Turkish flag is an interesting case, as it’s nearly a 100 years older than Turkey.

The design has been used by the late Ottoman Empire, and then adopted when the Republic of Turkey (now regretting to itself as Turkiye) was established.

Very pretty, but feels like the build is going to be super repetitive.

It’s a lovely set. A few parts are a bit finicky and delicate, but I love how LEGO designers translated the “bigger on the inside” concept into the build. I have since scraped mine for parts, but still have the weeping angels haunt my modular buildings display. Daleks too.

Ok, that’s a good one. I think I might have fallen down with the good old bias: everything before my time is antique and everything newer than my time is an abomination. Thanks for slapping some sense into the old grumpy guy :)

I guess my beef is not with the abbreviations, but more with the fact that short versions completely replace long ones. I can’t recall the last time I heard someone say words like mayonnaise or influenza.

Ever noticed how in America we tend to come up with abbreviations for any word people don’t feel like learning to spell? Renaissance, Mayonnaise… even Through. (Ren, Mayo and Thru, respectively).

Anyway, awesome costumes, love both armors equally.

Get out of my head. Came here to post pretty much the same words.

People eat that garbage :(

Is that a legit site? Looking at the submissions, while all of them are raster, if only call a few as pixel art.

eBay has become the place for scalpers to sell overpriced wares, after they emptied store shelves. From toilet paper to graphics cards, that’s where the buyout stock, sell for profit happened.

Now even without shortages, this philosophy persists at eBay. Nothing to lose for them, free money to make on uninformed buyers.

Worst case they end up not selling and can possibly return items for full refund.

Scummery at it’s finest

Welp, we had Friday, didn’t we? (Last week there was an excessive heat wave that kept everyone indoors. Friday was lovely and then on Saturday the smoke came in)

In the immortal words of James Stephanie Sterling “corporations don’t just want some money. They want all of the money”

Reminder: gas prices have next to nothing to do with Russia’s war in Ukraine. They are artificially hiked up by the producers simply because they can (and because the world is transitioning away from fossil and it’s one of their last tangos)

Based on this picture, I’d be expecting diagonal rainfall.
