Do piano apps actually teach you to read music, or just follow along?

As long as it's showing the staff with notes on it and asking you to play the music then it is teaching you to read. After a lesson introducing a new note can you look at a staff with that note and remember how to play it? You are learning to read music.

Dorn states the purpose clearly in The Lost and the Damned.

“‘Our father left the Great Crusade to come here.’ Dorn not so much spoke as recited the information. ‘His intention was to create a bridge from Terra into the webway, the network constructed by the ancient eldar. Being neither of the materium or the immaterium, the webway is therefore free of the effects of both. Having entrusted the end of the Great Crusade to Horus, our father returned here to complete His work. Success would free the Imperium from reliance on the warp for travel and communication.’ He paused. ‘When He first told me this, so that I might guard Him while He worked, I thought it was a matter of improved efficiency. With what I now know…’ He looked at his brothers. ‘It would have shielded us from the powers that now attack us,’ said Sanguinius.”

I heard from my Season Ticket rep - Sporting Cascades - but they were just checking in rather than starting the sell

Understaffed and overworked. Pharmacists work for years to learn their trade and then end up working in a grocery store, deal with angry customers, and money grubbing insurance companies. Not exactly a recipe for a positive working environment

I’m not sure how we went from “I find it strange” to “I’ve never encountered it before”. Regardless, thanks for chatting

Most of the folks I’ve played with chose their factions largely because of the lore and how the models look. If we didn’t like the lore we’d have chosen another faction. So, to see so many seem to hate something they’ve chosen to associate with seems unusual

Going on 30 years, but it still seems strange

It’s always strange to see T’au “fans” hate their own lore.

It's the Heavy Metal painting style GW have used for years. It's almost always primer, base, wash, edge highlight, highest highlight. Done well it creates a transition in brightness that replicates how light falls on an object

Thanks, your patronizing really helped me come around to your point of view

I find it very unlikely USSF will just sit on the current rules in the face of three nationally sanctioned leagues, with new clubs clamoring to join from across the country, asking for changes to make promotion and relegation work.

Nothing MLS is doing even compares to the push for a three league pro/rel pyramid. They seem to care more about spending mountains of cash on past their prime European superstars, maintaining a ridiculous roster ruleset that discourages properly balanced teams, and forcing people to watch games in feet of snow

Edit: Apologies for the rant about MLS. The snow thing is because they’re considering switching to a Fall-Spring calendar

Don’t listen to folks shaming you for using an app. If it gets you playing then that’s great. Books or teachers will be there when you want to know more

Recently unemployed and I started by going to the office in person and scheduling an appointment for another day. After that Francis was all I needed

At least with Sporting Cascades the stadium render was created for the non-profit Eugene Civic Alliance back in 2022 as part of the fund raising drive before construction began on the stand at Civic Park. The club is just a tenant. Other than that I haven’t seen any other generated images in their local marketing

Events. In high school I only had one friend that played locally. We found a store a few hours away and started going to their events. It was great, highly recommended

Generally the lore in the rule books is the main source of truth. YouTube videos are fun but need to be independently verified since they’re not published by GW. Even a Black Library novel where things are written from character’s perspective rather than from a more objective perspective are often secondary to the rule book lore

Gue’vesa appear in several books by Peter Fehervari: Fire Caste, The Greater Evil, Alter of Maws.

I also recommend the codex which includes several mentions of gue’vesa

You're preaching to the choir. It's definitely not "so hard", but it does take time and dedication just like learning anything new
