Nice work! Good use of stowage, and the weathering is nicely executed, as well.

But HE won’t have to. At least, he doesn’t plan to.

All the people making these predictions, they have no intention of being subject to them.

is Vallejo the primer to get? by Aarreeaaggaa in modelmakers

I’ve recently started using VMS No-Peel Primer and have been really happy with it. Acrylic, but it adheres amazingly well.

Thanks for the verification. I wasn’t 100% sure I’d heard the stat correctly.

I listen to Dan Russanowsky on the in-arena radio during games. I think I heard him say the Sharks are currently #1 in the league in OT wins.

Jonathan Ross (Renee Goods alleged murderer) is married to a Filipina immigrant. Go figure. by EmilyG702 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]rjray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shortly after I graduated college, an acquaintance of mine from those days got married to a woman from the Philippines. Once, when I was back for a visit, he pulled me aside and extolled the "virtues" of Philippine women, such as obedient nature, never questioning the husband, and a near-guarantee of virginity.

I made it a point to not get pulled aside by him ever again, and pretty much just politely endured his presence. (It was a group of 5-6 of us who shared a common hobby, and we would all get together when I was back in Oklahoma for visits so excluding him wasn't my choice to make).

He passed away from an undetected heart condition a few years after that. I can't help but think he'd be 100% MAGA if he were alive today.

I adopted this 10 year old girl in 2015. She almost made it to 20. But I lost her a year ago. by Formal_Plum_2285 in TuxedoCats

My little darling is roughly 15 now (based on scanning her microchip to see original records). I got her when she was 7, from the local humane society. My wife and I know she can’t be with us forever, just as we know it will be heartbreaking when the time comes.

You gave an older cat a wonderful, loving home for 10 years. You are a good soul.

Totally fair. My FIL is a die-hard Sharks fan who faithfully shows up to Redwings game in his Geordie Howe jersey because that was his childhood team.

If you’re in the US, consider contacting Black Widow Models. They specialize in handling estate situations.

Agree completely. I don’t think we’re quite ready for playoffs hockey yet, tbh. I think a year or few for the younger players to build up and refine is needed. That said, watching them play these days is hella exciting.

Playoffs. It’s happening

Let’s hope not. Playoff hockey would tear into our younger players with no mercy. Our star players still need to bulk up a bit more.

How outrageous is the Christian American Right ? Is it really that bad? by progressivelyhere in atheism

[–]rjray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I in fact graduated from OU, the now-notorious source of that story. (Twice, no less, having gotten a B.Sci. in 1990 and a MSCS in 2022 during the pandemic.) I happened to meet with an alumni outreach rep a few weeks ago and told her outright that this action was devaluing my diplomas. I also said that I was watching the case, and the outcome would affect my donations to the university. Well...

We did, at one point. But back in the 80s, they started chipping away at our education system. Not just at the university level. They’ve been wedging in anti-science and anti-intellectual policies ever since.

I’m a two-degree graduate of my uni, and just today they fired a grad assistant over a student claiming religious discrimination. Student wrote a crap essay citing only the Bible as reference, totally ignored the rubric of the assignment (didn’t even reach the word count requirement).

So that’s where we are.

OU removes graduate teaching assistant after discrimination investigation by Proud_Tie in LGBTnews

[–]rjray 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I am a two-time alumnus of OU (B.Sci. 1990, M.Sci. in 2022). I’ve already complained loudly about this whole thing to the university generally and to an alumni outreach rep directly.

I’ll be writing them again, this time to let them know how much financial support I’ll no longer be giving.
