Pues precisamente sí, los chinos eran famosos por escupir en la calle unos santos gargajos. Cuando se acercaron las olimpiadas de Beijing el Gobierno dijo que era insalubre y daba mala imagen y empezaron a poner multas ejemplarizantes (imagina 500 euros por lapo) y ahora es muchísimo menos frecuente

That depends on the country. In Spain, for example, permanent residency (including a work permit) is automatic after 5 years, independently of work or marriage. And someone from the Philippines or Hispanic America can get it in just 1,5

The other way around. The Count of Flanders became King of Spain, and those who rebelled against it lost. True enough, he went native and his son faced a more successful rebellion in Flanders but still Spain was [ruled by a] Belgian and not the other way around 😜

Well, the previous regime was installed with a coup sponsored by the US and UK, and it wasn’t exactly puppies and candies. Why should the current one have any love for the countries who enslaved, brutalized, and robbed them for decades? Did the USA ever try to rein in the Shah or made amends?

Vox (far right) in Spain, for example, never had problems to get several million euros “loans” from Hungarian banks every year with no hurries at all to get the money back and very friendly relations with the Hungarian government. Misteriously.

Según leí la versión en Farsi incluye el fin de las limitaciones al enriquecimiento de uranio mientras que la versión en inglés no dice nada. Si fuese cierto sería un gol tremendo de Irán (y sería lo que hundirá el trato en dos semanas o menos). Y lo de los peajes en Ormuz es gordísimo.

That’s how all parliaments began. Eventually members found themselves banding together with others with similar goals, and formal parties appeared sooner or later. USA has one of the weakest political parties system, and that’s how you got where you are.

The plane is OK, it’s written right on the tail

Se decide en bloques de varios años (5 ó 7, no recuerdo) y el bloque actual acaba en 2026. España ya ha propuesto formalmente dejar la tontería, pero falta ver qué vota el resto

It should be crozii if we go with the typical pseudo-Latin called High Gothic, no?

That’s the start of their “near” hegemonic era. No empire in the region has been free of the Persians breathing down their necks since then, and even the Mughals in India called themselves Viceroys of Persia.

They’ve been near hegemonic (or outright hegemonic) in the region for about 24 centuries or so, perhaps we should take that into account too.

My bad, I should have double checked before posting instead of trusting my memory. Thanks for the clarification!

I’d say that the fact that FDR was a veteran himself and had 4 out of 5 sons in the frontline (no bone spurs, no flat feet, no cushy staff work) also makes it more heartfelt.

Moreover, David Niven was the actor that Ian Fleming envisioned for the role. That’s why they went after him for the Casino Royale thing

Orks have always been fungi, and therefore asexual

If they succeeded they wouldn’t have reasons to travel to the past when their own age arrived. Our timeline is the one in which they failed.

Destrozaron sus países hasta el desastre con su egoísmo y ahora vienen a por el nuestro. Ni aprendieron ni escarmientan, y encima aquí hay quienes babean por hacer la misma mierda.

He was living in another continent at the time, assigned to a totally unrelated department. We can cut him some slack for not being up to date on war #5837 at the other side of the World.

Old minis were in “heroic scale”, with oversized heads and hands. New ones are in proper 28mm scale, so the heads and hands remain the same and everything else got bigger.

Bueno, que con el peor resultado histórico del PSOE los partidos a su izquierda no hayan sido capaces de igualar, ya no superar, el mejor resultado histórico de IU en solitario es para reflexionar más que para tirar cohetes. Que la gente prefiera abstenerse que mirar a la izquierda del PSOE es grave

Es una investigación muy compleja. ¿Cuál de los 16 Rajoy de Madrid podrá ser quien recibe dinero del tesorero del PP? ¿Quién de los 3 M. Rajoy de España podrá tener algún cargo retribuido en el PP? ¡Qué misterio!

Ahora que ya ha dimitido son capaces de sobreseer el caso. “¿Filtración de sentencia? ¡Pero si la demencia dice algo totalmente distinto!”

Bueno, y los de sangre también se libran ¿no? 😜

Setup for 1000 points warhammer 40K grand, with a big ruined temple in the middle, scattered smaller ruins around and two armies: Blood Angel space marines in red and black armor on the right, and Imperial Guard in grey and green on the left

A heroic command platoon of five men, carrying a red and blue banner, charges a huge bipedal dreadnought mech in the company of a back leather clad commissar

The brave last survivor of a platoon holds his ground against five psychotic marines led by a fanatical chaplain

Despite the arrival of a heavy weapons reinforcing squad, the battle is decided when the dreadnoughts finally hit the artillery at the last line

Long time no play, and first time in this edition, but quite satisfied in how dearly my #astramilitarum troopers hold the line. Two platoons of base line infantry for Lemartes, 1 squad of marine assault veterans, and 2 units of primaris is a bargain! #warhammercommunity #playingwarhammer

That’s exactly what was in my mind. The lightning is not so good (they’re painted dark grey instead of full black), but I totally agree it needs some contrast there in order to bring out the details

Thanks for the hint! 👏👏👏

Plastic model of a 28mm scale ruined church with cloister and two big statues on both sides of the main gate

The corner of the cloister in the previous photo, being painted with dark grey columns, deep red walls, and bronze windows and metal bracings. Most of the minor elements (cables, ventilators) are not fully painted yet

Not a kit for people in a hurry, but I’m certainly loving the way all the details are getting together. I’m still wondering whether to paint those columns in a bit lighter color, though…

Peor: que te condenen por asesinato con la víctima diciendo “eh, que estoy aquí” desde las sillas del público de la Sala.
