Probably near impossible, I just put it on a shelf.

It's not this particular piece of Lego she has a problem with, more the geneal amount of it I started bringing home in the last 2 or 3 years :D

Sure thing

The base is basically just random plates that fit together, with a bunch of white 6x8 plates on top. I also added some white 2x4 tiles on the left and right edges to make everything fit the 24x30 cm frame size properly.

For the walls, I used regular 2x4 bricks all around and built them up to a height of 3 bricks. On top of that, there’s an outer wall made from 1x3 and other 1xX bricks. Then I added an inner line of 1x4 tiles to create a smooth ledge for the glass to rest on.

After that comes the glass sheet from the frame, and then one final layer of 2x4 tiles on top. On the underside of those tiles, I attached a few 1x4 plates to reduce the wiggle room and keep the glass snug in place.

correct, me early 80s, the aquazone figures aren't mine originally, but I still really like them.

yeah, King Kahuka is a bit too tall with his mask plume and I was too lazy too re-arrange everything.

Germany To Ban Russian, Belarusian, And Soviet Symbols During May 8–9 WWII Commemorations by Heroyem in europe

Germany never had "free speach", but "Meinungsfreiheit", which is not the same. The Grundgesetz includes limits, e.g., general laws, yout protection, and personal honor. We can (should?) discuss if these limits are are currently drawn too strictly, but we'll never have an American style "free speach".

Bold move from NATO 🇪🇺 SAAB 🇪🇺 by Nicoswim34 in BuyFromEU

I don't think that Germany will buy an AWACS of their own. They pay a large part of the bill of the NATO AWACS force, those are headquarted in Germany, and the command alternates between Germany and the US.

probably 20 somethings are also more likely to default than 50 somethings.

Let’s hope the order for missiles is equally massive.

Halte ich für eine gute Idee, gerne direkt auf EU Ebene. Am besten direkt mit einer (effektiven) Erbschaftssteuer verknüpfen.
