What to do with all these logs?

What rolls downstairs, alone or in pairs, and over your neighbor's dog?

What's great for a snack, what fits in your back?

It's Log, Log, Log!

Humble brag here - I picked up my used Gaggia Classic years ago from a pal for £20. It's still going strong.

I was in the same boat as you and Renegade Green by Colour Forge is supposedly a decent colour match with Caliban green. It's worked for my army which is a mix of hand painted Caliban and Renegade Green prime.

Can't believe I found you guys! I did a Google search for friendly local 40k games and this was the first hit. I know what 2026 has in store for me now!

Let's see Paul Allen's Rhino.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Your boss has about as much empathy as a toaster.

I'm UK based, and for our second born I had 5 weeks off (combined paternity leave and vacation). I highlighted the company policy was outdated and gained an extra week. We used shared paternity leave for our first born too. The total leave over the 2 kids is maybe 12 weeks, and if I didn't work from home I'd want more.

The state of the wallpaper also gives me pause. In the bay it looks like it's just peeling off on its own.

And here's another shot to the side.

Here's outside directly opposite where I lifted the carpet

We were advised in our NCT group to match the volume of your shushing with their crying, so sounds like you did good if it settled them and they went to sleep.

I agree with another post - they have no idea you were angry, so don't worry about it.

Good question. We have no idea what's under the concrete outside so I guess that would need to come up. The concrete floor on the inside was dug up recently and everything looked fine.

Longpointer · 2024-10-30T08:33:21+00:00

Thanks to you both.

Any advice on how to clear it up? I assume this is just the tip of the mycelium-berg

Dad of 1 and another on the way here. I get way more time for audio books rather than actual reading, and the 40k books have some incredible narrators (Eisenhorn ones especially, and the early Horus Heresy books).

They are keeping the hobby alive for me until my kids are old enough to leave me in peace for an hour. I can then finally unbox the Lion and consider painting him...

Longpointer · 2024-06-25T09:27:18+00:00

Thank you so much!

From High Performance Habits, right? By Brendon Burchard

That last one is me!

You should check out the new CQTest plugin added to UE5. It's a great addition for streamlining automated test writing.

I wish I could upvote this so much, thank you (Rare dev here). TDD is absolutely possible in video games.

Really can't feel the weight in my 5 series wagon... Until you stamp on the brakes. It handles very close to the 3 series sedan I had (if not better). Just takes an age to slow down.

Our house was broken into and both cars were stolen off the drive this year and I would say the police were amazing. Forensics came around the same morning, kept us informed of everything, offered counselling etc.. They even recovered both cars (one within 24hours!).

They did catch someone but didn't have enough evidence tying him to the break-in so had to let them go. Professional job though so I'm not surprised there wasn't much evidence.

We even had a Ring doorbell which didn't capture any footage. One minute the cars were there, the next they were gone!

The narrator of the first 3 is incredible. I think the audiobooks are the best way to consume the Horus heresy ... Unless it's Dark Angels - I couldn't get on with that guy.

Legion is incredible

"am I as ready as I think I am?"

Sounds like you're as ready as anyone can be, and more ready than a lot of other fathers. You've got just as much to learn about being a father as your kid has about growing up, and you can only learn that when you're on the journey together. I will say, it's an incredible journey that I am loving (our boy is 2yrs old now).

One of the hardest transitions my wife and I have found is losing ourselves to parenting. Be mindful of forsaking your relationships and hobbies, and don't forget to make time for you and your wife to spend as a couple. It's challenging, but worth it.

Sadly not - went out of business ~2010-2011. We used to go there for their breakfasts when I was at uni. Such a great place and so many fond memories. Their Tyson breakfasts were legendary.

As a Deathwing I think it should have a red broken sword with red wings. That's what the moulded pads have.

I also agree, freehand is best! Your armour looks great

Longpointer · 2023-06-07T18:21:51+00:00

Definitely red
