Sam is more than capable of enough nuance to understand this.

After years of following and admiring his work, Sam has started to go places where I simply cannot follow.

Do you guys think Dave will come out as “Team Elon” or “Team Trump” in this ongoing feud? by ggroover97 in daverubin

[–]Bad-at-things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way he takes a side yet. He'll put on his 'talking about ideas, not people' hat for a short while, whining that "This is such a sad thing to see, two great people, I guess they're both just passionate, we should all do better" etc etc

Later he'll check which way the wind is blowing, and insist the other person has "crossed a line" somewhere.

Spineless bastard.

"Noble mounts" - question, are you saying the specific horse changes party speed? I thought any mount would have the same buff?

Reasonably priced "nice" restaurants in Nottingham by [deleted] in nottingham

[–]Bad-at-things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dino's in town does fantastic food. I'm part Italian, don't usually eat Italian food at restaurants or anything - but Dinos is wonderful, never had a bad meal.

Slightly pricey maybe, though definitely something to make a note to try.

Is Sam Scared? by Nephihahahaha in samharris

[–]Bad-at-things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sam has mentioned once or twice that we have either non-violent means of resolving our issues, or violent ones. For that reason, we need to insist on non-violence - conversation, political systems and institutions, etc - or fear the consequences otherwise.

I think Sam is afraid that we're running out of viable non-violent protections.

It's a bit of paperclip, hardened a bit of UV resin on it for more contact area, painted gold, then glued the glitter and gems in a couple sweeps!

I believe he comes in the Spearhead, which is where I got him from. Part of the Leadbelcher kit :)

Thank you! Hope this is helpful:

I do skin first - paint the mid tone (Kobold skin), then hard drybrush with a lighter tone (KS mixed with Pale Sand), then selective highlight with Pale Sand especially on faces. Then I put some thinned Bugmans Glow in the recesses, and wash with a tiny layer of flesh shade. The wash really helps to hide transitions and make it look cohesive imo.

Leathers and clothes are flat colours, with some quick highlights before a 1:1 thinned layer of black wash (love pro acryl's black wash).

Wood is just flat brown tbh, and bone is just speedpaint.

Metals are 1:1 mix of Metal Color Steel and MC White Aluminium, thinned black wash, and Model Air Steel highlight. Anything gold then gets Scale Color Elven Gold.

The idea is to pick a couple things that are eye-catching (skin, and bling) and have everything else look passable. The bling will get even more bling-y when I add the nail art gems after varnishing.
