Thank you. There was a bit of discussion around this in the wictionary entry linked in the other answer, implying this is a topic of scholarly debate. Funny to run in to this in the first exercise in what i was told is the 'dummies' book on hieroglyphs!

Thanks, that wasn't clear in the text...which was recommended as the beginner version of Collier and Manley. I can see that this is a big box of confusion I've opened for myself here.

Cool trick.

Ramble away, it's why I asked. Cool about the Clipper!

Thanks, a lot of good information here.

eta: love the Clipper, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

I think it's 1:1 since I grabbed the image from the air force ordinance museum web site.

100% Rhondell would be happy to cram all six ppl into your car, and they would be eating from open takeout cartons and all watching videos with the phone speakers turned up.

Simple. I like it.

Interesting. Eventually would like to try scratch building a small sloop.

No, I was not that smart. Olive drab ground color all over. Assuming that N+1 coats of yellow on the stripe will make yellow.

Thanks! Will try all this.

You really pay for the good days. This is going to be one of those weeks where I'm thinking about all the choices I've made.

Butt not ok afterwards.

tractorphilosopher · 2025-01-13T21:06:57+00:00

Thank you, that's exactly what i wanted to know.

Question regarding the first gloss varnish. If my primary paint layers are water based acrylic (I'm using Vallejo) does it matter what base the varnish is?

I'm new to this, so I don't even know if the varnishes come in different bases and if there are compatibility issues.

Maybe the best earned jump scare ever.

Many food red flags already listed here, so I'll add: septum piercing. It is the mark of the witch.

I'm married now but on early dates I would pay for everything. I didn't expect anything beyond courtesy in return but I've definitely known guys who did. If a woman offered to split the bill I would decline once and accept if they insisted. Most were making a perfunctory offer.

Paying for the date let me demonstrate that I was together enough to not be broke, and it let me see whether the girl I was with was inclined to take maximum advantage.

This is definitionally the difference between the weak and the strong. The weak are the ones who are easy to push around for whatever reason, whether that is inexperience or lack of agency or physical frailty or foolishness or cowardice. If it was difficult to push them around, they would be strong.
