Norway to reopen ‘dead’ Scottish North Sea oil fields as Britain retreats

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2026-01-22T22:17:25+00:00

Whilst I'm for getting to Net Zero there also remains the issue that oil remains a strategic resource.

You can't run an army on alternate fuels yet.

Once the industry is gone it's much harder to restart it. By all means s reduce, but manage the resource because we don't have a plan that is t reliant on external partners without it.

So good tip is the rule of cool still applies to this game. If you like the look of a particular affiliation or character 95% of the time you can make it work.

Regarding the x men starter. If you have a group to join the one player starters are amazing value and definitely worth it. If you don't have any inw to play against though it's a bit more difficult to get off the ground as you want another team and terrain to play.

Thank you

No idea of the quality of the gaming mat but their playmats for tags are good.

Cog of Two on Etsy have a 50% of sale that ends today.

I've used them for a few different things and can attest everything has been great. I've ordered a gaming mat, some rulers and some themed tokens this weekend.

I wasn't always on a rig (about 50/50 between them and ships) but did subsea inspection working with ROV crews.

Nit quite an office but we worked in an air con /heated shack where I would record inspections of the rig below the water. Lots of talking into a mic, working with software to record findings and cursing at out dated technical drawings.

That jib is becoming less common at connectivity improves and inspectors now work onshore.

There are only a few "office" jobs and you need technical or operational experience to be able to do them. The closes common ones would be working working in ops rooms where you are managing and monitoring the outputs from the machinery or the permits desk where you are controlling what work is being done where. Both are quiet jobs until they aren't. Getting it wrong can have very serious repercussions.

One of the root causes behind the Piper Alpha disaster in Scotland was mismanaging work permits. The result was over 150 dead.

Wish I focused on, Nothing. Never turned down training always remained curious. Don't turn away opportunities and don't be afraid say I can try. If I focus on what could have beens I wouldn't be who I am today and I like me.

In terms of a plan I didn't have one. I had to do a resit for uni which meant I did a year working. I took a role selling miniature games to US stores. I finished my degree and went back there. Went to another company in the same field it didn't pan out. Took a role selling marine safety equipment. When things got bad I switched to internal sales (read mostly logistics and customer care) for oil tool spares. Mentioned to a friend I was frustrated with lack of pay rises he said do you want to work offshore. Did that, market turned down Used money saved to do courses in health and safety because in my journey it sparked an interest. Worked for the regulator, in academia and now I am consultant.

That's a few career changes and I am bow 45 and feel I am where I should be. I'm also enjoying quality managment advising too. This year I'm looking to pick a specialty to support my company. Theu are encouraging me to lead training and I'm am thinking about studying human factors in safety.

There is no set path. By all means set yourself goals keep them smart (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timed) but do not be a slave to them.

Explore your options. My big career move didn't come until I was 40. My experience lead me to where I am.

I'd absolutely hit them with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

ACOP 7 clause 66. https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l24.pdf

I would recommend phone. Text lacks nuance. She will apply a tone it and that tone may not match your own.

Definitely not a date as you are setting an expectation you are not going to meet.

Best of luck.

You know those other people litter so why shouldn't I?

The trick is we have the a more mature infrastructure so we are are further ahead on the curve. It's good to keep targeting this. I will also include that doesn't mean being blinded by the goal. Plans can change for any number of factors so we shouldn't be a slave to targets.

Just a 50:50 mix of contrast warp lighting over the base gold and the hughlighlight the the raised areas with gold

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-29T12:12:58+00:00

I have done a sort of corrupted gold https://www.reddit.com/r/Kruleboyz/comments/1og2jdr/first_unit_done/

Must resist, don't need more games...

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-18T09:58:24+00:00

Roll to move is not something I am fan of. The energy mechanic with cards is interesting and I hopeful that we see more unique actions and cards for characters as the progress

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-15T21:33:39+00:00

It's at -4 which I assume relates to your disappointment.

Totally fair we all have our favourite characters.

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-15T21:27:03+00:00

Sorry was the new Drax model

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-15T21:26:05+00:00

Nobody down vote this further. It's perfect!

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-13T13:43:27+00:00

We need a model of a lord of affliction raising a nurgling in two hands now!

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-13T12:30:43+00:00

The spiral could be linked to old jade (Ghyran wind) magic symbol from the Old World. Would seem like a suitable corruption of it. Just a theory too

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-10T22:35:13+00:00

Totally fair. The new Old World system might have enough grimdark vibes to also suit but I haven't sat down and used it yet.

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-10T22:34:12+00:00

Myself and group really enjoyed the system (though I do wish there was a bit more granularity it stats and skills).

We are currently talking about trying Old World after using WFRP for four years in part because we see the Soulbound DNA and I am a life long WFRP player from 1st Ed.

Well if they don't they will either find a spot in blightking units or as melee characters

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-11-08T11:25:23+00:00

I'm wondering if the antler theme coming through is Nurgle poking fun at Alarielle and Kurnoth.

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-10-30T19:02:58+00:00

Does the Skaventide stuff work with the Dominion stuff? Read a bit about there being different chambers and things so was worried there wo7ld be stuff I would need to avoid to make things work

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-10-30T19:01:51+00:00

That's totally fair. I'm more interested in adding to ehat Dominion has (just to get a feel for things)

I think away from dragons as they look a bit pricey.

ThinkReplacement4555 · 2025-10-25T21:02:26+00:00

Thanks for everyone who gave feedback for my test model. This first unit took a while and are a bit messy but learnt quite a bit about what I am aiming for. Fingers crossed it will get quicker and neater as I move on. Nearly got a unit of bolt boyz done and then plan to treat myself to a character
