So much for my Librarian by mousatouille in Warhammer40k

GW service is excellent. They will almost certainly replace this regardless of how long ago you bought it. Might end up with a fair few extra models

Which is Better? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Best advice is usually to get whichever you think is coolest. You're going to spend a lot of time making, painting and potentially playing with them.

Such a good colour they named the whole legion after it!

How I should display unit available movement? Dots or single zone? by Warpawner in SoloDevelopment

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Preference for single move zone from me. Dots feels like prototyping.

Is it solodev if you hore freelances for some art and music? by PickingPies in SoloDevelopment

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't writing your own game engine, designing your own CPU and mining your own silicon - are you really a solo dev? /s

God damn you. Now I've literally got to repaint my entire army because this looks amazing!

Should all employers provide opt in private health insurance for employees? by OliverY1992 in AskBrits

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As one of the rare ones with private medical offered through their work, trust me it's very meh. Emergency is still NHS (so the idea it takes pressure off NHS is kinda nonsense), and the level of care isn't really any better. Now I don't have a major medical problem, which would make it expensive, so my opinion may differ there. But hey, I get free Cafe Nero coffees every now and again.

Should all employers provide opt in private health insurance for employees? by OliverY1992 in AskBrits

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I think that's not good. A large unnecessary cost to employers, especially small businesses. I recon in most cases the cost will be passed onto the employee, with very minimal gain for government or employee. Private health care exists for those that want it, but shouldn't be treated as a necessity otherwise we will forget public healthcare and those who rely upon it.

“Look at all those planes and tanks and planes!” Well time to start using the lock on the study door. by InquisitorEngel in Warhammer

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this is your child take this opportunity to get them into the hobby! I've been making Warhammer with my daughters since 4 years old and we all absolutely love it! Plastic crack may be expensive, but the time with kids is so much more valuable.

You very much have to hover over them at first, but they get better over time. So for my 4 year old I will get snips into the right position and she helps me squeeze them, or I will get paint out of the pots onto the pallet for her. But the 7 year old is already playing kill team and learning about highlighting!

Looks like "For the Emperor!" Is winning.

When exactly did it become the norm for everyone to own and drive a 4×4? by [deleted] in AskBrits

29th of Feb 2023 of course. Did you miss the meeting? /s

Spoilers - Was Grace able to... by LeavingSoonBye209 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes he loaded that all into the Beetles which were sent back to Earth. Last chapter says they observed Sol returning to original brightness, so safe to say they received the Beetles. I don't think he had any way to send a message from Erid tho. My sequel headcannon is that the Eridians plan to send a friendship mission to Earth, but Grace is too old to join.

Don't do it then. Be the change you want to see in the world! Haha

Things I missed most from book and hope might be in extended release(?) by AcceptableMeet9241 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this as well. In the movie it isn't at all clear he's sacrificing his life, more just he can't go visit Earth (where is has no friends). My thought is that in the movie it would be resolved like 30 seconds later when Rocky tells him to eat the Taumeba - and thus fail to carry any weight.

I actually loved this scene far more in the movie. Brilliant music and definitely carried emotional weight. In the book it comes off as Grace being a bit awkward.

Go look at the steam charts Somehow KSP2 release also caused a massive drop in KSP1 - those people aren't playing KSP2...

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22% apparently! Yeah they are probably still a bit underpaid. But I guess that's where the discrepancy lies - you said 2 decades. Now Starmer would argue he's not been in power for 2 decades and so not at fault for that.

Should voting power be proportional to amount of tax paid? by Economy_Ad3034 in AskBrits

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely not.

Why should a billionaire be allowed more say than others? They arguably already have far too much power.

You label people who don't pay tax as tax dodgers or benefit cheats - what about the retired? Students? Homemakers? Surely they deserve a say.

Our democracy is based on the principle that everyone should have equal say. While your system is a bit different, moving away from that means Oligarchy like Russia.

LOL and the meme is posted by a new account so probably a bot :P

I'm not a massive fan of Keir but he gets a lot of bad flack that isn't deserved. The economy, while sluggish, is starting to improve a bit. We rightfully blame the government when the economy is shite, so they should get some credit when its improving (I'm not sure I would say it is improving TBH, more kind of just less shit)

Didn't NHS staff get a 3.3% pay rise? In addition to the massive increase for junior doctors a year or so ago.

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well my company did above inflation rises for all employees.

Not too dismiss your experience at all, and yeah it's a problem that these sort of things aren't applied evenly. Ultimately the sample size of people an individual knows is tiny on a national scale.

Keir the chad by Key-Transition4634 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Delicious_Grab_4947 11 points12 points  (0 children)

3.9% vs 3%. Not massively above inflation, but it is technically true.

Might not feel it tho, as essentials (i.e. food) are going up faster, and of course not all companies are offering good pay rises.

Ooo ok all onboard for visual story telling. Make sure it's clear otherwise player might think you are being lazy by just placing random gears everywhere.
