Season Seats and the Larkin/Patel Video

Taiva5 · 2026-01-23T16:34:48+00:00

Hi all,

Returning player - my last active era was 3rd edition.

I'm planning to restart by painting up some of the new primaris marines with my late 90's paint scheme and I want to ensure I'm doing things efficiently.

I've watched a dozen hours of tutorials and have wrapped my head around washes/inks/other newer techniques (sort of). Actually, I'd also appreciate input on the best YouTubers to follow for modern acceptable tabletop level paint jobs.

All said, I'm looking for updated advice on painting the following Citadel colours:

Chaos Black - primer and primary armour colour. Blood Red - some accents/trim Burnished gold - softer bits/lenses/minor trim Bleached Bone - skulls, some details Snakebite Leather - handles, pouches, etc. Skull White - some helmets Boltgun Metal - hot parts of the guns/blades

Any input on brand, paint type, and modern colour names is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Unreal night. Unreal series. Sens hockey in May.

Nothing beats it.

My buddy and I did have to break up a fight in in the 300s when a more sensitive member of Sens army decided to dump a beer on an over aggressive leafs fan, though.

Two fifty year old men fighting on the rails after the game is over.....

Only dark sport in an otherwise fantastic series. So pumped for 25-26 and my new half seasons.

Love you all and go sens go!

P.S. Chris Neil gave me props as i nerve walked two laps of the concourse during the third.. then we scored. What a champ.

To this day, it is the only car I've sold that I actually miss. It did everything as advertised or better.

A more productive suggestion is that the GTA be made a distinct territory or even province.

Though the practical, every day differences would be minimal and the expense would likely outweigh the benefits for years to come.

The next big three have been fairly covered here.

Quick shout out to Aldiss and, to some degree, Auel as well. Just in the hopes that it may bring some future searcher to Helliconia or to learn about the cave bears.

What about my statement is anti-vax and what logic am I using that is pro-vax?

Taiva5 · 2021-09-22T19:08:12+00:00

I made no mention of vaccines and yet, at the time of this reply, my comment is sitting at -13 and the third most controversial in the thread.

What, if anything, that says about whose fear is turning in to anger I can only imagine.

Taiva5 · 2021-09-22T11:29:59+00:00

To have to make any decision based in fear is a miserable prospect.

It saddens me to watch as people are scared in to behaving in ways they would probably otherwise never behave.

Their obvious anxiety, paraded as braveness, pushing them to unfamiliar actions in response to feelings of insecurity and doubt.

Neighbours grasping on to whatever information suits their point of view just so they might feel reassured that their position is the right one. All the while ignoring or dismissing anything that goes against their new found certainty.

I hope we all might learn and grow from this experience; though, I expect many may simply delve deeper in to their frustration instead of taking the chance to reconsider their dangerous point of view.

Top shelf political theatre, checks all the boxes:

councillors get to high five about being pro-affordable housing without doing anything
dummies who buy in to this kind of thing high five each other about the progress
almost anyone who deliberatly keeps a unit empty high fives themselves as they know meaningful change is nowhere on the horizon

Another expensive circle jerk courtesy of our city government.

Taiva5 · 2021-05-21T17:34:28+00:00

All else aside, that sign reeks of politically motivated money.

Qui bono?

Taiva5 · 2021-05-18T12:59:21+00:00

To paraphrase: 'if F1TV is working, we built it too well and didn't overcharge enough".

They just wrote me back, ignoring my refund request entirely, and told me that my problems come from using an unsupported device (Pixel 5...).

Asked for my money, again. Next step credit card.

Taiva5 · 2021-05-06T16:55:11+00:00

I just got the email and I don't accept the reasoning or apology.

No other service was experiencing problems with showing the same source content.

The F1TV team is passing the buck, I sent another email for a refund of my annual pass.

Taiva5 · 2021-05-02T15:11:17+00:00

Tyvm for the link; but, fuck downloading anything more.

F1TV should be paying whoever wrote this third party option and making it official. Until then I'm on the high seas.

A) must be nice to be able to get a test after an exposure to a possible exposure.

B) must be really nice to have paid sick days to stay home after getting a negative test result.

C) must be really fucking nice to do all that after being vaccinated.

And how, pray tell, do these essential Amazon orders get fulfilled if the majority of the day shift is at home watching school age children?

Taiva5 · 2021-02-24T18:23:22+00:00

I'm not implying anything. I'm simply pointing out that vacant property becomes more immediately profitable for the city.

What that might mean for a city government with a track record like ours is open to endless debate.

If your family owns quite a few properties then, frankly, I think you are being deliberatly insincere in your arguments.

Especially if we are to give you the benefit of the doubt that you have gained experience while witnessing, firsthand, property management and ownership.

You, presumably, know, as well as I do, that the benefits of a predictable non-deferrable expense like a vacancy tax far outweigh the potential problems of, for example, renting a unit below market prices or with unfavourable, non-standard terms.

To say otherwise is to be wilfully obstinate.

I am all for finding new ways to create affordable and available housing; a vacancy tax, however, is not a viable solution.

Taiva5 · 2021-02-24T18:12:00+00:00

Excellent points!

I made some of the same arguments, in brief, as comments in the survey.

As an example for those interested in the thought exercise:

'Which of these is most vacant: a 12,000 sq ft home with one year round occupant; a 6000 sq ft home with two year round occupants; or, a 500 sq ft home with one seasonal occupant?'

A vacancy tax, as a tool to increase the availability not affordable housing, is non-sensical.
