I guess this is true of the Orks too.

The Emperor of Mankind preached the Imperial Truth: Atheism, Logic, and Humanity. There are no gods. Which is a lie because gods do exist.
Then he was betrayed, mostly killed, and enshrined on the Golden Throne where 10,000 psychics are sacrificed per day to keep him alive.
And then his empire started preaching the Imperial Creed: That he is the God Emperor. A title he tried desperately to avoid.

Are the Tyranids actually evil? They’re horrific from our point of view but do they even have the concept of evil? They’re just hungry.

But but I’ve put soooo many nice coins into the female machine! When do I get a sex out?
- Comment on Paid for by...boobs? 2 weeks ago:
That’s the whole conservative narrative: The success of the sex worker, the minority, the queer, is at the expense of the moral white man. All to distract that the actual reason things are worse is because of the rich man.

At my company it depends on expected response time, I think up to your salary for the fastest response tiers. And some roles can exchange for time off.

That would just kill all life I guess?

How so? Adding an extra electron will increase the repulsion between atoms. Of course each atom may quickly shed the electron as a current.

Pretty sure this would cause most matter to come apart.

IIRC: It was a 3D printed intake using those carbon fiber filaments that aren’t really carbon fiber. However the main failure was the assumption that the intake wouldn’t get hot, but it did.

It seems like it had to charge multiple times?
On a single charge, it can travel up to 40 nautical miles at cruising speed.

I thought so too originally but I ended up enjoy the co-op missions for a while. I’ve moved on since then but it’s been worthwhile for me.
Note that you can play those missions solo, but the game difficulty doesn’t adjust based on number is human players so it’s less efficient.

Unfortunately most of the game mechanics occur in multiplayer. There’s no classes or upgrades available in the campaign.

But there’s really not that much debris. Certain orbits can get packed but there’s plenty of availability. Also stuff in LEO deorbits pretty fast.

It would have to be an experimental aircraft. Someone died recently when they installed a 3D printed intake that melted on their experimental single seater.

- Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded 2 months ago:
I think there’s usually going to be more bouldering gyms just because they’re easier to build.
In general over here in the western US we’ll use rock climbing to refer to both. Usually we’ll just say sport climbing, top rope, lead, to refer to rope climbs.

What region of the world are you in if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve noticed that some people refer to bouldering as separate from rock climbing rather than as a subcategory.

- Comment on What an unprocessed photo looks like 2 months ago:
There are some sensors that have each color stacked vertically instead of using a Bayer filter. Don’t think they’re popular because the low light performance is worse.
- Comment on "Man, I used to beat this level so easily when I was younger..." Me now not realizing I did it on Easy mode 3 months ago:
Some games are just too massive. I don’t usually use step by step guides but I use maps heavily. It’s just not fun to waste time looking for an obscure item.
And I think games have a lot more customizable difficulty these days instead of just one level. Which is a good thing as it makes them more accessible.
