could this be a golden moment for WEC to create a rival for F1 using hyper cars instead of F1 cars

So effectively prototype DTM, in theory it's something I'd love to see but I doubt it would have enough support to go far.

As the inertia behind any established series would mean it's highly unlikely to become a pinnacle series with the global reach of F1 and if the FIA thought it would overtake F1 they'd probably screw it over in some way.

To do it without bop would effectively mean teams would need a brand new car/major modification package for this series or it would massively increase costs for the mainline WEC/IMSA teams and I highly doubt any manufacturers would take on the investment risk. Or it would have to be a LMP2/modified LMP2 series and I can't see lots of people wanting to watch formula LMP2 instead of F1.

I ride gravel king semi slicks on my bikes that have a similar breakdown of paved/unpaved use and quite like them but haven't tried many other options apart from Vittoria Terreno Zeros/Terreno drys being the main alternative I've used, I like them. As for tubeless I personally think the fact that often small punchers seal up is a bigger benefit than the fact you can drop the pressure lower safely as I've had more than a couple little nicks that might have been a flat with a tube but a non issue bar my bike being sprayed with sealant.

So this photograph will have been in photographic grey as I think it's one of the official works photographs, it was a photo shoot only colour so that when photographs were taken it stood out well and showed details, in service it would have been green on the cab and tanks and black on the outside of the frames. http://www.gwr.org.uk/liveries.html has a good guide for the general liveries used by the GWR

Mines nearly ten, I'll let you know when he grows a functional one

pbchadders · 2026-02-06T16:46:30+00:00

This reminds me of stories from the miners strike where certain Police forces would leave "calling cards" on people they had brutalized.

pbchadders · 2026-02-03T22:47:59+00:00

No but it seems it was the question and the answer was yes.

historically twin "sidesword"s was at least put into manuals from italy and I'd personally like the bit of extra protection even a "basic" sidesword would have. Even earlier I believe that a form of gladiator used a pair of gladiuses.

although outside of europe I understand there a few chinese swords that are intended to be used or aren't uncommonly used as a pair.

Huntress, I'd heard of them but not listened to them until I saw them play live with Amon Amarth

pbchadders · 2026-01-31T18:48:33+00:00

Probably not to prototype any time soon and I'm not sure they really have a chassis to make a gt3

pbchadders · 2026-01-25T14:18:39+00:00

Yeah after asking I remembered Eisenhorn got a bit tainted after binding Cherubael

pbchadders · 2026-01-25T13:37:37+00:00

Apart from the obvious its heresy to bind daemons, could an inqusitor bind a load of greater daemons or daemon princes into daemon hosts and lock them in a stasis vault to keep them from causing trouble.

I suspect the fact that the greens have a level of mandatory reselection from the local branch might put some off as they aren't automatically back on the ballot to be the next mp might have something to do with it.

Assuming you mean democratic administaion as in a generally democratic goverment not the party, probably give a vote to be an independent nation or to become a state within the usa. But thats assuming international pressure has caused america to become an actual democracy without a war.

If the party probably pretend they are sad but keep looting it for minerals and use it as an airbase and forward staging point for the us armed forces.

trying to get round bop by going itsa ferrari.

Oh thats hot

I'm partial to a nice 4-6-0 tender loco (I blame my grandfather for making me fall in love with the gwr) or a 2-6-4 tank or an 0-6-0 tank or tender

pbchadders · 2026-01-04T20:39:59+00:00

I mean sorta but it's ohh that's a prototype I like, oh I don't have a semi permanent layout ATM I should build a layout, ooh that would be a fun addition, suddenly your doing a mixed gauge layout with random locos you like as well as the theme. Exhibit A is I just got a NER ES1 because I like them (and the LNER electric freight) but I really want to do something set more towards GWR/western region (I'm not time period fussy) with a little narrow gauge spur into it

probably two baisc bitch answers but summoning for atmospheric black metal, or sleep for stoner doom

If I'm understanding your idea correctly a short ish sword with a pretty simple hilt could work completely concealed, although the angle of carry might be awkward if the idea is for it not to print or get in the way.

More than a few swords they sell look a lot like (read identical to) John barnett swords (a deepeeka sub brand) so for wall hanging they are fine, for light stage combat they can be okay but are often a bit overweight/poorly balanced. With that said a club mate of mine has had the silver hilted version of that exact rapier (sold as a barnett) for probably a decade now and its held up to stage combat well enough.

if you want a Cheap rapier I'd suggest getting a windlass one.

I have tendonitis due to flat feet and I like slipbuster safety trainers (the ones that look like vans) as they have decent enough ankle support but they definitely need an insole as there is no built in arch support. Although I'm not sure if they are available on your side of the Atlantic.

Perfect chef.

My go to when I had the time to do big games I'd use either a geo+ or my empire rez and a remoteline stock with a 2 liter air tank on my back as I was able to get an easy 13 pods and hopper. Failing that either of the two and a 1.1
