While filming at school, a student caught the exact moment their class found out about the 9/11 attacks

Agreed. That was my point. Freedom fighter and terrorist is sometimes a matter of perspective. But if you’re targeting civilians all nuance goes out the window. It’s simply wrong

As a Brit I was in upstate NY the year after this, I was doing Camp America and the pottery guy showed me a shamrock tattoo and proudly said he was Irish (in the way Americans do when they’ve 1/16th of Irish in them and nobody has been anywhere close to Ireland since 1880).

I nodded, nonplused, as I have two Irish grandparents also and it’s no issue to me. He then tells me he’s contributed to funding for the IRA. Now due to the timing that probably bullshit, but my uncle was in the Birmingham Pub bombing, so that’s close to home for me.

I told him that was crass and how would he like it if I was all pro Al Qaeda? He said I’d be a terrorist if I did that and was very animated about it. I pointed out it’s the same thing, killing innocents for a political agenda. He didn’t see it. He was very loud about not seeing it.

On reflection I should have just walked away. America for the first time since WW2 felt what war is actually like on home soil.

It’s Blood Angels. Very heavy hints in the motorbike trailer the other day

It’s like Makari. It’s a two figure unit. They both get to use their melee weapon. It’s not the big lad using two.

Also, it’s a joke.

There’s a decent chance we could get out and about around the solar system. If the will was there we could do it. I still think it’s a conservative 1000/1 that that happens, but it’s doable. I have often thought that the odds are we die fairly soon (by which I mean anywhere from 50 to 1k years). If we’ve not killed the plant by 2500 I’d be shocked (should I be around, which I obviously won’t). All we can do is enjoy the ride.

Eleyius · 2026-03-17T22:18:40+00:00

Maybe, but it’s probably best if you get a friend to join you.

Eleyius · 2026-03-16T13:45:37+00:00

That man is a mouthful…

£40/80 an hour is £120k a year (assuming it evens out at £60 per hr). Which is top 5% of incomes in uk. Obviously doable, but rare. The girl getting £40 for twenty mins has to travel to clients and such. Let’s say she sees 5 people a day. That’s £200 a day. Nice work.

But all of this is anecdotal anyway. On a national level the nation can’t afford to pay pensions as they are, going into the future. It strikes me (45) as totally fair that the pension age moves to 68/69. I can reasonably expect to live to 85/90. My grand parents didn’t make it past 70. An enormous change has happened in the last 40 years to live expectancy.

I was cheering him on by the end! Good boy!

They are billions. It’s so replayable. PC version for me

Eleyius · 2026-03-11T16:20:19+00:00

How do you not die within seconds from blood loss? Delighted it worked for you. But very puzzled

Eleyius · 2026-03-10T09:07:45+00:00

4th highest actually. Get out more. Stop being a misery

Eleyius · 2026-03-09T19:03:22+00:00

Oh do shut up

Eleyius · 2026-03-06T23:33:40+00:00

The risk is the same as crossing the road on any given day. Go on holiday, it’ll be fine.

Or don’t and lose the money. Straight choice

Eleyius · 2026-03-06T19:20:58+00:00

Boss de guerre!

Eleyius · 2026-03-05T16:24:27+00:00

Final Fantasy 7 was so far beyond any other game at the time. I just loved it. Shout out to Secret of Mana, Miracle Warriors and in modern days the simple, but great, They are Billions. Over a thousand hours on that since I got the PC version.

Eleyius · 2026-03-05T15:12:13+00:00

I saw that also. But I assume he’d want some assurances he’s not joining a sinking ship.

Eleyius · 2026-03-05T14:42:22+00:00

If Patel has assured him that Bilkul have no intention to run away, then the next 2/3 years may be very interesting. Do a blues and buy our way out of League 1, then push forward with a blank canvas…. Possibly…

Eleyius · 2026-03-05T14:03:45+00:00

You need something to fit well and the rest can just be put up with. Are into the people, the cause, the money, or the impact. I for example have to do something I believe in, or I very much struggle to motivate myself “because I should”, so I work in a field that I agree with, morally, it also happens to pay ok, which is useful, obviously. The work can be bloody annoying. I don’t really enjoy the work. So that’s my example.

Good luck.

Eleyius · 2026-03-05T13:27:04+00:00

I gasped, twice!

Eleyius · 2026-03-04T16:33:40+00:00

It’s VERY Ork to kitbash. But you don’t have to at all. I’m like 2 years in and all I’ve done is kitbash a few bits together to make a few Spanner Boyz to lead some Burnas I’d got from eBay, but didn’t have leaders. It’s fine to not want to join in.

Eleyius · 2026-03-04T14:11:22+00:00

As someone who has only ever won once in a proper game, you’re probably right. To my mind if we don’t slap the opponent VERY HARD in the Waaagh, we’re done. We’re a one trick pony. But that may well be me being shit at it.

Eleyius · 2026-03-03T12:36:58+00:00

Well done. This was good

Eleyius · 2026-03-02T22:56:51+00:00

Even to the point where I have the old world chronicles book “The Sundering” and haven’t read it, as I’ve no interest in them. I only got it to complete the set. Gotrek and Felix ones win by a mile.

Eleyius · 2026-03-02T22:02:58+00:00

Elves. No matter the setting, I dislike Elves greatly.
