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.

Oh my.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word

Edit: Omg Decathlon. A hybrid word in the Olympics...an event with Greek roots. #Sad

Its just a silly notion that you either choose a Greek root or a Latin root for a word. No mixing, just "wrong"😊

It bugs me less than directly translating English expression into Norwegian (my native toung). Some of them just sounds weird

What the fuck does the world bank need to advertise for?

Abolishing the word "automobile" since it mixes Greek and latin.
