Knew a pilot who's nickname was über. Last name? Guay.

A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It's really worth the watch and I'd love to hear back from you if you do.

If you're a gamer there's a Telltale game that follows this account's namesake. Camina Drummer.

The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it's on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.

As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.

The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.

Reading this felt like the computer version of whatever the SAW movies are.

Torture porn? It's so repugnant but I want more.

To be fair the body thing was the first branch Davidians that broke ties with the seven day Adventist Church. By the time David Koresh took power the splinter religion would see two more leadership changes.

It's weird but the Branch Davidians /=/ David Koresh's Branch Davidians.

It's explained in the first 5ish minutes of this video.

Yeah that's why I'm curious. I read at about 350WPM so what I consider a fast read may be slow for some.

It also depends on the density of the text. I've been struggling through Imperialism by Lenin for like a month.

I'm just curious. How long would you consider a reasonably quick read expressed in hours?

That they are. I just found them recently. They're certainly out of my usual wheelhouse but I've really been enjoying a lot of old folk and country. This kinda bridges the gap perfectly.

It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?

People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.

You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!

They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I'd be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.

 

My first ever fully painted miniature that didn't come free in a box with paints.

Paints used:

  1. 2:2:1 Black Templar:Lahmian Medium:Ultramarine Contrast (Citadel)

  2. Pure Red (Warpaints)

  3. Skeleton Bone (Warpaints)

  4. Greedy Gold (Warpaints)

  5. Cobalt Metal (Warpaints)

  6. Skeleton Horde (Citadel)

  7. Nuln Oil (Citadel)

I've got some places I definitely want to touch up. Places where my brush control was lacking for sure and I'm not happy with the tone on the belt. I find it mixes too much with the gold. I'll be adding some more layers to that as well as touching up any spots I missed with paint.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be continuing to edge highlight with the cobalt Metal on any exposed armour and will attempt my first OSL from the eyes.

Funny thing is, this isn't even from my main army. I have 2500 points of Nids I need to prime and paint. I've just been having a bit of the winter blues so I forced myself to paint something to try and kickstart my engines. Building has been really therapeutic though and painting was even moreso.

Quick and dirty is this:

Running a new dual boot system. Windows boots fine and fast. Grub bootloader grinds and grunts to startup. Systemd checks point to Fedora waiting on the Win10 disk to boot (+45s!!!). Obviously, I don't need that drive to run, but Fedora/Bootloader thinks it should.

Disconnected the Win10 drive, Fedora booted in 3.6s.

So... Windows bootloader knows to ignore the Fedora OS drive and launches fine. Fedora Bootloader insists it try everything to get that Win10 drive running to my own detriment.

Is there a way to just ignore the Win10 drive the way Win10 ignores Fedora?

Been scratching my head on this one for a bit to be honest.

EDIT: Seems the issue was caused by RAID incompatibility from my internal backups for Win10. The RAID drives wrongly pointed the finger at the boot disk because the only thing I could really make sense of in diagnostics was the Win10 boot stalling for 45+ seconds. Once I disconnected all the drives and incrementally reconnected them I quickly realised it was the backup drives and not a boot disk conflict as I wrongly assumed.
