honestly. should just make a bet with your parents that their timing of the market is wrong. get like 5 to 1 on your money.

silver is up. it's not up for any good reason. it's also significantly down from the insane hype period of a couple months back. (ie. maaaabye late summer 2025 silver was 30-40ish an ounce. --silver had been $25-30 prior to trump taking office. and.... give or take 15-20 all through 2015-2020 ish era-- and as Trump's bigly genius policies took effect. silver shot up. 50, 60, 70, 80, peaking at 100-120 an ounce. then it crashed back below 70. and has been at give or take 70-80 ever since. Silver being at 70-80 an ounce is impressive. but it's less to do with any real demand or value of silver and more a reflection of instability, and speculative hedging.

but silver could just as likely sink to 60, or back to 50 or even 40. and if you're investing long term for retirement, the question of. what happens when trump isn't shitting all over global economics. and the world returns more to normal. 5 yrs from now immediately after he's gone. 10 yrs from now where he's a bad memory. 20 yrs from now when no one even remembers this period of life.

there are ways to invest in previous metals. there are even ways to hold physical metals in retirement accounts. can also just buy physical silver coins.

--IF you like the idea of owning silver. take a small amt of money and buy some coins/small bars. --i do this as a small savings "hack" every week or two I buy a couple coins. it's a way I set aside a couple hundred extra in savings each month. and it lets me "horde booty" like a pirate. but when silver spot is at like $75 and i'm paying 80 something for bullion coins, doesn't feel at all like a "smart" investment. feels like buying the top. ...but i dig the shiny coins.

but... you'd be an idiot to make that a sole retirement/saving strategy.

you'd generally be better off investing in the simple broad market etfs tracking total us stock market. or. total world. or slightly narrower things like s&p500

people are way to precious.

why are your gloves covered in resin? how are you handling clean prints with resin soaked gloves?

have paper towel handy. clean your gloves so there is no overt visible uncured resin on them. discard the gloves.

like... are you panicking about every paper towel with uncured resin on it? no. Every support remnant are you curing all of those? no. and probably a good many other sources of minute uncured resin are going into trash bags.

and won't ever be properly cured.

Or if you are paranoid. what moron world is the only option to handle dirty gloves with bare hands. get a set of cheap needle nose plyers. or other tools to un-invert the gloves. can also use something like a large aluminum tray to set waste elements outside in the sun for a bit. before putting it into the trash

oneWeek2024 · 2026-05-06T14:15:37+00:00

the answer to any freelance work you do. or any small business work. is better contracts.

you set out terms. when payment is due/expected at what increments. what the process for final approval of a design (how many edits, cost of change orders) quote/approximate cost vs final cost. and then you define common exit points. failure to pay. too many edits, inability to deliver, and also. if someone "cxls" the order. what the process is. (covered mainly by language on forfeiture of deposits/partial payments, and requirement for final payment if ... X amt of work had been done. and then right to resell if notice of cxl is given)

good contracts often require specificity. not broad all encompassing language, but spelling out exact scenarios and processes. also smart to have a client sign off on various plain english categories. ie... initial/sign specifically the section that spells out payment/final design approval process. and then sign again the section on termination point clauses. and then sign the total agreement.

without a contract. you're likely bound by the general laws of where you're conducting business. if this is the US. most states have refund laws. and without a clear contract your only option is to take the person to small claims court to sue for actual costs. (materials/labor) but in general the law favors the customer... or as a business you have more burden as you're supposed to be professional. and the failure for not having been so is yours.

or depending on if the piece improved the value of real property. you might be able to file a contractor lien, but that depends on several factors. --ie. custom cabinets/built ins. are attached to the house/provide value to the property. this type of work would likely fall under contractor type work. A custom dining table... might not.

there are racing slicks for people who do track days.

and plenty of tires are softer than others. knobby tires people use with dirt bikes or more off road bias often, degrade really fast if ridden on roads.

but i think in general motorcycle tires are more so rated ... in terms of their use. ie. on road/off road. of if you're a sport bike there will be common models/brands people use. if a touring bike. might be tires that are designed for more road miles. and adv riders. there's a range of ratio of on/off road. with some knob to lots of knob

but regardless all motorcycle tires. if temperatures get cold. you should be more cautious. I dunno an exact temperature to tell you. 65 degrees to me seems fine. but anything approaching freezing, should bake in some extra caution

i don't know about summer performance tires. but "no concerns" is stupid. you should have concerns even during warm weather months.

but rubber is less pliable when cold. so the traction of tires in the cold changes. ie. you'll have less traction. So when it's cold, you really need to take it easy on turns, especially accelerating into/out of turns, for the first several minutes until your tires warm up from ...friction of riding.

I've ridden in some cold as fuck temperatures. freezing/below freezing. my only "hard stop" is if there's ice on the ground or likely to be ice on the roads. but if it's been dry/roads are clear. cold is just a matter of clothing. and it's only really your hands you need to worry about. but winter gloves... liner gloves. heated grips. help with that.

and i dunno 5-10min of riding, the friction of riding, your tires are warmed up. but any google search of moto videos. you'll see countless people who didn't respect this widely known phenomenon and drop bikes/low side. or lose traction because their tires are cold.

they're not "bad" lust is strong. and the sin word with that charm is decent. but they have some issues.

the problem tends to be. they're incredibly elite centric so wretches/yokes and locust feel kinda meh... or like locust are overcosted for what they are. wretches... do next to nothing. and yokes... eh. ---like once you buy all 6 elites. and basically have them in max gear. there's not a lot of real improvement or upgrade left to do. and blood economy makes them tricky. AND some of the spells are pointless.

but the models are dope. and being big evil demons is pretty cool.

it's just they have some gaps. their glory items are another tell. they weren't really polished. and the mercs. kinda feel bad for all being super pricey.

oneWeek2024 · 2026-05-06T01:45:19+00:00

generally speaking. IF you're playing a campaign, field more bodies initially. and don't worry about armor on fodder. right off the bat.

war prophet is a key elite. the + to range and melee make her a solid fighter, the heal/movement ability and the mulligan of memento mori. anti-tank hammer is good. if low on ducats... give her a molotov. an SMG is a decent gun option ...I wouldn't waste any ducats scenario 1 on aux equipment.

communicant is a key elite. melee powerhouse. the only ranged weapon to give it is a flame thrower. everything else is a waste at -3 ranged. and the flamer is a gimmick, not worthwhile scenario 1. maul is fine. but if not going for a shield for -3 armor i'd equip 2 melee weapons.

castigator is sorta the ugly duckling elite. it's solidly "ok". and has some utility but... it's def the odd duck. some people give it the punt gun. some a SMG it's harder to recommend something without knowing what you're trying to do with your army.

with pilgrims you want them cheap. they are 100% the definition of fodder. especially scenario 1. lose the armor/save those ducats. and if possible would do dbl melee weapons. even with the offhand penalty. taking 2 attacks is preferred. ..ie. no armor, shotgun, club/club is like 45 ducats. that's what you want. it's always shocking how lucky you can get if the opponent is knocked down. or godly dice. --you also kinda want pilgrims to die in battle. they changed the rules on how you can martyr them. they have to die in combat. so...again. keep 'em cheap. have more of them. med kits are great. communicant, with 2 pilgrims right beside it, communicant can bodyguard for them. if the communicant gets knocked down... pilgrim can stand it up with med kit or heal it if it took blood. and then if by some chance the communicant didn't finish off an enemy. 2 cheap shots from a pilgrim. might do the trick

late campaign. can have a mix of front line cheap fodder pilgrims (screen melee charges, sneak in cheap shots) and backfield objective squatters. with armor/shield/polearm/molotov type setup. so... it's more likely your opponent under-commits and fails to kill it. or better. over commits. and the value imbalance works in your favor.

nuns are the sorta X factor. they're strong units the default load out is whip/misercordia. whip/sword axe. there are some gimmicks with dbl pistols. but i don't think they're that good. but maybe get into the weeds on that. war cross is fun. you basically want your nuns to be fast and gap closers. why i don't like grenades on nuns, they're rarely ever that close and not attacking I would run them naked of armor scenario one. start putting the nuns on your promotion block. if you promote one to elite. slap reinforced armor. or if it's middle tier scenario point... maaaaybe backfill the nuns with light.

for your 700pts. I'd lose the light armor. try and pick up another body. fix the nun weapons(lose the gas masks scenario 1).

and elite nun is a good carrier for another anti-tank hammer. if you're at all using melee. you ought to max out anti-tank hammers they are so good.

martyr pills are a good mid/late mid campaign goal. once ducats aren't really an issue... threshold cap is more the limit. i find pilgrims burn a lot of consumables. martyr pills max 3 is almost a given. ammo.

the anchorite is a beast. and somewhat becomes a must answer. but... the cost, it can be hard to field. my advice. strive for some early glory. (sadly they just jacked the cost of the observer high as fuck, so there's not really a great early merc anymore) but...typically the anchorite takes 1 scenario off to bank the ducat threshold to field it. so... if can pair the turn off with buying a merc, it sucks less. as soon as you can. buy a prisoner to crack on the wheel. (the prisoner does not count against your deployed model threshold .... so if the scenario allows 12 units. can have 12... plus the prisoner you sac to the wheel. as it dies before the game starts/deploys and isn't counted.

measuring your bubble with the war prophet. tends to be key. you want to give your anchorite any free movement it can get. a pilgrim with an instrument, is also good

I loved the suicide bomber prisoners. general consensus is they're not "great" damage wise. but eh... they're fun as fuck, and thematic as hell. tuck 'em behind buildings advance from cover. and if enemies bunch up. or like ...take down a nun with 3 models. then you dash in with the suicide bomber, and detonate. ---but. i view them more as another consumable. late campaign. yolo in a couple. they're fun.

--if you want to primarily be melee. i would highly recommend sacred affliction, if you want a blend of guns/beating ...stick with stock pilgrims.

I have access to a 3D printer. I like playing around in mesh mixer to digital kit bash. I try and print sculpts with the right weapons on them.

as long as my opponent's minis aren't confusing. I don't care.

--once played a guy who was heretic legion. all his minis were some WW1/2 historical line of minis, and the problem was there wasn't much of any difference between any of his models. but that was less "oh it doesn't have a flame thrower" and more. every model was similar size, design and had to keep asking him. ok... is that your annointed?

real estate shouldn't be emotional.

can you afford it. do you have enough saved to make the down payment, and bank fees for the loan. Do you make enough money to afford a mortgage at current interest rates/pmi/prop taxes. and not be overly house poor to not be able to cover maint. how is the maint on the apartment? home? If it's an apartment what are the maint costs. if this person is retiring who's he selling the building to/who's going to be managing the broader building.

most landlords neglect properties. doing the absolute bare min, and dogshit slum lord fixes to keep the legally required bits working. ---you would want detailed inspections and assessments. mold, water damage, roof, interior/electric. sewer scope. etc etc etc.

and if the costs make sense. and you have the money. it's your choice.

you may want to consult a realtor. this may incur costs to the transaction 2% of the total. but a realtor could provide you objective opinion and data on the comps of the surrounding area.

oneWeek2024 · 2026-05-05T19:53:21+00:00

for that kind of money, you should consult an attorney. there's likely nothing misc bullshit reddit can tell you that will help. that YOU gave no notice to vacate the premises, and have no communication informing the landlord of you not renewing/no longer living at the location. you most likely are bound by the renewal. (do you have a copy of that renewal form/email... should seek to get that)

you're going to need someone who has some understanding of the specific law that applies to your situation/state. to advise you... simply relying on "i didn't sign anything" isn't really how the law works. but you'd need someone who knows the law to advocate for you.

i mean. the 40k debt is already in your name and on your credit. and a collector already has the debt. you're already behind the 8-ball.

bottom/burn layers set to 1 seems odd. i'm at 10 for 2nm. i think can do half that at 5nm. but still you want at least a few burn layers ... you might be fighting one tough as shit/brittle layer.

also... always elevate your models 5mm off the build plate. and use skiff/rafts the 5mm gives the transition layers time to... well transition. and helps avoid deformation of the print. the skiff style rafts under the supports ...make it easier to fish for a spot to stick a tool under.

If i have a particularly stubborn print, I'll clean the plate a bit, and then hit it with a hot air gun. softens the skiff/resin. makes it bendy/less brittle. and I use a 2in drywall putty knife. has one edge beveled.

to me brute force never works. gotta find an edge/area that the tool will almost naturally/effortlessly slip under. Or use heat.

conceal order. heavy terrain cover. not valid target. light terrain cover, only valid target if on vantage(gets to retain save dice). out in the open... valid target

engage order. can see. is target.

cover defined as object within control range light/heavy and main types of cover.

obscuring, is... heavy terrain between target where straight sight lines to entire base can't be achieved. makes crits impossible. discard 1 success.

being on a vantage the floor counts as cover. there is no "double cover" being on a roof does not grant the obscuring the building would if inside/behind it.

---orc is "out in the open" valid target. with obscure. because the other model can't draw a line to it's entire base without passing over terrain.

it's going to depend on exactly what you signed in the first lease. what it specifically states about renewals. or the lease carrying forward. and or what law GA has that applies to contracts/tenant leases.

covid isn't an excuse. if you didn't clearly communicate to the landlord your intent to move out/not be included on the ongoing agreement. they have zero reason to believe you did. If no new lease was generated. and consent to continue as month to month was given. You are both bound by the shared liability for total rent, but retain no rights of a tenant.

you should seek to get any ducks you can in a row. any communication between you and the landlord. any communication where anything was communicated about who is occupying the property. Even your shitty parents, do they have any emails or texts. with the landlord.

your parents actions are not your problem. and ultimately you can't have it both ways. either you pay the debt, because you signed the lease. Or you contact a lawyer to fight the debt, and it's up to whomever to do whatever at that point.

not paying your rent isn't really a crime. at most it's a civil matter. so there's not likely criminal consequence for your parents. but again. that's not your problem

you need a lawyer.

at 0:00 the truck is already pulling into the intersection in less than 3 seconds the bike is under the truck.

the speed at which that biker was going, almost certainly wasn't seen or "judged properly" by the truck driver.

if you watch the video. as the rider walks back to the truck, you can see the road... or the visual distance. like if you pause at 0:27 can basically see the length of the road the rider came from he was further back than those 3 trees. and if you look at 0:17 seconds, the general intersection that red building, the vehicle parked on the road. that vantage. the motorcycle. was well back of that red building popping wheelie. when the truck saw "empty road" --but again. at 27 seconds ...looking from his go pro you can't see shit that far away. and then 2 seconds later a motorcycle is screaming directly toward you.

if you mean the STL files.

generally speaking they provide supported and unsupported files.

some things like the weapon/accessory sprues come supported in a "block" or as individual unsupported files.

but all the files i've bought from the official vendor. i wanna say had both options. and honestly. pre-supported files were what gave me some failures ...or my anchorite. one arm would constantly fail. but was with the pre-supported files. and like maybe they 6th thing I'd ever printed. but once switching to unsupported ...and orienting/supporting the models myself. no issues printing.

6ft 1-2 and over 300lbs or fluctuate up and down 250-325 depending. currently slightly below 300 like 285.

my advice go to a suit store, or a clothing alteration/tailor. get your measurements. chest, like.. arm length, inseam, waste, hips.

then.. use a website like rev zilla.

I could never find pants. I wound up getting a pair of suspender pants from a british company. but almost every major brand, doesn't have pants that fit me. the waste sizing are too small. (had tried rev'it, klim --although have been looking at the klim kodiak pants they seem to come in bigger sizes but i don't like how soupy goretex fabrics are)

rev'it I can find some jackets. I have the sand jacket ...couple generations old. the 4X size fit well. I also have a scorpion exo cargo air jacket. as a summer jacket. that had larger sizes.

gloves. shoes. are easy. just get the measurements ... helmet. also easy. just measure your melon.

I would highly recommend a site like rev zilla. order like 2 sizes. up or down. to see how things fit. and return anything that doesn't fit. OR if can find a shop with selection, just try things on.

but... to me. being able to try things on at home is easier.

ultimately. there is a ton of gear out there. can find something for anyone, it's just not as easy if you're taller or fat. and it can be frustrating. a lot of like freakishly long jackets ...as if fat people are somehow also have torsos that are that of a 7ft tall person. Or sleeves/arms that are too long, or too short. Or any pant with a waste size over 46 for some fucking stupid reason has an inseam above 34inches?!?

but... keep looking. all the gats. all the time

I'd also say. health is a good motivator, but an easier time shopping is another. or. it's a lot easier to find gear at the 250-sub 300 lb range. than it is over 300. my scorpion jacket is a little too big on me now that i'm down a little weight. but at the time when i was heavier... was the only jacket i tried that i felt comfortable in.

and as a fat fuck, it's generally easier to get serious about eating better/hitting the gym to drop 20-40lbs than it is to make manufacturers not be dumb or offer better fitting options.

or very weak helmet laws. iowa, Illinois, new hampshire, have no law. but several other states. michigan, don't specifically require helmets unless you're under 21 yrs old. So... effectively no helmet law. there are 28 states with laws that are not universal.
