  • GO, CALIGULA! DEFEAT THE OCEANS ONCE AND FOR ALL

    Jump

  • Thank you for giving a detailed and serious answer to my silly question :)

    I'll admit, it doesn't sound quite as nice with the extra information, but I'm still relatively in favour of a small war on Neptune, at least for a little while.

  • Did they get paid the same for a day of stabbing the sea and picking up seashells, as they did for traveling across a treacherous sea, marching to a distant land in an inhospitable climate and engaging in war where they may die?

    If so, a bit of the old "splish-splash, stabby-stabby, ooh-what-a-nice-shell" doesn't sound too bad to me.

    "Emperor, using this miniature spade, and an upturned bucket, I have built this small fortification out of wet sand, to defend us from Neptune's tides"

  • Yeah. That old lady spending £3000 a month on gems for "Royal Candy Blaster Treasure Blitz Origins" is the gaming industry now. :(

  • Portrait, oil on canvas. Finally framed and ready to deliver.

    Jump

  • Pretty much. It depends on a lot of factors, like how thick it's gone on, which colours and what specific oils or additives are in the paint, what surface it's on, how that surface was prepared etc, what the temperature and humidity of the room it's stored in is. It's not unheard of for artworks to be delivered to major exhibitions with paint that's still wet round the edges, especially if it's been a little "blobbed on".

    For the varnishing, it might be surface/touch dry a lot sooner, but the paint is still wet underneath - so "6 months before varnishing" is the general rule most people follow. There are some synthetic quick-drying varnishes which (in theory) if applied gently and carefully, will still allow the paint to "breathe" and let you apply it sooner, allowing the painting to continue drying out after varnishing.

  • Did we ever see Gowron kiss a girl or talk about his wife? No? Gay. It just wasn't a big deal, so they didn't mention it.

  • I put things like this in a box labelled "I don't know how to recycle this", then I put that box in the corner of the least-used room in the house, where I won't see it often.

  • They should really publish a full list of pornographic websites that don't currently enforce face-scanning, ID-scanning or other types of intrusive identity gathering, so we know which websites to avoid.

  • We don't seem to have blamed the freemasons for anything for a while.

    I'm sure it must be their turn again. How do you start shifting blame groups?

  • I'd love a replacement for the "Online Safety Act" :)

  • Got you. Imgur is now completely blocked in the UK after the "Online Safety Act", "to protect the children", because maybe one of the pictures hosted on it is some boobs or something?

  • "Content not viewable in your region"?

    Now I'm more confused.

  • Labour aren't left wing.

    Jump

  • The current Labour Party, under Keir Starmer, are socially more right-wing than David Cameron's Conservatives were - though not as far to the right as the procession of ghouls who followed Cameron.
