For the past seven years, I've thought Neal Shusterman was a woman

Let me explain.

I read Arc of the Scythe all the way back in high school in 2019. My English teacher saw me reading the first book and recommended to me the Unwind book. I swear she misgendered Neal Shusterman for me, cause for the next seven years I've always assumed he was a woman. Neal Shuster-MAN. Neal's not even unisex.

If it wasn't that, it might have been a subconscious association with Arc of the Scythe and the Hunger Games. Since that series had a female lead and author, I must have assumed Neal Shusterman was also a woman. I've read all three books and Unwind and UnWholly, and I must have never paid attention to the review blurbs. I don't think he had an author portrait on the dust jacket either.

Anyway, after not reading a single book for nearly two years, I got a Kobo last week to start reading again. I was talking to a friend about all the books I've read, and brought up Arc of the Scythe. I definitely misgendered him in that conversation. Perusing through my local library, I saw that they had an eBook copy of Gleanings, which I've never read. I go to look up the word count, and boom: Neil deGrasse Tyson's long lost twin is staring right at me.

Thought it was kind of a funny story so I'm posting it here.

I’ve always thought my handwriting was too messy. Coin for scale.

This is what my best handwriting looks like (when I try to make it look nice).

I always think I alter the scale, angle, and spacing of the words and letter (little consistency).

Medieval Townhall (WIP)

Currently building a townhall for my medieval city. It’s based off of the Wernigerode Townhall in Germany.

Can’t decide which windows are the best. Banners look better, but glass will allow natural light for the interior rooms (which I intend to build later).

Am currently leaning towards the first option.

Recommendations for server host for small local server (<10 players), and maybe a few QoL mods (<20)? How much GB Ram would I need?

Sorry if this has been repeated, I don't have much experience with server hosting. I dislike Java Realms render distance cap and inability to have mods. Right now, I'm looking at Godlike and Apex hosting. I'm thinking this server will last a few months, budget is about $10-15 CAD/month.

For people with similar experiences, which server host did you get?

Vantage Questions: Is 3 inches the maximum climb? Can operatives climb through floors? Can operatives stack vantage's accurate 2 with WR accurate 1 for accurate 3?

We've just gotten into killteam recently and have been playing on Volkus. I was rereading the rules, and realized we might have been climbing wrong. Previously, we've been doing each climb on this image.

But under my new understand, each of these climbs don't work? Red cannot climb more than 3 inches. Green cannot climb through floors. Yellow is not within 1 inch horizontally of vantage terrain. Is this correct?

If so, it seems really hard to utilize vantage terrain. Like you can only climb up through the sides? We haven't used equipment yet, so is this why ladders are important? And if you haven't thought ahead and put ladders somewhere, it's just impossible to climb most vantage?

Additionally, Volkus has that one large ruin with a second floor sniper's perch. Without ladders, it would seem to be really hard to get up there.

Last question, I know accurate 1 can stack with accurate 1 to give accurate 2. But if you are more than 4 inches higher from your target, rules say you get accurate 2? Can that stack with accurate 1 (from Death Korps siege warfare for example) to give accurate 3? Rules were a bit confusing on that.
