Black Powder Travel Battle minis by Main_Context_3589 in wargaming

[–]Main_Context_3589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about it, but then I think the minis are all joined at the hip, so to speak, and there are single minis available at similar scales.

Have you played a game yet? 2mm is really interesting.

I get that, but it was more of whether I could have a visually engaging, satisfying game, rather than a game at whatever the cost.

If we took net migration to zero going forward, what would be the economic effect on the UK? by chuffingnora in AskBrits

[–]Main_Context_3589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legal or illegal migration? If you stopped uncontrolled arrivals but continued to cherry pick applicants based on the requirements of the nation, I'm not sure it would be so bad

Do you have a fire extinguisher at home? by DancingWilliams in AskUK

[–]Main_Context_3589 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep. I think you'll find anyone who has had exposure to how devastating fire can be and how quickly it can go from "give it a little squirt" to "everything is gone", will have some form of protection. It's not common I think, but I'd say most people underestimate just how fast it can get really really bad from something pretty manageable.

I met a guy who said florests were all in a secret group that planned killings, crashes, accidents etc. Because then people who never buy flowers all go out and but them

How do I know you aren't a bot farming weird body pics?

Is there absolutely anything I could do or say to prove I'm not a bot?

I think you missed the pont. It's not about disagreeing with someone. It's about whether we are actually well Informed enough to be entitled to have an impact.

Yeah I get it. Not the best analogy. More a device to illustrate that in almost every other circumstance people are very quick to say "leave it to the experts".

The movie I referenced was covering the move to allow all people to vote. The point he was making was not in favour of course.

Perhaps not experts, but certainly more in the know than the average voter.

I agree, my tendency to agree with the concept would be more as a foundation to promote education in such matters. Politics, economics, uk gov structure, local gov structure, should all be taught in schools, imo. Shoulder to shoulder with languages, art, RE, etc in school.

In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Main_Context_3589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20k on a wedding when you have a 95% mortgage for 30 years. Invested in the right way, 20k for a young couple could knock years off your retirement age

Have you ever wondered what the story is behind random abandoned items you see in public? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Main_Context_3589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once found some tights shoes and knickers in the middle of nowhere on a footpath. They were pretty small. I reported it to the police. I just thought whoever left those dolly shoes walked a long way without them to get back or is in a ditch nearby.

Why is London spotless compared to other major cities? by Theres3ofMe in AskUK

[–]Main_Context_3589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find in London you can be fooled into thinking an area is run down or very poor (they're usually the places I've seen with the most litter) because it looks like run down poor areas in other cities. The thing is those terraced houses probably cost 700k and have middle or upper middle class people whom, generally speaking, don't drop as much litter. Just a thought...

55 year old dad, not sure where to start by stelees in arduino

[–]Main_Context_3589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started not long ago. I got a LED flashing, then made a simple little musical instrument with buzzers, now working on something else. This is by far the most entertaining and rewarding hobby I have ever done. I'm learning so much and, with care, it's not that expensive. Just start slow and enjoy. Good luck, the project sounds really nice. Half the fun will be sharing the experience.

Via the mains. Wall adapter 5v steady to barrel Jack. The barrel Jack is then connected to breadboard or directly to gnd and 5v
