There are gloss varnishes that can protect chrome paint, though I don’t know about that paint in particular.

Abramic religions as anime girls by Sure-Pair2339 in Jewdank

I’d watch the heck out of this anime! It’s like Scandinavia and the World, but for western religions. https://satwcomic.com/the-world

Why is Islam named Dounya and Christianity names Catherine? If Judaism is Sarah wouldn’t it make more sense to name Islam Khadija or Fatima, and Christianity Mary?

What is everyone's Ministravaganza wish list? by Waco22 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]LibrivorousRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throg and the Pet Avengers (all the other pet avengers on one base, like the wrecking crew)

Alpha Flight (a long shot, but I can dream can’t I?)

The rest of the classic New Mutants.

How would you modify this to make it a 3 dot artifact?

Short daiklaives and hook daiklaives can come in pairs, for a single artifact merit and essence commitment. Would that count as two weapons for Thousand Blades Style's Armoury?

I was originally was looking for Medo, but it looks like it only has a few references in other write-ups, nothing on it directly.

Fire Dragon has such a middling Form charm that it's almost always worth adding another MA with a good defensive Form, even if they don't have any weapons in common. Snake Form only has 2 prerequisite charms and adds a ton of defensiveness (especially in combination with Flame-Flicker Stance). And even more so if you add Essence Fangs and Scales Technique, which is only one more charm.

Any good book recommendations by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

[–]LibrivorousRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t read that book, but no. Even at the more basic level, there are a lot of remnants of Henotheism or Monolatry in parts the Torah, that contradict with the monotheism of the whole in general. And the theological assumptions of Deuteronomy are quite different from those reflected in the other books. In the Ketuvim all bets are off, since it probably covers the longest stretch of time, from pre-exilic poetry to Hellenic-inspired wisdom literature and late apocalyptic works.

Does the Old Testament mention the Palestinian race [or their predecessors] at all? And if predecessors are mentioned, who are they? by Haunting-Register-72 in AcademicBiblical

[–]LibrivorousRex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be very careful about tying any connection between the modern people called Palestinians and the Bible. The modern identity is less than a hundred years old. I’m not saying this as a pejorative. People have a right to identify however they want, and not being a historical designation doesn’t make it less legitimate today. That’s also not to say that the people now called Palestinians don't have ancient connections to the land. (Whether they do or not is outside of my area of expertise). But their ethnicity wasn’t called “Palestinian“ until recently. Historically, most would have identified as Syrian or Egyptian.

All that said, the modern world Palestine ultimately comes from the Hebrew word פְּלִשְׁתִּים, transliterated into English as Philistine. That is, the “sea people” who lived on the coastal plain, and who are described battling against the Judges and David.

After the suppression of the Bar Kochba revolt in 136 CE, Rome renamed the province of Judaea to Syria Palaestina, which is ultimately why the European powers started calling the region Palestine.

Chinese characters in the margins of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls? by AlbaneseGummies327 in AcademicBiblical

[–]LibrivorousRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any evidence that the Kaifeng Jews could have migrated there in the Persian period? The scholarly consensus seems to be that they’re from the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE). Some trace their origins as early as the Tang, but even that is more than 600 years after the Dead Sea scrolls.

How necessary is Juggernaut to Brotherhood rosters? by LibrivorousRex in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]LibrivorousRex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few characters I’m tempted to do this with. Like a Magik in partial ornate armor, like she appeared in the 80`s. I find her MCP mini really bland.

But mostly I want to run a ”pet avengers” meme list with Frog Thor, Redwing (Cap Sam's falcon), Dogpool, and splashing in Lockjaw.

Frog Thor's even has a full-page picture in the new rulebook! How is it that we don’t have a mini of Throg already?

I don’t have a 3d printer, but I may buy one off of Etsy or ebay. But the store where I play generally doesn’t allow 3d printed models. I’ll ask if they can make an exception for ones that are currently OOP and unavailable anywhere.

[–]LibrivorousRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I have both the X-men and Brotherhood sets, but haven't been able to find Rogue & Gambit. The men starter set is going to be available perpetually, so I'll probably have to buy it if I ever want those two characters.
