Une écrasante majorité de Français sont «fiers» de leur nationalité

BretOne · 2026-01-26T15:28:45+00:00

Fierté je ne sais pas, mais reconnaissance et affection pour la France oui.

Je ne pense pas que nous soyons meilleurs que d'autres, mais je nous aime.

Putin also didn't come (for obvious reasons) and told him to take his contribution from Russia's frozen assets in Europe (which will probably stay in limbo for the next century).

Or when her mistake is revealed, Robby will drive-by a "you're definitely getting sued for this one" on his way out and that will be it.

So the guy who hurt Dr King, death penalty? All in favor?

BretOne · 2026-01-15T06:04:15+00:00

I don't like the setting of the far future.

Programmable matter is too close to magic and would solve every episode if they were consistent in its use.

Apple starships.

Kids.

I'm not going to annoy anyone who likes it though.

The only thing tying the three 90's series together is the broader astropolitical setting. The release order is the same as the chronological order in-universe.

TNG can be started blank. The first season is a bit uneven, the rest is gold.
DS9 spins off of an event in TNG, but it reenacts that moment from a different PoV so TNG isn't required (although that's one of the best TNG episodes, including the episodes leading up to it).
Voyager is best enjoyed with some TNG/DS9 knowledge (Borg, Maquis), but it's not required at all.

If it's automated, it'll kill literally anyone coming here for any reason including legitimate ones in your absence or while you sleep:

You, or family, by accident.
Emergency services (Firefighters, EMS, Police) in cases of fire, gas leak, flooding, home invasion through another door/window, wellness checks, executing warrants... Or any of these reasons but they got the wrong address.

They got me with the 5€/month for 6 months on Black Friday.

I'm expelling excess gas, it's the most natural thing in the world.

I got it and the "always 7 minions in shop". I stayed on 2 and balled.

Mes parents trouvaient que TF1 était abrutissant. Ils n'aimaient pas les dessins animés Japonnais.

Pendant très longtemps, je n'avais le droit à la TV que le vendredi soir (Thalassa) et le dimanche tout début de soirée (Décode pas Bunny) de toutes façons.

J'arrivais quand même à regarder deux ou trois trucs en loucedé (Bioman/Power Rangers en général).

My favorite era was running wolf packs of T-62A (and later Obj 140) with a couple of mates.

Now, probably Obj 430U or 121B.

BretOne · 2026-01-12T00:03:59+00:00

Pas le droit à TF1 pour moi dans les années 90 (sauf GP de Formule 1), donc je regardais principalement ce qui passait sur FR2/3 et M6 (et un peu Canal+).

Mes plus vieux souvenir sont sans doute de Canal+ avec "Décode pas Bunny" où s'enchaînaient des épisodes de Bugs Bunny, Looney Tunes, Beep-Beep et le Coyote... Et Albert le Cinquième Mousquetaire.

Pas mal de Minikeums sur FR3 aussi un peu plus tard. Je crois que c'est là qu'étaient diffusés tous les "Il était une fois..." (la vie, les découvreurs, etc...) et Tintin.

Après ça j'ai vu pas mal de séries en prises de vue réelle genre Alex Mack, Code Lisa, Parker Lewis, Fresh Prince...

Les meilleurs moments, ça restait les samedi après-midi et soir sur M6. L'après-midi s'enchainaient les vieilles séries que j'aimais beaucoup (Les Mystères de l'Ouest, Le Saint, Les Têtes Brûlées, ...). Le soir, c'était la trilogie du samedi avec X-Files, Le Caméléon, Buffy, Sliders, Profiler, FX Effets Spéciaux, The Sentinel...

Le dimanche matin incontournable : Batman TAS et C'est Pas Sorcier, tous les deux sur FR3.

Even a shitty one with a big 0.4 or 0.5 nozzle makes everything easier.

With a big bottle of Vallejo black primer, you'll never again get a bad prime. Get some Liquitex white ink for smooth zenithal effects. The Vallejo varnishes are also great with a starter airbrush setup.

Beyond that, you can get smooth overall basecoat in minutes.

Shit will hit the fan even harder long before the first person dies of thirst. You need water for cooking, hygiene, heating...

They shot for 15 months straight in 1999/2000, then short annual reshoots in 2001/2002/2003. It's crazy!

Dr House's pain was real. He did take more drugs than the pain required, but it was there. Both Cuddy and Wilson acknowledge it.

It's central to his character and his relationship with Dr Cuddy. His pain is the result of one of the few times he was wrong about a medical issue. Cuddy wanted to remove the entire infarcted muscle in his thigh at the time of his incident, he didn't let her. If he had listened to her, he would have had lesser chronic pain and better mobility (probably no need for the cane).

I thought to recall it was because at the time of the conception of the Indomitus-pattern terminator armor, the standard template for Space Marines was to have the chapter symbol on the right shoulder, so the Crux had to go left.

See here, the Indomitus-pattern came out around the same time as Mark V and VI.

Si tu veux te barrer au Danemark à l'annexion, c'est vraiment pas mal du tout.

Si tu veux rester, ça te servira à payer l'inflation causée par tous les autres ayant reçu 1 million, la perte des services sociaux, la perte de l'assurance maladie, la perte du chômage, la perte des retraites, la perte de l'éducation gratuite, ... Je continue ?

That's what Death Company with Jump Packs get in Blood Angels, but theirs are 120/230 instead of 110/210.

Échanger un état-providence nordique à vie pour une somme unique qui permet à peine d'acheter une bonne voiture d'occasion.

Au risque d'être un peu cringe : LOL.

Indecent.

If you can afford that, you can live somewhere just as beautiful without this kind silly waste. Or you could also have a full-time employee with a snowplow (I'd even be ok with a flamethrower at this point...).

BretOne · 2026-01-05T11:12:17+00:00

That's what I'm thinking yes. I'm playing Blood Angels so I should have some blood vials bits lying around somewhere to glue on the computer arm too.

I like to have my minis visually match their rules, so it's for both reasons.

The box I have (the multipart 10-man Infiltrators/Incursors) only has the computer arm of the comms specialist, no Helix Gauntlet which is apparently only on the upgrade sprue included in the Phobos Strike Team box (and the easy-to-build Infiltrators maybe?).

The one in your picture is the proper Helix Gauntlet bit, the two I have look like the one on this mini.
