Was developer options the trick? If so it's good to know for future reference. If not what was the missing link?Dude, I did it! Finally I transferred all these pics that had been sitting on my phone since late November. Here ya go:

Anybody know what kind of paint would set well on little plastic luchador dolls?
you'll want to scrub them with Dettoll, first, then use a sandable auto primer. After that, dollar store acrylics will work fine(Appletree, available at Walmart, seems to be the cheap brand of choice).
But as you'll want to play with them, when you're done painting I recommend a clear wood varnish to keep the paint from rubbing off, letting it dry for at least 48 hours before handling.
WowI had a fucking Alabama moment.
Yesterday I was in a bar and saw this astoundingly beautiful woman. Chatted with her and went to her place. Turned out that my grandfather and her grandfather are twins! I hate this. I actually fell for her...
Future floor polish actually is a great acrylic clear coat. I've used it on plastic models for years. Very tough, cheap and if you screw it up (cat hair, dust, glue boogers etc), it can be removed with ammonia based window cleaner.
Finally got a Weber. Not as classic as what you're talking about but a big step up for the Bunch Family.

I hope so. Up until now I've been buying the cheapest grill about every three years and tossing it due to rust or poor performance. This one was quite a bit more money. It needs to last nine years.We are using the same Weber charcoal grill that my wife owned before we met. It must be 20 years old and doesn’t have any rust. Weber is quality.
It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that. The PK isn't really more complicated, either; the big attraction for me was not having to buy another grill ever again.Finally got a Weber. Not as classic as what you're talking about but a big step up for the Bunch Family.
That was only one time, and proof that things don't always go as you planned. Sometimes, you get a little rain. Sometimes, a fun summer BBQ turns into an exploration of the dark underbelly of the American psyche.I was picturing this. (NSFW is "David Lynch" wasn't enough of a clue)
I've used other brands, but I chalk it up more to my laziness of sometimes not getting them covered in time.We are using the same Weber charcoal grill that my wife owned before we met. It must be 20 years old and doesn’t have any rust. Weber is quality.
It needs to be the great grandparents being the siblings for it to be second cousins.So you are second cousins then.
It’s legal in all 50 states.
Yes it was. I had to tap "MIUI Version" a number of times repeatedly. Very strange. Is this common nowadays?Was developer options the trick? If so it's good to know for future reference. If not what was the missing link?

I wouldn't care. But I have no wish to procreate.I had a fucking Alabama moment.

And we also got these three posable action figures. These are larger. El Santo (left) and La Parka Jr. (right) were bought in Oaxaca, Blue Demon (middle) was bought in Mexico City. It's possible that El Santo is actually El Hijo del Santo; I am not up on the minutiae of the iconography that might distinguish them. Blue Demon might also be Blue Demon Jr.
Ha ha--I was wondering why you talking about them that way--mine are not even close to that quality. If mine looked like those, I wouldn't need to paint them! Now you know why mine came from a street vendor in a Ziploc bag of six with no frills, sloppy paint, cheap plastic capes, for something like $2 for all six...and why I have 24 of them! Got them, I believe, on the same visit when I acquired this:Dumarest OK, the wrestlers depicted in my book do appear to be on a different level regarding painting and additional decoration, but the moulds used are the same. If I ever come across a set painted as nicely as these I'm going to leave them in their packaging while on display.

So you are second cousins then.

Yeah! You're correct. I'm apparently too tired, so I fumbled my "trying to think" roll.Not how I understand it. First cousins share grandparents, Second Cousins share great--grandparents. Great-Grandparents being siblings makes you Third Cousins.
Just a few weeks ago I ate at a Mexican restaurant that had that poster hanging. Chicken with mole sauce. Very tasty.Pooh and Piglet happily preside over the Mexico/Alta California-themed dining room en mi casa from their perch a few feet away from other thematically appropriate art including this classic poster:

Which mole?
Have you ever played V&V? I'd kind of like to try it out again. Last time I played was maybe 2013 or 2014 but the session went awry as one of the players was a guy I'd never met before and even though I discussed expectations and genre conventions before we started, he then utterly disregarded everything we'd all agreed to: Bronze Age Marvel ideals, heroes are essentially good even if flawed, etc. It was an impromptu pickup game at a public venue with a couple of guys I knew plus a guy and a gal who asked to play when they saw I had the game and a scenario prepped. I still have the scenario ready to go. Maybe someday I'll get to use it without a jackass at the table.Passed by a yard sale today, stopped in on a whim, not exactly expecting much of interest.
Picked up, for a buck a pop, not only a bunch of Time-Life 'Time Capsule' books, but also scored a copy of Villains & Vigilantes (2nd edition) and about a dozen adventure modules for said system. The latter I especially would have never expected to see here in Butthole, GA.
I've never seen a FLGS with so much space.A break in the action during today's session at my FLGS. The party had just finished a brutal fight against frenzied ape-men and everyone needed a breather.

Next time I find myself at that restaurant (and city), I'll check. It might happen around Christmas.My guess is you either had mole negro or mole poblano.
Ooh, sounds good. Which game was that? AS&SH?A break in the action during today's session at my FLGS. The party had just finished a brutal fight against frenzied ape-men and everyone needed a breather.

Going to see the Rolling Stones tonight. I predict they will end the show with a version of "Satisfaction" that is at least ten minutes long. Truthfully, I'm not that much of a Rolling Stones fan, but my best friend is a huge fan, so when he suggested we go, I said sure.
My FLGS leases a clubhouse next door. For $3 you can game from 12pm-12am. They provide dozens of house games in case you want to check out that $100 board game before you buy it. A lot of guys show up to to just chill and paint/model miniatures. It's a pretty good deal and walking distance from my house so I can't complain. I just wish there were more couples who gamed.I've never seen a FLGS with so much space.
AS&SH setting, OSR-style 5e rules.Ooh, sounds good. Which game was that? AS&SH?
Hehe. My friend is on testosterone replacement therapy. Apparently he has very low testosterone. One side effect was I guess random estrogen boosts. He described a day where for no reason he couldn't stop crying. His wife said 'Now you have a clue why that happens to me sometimes!'Got my PowerA Pro Controller substitute today-- no wireless and no rumble, but those are my least favorite features of "real" controllers.
Today should be starting my testosterone replacement. This shit is going to make me a goddamned Sexual Tyrannosaurus.
