Ah that actually does make sense!

Yeah me too I thought it was weird then I saw the name. Still think it's weird though!

This channel is a mirror of that subreddit. I'm not sure what the point is though, so we can read reddit comments without visiting the site?

Hey it doesn't hurt to ask, hopefully if they don't produce the earplugs they might be able to tell you where to go. Good luck!!

I'm not sure but I doubt it. They inject some silicone into your ears with something that looks like a caulking gun, then the mold gets sent off to make the earplugs, which were then mailed to me. Are there places around you that sell hearing aids? They might sell those there. If it's any help I'm in France, so it's definitely possible to get them made in Europe.

The only thing I've found that works well for me are custom earplugs. The silicone ones that look like this:

They were expensive (about €100 for the pair), and I had to go to an audiologist to get them made. I've had mine for over 5 years now and can honestly say they have saved my sanity. I live next to a loud street and it was impossible to sleep without them.

Parc Astérix, especially if you like rollercoasters. There are fast pass bundle options for a lot of the main rides as well. Halloween is also a great time to go, they have a bunch of great haunted houses and the park is open after hours.

You can't tell us this story and not tell us how it ends!

I don't know about the physics part, but the picture is taken from this video:

I highly recommend this channel, they have a bunch of funny videos with animal facts.

(Another thing to watch out for is Yugioh! - my son is OBSESSED with the card game and it’s bankrupting us!!! 😆 )

Ha, we have the same issue but with Magic the Gathering. You'll definitely want to keep your son away from MtG if you want to avoid bankruptcy 😭

Why did you pick 40k? (self.warhammer40k)

My son is starting to get into Warhammer and so far he's learned the mechanics of Age of Sigmar, but he still isn't sure what road to go down. Normally he'd go for whatever my brother in law is into (he introduced him to MTG, obviously the gateway drug) but he's not deep into Warhammer yet (BiL was gifted a Necromunda squad) so my son will have to figure it out for himself.

Assuming most people here picked 40k over Age of Sigmar, I'm curious to know what motivated your choice? He's painted a few random figurines he was gifted, but is now giving serious thought into going further. We'd welcome any tips on where to start!

A resident Tawny Owl sitting cosy in their nest. The photo was taken last week in Paris, this particular nest has been used by tawny owls for at least 10 years (likely the same owl?)

@[email protected] is singlehandedly keeping this place alive so I thought I'd also participate and share a photo I took last month. This is a burrowing owl I photographed on the grounds of a hotel in Brasilia. A couple of these guys made their burrow in a little ~~hole~~ hill at the bottom of the garden and were seemingly unbothered by hotel guests that were walking past. I have a couple of other shots but this is my favourite. Thanks for all your superb owl posts anon6789!
