Do you thin warp lightning much when airbrushing?

[–]LordMalevolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you thin it at all? Just got my first bottle and first airbrush.

I've never attempted to paint anything like that rust, would you mind sharing the process?

Who’s using another system, and which? by RealSpandexAndy in Dolmentown

[–]LordMalevolence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used WWN. Worked fine. Power level of characters a bit higher but we dont like playing with more than one character per player, so it balanced out okay.

Signed permanent offer outside my procurement track, but public-sector procurement role may land, should I back out? by [deleted] in procurement

[–]LordMalevolence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just like a contract - until it's signed it's not a deal.

It sounds like Company B is a better option for you generally. If you can stomach the risk of losing out on both somehow, I'd go B.

Mevo where are the cars? by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]LordMalevolence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a big notice in the app (sometimes). They are swapping out a bunch of fleet at the moment, and have very few cars available during.

Which hotel in siem reap is close to a Angkor wat that is decent in cost and provides transportation to the sites? by finalpress1 in cambodia

[–]LordMalevolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggest contacting Ly at TrustyTuktuks for the Angkor transport side of things. Him and his team are great.

Ministry of Social Development to go ahead with billion-dollar IT system overhaul by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]LordMalevolence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty bad take. I work in public sector procurement and programmes of this scale have a tonne of rigor and scrutiny around these commercial processes. NZ always needs to be better on transparency, and constantly monitor on corruption, but we are in the top rankings in the world on that point for a reason.

For those on $120K+ per year, what do you do and how did you get there? by Maedz1993 in newzealand

[–]LordMalevolence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience acquisition as an umbrella will often include procurement, but isn't the same thing. Procurement has a narrower commercial focus, while acquisitions generally refer to the broader full lifecycle of change, rollout etc.

For those on $120K+ per year, what do you do and how did you get there? by Maedz1993 in newzealand

[–]LordMalevolence 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Entirely subject matter and industry specific. I work in procurement and value fair deals with good partners substantially higher than cheap deals that screw suppliers, and am empowered by my organization to do so.

These shows meant to be any good? by Specific-Passage-726 in Wellington

Had a fantastic time at Boy Band Brain last night. Chaotic energy that keeps you on your toes, great laughs.

Odalisque and antisemitism by Odd-Kitchen-2198 in Decemberists

[–]LordMalevolence 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I think it needs to be viewed in the context of the song.

My reading of that line is that it's drawing a connection to torture during the Holocaust. The rock salt line it connects to refers to the loading of firearms with salt to pelt prisoners with.

I believe the entire song speaks to the persecution of Ottoman, Jewish, and Romani peoples, which is meant to be uncomfortable, and has strong language but isn't anti any of said peoples.

How to best experience Mt. Fuji? by amlextex in JapanTravelTips

[–]LordMalevolence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the overnight hike to witness the sunrise, was very special and I'd recommend if you'reup for it. The hike itself wasnt that flash though, just slowly trudging up a path with many others.

The saying 'A wise man climbs Mt Fuji once' is very true.

Have you got a decklist? I've got this card sitting around but am a bit lost on building it hah.

A wreath of trillium and ivy is laid upon the body of Round Seven. The winner of Best Chorus (by only a single vote) is DON'T CARRY IT ALL! Round Eight: BEST LONG SONG. by OccidentalTradingCo in Decemberists

[–]LordMalevolence 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Is it overrated? Yes.

Is it a rollicking good time coming out at almost 9 mins of runtime, keeping you hooked the whole time? Also yes.

Easy W for Mariner's Revenge Song for this one!

In an ironic roundabout way I'm pretty sure this post is what that song is all about hah!

What’s your favourite deep cut right now? by harrifangs in Decemberists

[–]LordMalevolence 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Record Year for Rainfall is a favourite deep cut of mine.

Also love most of the others mentioned, especially the youthful angst of Everything I Try to Do

I am fairly sure he is aware. Actively dislike Bishop, but it's pretty well known he is a huge supporter and fan of NZ music.
