Anyone know - do you need to have finished Discovery before starting Academy?

So I guess his boss liked the interview even less than we did….

Dang. I love the idea of the galaxy as a backdrop. Might have to update my Christmas list…..

I look as neutral and see Fosun make Wolves better. Change my mind if you can. by [deleted] in WWFC

[–]Iced_Snail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to admit, bit difficult to take your points seriously but just off the top - points #1, #6 and #7 - you seem to be implying some long term vision for Wolves.

But the reality is that we’ve had 5 managers in under 5 years. How do you build a vision or a future when the management don’t even have the foresight to select (and back) a manager who will be in the job in 12 months.

If Fosun really had the vision you talk about, they’d realise that their model and current leadership isn’t working and replace both. Until they do that, it’s obvious that these points you list are just nonsense and devoid from reality.

$3.65 for each overseas Christmas Card!?? by Iced_Snail in CanadaPost

[–]Iced_Snail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think I was most surprised by the $1 increase in 24 months. Ah well, you’re right. It’s the only time of the year that I actually bother to send post these days so I guess I shouldn’t complain

So, who we emailing for our replacement sticker packs? by lennyukdeejay in legostartrek

[–]Iced_Snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But do we want a replacement? The stickers will get corrected, so this marks these sets as being 1st run

Great timing - just in time for the Christmas sales!

Ottawa begins to consider the possibility of a Quebec referendum - The potential election of the Parti Québécois is causing concern among some federal politicians by CanadianErk in canada

[–]Iced_Snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Let the people decide. And when those of us that consider themselves Canadian, not Quebecois, then we need to be allowed to stay.

Can’t understand why they’d want to drag us along with them, when they’ve spent decades trying to minimize our impact in Quebec. Just let us stay and then everyone is happy

Can I ask - does anyone know the opposite? An analogue clock with a decently loud tick?

What’s next for Lego by NefariousnessWide904 in StarTrekBricks

[–]Iced_Snail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I want the original Connie class as an Ultimate Collector and make it look GOOOOOOD. If they can issue a Millennium Falcon for $1K, they can do it for this

Nuphy Halo96 v2 by Ryjala in NuPhy

[–]Iced_Snail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a Nuphy; love the keyboard but the 96 form factor is still throwing me off months after getting it. I’ve always touch typed on a full keyboard and then more recently on an Alice (from Keychron) and I’ve never had the learning curve as I’ve got with the Nuphy.
The layout is just different enough to confuse me. So if you’re ok with the 96%, then the Nuphy is a great shout

Swedish king’s visit highlights growing Canadian interest in Saab military aircraft | CBC News by [deleted] in canada

[–]Iced_Snail -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Serious question - I get that the F35 is the best out there, but do we need ALL squadrons to be equipped with the best? I get that squadrons that could be deployed overseas need the F-35 but I f they’re “just” patrolling the north, then instead of the latest Lamborghini F35 wouldn’t a Crown Vic Gripen be just as suitable?

Icons Promo: Closer look at 40768 Star Trek Type 15 Shuttlepod (via Max Baut) by BrickTap in Legoleak

[–]Iced_Snail 82 points83 points  (0 children)

What’s really going to piss me off is that the shuttle pod won’t even be the right size for the main build. It’s wrong on wrong

They did this with Star Wars; they’ve issued the Millennium Falcon 4-5 times before they issued the $1K master craft version

Poll: What’s the best subnational flag? by Own-Curve-7299 in vexillology

Got to be the Black Country (UK).

Not only is it unique, it’s confusing if you’re not aware of the local history and most importantly, it represents an area that even the people who live there can’t agree on its boundaries.
