    what’s hilarious about the movie is it did, in fact, manage to capture the absolute absurdity of the books, even if that’s probably the only thing accurate from the book.

    “This sash is a gift from the Queen of America!” is such a great line, too.

    Also for the record, this was the OG Reichlieu:

    So I have to say, Curry definitely nailed it.

    one of these?

    edit: apparently the Super Guppies were replaced by the BelugaXL

    Which, like, can you imagine the conversation between whoever designed that nose profile and their boss… “It’s more aerodynamic boss. honest!”… “it’s not because we’re calling this thing a beluga?” … “maybe not just…”



  • This is really a conversation you should have with a doctor, and not randos on the internet.

    But there’s a few things- you seem to have had a massive carb load (the fried rice), which can make you drowsy (even if the rice is a low glycemic carb, enough is still going to spike your blood sugar.)

    Your body then responds by producing insulin, which reduces blood sugars, if blood sugar shot up quickly, the body works to bring it back into balance quickly.

    Which, 13 hours later led to low blood sugar and wanting to eat something.

    The reason you need to talk with a doctor is because none of us are going to adequately diagnose anything wrong (and it could be more than a potential for diabetes or being prediabetic.)

    With your mention of your father that is a risk factor so it might be a good idea to check anyhow.

    The dizziness is an indication of low blood sugars, by the way. Which a can of soda is a frequent form of first-care.

    13+ hours is a long time to go without some kind of food intake (or drinks.), though, so you may want to take a look at your eating habits if it’s a regular occurrence and doctors don’t see anything alarming.




  • So… if it’s something that’s going to set on a shelf or something like a wh figurine, you don’t need to prime with acrylic or enamel.

    If it’s something that’s going the handled (like say, a cosplay prop,) your mileage will vary.

    I’d recommend printing off small test parts to see how the paint cures and such. I use small shot-glass-size vase mode prints. (Any one the vases will work, but I suggest anything with more complex contours and a few hard edges.)

    Then they get double use as a glue pot when I’m doing glueups with barges cement or similar adhesives (and painting too.)

    If you find you do need primer… the stuff I’ve found to work best is rustoleum filler-primer. (Yes. The spray can.) you’ll lose surface details, since it’s designed to fill that in, but makes a wonderful foundation.

    Also scuff the surface with a coarse sand paper before you do anything else. This will give whatever base layer you’re using a bit more to bite into.
