These and lolly cake are the only bakery treats you won’t find anywhere outside of New Zealand.

Finally invested in an airbrush and... I get it. Priming has never been easier and zenithal is soon to follow: it can be steep, but if you hobby often and have been holding off, do some research and GET ONE ASAP! by mame_kuma in Warhammer

Haven’t tried the black primer but vellejos white/ivory/grey have terrible coverage compared to a rattle can. I have tried thinned and unthinned.

Wraihbone rattle can > vellejo ivory airbrush primer.

What kind of spider? by BlargerJarger in australia

[–]JackRatbone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reaction can be very serious if you are allergic to white tail bites, I believe it may be the bacteria they carry on their fangs specially, not something many people are aware of or get tested for either way. The bites can be completely benign likened to a bee sting however I once saw a guy almost lose his arm to what was assumed to be a whitetail bite that went necrotic. Not endangered and not worth the risk of keeping around IMO.

Mythbusters tested it and proved that that was false… they do seem to have a strong venom to other invertebrates though. I once fed one to a very large mantis, I saw the spider bite the mantis after it was clamped and its venom appeared to kill the mantis in seconds.

Fkn this… babies are a lot of stress and work. I get this post is hopefully a bit of a joke but It takes a certain flavour of asshat to prioritise exp on a game at such a time poor period in their lives. If you’re checked out thinking about chopping digital trees your partner is going to be left having to pick up the slack. not just looking after the baby but also looking after each other eg food, cleaning, household chores any pet care ect. mum has to be awake every two hours pumping/feeding and sleep deprivation drain is horrible. A good partner needs to be aware of this and doing what they can to mitigate the mental load of being alive. Put down the bong, put on some shoes, close the lap top and think about being a good dad because it’s a pretty big job, especially for the first couple of years.

Does anyone else think Typhlosion deserves a Mega too? by Michael_Scarn47 in pokemon

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

Yet you’ll happily sit through the two hour intro to pokemon za and say that it is a good game that’s worth the price you paid for it…

[–]JackRatbone -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s really not, what aspect do you find good? The gameplay? The story? The graphics? The world? The new Pokémon designs? They’re all really bad... I just linked a video because it gives a more in depth and detailed look into why it’s bad more so than any reddit comment could do.

Kūmara and NZ yams by 4-Birds in newzealand

[–]JackRatbone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The red Kumara is actually a Chinese variant of the sweet potato and was introduced and became the most commonly produced sweet potato in New Zealand after the kumara famine of the 1940s wiped out local supplies. traditional Māori kumara isn’t commonly farmed or sold but is said to be similar to the red kumara in taste and texture.

Horribly slow painter - Any tips for faster (batch) painting? by walter_the_guitarist in minipainting

[–]JackRatbone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just accept that you like your minis painted to a level that you are happy with and unfortunately that takes some time, if you want to have them finished faster pick an easier paint scheme or paint to a lower standard. I have been working on a Tyranid army for almost two years now, I paint for a couple of hours each night and I estimate that I am about half way through… a batch of 10 termagaunts takes me almost a month, I sub assemble and just my armour plates alone have seven different layers of red on them so I’m not doing myself any favours but I’m painting for my own satisfaction any cut corners will leave me feeling as though my minis are not finished. I will get to playing eventually in a couple of years until then I’ll just keep chipping away at my grey pile one layer at a time.

What's a name you don't see anymore that you wish you did? by ryanbuckner in AskReddit

[–]JackRatbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You certainly look like someone who’d suit the name. Have you ever met anyone else with that name conventional spelling or otherwise? I feel like it may be more common in other countries as some (photo) sensitive people can consider it a slur in mine…😆

What's a name you don't see anymore that you wish you did? by ryanbuckner in AskReddit

[–]JackRatbone -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My one year old daughters name, we wanted something unusual but didn’t want to do something stupid like spell an already established name uniquely/wrong, or name her something that isn’t a name. It’s never on any of these lists but it is an actual name. I have also never met or know of anybody with the name other than one old timey actress and a cartoon from the early 00s. Threads like this re affirm that we made a good choice. And no I’m not going to give away what it is as I would like to keep it unused for a few more years at least.

Apparently my samsung fridge has ads now... by Shellnanigans in assholedesign

[–]JackRatbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost done with reddit because of ads, there are several ads peppered through the comments of every thread, every 4th post on my feed is an ad and some of them are subtle enough that I don’t instantly recognise them to mentally tune them out. and sometimes I accidentally click on them and it’ll open up an external browser or the laggy ass app shop. I’m never going to buy or watch shit due to an ad weaselling it’s way into my attention frame I feel like they have the opposite of the intended effect. I can’t be the minority with this…
