It’s poseable and thus can fit spaces from ~5″ x 9′ down to maybe 2’x2′ it can also overlap other mocs and other mocs can overlap it. Rather than trying to cover all those possibliities I’d still like to see the option to claim table…Read more

The build challenge thread on discord (I believe the aim is monthly on that) does not replace the quarterly build challenges for meetings as discussed here. It is in addition too. The key here is that at least half our active members don’t use discord. And those that do don’t necessarily do it regularly. These forums are the…Read more

Doesn’t have to be for Q2 but I think it would be cool to do a color pop challenge. The most famous example is probably the girl in the red coat from “Schindler’s List”. However, if you google “Color Pop Photography” you’ll see many examples of this technique in practice. The main gist of…Read more

That might determine what we do for the challenge. As if it’s prior to Summer reading set ups, we might leverage it for that purpose.

If we already have a next challenge, then the new idea gets pushed out to the next open meeting. i.e. there really isn’t any actual procedure per se. I am not sure, but I don’t think we had a challenge in place yet for Q2.

House centipiedes are completely harmless to people and houses and completely lethal to all the other pests. Good luck catching them anyways.
