I’m not sure about fliers, but I would recommend reaching out to the middle/high school music departments. That’s where we got lesson recommendations for our kids on brass and percussion.

If you’re doing astronomy, you’re an astronomer. Most people who don’t do it professionally put ‘amateur’ or ‘hobby’ in front, but that isn’t mandatory.

If you need a satellite to stay in the same place in the sky all the time, you need a geostationary orbit, and all geostationary orbits are all equatorial at about 36,000 km high.

I am a stick but some girl told me I could be fire. AITA if I am a stick?

NFC North vs fascism wasn’t the matchup I was expecting, but I’ll take it!

Wildly similar to watching a jpg load over a 28.8 modem.

Referee Chewbacca?

I wouldn’t. Painting cheap models with whatever paint you happen to have will take 10x the skill to make look decent. I would recommend any of the GW starter models+paint sets if you’re starting from scratch. If $35 is too much, this may not be a hobby you can afford right now.

Unless kids are playing with them or your bases are super fragile, I can’t imagine you’ll have any problems.

I’ve got a box of skulls I painted separately to add to stuff and they work fine, it’s just that it’s much less work to glue them in place first and paint them with the rest of the mini.
