    That's nice. My mom liked it that way too. :)

    The milk helps soften it up and work got a fancy "do it yourself" machine, so you can make it just in the way you want. It is nice instead of the usual prechosen options

    Eh... Yes. Yes it is. That box is £150 in UK and 1500DKR in Denmark. Cheap for the amount of miniatures, if you can use all of them, or even just one of the factions. Problem is, by now I'm only interested in the terminator squad (the chunky bois), and the medic. The rest is... ugh. Fine at first glance, but I'm seeing more and more faults, like stances, tabards stuffed up under the chestplate, the ways a lot of them are holding their weapons, etc etc etc...

    I've collected/painted miniatures since early 80's so I know a thing or two about chopping figures up, swapping out parts and sculpting things from scratch. So when some shiny new box comes out, I often don't need to buy it to get the new troop choices. Come to think of it, I didn't buy the 9th edition box either.

    It is kind of an expensive hobby, but the painting and modelling process helps taking the top off my ADHD. There's also a social aspect of the hobby, that helps me, an introvert, in getting out and meeting new people once in a while. And as I've collected on and off for about 40 years, I'm not running out of things to paint for a while, curbing the urge to buy new stuff. So at this stage, the hobby costs less per month than a night of frugal clubbing. And I get stabbed less.

    Oof, that is pricy with those faults on top of that. I assume paint also costs some but aren't vendor locked so you have choices.

    Neat, it is nice to have something to be nerdy about with others. A passion that can keep you occupied for a long time I see.

    On another note, I decided not to invest in the new Warhammer 40K box. The rules are available for free from GW's site already, and half the minis in the box I have no interest in, whatsoever. Now I've looked at the marine minis for a while, and I'm seeing more and more things I would need to convert. So I'll wait for the multipose kits instead, or even just convert using parts I got lying around.

    Might be just as well... It's not like I'm swimming in money, and I still need to save up for that new futon.

    Isn't warhammer also very expensive?

    Yeah... Plat...

    I got plenty of primes etc to sell, but I seriously hate the trading system. Not to mention the chance of ending up with bad plat.

    I am too shy to trade, it makes me nervous to do so, so I rarely do it. I would like a more "automated" system, like put out a listing and one can click buy and done, no more need to babysit chat.

    Bad plat is quite scary, and the trouble it can give you, yikes.

    I tried him out in the circuit.

    Not going to bother. Duviri got old really fast, and grinding that sh*t in "Not Soulframe"?

    nope-octopus-gif.gif?fit=500,277&ssl=1

    I haven't taken one step in duviri, just bought the items instead as I had plat to spare from a long time ago

    Finally hit 1000 logins! I've technically hit this a while ago but I have had to jump multiple platforms lol. It's crazy to think I hadn't even met my SO when I first found this game. A lot has happened since then. And what a fitting gift from DE to randomly super buff my first Primary (Latron) and Secondary (Atomos) mains. Here's to another 1000 logins. I'll stop after that..........maybe.....................probably not.

    I did not expect to like the Lodestar Armor as much as I do, but it looks gewd on Chroma Prime.

    and at some point you end up at more than double of your current and then you wonder where the time went.

    Recovering slowly, but steadily, and managed to get through the worst pain without using the opioid tablets. Scariest part was getting the digestive system up and running again (usually takes 2-3 days after an operation), and very few times has taking a dump been such a relief. :D

    Removed the sealed dressings this morning to get some air to the stitches, and counted 12 staples over 4 incisions, no sign of infection and very little discoloration. Cleaned them with disinfectant swabs, and covered up with padded micropore, to avoid snagging and abrasion.

    Well enough to get outside to get fresh groceries by now (in small quantities). I had plenty of shelf stable foods ready, in case I was incapacitated for longer, but fresh fruit and eggs still beat canned fish and protein powder. Still, never hurts to be prepared.

    One thing that got painfully obvious: I need a new futon. The old one is too compressed in the middle, and after a couple of days in one position, back and shoulders hurt really bad. Found a dealer not far from where I live, so once I save up enough (hopefully over the summer), it should be simple to buy one and get it home. I love getting a new futon! Laying on one feels like floating, and I love the rich cotton smell. :3 Simple joys...

    Getting comfortable is one of the best feelings, among all the things that goes on in life, having to not think at all and just enjoy the moment. Wish you good recovery.

    wow someone had the hospital charge 323k. That is like 2.5k square feet home. Health care costs are out of control.

    Honestly, the costs are unbelievable, impossible to pay. It is quite sad.

    Just a trivial hernia repair. I have a pretty strong core from a life of lifting weights and martial arts, so the damage is minimal. I should be back in my own bed the same day. I did look up prices, and Mein Gott! My appreciation for the danish health care system skyrocketed. We might pay some of the highest taxes in the world, but we seem to get our money's worth in health care, education, infrastructure etc. Typical cost of $4-11K sans insurance, but eh..... look at the comments. Ouch!

    Good to hear.

    Indeed, it does have its issues but in general miles better than so many other places. I wouldn't be able to get my treatment without it (and some of the previous stuff I have been through).
    Even with a high tax rate, people do have a quite high buying power in general. I do like that it helps everyone in need, better for everyone.

    I am so happy I live in a country with an actual, working universal health care system. Especially since I'm going under the knife next week.

    Something to be very grateful for indeed. I hope it all goes as expected <3
