You all make me want to start a collection of my own haha~ ?

Careful.  In my experience, collections are called 'collections', because they collect one thing very well: dust.  Literally.  Glass cases are the best thing to do with aircraft models.  Or, there's always the alternative - leave them in the boxes, unbuilt, so that the boxes can be easily dusted!

You speak the truth. The real reason I didn't post my whole collection is because I haven't dusted in a bit.

I mean, I can deal with dust haha, I got a whole studio and too little heed for the cumulation of dust in some areas...

I dunno about the Death Star but I would love to have the room for the Star Destroyer. My entire apartment is just over 900 square feet...and that is with three bedrooms. Lack of space is a very real thing. I mean, my toolbox is in our kitchen...LOL

the one my girlfriend wants is the super star destroyer, and having seen how it looks in person, i can't disagree with her... though the new ATAT looks incredible. i'm just not into star wars enough to spend that much on it lol

God, I made a mistake getting into warhammer minis.
The lego prices at least seem reasonable. On the expensive side for big kits, but they don't seem that bad for the average kit, no?

 

depends on the kit lol... and whether it's still for sale directly from lego. the moment it's not on shelves still, the price skyrockets, and a lot of sets are unreasonable even then (but that's mostly licensed stuff, ESPECIALLY anything owned by disney, their prices are always much higher)

[TT.]

I wish there was more adventure sets with original lego license, and less Ninjago/City around...
The collector Legos look amazing, but they're also damn pricey, take a hella ton of place and don't really have fun value once they're fully builded

I often go for a cup of cream with some coffee in it.

 

It's not a cappuccino if the cream's the main ingredient, right?

I'd dare to call that coffee flavoured cream...lol

 

Besides, if I'm not mistaken, cappuccino is steamed/frothed milk anyway. 

 

I like mochas...a lot.

LOL, mine is some super cheap Aldi Keurig pods...i do add creamer though.

[Fiend71]

I just have plain-Jane donut shop coffee ala Keurig.

 

10% half & half...lol

 

SOMETIMES I go haywire, and get some fancy pods...lol

The wal mart ones? If so that is what my wife drinks. A little creamer, no sugar...I can't bear it.

Well no, recently it's been the Krispy Kreme ones via Amazon...lol  Still just plain old medium roast.

 

I at least need sugar.  I'd have black sweet before cream no sweet.

Is that so? That still sounds like a blast to drink honestly, and so it is! Haha!

 

I do drink some keurig stuff, or, well, that is whilst the machine wasn't bonkers, now it sounds like a jackhammer and pisses all over the counter...

 

I've been wanting to get a manual coffee thingy but I can't figure out the name of it, could someone tell me about it?

i actually really love a lot of the bigger ninjago sets, they have really cool designs and themes sometimes honestly!! but i do miss the old adventure lines, despite the casual racism in some of the themes

 

i would join in talking about my favourite drinks but i don't have any lmao, and i don't really know the breeds of cafe drinks ?

[TT.]

Heh, not a fan of coffee

As for the lego topic, see City ? well nowadays they go to space, dig in the mines or dive in the see, so there's no more space for stuff like space police/mars mission/atlantis/power miners...

Yeah, I mean, I don't think one should mind racism as long as it's not with ill intent nor ultimately cause troubles for individuals of a specific origin and/or gender; In areas such as humor especially, visual or otherwise.

 

Spoiler

Like, the world is rather heavily stuck up and likely have shafts uncomfortably crammed up their bum bums 'cause they can't take casual comments and jokes alike half the time, some things are inherently funny and/or have a strong "smug potential" regardless of how questionable it seems and there's no way around it. Most people found something like a racist joke funny at least once, and more than once have I heard it being about a person's own origin.

 

It'd be hella boring around friends of different origins if I had to carefully pick and choose every word that leaves my babbler mouth, and I consider pretty much anyone a potential new friend since people for some unfathomable, unknown, strange reason warm up to me really fast.

 

But oh well... Bit of a rambling there...

 

I'm not really a coffee knower either, I'm more of a thick hot stuff drinker, haha.

Yeah...!

 

...I think. I don't even know what it should look like, cylinder shaped's all I know really so that could be it.

 

I'm thinking about something that works with full grains, not powder format.

Well that would do it, and is completely manual.  Though I would at least grind the bean slightly, personally.

Or you could just chew the beans directly. Saves time and gets you the pure taste.

Yipes!  Isn't that bitter?  I have heard of chocolate covered coffee beans...never tried.

Suppose so. I've never tried it, but I imagine it's about as pleasant as chewing tea leaves.
