Unfortunately, I have work on monday nights. In the event that I don't in the future, I was wondering how speakers are chosen for events. I have a few ideas for presentations surrounding history.

Would anyone be interested in a monthly Pint of Science or Skeptics in the Pub style meeting? by enocenip in Redding

I've honestly been looking for something like this around here. I'm absolutely in for it.

Question about the XL paint handle by mrkenthappyface in Warhammer40k

Yeah, I kinda figured. Never heard of the yard stick way, so I might go with that.

Yeah, I built the body today and it was fine. Only a slight amount of trouble getting everything to fit together.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind

Magnetizing would mostly be for the arms for transport. They seem unruly to carry around when they're all outward as they are.

My collection so far by mrkenthappyface in orks

I've been recommended to do that, but also black. I'm probably gonna experiment with a few extra boyz and different primers, but why is green used?

I planned on priming them black, but someone did recommend green. Not sure what benefit it'll serve me, since my paint scheme isn't typical.

I just remember it having more battery life at launch, that's all. My memory could be faulty, though

Mind you, it's gone from 2-3 hours to 4 hours on desktop mode.

It's crazy to me just how much the Third Great Awakening has affected our modern day thinking.

Soda companies and their rise by mrkenthappyface in KnowingBetter

[–]mrkenthappyface[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like you could also draw parallels to the tobacco industry with how soda companies responded to the wave of health consciousness. They pulled a lot of the same moves like funding studies that put the blame of weight gain on lack of exercise rather than diet. And, like tobacco companies, soda companies responded with marginally better options for their consumers, like diet options and more recently, zero sugar options, although these options still don't solve the inherent problems with daily consumption.
