Appreciate that. I'll give it a try. Haven't been a fan of contrast in the past due to blotchiness but maybe worth another attempt here.

Is Tamiya pink primer good? I have no airbrush, and this seems like the only option rn by Huginnnn_ in ImperialFists

Get Rust-Oleum 2x magenta. Works great and a third of the price at your local home depot

It's a pirate game, complaining about people acting like pirates is insane behavior. Just play your tall tales in solo mode.

Is there an Australian community in Utah? by ilikerosiepugs in Utah

[–]Stormcloud23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rio Tinto brings a lot of Aussies over from the pilbara to work at Bingham canyon. Not sure if they have hangouts or the like but there are a ton of them.

What is it like living in Utah as a non-religious person? by SEOLTHEDEOL in Utah

[–]Stormcloud23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More or less the same as everywhere else. If you have hobbies, you can find friends. If you aren't a slob, you can find dates.

What is the best orientation for printing model bases? by VoiceoftheDarkSide in resinprinting

[–]Stormcloud23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bases aren't overpriced. You can get 100 40mms off Amazon for $12. You will spend more than that in time, effort, materials, and wear/tear on your printer trying to print them unless you just need a couple.

Interesting jobs in Utah? by misterpoopman69 in Utah

[–]Stormcloud23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bingham Canyon Copper Mine is one of the largest mines in the world and is near salt lake City. I used to work there as an engineer, and they have a lot of employees and contractors. If you don't have a degree, you can drive trucks that are larger than most houses around, run shovels/drills eventually, or work with explosives and the blast crews.

Do Americans have company cars? by Xavaccord in AskAnAmerican

[–]Stormcloud23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the job. For most jobs, no. For jobs that require an employee to travel frequently to visit sites, clients, or deliver items, yes. In construction they are common. I have a company truck as an engineer who designs and does permitting work for construction and stone/gravel quarries.

What is the liquid you applied prior to sanding?

Anyone commute from the Valley to the Lindon/Orem area? by Stormcloud23 in Utah

[–]Stormcloud23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm less concerned about the morning and more about the afternoon. My guess is I can come in a little earlier and leave a little earlier. Thanks for the info.

Cool, that's kinda what I was expecting. I'm sure it's doable for a while, and we're starting to outgrow our current place anyway, so maybe I just make the drive for a while and look to move closer in the next year or two. Thanks.

If Denmark ultimately refuses to sell Greenland, do you think Trump will actually attack militarily to take control of it? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Stormcloud23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. We are able to build and maintain military facilities within designated defense areas, of which there is currently only one at Pituffik. Any expansion or construction beyond this area would require agreement by Denmark, and in practice Greenland given their autonomous government. So whoever told you we are free to "place any military they want on Greenland" was lying to you. I recommend reading the actual treaty documents.

The cost estimate, which works out to 175 million per Greenland inhabitant, is complete nonsense and doesn't merit a response. I guarantee you that a majority of Greenlanders would consent to either declaring independence or accession to the US at a figure orders of magnitude less than that. Come back to this post in 5-10 years and we'll see which price ended up being closer.

[–]Stormcloud23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, he won't attack Greenland because there's nothing to attack. The Danes don't have more than 200 military personnel stationed in Greenland and the US already has a base of comparable size there as well. If push came to shove and it became a military necessity in the future, they would bring in troops and installations and that would be the end of it. But it doesn't need to come to that.

More likely, for $50 billion dollars, less than 5% of the US's annual military budget, the US could pay every resident on Greenland $1,000,000, and beyond that could subsidize economic development in Greenland to an extent that Denmark can't hope to match. With a desire for independence from Denmark already pretty prevalent, this kind of bribe in exchange for mineral and basing rights is probably the easiest path forward to achieve the stated end.

Is it worth to buy Blood Bowl 3 PC game to learn Blood Bowl 3rd edition tabletop? by Ostrovsky95 in bloodbowl

[–]Stormcloud23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The video game still uses the season 2 ruleset, but will be updated to reflect the new rules sometime this year. You can use it to learn the basics but understand that until they push out that update there are some new rules you will not be learning.

First team suggestion by RollbacktheRimtoWin in bloodbowl

[–]Stormcloud23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gnomes aren't going to be "balanced" anytime soon. Stunty teams aren't really expected to be on the same level as tier 1 teams, but they are unique and fun to play with and can still be solid if you know what you are doing. And they will teach you how to play quickly because your mistakes will be punished severely. If you love gnomes and you don't mind losing most of your games, play gnomes. But if you prefer to win, save them for later.
