InfestedKerrigan Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Pondering on it some more, I'm leaning towards: soak quartz in water and scrub sediments off, break quartz into smaller pieces, add quartz to muriatic acid from Wal Mart, soak for 3 days, rinse quartz in distilled water, then let soak in distilled water for a week changing water once or twice, transfer supernate to a beaker and boil off the acid into condensing line leaving me with iron oxide for rust effects, take the now hopefully free of solvent quartz pieces and crush them into white silca sand for basing minis. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you get to anime and the grooming. Le sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 How is it that we’re 28 films deep into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and they haven’t included an Easter Egg, In-Joke, and/or full-blown Product Placement for Hostess Fruit Pies? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thousand and 10 years, 1 month and one day before superbowl LIV was the date 01011010. That's binary for Z. Z for zombie! Coincidence?!

I have a sneaking suspicion that your dodgy math didn't account for leap year, leap century, or the conversion from Gregorian back to Julian to account for pre16th century time keeping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol For sure, but leave it to the Iranians to have the most accurate calendar. Plus, it doesn't include doomsday predictions in and of itself, for better or worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 The Iranian calendar has been “corrected” multiple times during its history to suit political and religious purposes. The Achaemenid Empire changed it, Cyrus the Great changed it when he conquered them, Alexander the Great changed it a few centuries later when he conquered the region, the Arsacid dynasty changed it when they took over, and round about 900 BCE the Muslims changed the date of the the new year, then around 1000 CE they completely scrapped the system... Until 1925 CE when the Pahlavi dynasty adopted a new solar calendar. The year also ends and begins at the midnight nearest to the instant of the vernal equinox as determined by astronomical observations. Which means that there necessarily must be differences between the length of years, both due to compounding observational error and the earth’s ever changing orbit. Any calendar system based on orbital mechanics be it solar, lunar, sidereal, or some combination thereof, is going to have to have “leap days” or even “leap seconds” somewhere in it... or it’s eventually going to crash. The universe persists in not operating according to our time tables. This is why we should all just say “to heck with it” and use the British Regnal year dating system. I hope you all are having a pleasant Day 38 68 Eliz. 2 – 69 Eliz. 2! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Gathering They're both Hasbro properties. No rights issues. Both settings are already part of multiverses with all kinds of variations. And Jace and Twilight would probably be adorably nerdy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found it odd that the My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria roleplaying game* was published by River Horse and not Wizards of the Coast... Hasbro owns WotC. Hasbro owns MLP. Seems like a natural pairing. * It is actually a pretty good system, by the way, with no less than Alessio Cavatore as lead designer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
