Monster Hunter Wilds is just around the corner, and I wanted to prepare at least one more FREE instructions for a MHWilds monster! Click HERE to build your own Quematrice!
Note: it does use a relatively new/rare color, Reddish-Orange. In a year's time I expect the cost of these pieces to level out. Until then, be wary that they might not even be available in bulk on Bricklink yet.

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SCIENTISTS AT THE SCHMIDT OCEAN INSTITUTE HAVE FOOTAGE OF A LIVE COLOSSAL SQUID FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hughes, searching the break room fridge: Who took my food? ROY-
Hughes, calmed down: That was me 10 minutes ago, I was mad but friendship is more important-
Hughes, irritated: That was me 15 seconds ago. Screw it. [Bursts into Roy's office with a knife] ROY!!
This is a very powerful image.
if youâd shown me this image a year ago i wouldve said it was the worst photoshop id ever seenÂ

Heâs just like ânah bro I wonât hurt you.â
(Context, party is currently traveling with a 5 year old and two of their dadâs coworkers, because the dad has gone missing due to something the party did)
Player, describing what they need to be doing: Okay so we should try to get weapons, then I should rest since I got burned, oh, and we should get the child medicine since we donât know if itâs the flu or some magic disease.
Dm, confused: The child isnât infected?
Player: no, no, not the small one, yâknow, THE CHILD
Dm: Ah, so not the actual toddler in your care, the grown man youâve decided is a child.
Player: WE CAN ADOPT HIM
Dm: Heâs of zero use to you, Heâs married, he has a job, he has children-
Player: WE CAN FIX THAT
Dm: âŚI am terrified of what that implies

Todays biggest clowns is the state of Germany for going through to shut down all their nuclear powerplants by 2022 and playing right into atomphobia and what the coal and natural gas giants want
Hey hey... fuck nuclear power.
okay smooth brain
Yeah bro we should totally get rid of the closest thing to clean energy humanity has ever achieved instead of trying to improve and perfect it
The only reason nuclear waste exists is because we have literally never updated out 1940's designs. We still use crude uranium-and-water reactors, which are grossly inefficient. The only reason those spent fuel rods remain dangerous for 10,000 years is the fact that 90% of it is still enriched uranium.
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, from 1965 to 1969, we operated a Molten Salt Reactor. Because the nuclear fuel, thorium, is dissolved into a liquid fluoride salt, this class of reactor can be immune to meltdown.
If the safety system ever loses power or the core ever overheats, the molten salt will simply melt through a plugged drain and the bottom and pour into a shielded chamber, where it cools and solidifies. It's walk-away safe.
Thorium doesn't need to be enriched for use as a nuclear fuel. We have vast stocks of it already mined, because it's considered a waste product of heavy metal refinery. It's more common than uranium ore, it's safer to mine, and it's not good for building nuclear weapons.
Sadly, that's why thorium-fuelled MSRs didn't become the standard. Every nation wealthy enough to build reactors wanted to use uranium because it could also build nuclear bombs as a Cold War deterrent.
We're now less interested in bombs and more interested in the high efficiency of thorium MSRs. The longest lasting waste isotope they produce is Cesium-137, with a half life of only 30.17 years. After only 300 years, it's less radioactive than natural uranium ore.
Unlike boiling water reactors, thorium MSRs operate at very low pressure. Any leaks can be patched easily because there wouldn't be an explosive decompression.
The liquid salt is stable under intense heat and radiation, unlike water, which can break down into highly flammable hydrogen gas.
Best of all, the thorium fission cycle is long and complex. It can be used to make breeder reactors, which produce more fuel than they need to operate, or waste burner reactors, which can run on "spent" uranium.
We could meet 100% of US electrical demand with zero carbon emissions, using only the thorium we already have mined, for 1,000 years at current levels.
Those reactors could be literally meltdown-proof, useless for bombs, and consume existing nuclear waste.
This literally solves every problem associated with nuclear power, and it was proven to work back in 1965.
Solar and wind are great, but we can't store that power without batteries made from volatile, toxic rare earth metals like lithium. Those batteries are expensive, dangerous, and demand a lengthy carbon-emitting refinement process.
If you still argue against nuclear power knowing all this, then you're willfully ignorant and you're part of the problem.

STORY TIME!
Ok so when I was doing a security job on a college campus, the geology club on said campus was having their mineral and fossil sale (which is where the club gets the vast majority of its funds for the year). They had some really cool shit but their sales techniques were⌠uh, they were bad, just really terrible. They set up the tables, put all their stuff out, hung a sign up⌠and then sat there, occasionally mentioning quietly to one or two passersby âHey weâre having our mineral and fossil sale if you want any.â Very boring, overly factual, not very attention grabbing.
Now Iâm a fuckin nerd so Iâm all over this shit (the sale was literally a foot away from my security post so I wasnât even getting in trouble for spending literal hours ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the really cool stuff they had). And me being the type of nerd who must SHARE ALL THE THINGS when I find cool stuff (and who also has 18 years of customer service/retail experience to draw on), I start trying to get some of the literal hundreds of students walking by to get some of the cool things. The club only needed a couple hundred bucks and we were on the largest campus in the state so they should have been making their goal easy but almost no one was biting. So my âmust share the thingâ nerdiness teamed up with my âmust help all the peopleâ-ness and I did my best to pitch in and get them more sales.
Now, it was two days before valentines and a lot of the people walking by were dudes. So I start trying to get them interested with comments like âhey come check out the cool stuff you could get for your bae!â
One group of dudes paused but it didnât seem like they were gonna stop and get any of the cool things, so I go âNo, seriously, chicks dig this shit, you literally cannot go wrong here. Thereâs fossils and cute little carvings of manta rays and kitties, and literal gemstones here; that box is full of fucking EMERALDS that are 3 for $5. GET. SOME.â
They didnât believe me that the ladies would go nuts for âa bunch of shiny rocks.â So I decide to prove it to them. And in the most booming voice I can muster (and I can muster quite a bit after a decade of choir classes) and yell âTHEY HAVE SHINY ROCKS OVER HERE AND THEYâRE REALLY COOL!â
Literally instantly, three separate groups of ladies look straight at the tables and make a beeline for them, all of them saying some variation of âWait, did you say shiny rocks? WHERE?! WHAT KIND?! OMG!â Suddenly a dozen or so different gals (and several dudes), who seconds ago were only thinking about getting to class, stopped in their tracks to detour to the table full of shiny rocks. Only two left without buying at least one thing.
The dudes Iâd been talking to before were bewildered but convinced, so they start looking for the best shiny rocks they can get to give their SOs. Several of them came back a few days later to inform me that my seemingly ludicrous advice of âget them shiny rocksâ had gotten them laid or scored them a date.
So, remember kids, GET THE BAE A SHINY ROCK. That shit WORKS.
