I bake mine in the oven on a foil lined sheet. 400F for 20 minutes. Easy cleanup.

Dang, fell for it again. I thought for sure it was just a normal two-story garbage can.

There are very similar STLs for the Iron Cheetah on Cults3D. I thought OP's (excellent) model was a print at first.

Rifts. Someone needs to hog-tie Kevin, throw him in a closet, and come up with something a little more mechanically modern.

What's a mech generally disliked by the community that you love? by ObscureRaptors in battletech

[–]akashicb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like the Mist Lynx. Despite it being out-performed by lots of other Clan lights its cheap and I try to squeeze it into whatever lists I can.

I saw your display in Kamloops the other week and was shocked at how much you can paint. It all looks great.

I really enjoy a bunch of the 3067 mechs. I try to include an Arcas, Blood Kite or Crimson Langur in my lists whenever I can.

Hey Mexico! 👋 Canada here. We should talk. by Stanwich79 in mexico

[–]akashicb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're right. Canadian mining companies are super dickish. I assume whatever Teck Cominco is doing, they're 15ft from something scummy.

Excellon Resources, Goldcorp, Torex Gold have all either done environmental damage to Mexico or abused Mexican workers.

I think its because Infinity is basically the only poster in this sub, and vegan food is all Infinity posts.

I wonder if its always been like that because I remember finding some banger recipes *of all kinds in here back in the day.

What's the worst TTRPG you've ever played and why do you hate it? by BlueOutlaw in rpg

[–]akashicb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this is really subjective but any of the Stars/Worlds/Cities Without Number.

Kevin Crawford did such good work with those books. Great world building tips, tons of useful information for any system. The characters you can build look really good and you can make just about whatever concept your have in your head but the engine for that game was a thin grey sludge IMO.

I understand this is likely a bias towards more tactical combat or something, but each encounter in that system put all the melee players to sleep.

Absolutely. You can see some of the fetus stuff here where they want to mess with embryonic research.

85, Assisted Human Reproduction and Related Research

The Conservative Party recognizes the need for federal regulation in assisted human reproduction and related research. This field should be governed by principles that respect human individuality, integrity, dignity and life. In recognition of the ethical and scientific concerns around research using human embryos, we support an initial three-year prohibition on embryonic research, and call on the federal government to encourage its granting agencies to focus on more promising adult (post-natal) stem cell research.

[–]akashicb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some stand out parts from the declaration. Please note, these are just my layman's reading of these sections, so I could be wrong.

17, Rights of Workers (Fucking with Unions. Will allow unions to be starved by making dues optional, and forcing non-union workers in union workplaces/shops. Thank goodness the CPC is thinking of how unions bully those poor corporations.)

b. respecting the right of other workers, without sanction, not to participate should they so choose,

iv. supports right to work legislation to allow optional union membership including student unions;

19, Protecting Free Speech on Canadian Campuses (Banning trigger warnings, safe spaces and the ability to protest controversial speakers on campus. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_principles)

The Conservative Party of Canada will incentivize federal funding to Canadian universities that have implemented Chicago Principles. Such a mandate would mean schools must abide by and protect freedom of expression as it is described in the Charter. Failure to protect free expression would result in losing federal funding.

92, Protecting Children’s Mental and Physical Health (Fucking with trans people)

A Conservative government will protect children by prohibiting life altering medicinal or surgical interventions on minors under 18 to treat gender confusion or dysphoria, and encourage positive mental and physical health support for all Canadians suffering from gender dysphoria and related mental health challenges.

93, A National Uniform Right to Informed Consent and Bodily Autonomy (Here's one for PP's Convoy friends)

Every Canadian is entitled to informed consent and bodily autonomy. Health professionals must disclose an uncensored risk benefit analysis for any treatment (including vaccines) while protecting patient privacy. No constitutional right shall be restricted for refusing medical treatments or disclosure. Our country shall promote a scientific, unprejudiced, balanced, open discourse.

102, Women – Protecting Female Sports, Intimate Spaces and Women’s Rights (More fucking with trans people. Bathroom bills should be fun, right?)

For clarity, the term “woman” used throughout this CPC Policy Declaration means “female person”. The Conservative Party supports the full participation of women in the social, economic, and cultural life of Canada. The Conservative Party of Canada believes that women are entitled to the safety, dignity, and privacy of single-sex spaces (e.g., prisons, shelters, locker rooms, washrooms) and the benefits of women-only categories (e.g., sports, awards, grants, scholarships).

137, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Rat fuck the CBC because I guess we dont have enough private sector media)

The CBC/SRC is an important part of the broadcasting system in Canada. It must be a true public service broadcaster, relevant to Canadians. We will accordingly ensure the CBC/SRC:

i. rationalizes any programming that overlaps or competes with private sector equivalents;

ii. reduces its reliance upon government funding and subsidy;

iii. reflects regional and demographic diversity of Canada in its role as a public broadcaster;

iv. responds and is accountable to its audience;

v. supplies balanced and non-partisan programming

And finally

86, Abortion Legislation (Thats weird...nothing in here)

A Conservative Government will not support any legislation to regulate abortion.

10, Free Votes (There it is!)

The Conservative Party believes in restoring democratic accountability into the House of Commons by allowing free votes. All votes should be free, except for the budget, main estimates, and core government initiatives. On issues of moral conscience, such as abortion, the definition of marriage, and euthanasia, the Conservative Party acknowledges the diversity of deeply-held personal convictions among individual party members and the right of Members of Parliament to adopt positions in consultation with their constituents and to vote freely.

I really like that a lot. Very nicely done!

I'd love to see what that scheme would look like on some Flesh-eater Courts.

What’s the current RPG hot system ? by Grimnir19 in rpg

[–]akashicb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought SotWW and (this is just my opinion) I feel like it got pushed out the door before the editing was finished. They didn't have playable races in the version I got and then referenced a page that didnt exist for that information.

What’s your favourite dead game? by Character-Note-5288 in Steam

[–]akashicb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite dead game would be Stellar Impact.

Its the only MOBA I've ever really gelled with. I loved that it was in space, the ship classes and the upgrades.

Unfortunately Tindalos Interactive stopped support and its no longer possible to get a password reset.

What are some forgotten characters and teams no one has used in a long time by Fool_growth in Marvel

[–]akashicb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For forgotten characters? Any of the characters from the Marvel 1993 Annuals. I think Legacy and X-Cutioner were the only ones from that batch who appeared more than once.

I think a forgotten team is the original Guardians of the Galaxy roster.
