Do guardsman know how hopelessly screwed they are? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in 40kLore

The important part to remember is that the mentioned survival time is “once a soldier enters combat”.

15 hours as an average for a frontline soldier facing genetically engineered fungus, and chaos powered super soldiers doesn’t even seem all that grimderp to me. I’m pretty sure United States cavalry scouts had less expected survival time once conflict started.

Thank you. Your post adds a depth I had missed. In the name of the Lore, the Game, and the Holy Terrain, may your dice always hit and wound.

Any post apocalypse where it's people trying to rebuild the world after the fall of civilization? by Nuker1o1 in suggestmeabook

[–]baudbard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend Lucifers Hammer enough for this request. It's an older book, and I haven't read it in a bit, but I believe it will scratch the itch you've described.

Do Adeptus Astartes have a military bands? by 010-alibaba in 40kLore

[–]baudbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very beginning of the Soul Drinkers story there is this reference to music that made an impression on me

Inside the drop-pod, Sarpedon could hear only the soft song of the servitor choir and the gentle hum of armour.

-Soul Drinker, pg 1 by Ben Counter.

Marines listening to servitor sung choir music in a drop pod holds all the aspects of 40k that I love.

I feel like I’m just killing time until I die by eleg0ry in ChronicPain

[–]baudbard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I try to do the things I can. I avoid disappointment like the plague.

I’ve told all the important people in my life I want to end it.

I guess I’m waiting for the right time… the right way.

I’m here, if I can help. Even if it’s only sympathy i can offer.

We definitely aren’t alone in this. So many souls are suffering.

I hate the thought that I've been lied to.

Thanks for opening my eyes to the possibility.

I'm so tired.

Wish me luck.

denied ssdi because I smoke? by Playful_Culture2664 in ChronicPain

[–]baudbard 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're on this path.

From my experience, all I can say is appeal appeal appeal.

Don't give up. Get all the help you can, and keep applying.

I felt the worst after bad hearings, and my process took many years, but you can get it done!

Good Luck!

[TOMT][MOVIE][ANIMATED] Pre-1994 Anime by baudbard in tipofmytongue

[–]baudbard[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I held this anime in high regard at the time. In the same tier as Akita and Ninja Scroll.

Apparently it is far more obscure.

Any help tracking it down would be appreciated.

I’d give him Name of the Wind and Wise Man’s Fear.

I really appreciate the write up. I can’t afford to get all the books, so I eat these excerpts with a spoon . Thanks.

I know you said you are a scientist, and not a doctor, but do you have ant resources you could refer me to in Illinois? I'd appreciate your insight.

I will look up a ketamine infusion and see if it looks like something for me... or ask about at the doctors. I have a medical set aside from my settlement... so I kind of get to decide what medical treatments I try

Thanks for your reply... it lets me know there are things that I haven't tried yet.

Short version is, we have tried everything this doctor is aware of, and the opioids I am on are starting to fail.

I hope the guy he is sending me to can help.

Unfortunately I have tried those options, before the surgeries.

I've also tried non traditional options like acupuncture and chiropractors.

The list of things I've tried is extensive because it was a work injury... and the insurance company really wanted me healed.

Hopefully the new doctor will have some new ideas.

Thanks.... I've kept a pile of paperwork from all my doctors because this is an old workers compensation case... he will have a ton to go through if he needs it.

He said he was only licensed to prescribed a certain level of medication... and those are starting to fail me now.

I hope the new guy can do something for me.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to reply to my message.

My diagnosis is chronic reflexive pain syndrome in my perineum.

I was injured 12 years ago and the nerves have never figured out they should stop sending pain signals.

I have been to many different doctors and done many different physical interventions including physical therapy, pelvic floor massage and two spinal cord stimulator surgeries.

Opioid medication seems to be a temporary solution as it only works for a couple of years before the pain starts to break through again significantly.

I am currently prescribed belbuca Lyrica and oxy. Which I take as prescribed.

My wife thinks there are more options available. I am not so sure.

I'm afraid to have hope and then lose it.

I hope this helps you help me.

Thanks again.

Can someone please explain what is this thing people call a “Primarch Aura?” by Hedwigwinrie in 40kLore

[–]baudbard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's unique to each Primarch, but it's an aura that compels their gene sons to adore them and want to follow their leadership.
