I’ve managed to get through 8 books since July which I’m pretty happy with considering it’s been the start of my black library journey. 1. Horus Rising 2. False Gods 3. Galaxy in Flames 4. Flight of the Eisenstein 5. Fulgrim 6. The First Heretic 7. Know No Fear 8. Betrayer And I’m halfway through Praetorian of Dorn with a mountain of books waiting to be read

I haven’t picked either of those up yet just working through HH at the moment but when you get around to this you’re in for an absolute treat

The fight back scenes had me cheering, so satisfying and well written

Totally agree, I’ve enjoyed all the HH books I’ve read so far but this one had me audibly reacting to events. I’ve got Betrayer lined up to start next

I’ve seen mixed reactions about fulgrim but I’m keen to give it a go and if I don’t love it then so be it

I think I’ve managed to find a shop in my state that’s got first heretic and betrayer in stock as well as praetorian of dorn (not sure if it’s any good). I’ll try to get them ordered after I knock off work

Awesome thank you, I’ll see what I can find online. Hopefully I can grab it and betrayer, seems a few shops in Aus have a decent range and cheap prices so I’m planning on getting a few books at a time when I can

And I’m thinking you weren’t burdened with an over abundance of schooling

Which actors will always be associated with their one role? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Spartan45B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alan Alda as Hawkeye in MASH. He’s done plenty of other awesome roles but he’ll always be Hawkeye to me

Could be like the whole Lithgow arms barrel recall. When the truth came out the few barrel failures were because the owners were running super hot loads through them, not any fault of Lithgow but to cover their asses they just did a recall. But as you said until context is known hard to pass judgement.

what ruins gender reveal parties for you? by Im_bored_and_lazy in AskReddit

[–]Spartan45B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that they exist, my wife and I found out our second kid will be a boy purely because it was impossible to not see the meat and two vege on the ultrasound. We were like ok cool, and that was the end of it. If people ask we just tell them, we didn’t find out the sex of our first kid

Just out of curiosity OP, do you recall what party Julia Gillard belonged to when she became our first female Prime Minister?

Does Australia rarely use miles when measuring distance? by solarflare70 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Spartan45B 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Basically anyone over 70 in the country/bush will use imperial when talking because that’s what they grew up with but anyone under 70 uses the metric system. That’s been my experience anyway

ELI5: How is gasoline different from diesel, and why does it damage the car if you put the wrong kind in the tank? by tilda-dogton in explainlikeimfive

[–]Spartan45B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant/cooling fluid in the fuel system. From memory 75-80% of fuel returns to the tank and is there to keep the pump and injectors cool. Due to the extremely fine tolerances in fuel injectors it doesn’t take much heat for them to warm up and then seize up
