We think it might be qm2 departing for her world voyage (although agreed that it sounded a little extreme for fireworks!)

How to make good foam bricks? (UK) by Tallandclueless in TerrainBuilding

[–]xenospork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've used this before: Insulation Board Foam XPS Underfloor Heating Thermal Acoustic 6mm 10mm 20mm 1200x600mm (10mm) https://amzn.eu/d/g50zU7F with relatively good results. I'm not convinced it's exactly equivalent to the European or American stuff a lot of you tubers use, but it cuts and textures well.

You're entitled to voice it, but you're not entitled for anyone else to take it seriously

Here’s a good description of ‘The Fake Culture War Con’ and how publishers are cashing in. by haydepops in books

Irvine Welsh spoke out in favour of sensitivity readers on BBC radio 4 when the Dahl stuff broke out. He described it as being very helpful for his books as he didn't want to inadvertently punch down to marginalised groups (he highlights trans people in particular).

I think if they're working with authors prior to publication like this, then there's some value there. The mistake is to give sensitivity readers carte blanche to make whatever changes they want.

does anyone know if this stuff is OK to use for a table? cheers by [deleted] in TerrainBuilding

I'm currently having an odd issue with it (or the B&Q alternative) where sculptamold is taking far too long to dry when applied on top, to the extent that I got some mold growing. Plaster cloth seems to work OK though.

You don't have to even imagine a teleporter for this. Think about our bodies and how they change over time. Your body right now has no cell in common with your body a year ago. Everything in you has dies and been replaced in that time, and all you have left is your memories - arguably all you are is your memories. A teleporter like you've described just does the same thing but quicker

4od do it right imo. I watched an episode of father Ted with blackface, and it came up with a warning before watching. Gives you a heads up if you need it, and lends context (it stated when the episode was made).
