This is a case all over. At uni I rented near a elementet school (year 1-7 which is 5/6 to 12/13 years old in Norway) and it was massive driving hazards there as well. My aunt also worked an elementary school and they had to have staff patrol the drop off/pick-up area each day, and put up barriers and chicanes because of dangerous driving by stressed parents.

I now deliver my kid by foot to kindergarten and here they built a proper delivery zone for both schools and kindergarten forcing people to drop school children (that can walk alone) far off and a well planned logistical sound one for the kindergarten. Not perfect but it's something

Any tips for a newbee where to start looking for learning to root a TV?

I only use Telegram for my Warhammer 40k group..Authorities seizing that will get them years of mindless chatter about the Emperor, memes and battle reports. Fuck they will pay us to leave Telegram

This is an old meme, from before even they had branded internet cultural phenomena as memes. "a hero" means suicide if I remember correctly, but I can't remember the origin/context that spawned it

My mother worked in Germany in the late 60s (We are Norwegian) and her boss' (and life long friend of the family) husband was 16 when he was literally drafted from HJ to the SS in early 45. He was a good jugend and it was an "honor" and such BS. But having spent all his childhood in nazi Germany he knew nothing else. He was captured by the Russians in Czechoslovakia and spent 5 years as a POW and the only reason he made it as far as becoming a POW was his age and because the SS NCOs made sure he didn't get the SS serial number tattoo since he was so young.

God knows how he manages to survive, but I never knew him to not eat every morsel of food on his plate, and he never talked about his experience.

I shed no tears for Nazis, but I do shed tears for the duped and the "innocents" of any conflict.

Make sure she has no illnesses she can transfer to Nini before you let them permanently together

Just to clarify, I am at the point where I have hand painted for years :) The next step is continue to improve brush control, and perhaps airbrush

Think it's the trap that if you continue with the hobby, all the starter gear is useless and all the money could have been spent on better equipment.

I paint miniatures. Not as often it as much as I would like to because of dividing my time between work, two year old and chores, but I have had the hobby for the last six years. I have yet to purchase an airbrush, and I can get a perfectly decent starter set for lets say 20 USD. But I can also get a better set with high end compressor, better paint gun.for 60 USD. I know that if I keep getting better at using the airbrush I will eventually get the high end stuff, why not "save" money and get it right away.
