The BBCs coverage of Nandy really cements how anti-left they currently are in my eyes. Barely mentioning the two leading candidates in favour of a no-hope third-placer who just so happen to be right-wing.

Army painter are cheap. My experience of them has been adequate but they're nothing to write home about. The Vallejo ranges are great, particularly the Model and Game Air line (made for airbrushing but they're fantastic for brushing on). GW have the most expensive paints, but they're ubiquitous in the UK and some of their lines/colours are unique. Stuff like Contrast paints, their washes and their metallics are excellent. The downside is price and the fact that they still come in stupid flip-top pots. IMO they're probably the most beginner friendly as there's literally days of tutorials online using their paints.

I never quite know whether to put them inside or outside quotes but even I don't use that many of the bloody things. Like, brackets, hyphens, you have many other forms of punctuation you can use.

Well I'm glad there's not a definite rule at least. I don't put them in the quotes because they're not part of the quote, but they look weird outside of it. But that writing is actually made less readable by the punctuation.

There is a specifically Korean JH Kingdom Hall down the road from me and they are on a bunch of streets in the city centre. Plymouth Brethren are another odd evangelical Christian church with populations spread around the UK to some extent. There was a big group of them in Buckingham where I used to live/grew up. Sure I've mentioned them before. The local group had a thing up until about 2015 where they wouldn't use technology/computers (upon further reading this is actually a thing for the whole sect), which made them interesting to deal with as they run the local trade suppliers... so they had to do inventory, stock-keeping and stuff without computers. They seem to have abandoned that now and they have computers in the store, email addresses and an online-ordering system.

Turns out they are weird and culty and don't let women in the cult talk to outsiders. Who knew. I only found out about them because the hall is a pokestop lol

OwlFancier posted:Well I'm glad there's not a definite rule at least. I don't put them in the quotes because they're not part of the quote, but they look weird outside of it. "Does punctuation go inside or outside quotes?" goes inside, because the question is part of the quote. Does there have to be a massive grammatical debate every time a writer says "I put punctuation inside quotes"? - That goes outside because it's not part of the quote, the quote isn't a question.. Commas and stops are where most of the debate is, unless you're citing verbatim for law or journalism or academic work, in which case it should follow the original. But even then there's some opinions about the final comma/stop.

Rule number one, I think, in being a good writer, is to include not only to pepper your sentences with needless punctuation, but also, using a bunch of needless subordinate clauses that, I'm sure you'll agree, not only make the prose halting and difficult to parse, and make the reader, confused about where it's all going, lose track, ultimately, of what the point even was in the first place, pad out the sentence to paragraph length.

Turns out they are weird and culty and don't let women in the cult talk to outsiders. Who knew. Back when I was 4 or 5 we lived in a place that wasn't even a village, there were 20 houses in a mile radius or something. Anyway, I was an incredibly sociable & friendly kid (how things change) & turns out that there were...not sure if they were Plymouth Brethern or some offshoot of them but they were the nicest family. A lot of kids of varying ages but they were all incredibly friendly & not in a culty way at all. Well, according to my faint memories, we're talking 30 years ago. At some point one of their kids was being baptised & my mum, me & sister were invited along. My sister would have been about 18 months old and did toddler stuff like crying and they were so good and patient and just very "let kids be kids" which was so loving different to when my own cousin got baptised in the Church of Scotland church my grandparents attended and it was all "how dare your baby make noises on this solemn occasion?" and my mam ended up having to go outside with her. Dunno what my point is really, except that at least to a 5 year old they were by far & away the nicest Christians I've ever had any experience with. And definitely did let their women talk to outsiders. But there's also "Open" & "Exclusive" sects & the Reeves definitely weren't "Exclusive" going by what I've read.

One set of my great grandparents were Plymouth Brethren. My grandfather left when he was 16 but remained very 'low church' in his beliefs, everything very plain, no ornamentation in the church and as for roman catholics, they were the devil's work and as for the Pope... practically Satan.

In the last few months I've got back into painting minis (actually bought my first new GW minis since in a decade beginning of the month) and my decade old Vallejo paints are still in stock, still look the same to my reasonably colourblind eyes and still work wonderfully. I bought a couple of GW paints and a metallic spray and I haven't tried the spray yet but the flip tops are awful. Army Painter sprays are good and the paints genuinely colour match them and the browns are good (not tried any others). Vallejo bone white is pretty grim and I don't know if that's the paint being old or the paint as I can't really remember what it was like fresh. I love the Army Painter washes too, give them a go its so much better than making your own as I used too. I hear good things about Games Workshop Contrast paints as above.

You can tell how many times I've bothered to edit any bit of writing by how many needless subjunctives there are in it. same I've always tended to do it, and now a lot of my emails have got clauses that depend on others ("if this isn't working then do A, if it is then do B") or relatively important parenthetical information (like "make sure not to touch this bit when you're taking it out") so it can all spiral out of control pretty quickly. It's not great for presenting straightforward instructions, so I deliberately go back through and make sure that I'm not using more than one or two in any given sentence I literally put more effort into a random email than she does on something she's going to publish on a national news site

There's nothing to be gained by brand loyalty and for most 'basic' colours all of the brands will be pretty similar. If you're good enough to tell the difference then you'll be good enough to pick what you prefer. I swerved away from GW into Vallejo for basic colours for over a decade but have recently started moving back to them again. GW really do have a lot of different formulations and if you buy a bag of cheap dropper bottles from China you can decant everything from the flip-tops.

Aye I have no brand loyalty but 1) gently caress flip tops, droppers for life and 2) Thousand Sons is a loving weird paint. Expandinf on point 2 I've decided to make a Thousand Sons 40k army and their signature colour doesn't have a ready equivalent with any other company and splits really quickly its hard to work with on my wet pallet but simultaneously too thick out the pot to readily use.
