RIP kbin.social. We hardly knew ye.
Hats off to them! Where are the rest?
The US doesn’t do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There’s a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.
I didn’t say anything about reverting back to medieval weaponry or battle tactics. More than a couple ways to make their ears ring these days even if they aren’t the tip of the spear.
Royalty and nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare. I’d be curious if that would have any effect on military operations…
I used to work for a building materials distributor; we moved a lot of composite decking. From what I remember the manufacturer didn’t recommend leaving a cleaner on the decking, that if a cleaner was used it should be rinsed off before it has the chance to dry. I can’t speak to Pine-Sol specifically, but we would use Simple Green on any boards that needed cleaning and would wipe it down with a couple rags (one to remove the excess cleaner, and a wet rag to follow up).
Edit: Here’s a url for the manufacturer’s product care page that we dealt with. If you know the brand of decking you have installed there ought to be a similar page on their website if there are any differences.
Magnolia is such an honest depiction of human fallibility. Almost unrivaled in its verisimilitude to modern life (or modern as of it’s release date). Incredible movie. Good shout.
I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I’ll always have both stocked in my pantry.
The Seventh Seal [Ingmar Bergman, 1957]
As the plague ravages Scandinavia, a Swedish crusader returning home is greeted at the shore of his homeland by Death. To buy enough time to make it back to see his wife he challenges Death to a game of chess.
A film about different human reactions to the inevitability of death. One of Bergman’s masterworks.
Whatever happened to Whiplash? You know, that spider monkey that would dress up as a cowboy and ride around on a border collie at rodeos and in a few Taco John’s commercials. Put him in there. The border collie can be his running mate… (get it? get it?)
Got a session of Pathfinder in with my group who seems plagued by the scheduling monster. Always glad to get a session in when we can.
