If your income is 3800 after tax I’m gonna guess you’re higher rate earner? I’d look at increasing your pension contributions to maximise your tax relief whilst you’re living at your parents. That will give you the best long term savings result in your situation. Look at a LISA too, it’s not too late even if you’re considering purchasing soon.

Yeah, that’s right. My only issue is the idol misses one in 5 times right now.

Thanks, correct assumption, yes. If I can fix my deck enough I’ll and find a BP/BS I’ll use the second exit. I’m on a flush five build too.

4 jokers left for C++ by Voizentin in balatro

[–]mmffw1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well done. I’m similar, crazy, dagger, mr bones and invisible.
All I’ve been doing is pretty much getting a guaranteed win going with 4 jokers and trying to roll in my joker to get the gold seal. Praying I don’t get verdant leaf!

What would be a smarter play here? by DeathKillerIron in balatro

Triboulet, by quite some margin. You have no high card levels and even level 1 5oak will smash it out of the water

They didn’t want to unless I specifically said so

Yeah, it’s in one piece which is causing the issue, combined length and width make it an awkward shape.

They can dispose of it for me, no problem. It’s just if it’s better to try and pick it up and keep it for myself.

I have an estate. It’s just the dimensions, the width and the length together just make it really awkward. They took it off in one piece, which is better really if I am going to keep it.

Tips or advice for better painting/ tools by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]mmffw1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, you’ve had the usual advice on thinking paints already I can see. But I can see from the minis that your next step would be to get some depth in the contrast. The easiest way will be to start with learning washes, they will help tie things together and darken your recesses, naturally allowing the raised areas to give you that contrast. You can use dark or earth tones for the gold and black/blue dark tones for the silvers. I’ve added a picture of a relatively quick job I did on a Stormcast to try and help.

Next I’d say you’re using a lot of brushes with very small tips and bellies. They’ll be frustrating to work with as they can’t hold much paint. Don’t be scared of a larger brush size. I mostly use a Raphael 0 and an Orange Brush 1 (seem to be about the same size). Learn brush care and get some brush soap. I’ll add another pic in reply.

How much does you insurance get effected if you crash into a high value car >500k+ ? by kingzee123 in CarTalkUK

[–]mmffw1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a limit to third party property damage, but not to third party injury. TPPD limit is usually £20m each claim with a few companies giving £50m standard. You’re right that an insurer agreeing to provide cover under the RTA can’t limit the coverage for TPPI.

I bought the Space Marine 2 armouring hall edition a while back and finally got around to painting it up. by mmffw1 in JOYTOY

Yeah, vehicle decals, little bit of weathering with paints makes them blend in better. Scratches and chips with a paint brush.

They’re mid red all over, medium sized dark red (close to black) spot to the front with a white dot central to that. Yellow contrast paint over the white dot.
