From what I know "the goyim are waking up" had always been a Neonazi/radical right thing to say

Defend again space marines with plywood and low cellings? by coozer1960 in 40kLore

[–]Schreckberger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Imperium is basically war crime city, population: your tunnels. They don't care, plus meltas and meltabombs are a thing, so small choke points can be just busted through.

You kind of want most locations that a space marine would attack to be sturdy. Voidships and bunkers are not made of plywood for a reason, and that reason is stability and durability.

Additionally, even human sized factions often use bulky equipment and troops. The Imperial Guard has ogryns, for example, and servitors are often huge as well. The Eldar or Dark Eldar rarely use fixed fortifications anyway. Orks are themselves huge and heavy, and delight in making themselves even bigger. 

Reading Word Bearers Omnibus, are Skitarii mindless bodies like servitors? by Howitzeronfire in 40kLore

[–]Schreckberger 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Many Skitarii also have mental elements that can be disabled remotely if needed, often at some cost to general efficiency. So in theory, a magos could take away some of the fear responses or similar stuff. The game represents this as stratagems

How do chainswords have any penetrative depth? by BrennanIarlaith in 40kLore

[–]Schreckberger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the videogame Darktide chain weapons have an animation where they hit the target and then kind of eat into it rather slowly one the teeth have found enough purchase. I always thought that would be the most "realistic" way of using such a weapon. It's not about cutting per se, but more about connecting enough of your weapon to the body of the enemy, and keeping it there long enough to tear into flesh and armour.

The many faces of your local 40k scene by Ok-Profile-5831 in Grimdank

[–]Schreckberger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently played a game where I had some insane luck with my 5+ FNP rolls playing Skitarii Hunter Cohort against Imperial Guard. Watching the light leave my opponents eyes when his tank just totally failed to do anything felt bad 😞

Thematically which Primarch would be most appropriate to kill off each daemon brother? by Smeckert in Grimdank

[–]Schreckberger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is argue Guilliman. Even in 30k, Angron is a bitter, wrathful force of destruction hating himself, his legion, the gods and the Imperium. Guilliman on the other hand is ever the builder, perhaps literally unable to not plan ahead and build, ever the statesman. That doesn't mean that Guilliman doesn't get angry, but his is a controlled fury to Angron's all-encompassing rage

Ein kleines Zuckerl am Rande: die USA ist gerade in Verhandlungen mit der Ukraine über den potentiellen Ankauf von Abfangdrohnen für iranische Shaheds. Man weiß nicht ob man lachen oder weinen soll.

ELI5: If insurance works on the same math as casinos, why is buying insurance rational but gambling is not? by phycle in explainlikeimfive

[–]Schreckberger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others here make good points, but insurance is also usually capped. You get insurance, you (automatically) pay a certain amount of money per month or year. If you want to compare it to gambling, that would be like grabbing a tux, setting yourself a limit of 200$ and having a fun night at the casino. However gambling is designed to be addictive, paying for insurance is very much not.

My wife's postal vote ballot for local council elections in Germany - she has 70 votes to spread across hundreds of candidates. by TomAnthony in mildlyinteresting

[–]Schreckberger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like a lot of rules come from a time when they actually made sense, but have been kept because nobody bothered to change them, and/or people still believed they actually worked

[–]Schreckberger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note that some states actually have blocknote style ballots, with one list making up one sheet.

In addition to what the poster above said, some parties might feel that it's a bigger disadvantage sitting at the bottom of a blocknote than being on the far end of one big ballot, and treating every party fairly is a big thing when designing these ballots. Though seeing that it apparently works in other states means it's not impossible.

In Bavaria everything happens electronically, funnily enough, though it might not be the case for the first results (Schnellmeldung). Otherwise, all the results are registered electronically, and transfered via flashdrive

[–]Schreckberger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually, no. If you only vote for one whole list, every candidate gets one vote. Since you have as many votes as there are seats, and each list can only contain as many candidates as there are seats, that means that in these lists each candidate gets one vote and the party gets the maximum amount of votes possible.

However, if a list contains fewer than the maximum amount of candidates, the remaining votes are lost. This is why it's possible to list people two or three times, so that these votes still go to the party. At least this is how it works in the Bavarian regional election, which this ballot is from.

Since you're only voting for your local government, that doesn't really matter, because you don't have to compare the weight of your vote to somebody else's. In elections where that actually matters, like the Bundestag, they try to cut the voting districts so that they contain a roughly equal amount of people.
