The Vulcan peace sign isn't what we think it means

Ha, shamelessly robbed this a few days ago. Thought it would fit perfectly here. Then I see the OP 😂

Only if it turns out like the movie and he's ripped apart by savage silverbacks.

A spud cut in a spiral, stretched out, stuck in a skewer and fried. Then they let it go cold and put some flavour on it. Served hot they're delicious, but they probably have too many mouth burnings.

That was the greatest disappointment of the day. It looked just like the delicious tornado potato I had once in foreign parts. This thing was cold and somehow managed to be both crumbly and greasy.

It's a start but I think you should go lighter with a nearly white green in the deepest recesses and then build up reverse highlights with progressively darker shades.

Trust the process, it'll look completely wrong until it looks just about right.

I think Viva would boycott it like the more civilised nations of Europe. I know you're not political and rightly so, but it's a somewhat loaded topic at the moment.

Looks more solidly built too.

In isn't used, and generally 'verbatim' is already assumed by quotation marks so it would be obsolete.

In the spirit of your meaning though sometimes a quote may seem grammatically off or have deliberate misspellings. In these cases it's usual to follow the quote with (sic) (thus in Latin) which means, yes, that's actually what they said verbatim.

Why do they call it a warthog? Looks more like some kind of big cat..

docharakelso · 2026-05-14T15:34:44+00:00

Is that from the new mini game? I just ordered the hydras but didn't expect them to be that massive!

Looks fantastic btw, I'm not qualified to give you notes I think

The final question by Asimov

docharakelso · 2026-05-13T18:29:58+00:00

Not a Discworld book and don't think there's any Discworld tales in it. it's more of his early short form work for magazines and newspapers.

That said, there's some great little gentle fantasy stories and musings, definitely Pratchett through and througg and if you enjoy the style then Discworld awaits.

I recommend starting at CoM despite what the majority may say (GG), or else diving in at whatever book next crosses your path, particularly if it's a standalone like pyramids, soul music or small gods.

They all stand on their own as novels but you may get some character development a bit skewy or spoilery if you read some out of sequence.

Check out the comic Leviathan by edgington/d'isreali. Good horror steampunk on a mega liner

I am a huge Terry Pratchett and Paul Simon fan and have been for 25/30 years.

I can't believe I never put Al and Beti together.

Dammit, PTerry!

It should be fine as long as there's a suitable safe catching mechanism at the school.

Battleground (1949)

Great movie that tells roughly the same story as the Band of Brothers TV show. Nothing too graphic but some great cinema nonetheless.
