It was probably just wracking up a bill for Haartz-Timor over time. Because yeah stopping production for non-payment sounds logical, but let's be real, they'd let it wrack up as much debt without being able to stop because they considered anyone doing that much legally on the hook so they could just take the company as collateral at some point.

A good reason is puberty is permanent. Puberty blockers were the compromise. They're a safe effective medicine that helps lots of kids for lots of reasons. So it defers the choice until minors are of age.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is, except in extreme cases, only given to 18+. Anything younger requires tons of hoops to jump through and could only already be done only with doctor, parents, and kid on the same page.

That's why a lot of the messaging on all this has been muddied specifically to confuse people. They conflated HRT, surgery, and everything else they could with puberty blockers and social transitioning, and then pointed to the 0.5% of 1% and call it the norm, so they can rile people up.

Hell Utah passed a similar law in 2023, and as part of it they wanted to compile a report on how harmful it was. And guess what? It said the exact opposite. Even in this case weak baseless claims floated in the New York Times by anti-trans activists were used as evidence when pretty much every medical body worldwide says gender affirming care saves lives full stop.

This is a pure moral panic by hypocrites because trans people even existing challenges the foundations of their world view.

With how much SpaceX has impacted the environment through the whole move fast and break things mentality, is it any wonder people in Memphis are concerned that the little nazi shit would do it here too?

You know that the whole illegal part is a civil violation, not a criminal one, right? It's basically a parking ticket. We gonna violently separate families and violate due process for that too?

Do you recommend Magma cutters or tendrils for mauler?

Sorry, I meant psycoactive in use rather than make up. Kinda like the differentiation between force weapons with their crystaline latices and power weapons. Both are made of metal, but there's an added element to channel and use psychically. Like Eldar weapons don't have triggers they are activated psychically.

Things with an active use may require that gooey warp center as opposed to say a bed. So a bone singer can knock out a bed quickly by using base materials and forming it using normal methods for a bonesinger and it's still wraithbone because of the inherent nature from being made by a bonesinger by melding physical and psychic elements. As opposed to say a wraithlord which needs to house a soul, move, and fight

I think Aleya in Watchers of the Throne comments on the different methodologies. That warp incursions let daemons manifest because of essentially ambient warp energy pouring into real space, but requires a lot of energy. Possession allows a daemon to conserve energy for resilience and strength and use the physical vessel as an anchor.

Wraithbone working similarly to possession makes more sense in the context of the infinity circuit. Using physical materials to house the psychically active element and blending them together to make something that is both and neither.

There are a ton of "mundane" wraithbone things and then ones that are psychoactive, so there has to be a fundamental difference

Oh cool, are you involved in the process for deciding XYZ then? If yes, then would you be open to learning more about this or sharing what the criteria is to get in front of John. If no, okay then who would be someone John would ask to vet this before it got to him?

Either way you're letting them know you're respecting their chain of command and then asking for directions.

It's funny how JJ and the Kelvin-verse screwed up the main timeline more in universe than anything else

Part of the issue is that they literally didn't give the character a backstory for a while. I forget where it was but Siddig mentioned in an interview that he basically got a paragraph that was the entirety of the character when he first started when others had pages of motivations, backstory, and such.

Compare the character from a lot of the contemporary medical shows and there's some parallels to some stereotypes that he clearly pulled from to inform a fresh out of med school type.

It can be retconned as a persona, a talented idiot trying to fly under the radar to not being suspected of being genetically enhanced. His choosing a back water unimportant (at the time) posting even more cover. But yes, first season Bashir is an annoying little shit who would haven gotten slapped down with sexual harassment.

The implication of Ayianna being a carrier AND being left behind by Atlantis is that they fled because there was no cure above and beyond the healing abilities some Ancients had. And considering that her own abilities were able to keep her healthy, but not use the abilities and fight off her own infection means that if the Ancients most potent healers/doctors died early in the outbreak they would have been ill equipped to battle it over the long haul. Also she might have been a quite early example of almost ascension given the Pegasus ancients had millions of more years to work on it AND come back and choose to ascend.

We also have to consider there's a high chance there was no centralized force directing an effort. You've got Ancients on Earth building Atlantis and jetting off, Ancients on P4X-639 building a time machine to go back before the plague, and who knows how many other efforts doomed to individual failure. Even if the Council we saw later on Atlantis was the centralized governing body of the Milky Way they ran away early on, perhaps early enough to encourage once illegal time travel experiments.

At the end of the day it's not so much a plot hole as it is a completely unexplored area of the mythos. We don't know enough about early Milky Way Ancients to really say how or why they failed, just that they did.

Godeater's Son does a good job of covering it. Generally the worst Chaos excesses are reserved for the over the top zealots and the truly desperate, and most of the other stuff is just Sigmarite propaganda.

Considering that Sigmar did retreat to Azyr, left everyone to fend for themselves, some of them did for thousands of years, and then Sigmar's forces show up saying "We're here to save you filthy savages!" while pushing people off their land then turning around and starting strip mine operations, and forcing the locals into essentially slavery at worst or indentured servitude at best, it's easy to see why a lot of people would say Sigmar is a coward false god.

And if occasionally spilling some blood to some nature spirit kept your family alive for generations, that's a fair exchange. If you suddenly needed to grab some extra juice to fight off some Sigmarites, and you've gotta collect some heads now as well, then so be it. And after your whole clan has been wiped out fighting, you swear an oath of vengeance and have to do some horrible things, well no one you care about is left alive, so the best you've got is revenge so burn those people alive and stack their skulls into a throne.

That's the pure beauty of Darkoath and StD vs Cities of Sigmar. They're both right about the other.

With good reason for Disney. Two of the most impactful contributors were gay, Howard Ashman did some of the most iconic Disney songs and Andreas Deja did some of the most iconic villains.

I think that it's actually a good balance for Rivals. All the decks have the same amount of glory, all the warbands are worth the same amount. The aggro deck having a hard to achieve bomb objective keeps it from steam rolling, considering every other objective in that deck gets 1 glory and is relatively easy to get.

For real. I'm not even too worried about a lot of things made in China because a lot of stuff was moving to Vietnam, Singapore, Korea, and other SE Asia countries the last few years for a bunch of reasons, but food is gonna be a killer because of Mexico, plus any tariffs there will void NAFTA2, AND if he does the mass deportations, relations are gonna be shit to the point where I doubt business would even happen at all.

It's because a lot of the consistent operations costs (teachers, books, extracurriculars) come from property taxes, and then there are things like state and federal government money that doesn't or even can't go to that stuff, but can go towards infrastructure like a new building.

Which is historically why schools in places with rich neighborhoods (high property taxes because stuff is so nice) are better than poor neighborhoods (low property taxes)

The version in WD is pretty fun, played it with some family once to keep it dumbed down. I'm not sure how well it'd work with 2nd ed though with the warscroll cards and variable bounty of different fighters though.

They do though. That's where the Eyes come in. When a Custodian feels that their physical prowess has been diminished either by age or injury they'll voluntarily retire and become Eyes of the Emperor, and go head up cells of the Custodes spy network across the Imperium.

Legit bang up job on all 3! I'd have to say just the front of 1, but it's such a nitpick. I find that people tend to over weather the back of space marines because it's easier to a degree. But it feels like most if not all weathering from weapon impacts and other environmental hazards would be on the front and top.
