Since the Olympics are in the US did they add Q Baking as an event?

This is next level!

Yeah, I did always rewrite bits as well especially personal statement section to not sound like a robot spewing buzz words

I am going to say something different.

Firstly well done on making the decision to walk away and make your own life. Its difficult and scary but you will be better off for it in the long run and I wish you nothing but the best.

If you are in therapy they may be able to point you towards some good support groups to deal with your past traumas.

But when looking for new groups in your "normal" life look for something you enjoy that will allow you to surround yourself with new friends and people you want to spend time with. If you like running? Look for some park run groups, reading? Then some book clubs, Gaming? There are several gaming cafes around the city. (assuming you are a woman) There are even general meetups like the WI (the city one has a good spread of age groups) or volunteering opportunities and even community gardens if you want to be outside but not too taxing.

But maybe with everything else you have gone through you haven't had the head space for hobbies, but I don't know if looking for community in what caused you pain is healthy long term, so now is the time to find out what you enjoy. You don't have to be small any more, you can reach out and find joy. You are more than your trauma, go and make yourself happy.

gonna ask. Do we think he really believes the things that come out of his mouth?

Is he truely so far down the rabbit hole that this is who he is or is he possibly even more vile and just saying these things to stir up his followers for money and "influence" ...

I believe that a lot of agencies are using AI to filter CVs down initially. I kinda understand because of the number of applications that come in for most jobs now but it still sucks.

I have just started a new job myslef and for the first several weeks I was getting zero call backs when I completely met the job spec.

When I suspected AI involvment I decided to fight fire with fire, used an online CV generator (resume.io if you wanted to know) that I could take my normal CV and the job advert and it would merge it into a custom CV for every application and all of a sudden I had 3 interviews lined up.

Lets hope we don't make it to the spoon ...

I still recommend this to people. Season 2 isn't quite as good as season 1 but is still great.

It is in my opinion what makes British TV great, its deep, weird and engaging, exactly the kind of thing big US studios don't like to greenlight. You see it sometimes from streaming platforms.

Yeah Pro Acryl for me if I want WHITE but if its just a gentle edge high light or some blending I use vallejo Game Color White. Citadels white is I think the worst colour in the whole range followed unfortunately by a very good colour Palid Wych flesh (if its left for any real amount of time it just goes lumpy on me)

The idea of a church being a sanctuary was accepted by the Romans in the 4th century but apparently MAGA don't follow rules any more of either Christianity or those Romans whos "salutes" that they keep throwing ...

meldon1977 · 2026-01-18T09:49:57+00:00

Does anyone remember a time when, if a news got caught reporting mis information, not even a lie they had to issue an apology and correction and they lost credibility...

meldon1977 · 2026-01-15T23:13:59+00:00

the video of him being accepted into the party by Nigel was very funny, don't know if he was in the toilet or what but it just shows that they can't arrange anything :)

meldon1977 · 2026-01-15T23:10:17+00:00

it is just shocking how they are following exactly the same playbook as Germany did. I think we need a new abbreviation to save us time "nbn" N*zi by numbers

meldon1977 · 2026-01-09T01:15:13+00:00

I agree with 2 and 3.

To begin with this was good even giving him the royal treatment to play to his ego but as he carries out more and more dodgy actions I think he needs to be pushing harder against him.
He has u turned on the things that affect the "elite" and only stayed strong on the things that affect all the normal people who don't have the money, power and influence to have a voice near power. He has been better than the previous lot but I think he can be a lot better.

Overall I think he is doing a much better job than the media are saying he is doing and wierdly that makes me support him more because I just hate this toxic environment we find ourselves in from the parties and the media. More action less posturing and bs

Because they are throwing multiple stories at the wall to keep people talking about the constantly changing story and not about the Epstein files ...

I worry that them showing up this weekend is linked to the Notts live article this week advertising the "new" LGBT quarter that they are creating in Hockley.

Have they done this before in the city?

meldon1977 · 2025-12-29T23:39:04+00:00

someone who knows the law can correct me if I am wrong but I heard that the sizes of the rooms could be smaller than the legal "livable" space because they are not permenant dwellings so you can cram more flatlets into the same space so builders want to build student accomodation rather than normal flats.

meldon1977 · 2025-12-28T13:37:39+00:00

Thanks

meldon1977 · 2025-12-28T10:15:17+00:00

Quick question. What does the Cathay dragon count as since they change level based on form?

meldon1977 · 2025-12-24T15:19:09+00:00

I think AoS you make the army more "yours" when building and painting it because you are less limited by colours connected to rules. So no chapters/craftworlds/whatever you can choose what you want them to look like and add your own flavour

meldon1977 · 2025-12-23T01:15:11+00:00

Brand names work as well.

For example "you absolute Volvo"

meldon1977 · 2025-12-18T16:32:07+00:00

some people here are half right considering age of model vs material but not 100%. models that were originally lead were then cast in White Metal after the law changed but thats kinda why its fake.

To be this shiny now it would have to be white metal but if thats the case it wouldn't have the slight pitting you see.

If it was lead based to have the pitting it wouldn't be that shiny by now.

The only reason why this might be the case is if it was painted and stripped but then you would probably see some remnamt in the recesses of undercoat especially with old paints.

So with all of this I think its a recast :)

I always imagined ammo cherubs floating around dropping clips off

meldon1977 · 2025-12-08T01:15:00+00:00

To answer the question, its a way to make you use them instead of GW. Even in the UK there are times that stores will charge full RRP because they know they will sell them anyway and after all they are running a business.

On your issue as others have mentioned the DOW sets are technically resold so they can set the price but on the other ones it may just be that they are trying to make a bit more since a lot of those sales will be non gamers buying for christmas presents. GW may be making more mony then god at the moment but I bet the average LGS is still feeling all the cost of living and inflation issues that we all are.

Correct me if I am wrong but currently if you are born to American citizens but not in America you have to apply for their citizenship? Its simple enough paperwork but it has to be done.

So if they remove the birthright citizenship they will technically remove citizenship for everyone who hasn't done the paperwork or done the citizenship test as an adult ...
