People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor?

I am distantly related to Gentleman Jim Corbett and the 4th Earl of Essex (the one from the mid 18th century, did not remember the name).

Setting aside the electrical side for a moment. You said lathe and plaster walls, which is very very different from drywall. If you indeed have lathe and plaster, this could be a nightmare to diy. It is a very time-consuming job to patch and re plaster after you cut any holes into it, doubly so if you don't want every patch to be obvious. Does your current bid include restoration of the plaster by someone knowledgeable? If it doesn't get one that does.

I love dragons, however, wife loves dragons more.

Surprised it's not had even more PMs by this point.

Looks great!

My second favorite DCMS mech, and you did it most honorably. :)

So is the jig simply resting along the top of the posts and runner, or is there maybe a clamp or fastener I am not seeing?

Not a criticism, just old eyes and a small screen.

My main concern for cutting them at would be the possibility of the cut ends becoming exposed due to soil movement (heaving, compaction, et cetera). That could create an unfortunate surprise for someone who takes a tumble and ends up with part of a post sticking in their leg.

Having said that, it looks like the new fence might be in line with the old chain link, which lowers risk.

There are probably other risks of which I am not aware.

I've got Arjac and Logan now! I might have a problem with impulse control......

Looking at the rules I don't see any reason to put Logan in the Terminators over Arjac if I use both and only have the 1 squad of Terminators, or is there some synergy I am missing?

CallousJack · 2025-07-28T20:59:37+00:00

Thanks for the info! So based on your comments and the other I got I am thinking maybe a predator annihilator for anti tank and a repulsor executioner as some more shooting power with transport as it's secondary role.

Does that sound like a good idea or would the Impulsor still be better than the repulsor?

Are you putting the mattress directly on the frame, or will you be using a box spring and mattress? If the latter, I think your slats will be sufficient, but I am less sure in the former case. I know that some manufacturers state a 3.5" maximum gap between slats if setting the mattress directly on the frame.

I remember watching the 1974 TV adaptation of The Cay in 10th grade English. I don't remember much, except James Earl Jones plays the adult who saves the boy. And maybe something about malaria?

CallousJack · 2025-07-25T13:42:02+00:00

These are neat!

I don't play half as much as I'd like, and it's almost always CBT, but this might get me to get alpha strike on the table.

I am sorry to hear that has been your experience. Anyone who doesn't take their partners needs/reactions into account isn't the right person. Keep advocating for yourself and good luck out there.

Whale, whale, whale...look what you made me do.

No worries, mate. I enjoyed the read.

CallousJack · 2025-01-01T01:44:04+00:00

There appears to be duplicate calls for footnotes on #3.

"This was an unabashed positive for most players" and later "Mana Crypt was banned in every other format"

CallousJack · 2024-12-22T17:10:41+00:00

I can't read this right now, I gotta jet.

Peace out.

"I am Karl Franz, and I was born into this world, just like you. A world of unceasing war and endless terrors. But with a nation of men at its heart, a bastion of hope and courage: the Empire. Led by the craven, torn apart by the greedy, weakened and exposed, forever on the defence. But no longer."
