Looking to buy myself an airbrush off of ebay, find one fairly cheap that comes recommended by folks who know this stuff. Seller is in Poland, article page claims it ships to my country, when I check out the shipping details it lists a number of places it doesn't ship to, my country or the region is not on that list. I go to checkout and suddenly it's 'oops the seller doesn't ship to your country, try something else'.

Some fucking consistency on this shit would be appreciated as it would cut down on time wasted greatly :I

Top seller doesn't recognise your country exists? Them's warring words, son

Randomly- any grammar nazis able to lend a hand?
I've got ^ these things in my writing. They seem to occupy some weird space between a comma and a bracket. Especially for -in the case of formal writing- adding in extra bits which might be out of sequence in a sentence, but are 'more important' than bracketed stuff.

I think they're illegal? But I keep using them because I don't know of anything better. Are they kosher? Should I be using them? I don't want to lose marks because professors are reading my stuff and going 'wtf is with all of this dude's hyphens?'

Only just referred back to this. Now it’s bookmarked. Thanks!

As someone from Kangarooland I empathise. It doesn’t ship here and if it does ship here it costs double.
Let us know what you’re airbrushing though. Sounds cool.

Rhino man, settles in a human hamlet.  Is a good Woodcrafter.
Rhino man dies of old age in 251.
Rhino man is resurrected  a season later, and goes on a rampage.
Led by host through the surrounding countryside and forests, terrorizing  elves and humans alike until it was struck by an elf years later.


The idea of a 2 legged rhino settling down, winning the trust of the local humans, and dying peacefully, only to be resurrects as a half-skeletal nightmare is exactly the kind of cynical horror that I love from DF.  A lesson on why you cannot suffer the xenos, even if they are benign.

When enough of them gather for combat, they release a syndrome cloud which befuddles and confuses their enemies. This is to simulate the bacchanal fervour which they inspire. Naturally, as this mainly revolves around drunkenness, Dwarves would be at least partially immune.

Actually that could go either way. Dwarves could be immune to the effects of alcohol, meaning that they can drink a lot without getting really drunk. Then some magical effect that makes you drunk directly could actually be worse for them, since they're not used to it.

This includes household names such as Uber, Lyft, Casper, and Eventbrite which we've all used,

What are Casper and Eventrbite? I've never heard of them...  I mean, I'm sure they aren't talking about the friendly ghost at least.

Umm... I don't see disturbing sexual overtones, just Jesus hugging a Pikachu.

And let's not forget when they crucified Cartman so that he could get an erection.
That was in the bible, right?

[pisskop]

it does look like pikachu has some kind of ulterior motive though.  Maybe its like a jealous cat and rubbing the attention in your face?

There's black lives matter/ antifa protests going on outside the Winco in Coeur d'Alene Idaho right now, I've been told.

Who got shot this time?

[pisskop]

A grocery store in idaho?

I think they were beaten to death. Wide scale protests and riots. Police took out a few eyes, caused a few injuries, I think some people were shot and killed as well. There’s talk of calling out the national guard.
