Quick question - do Americans use the expression "bottled it" for being scared off?
I'm wondering because in an episode of The Boys, Butcher says the related phrase "I lost my bottle" when he meant "I lost my rag", and it made it to air, even though it made no sense in the context.
From an outsider's perspective, although the Republicans are clearly the most corrupt of the two parties, the Democrats are far from being the good guys.
There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Democrat politicians don't actually care about truth and justice either, they're just less bad than the Republicans are.
Tldr: vote Democrat, but don't kid yourself. Vote because they are the least worst option.
D&D with the classic Heroquest DM screen? Colour me intrigued...
When juries deliberate, they discuss their reasons for thinking this or that. Basically, by telling the jury to disregard something, the judge is saying that this shouldn't be included in the decision-making process.
Of course people can't just take things out of their heads, and of course the legal representatives take advantage of that fact.
Overhangs were the biggest issue I found. So much so that I moved back to a 0.4 after a month of faff trying to find settings that would compensate.
I use my printer mainly for minis, and figures that would print supportless on the 0.4 nozzle needed huge amounts of supports at 0.2 in order to print without missing chins etc.
That said, the level of detail that I could achieve was better, particularly on the hair, but not enough to compensate for all of the extra faff and wasted plastic.
Is it possible to just tell them it's a medical appointment, but it's about something that you don't feel comfortable talking about?
It's the truth, it explains the secrecy about the appointment, but it keeps the secret.
The trouble with "creepy" is that it's emotive. Although it's absolutely a correct word to use, it can easily be dismissed as an insult.
"Weird" is less of an insult, and can be taken objectively. I've got OCD, I know I'm weird - I'd be lying if I pretended otherwise.
But the thing is, Trump and Co don't just want to be seen as "normal", they want to be seen as the best at "normal".
This is why "weird" works. It's possible to argue that Trump being creepy is just someone else's opinion, but it's very hard to deny that he doesn't do and say some weird things.
This is sticking because, even with the ludicrous amounts of good-faith his supporters have for him, it's undeniably true, and possibly taps into any underlying misgivings they may have.
Something to add to this.
The people protesting against racism are counter-protesters. They are showing up to protest against the far right who are in turn protesting against migrants.
In the past couple of days they have been out-numbering the far right protesters by at least an order of magnitude, and a lot of the expected riots have been averted.
We've seen empires burn to the ground so many times before.
At the very simplest, you can just overlap things in the slicer without Blender.
If you want to learn about Blender's Sculpt mode, you can just Google "Blender Sculpt mode tutorial". For convenience, try to use the most recent results, as the interface can be slightly different in older versions.
Sculpt mode effectively allows you to alter the models as if they were made of clay or plasticine.
A lot of the tutorials will be showing how to make things from scratch, but what's important is that you see how the tools work.
Once you have everything overlapping the way you want, you can join the using a Boolean operation. You'll want to use a "union" operation.
To avoid the gaps you can line them up with an overlap.
You can adjust the vertices of the model slightly to help facilitate this. The most natural-feeling way to do it in Blender is by using the Sculpt mode.
You can use a Boolean addition operation to then make the two models a single piece of geometry. Or not bother (if you are printing on FDM or at 100% infill in resin, it won't really hurt either way).
Warhammerers?
The initial buy-in, especially at a Games Workshop/ Warhammer store is astronomical.
You'll need paintbrushes to start - here, try these, the most expensive paintbrushes you'll ever buy. And paints too, how about our mindboggling range of expensive paints?
When I took up mini painting again as an adult, with dirt-cheap acrylic paints and brushes, and achieved far better results than I ever did as a kid with the "proper" stuff, it was a real eye-opener.
