Some pieces are pretty rare and you can likely search for sets that just include those specific pieces, but it is admittedly hard to quantify what's rare if you don't know Lego.

As an example though, the larger minifigures like you have right in the middle were not common at all, you're looking at maybe 5-6 potential sets at most for that guy. Searching for the more standard minifigures will probably put you on a good path too, parts can be mixed and matched, but the chest pieces will likely be the rarest items. Extra large pieces like the boat piece the person on the side seems to be holding are another good option.

Man, feel like Norse iconography might be almost a lost cause here. I was looking into getting a Thor's Hammer tattoo years ago... Every variation you can think of has been co-opted by a Nazi group somewhere. I think it was the FBI that used to keep a database of symbols linked to terrorist groups, most of it was various flavors of Nazis and most of that was symbols stolen from Norse culture.

No one to cheer for, we don't do good guys anymore, just various levels of bad guys fighting between themselves.

I get you, but I think at a certain point if we're relying on it being properly implemented and a large group isn't then I'd say we're back on denuvo as the party at fault for not addressing it and preventing it.

It sucks, but we have to expect and plan for when people are stupid to a point because that is always going to be a key source of failure.

As someone who used to work in IT support, that mirrors real conversations I had daily with people you'd all expect to be competent.

Plus side, you won't have to worry about it for long.

Until this situation, I would have been with you, but I think China might have realized that if they play their cards right there's a world where they just control Russia some day. If things get especially rough, I think China might play neutral.

I know right, there's a lot of backstory and some 'you had to be there' for this one, but I appreciate it.

Turn off the breaker before you work on anything, if you aren't 100% positive that you've got the right breaker, turn off the main breaker, if you still aren't sure, just stop. Always do a pull test after joining two wires and apply electrical tape liberally. Be wary of aluminum wiring and even more so for knob and tube if you ever see it. You'll eventually hit a point where you realize you can get creative with the materials you use and the way you do things, don't do that. This is also about the time you'll start to feel confident in your skills as an electrician, this is when you're going to skip something basic and electrocute yourself, it will probably be minor and you'll be sore for a week and feel 10 years older. Sometimes though it's not minor, it's an electrician meme, but we all have the "Remember kids, Electricity will kill you" sticker.

If you remember all that, you're probably good to install the basement outlet, you'll probably have local building codes to adhere to, but they're usually not a major burden to comply with. For your chime, do you know if you have a doorbell transformer at all (and are you sure it's getting power if so) or where the wires on your doorbell go to?

The ork is stronger, but that strength is not necessarily equally distributed. Your ability to stop his arm in the position you're moving into may be greater than his ability to swing that axe in the way he has planned. Kind of the key to a lot of the concepts in various martial arts. Does look like kind of a wild swing on the part of the Ork.
