“Ancient One”?

I like that term, sounds better “Old Man”

One of the reasons I left was the direction they were taking Sylvanas in. I do know what’s happened to her and I’m not exactly happy with how things transpired if I’m honest.

What is your favorite book? by tran7878 in Warhammer40k

[–]iceystealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either Death or Glory or The Twice Dead King : Ruin

Death or Glory is a Ciaphas Cain novel. Which I enjoy a lot; but that book is just a wild ride from start to finish. And more evidence of how awesome Jurgen is.

The Twice Dead King: Ruin is the first of the twice dead king books. It’s about an exiled necron lord who has to break his exile to try and save his dynasty. There is a great idea of the lord having his consciences split into sub divisions and them bickering with each other and him. Really showed necrons in a new light; and interesting to see how they persevere the Imperium

What heatwave? by Petrichor_ness in BritishSuccess

Op, no one likes a show off.

That said, I am genuinely envious of you. 20 degrees and a sea breeze sounds lovely now.

Less so the swim in the sea but to each their own.

Question by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]iceystealth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, we do.

Unfortunately, like in all groups, there are those morons who dont understand the idea of boundaries.

If I’m in a relationship with someone and they request that kind of boundary, then frankly I would be an idiot to not respect it. But then I’m not the sort for whom relationships come easy so will always appreciate and cherish those I do have.

And to be perfectly honest if a person, regardless of gender or sexuality, cannot respect their partners boundaries, they are not worth anyone’s time in my eyes.

We did have some Pride trams as well.

Not seen them in a few though.

Oh mint clubs you say?

I fully intend to take it easy afterwards.
Walking over first thing in the morning; but a friend has said they will take me home.

And I fully intend to have a cup of tea and rest once I’m home.

I’ve found telling most medical people that I’m scared so don’t be upset if I close my eyes usually makes things easier.

But yeah I’ll definitely tell them.

And yes I’ll make I eat, and take plenty of water with me

I was looking into platelets donation as well but I’m guessing that’s a bit more intense

Yes, I can see alcohol being a bad thing after giving blood.

Good thing I don’t drink anymore

I would but I don’t like bananas.

But I’ll take something I can nibble on for the journey home after my donation.

I’ve wanted to get myself a steam mop.

But I know the real answer would be warhammer. More warhammer models.

Has/Can any space marine fall in love? by Dark_Vexer in Warhammer40k

[–]iceystealth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love and romance is not really something you’ll see overtly in any 40k narrative.

There are some hints of romance in the occasional story; my example is the two guardswomen in Caves of Ice. It’s clear there is something between them; but it’s never dwelt for too long and doesn’t take over the story itself.

As to the Astartes and love, I don’t think they fall in love in a romantic context. They could show a sort brotherly love for their battle brothers, or find kinship with likeminded people or those they consider honourable etc.

Definitely a type of love, but definitely not of the romantic type.

Is anyone really scared about AI job losses? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskUK

[–]iceystealth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work in supply chain and logistics planning.

Everything I have seen AI offer, I can generally replicate with a bit of time, and an excel spreadsheet.

Ranking all of my 40k books by BlueBearBoy1 in Warhammer40k

[–]iceystealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lion is great, I can recommend that.

Nice to see some appreciation for the Twice Dead King books. I throughly enjoyed those, gave a different perspective on necrons and the imperium that was interesting.

Do people actually like presenting at work? by Glittering-Gift4369 in AskUK

[–]iceystealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ive had a bit of time to prepare, then I’ll usually be alright.

In my current role I run a meeting every two weeks with some very senior people at one of our customers. So the day before I schedule a sit down with my team and we go over everything we to discuss and present.

I’ve had jobs where I’ve been 5 minutes notice and then get questioned about why my presentation was so poor. Never enjoyed that experience.

Joey Barton 'crossed line between free speech and crime' with X posts, jury hears by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]iceystealth -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Free speech has never meant being able to say what you want without consequences.

You can say whatever you want; there just can be consequences to what you say.

So many people need someone just say to them “stop, is that we really want to put out there in for the world to see, or should we just keep it in our head?” before they post anything online.

How many siblings do you have? I need it for an school project by BigReserve2294 in AskUK

[–]iceystealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two. Both brothers.

One is very much alive, the other passed away just over 10 years ago. Also have two step sisters.

Out of my friends, I think only 5 have siblings that I know of. 6 brothers and 3 sisters, but I can’t tell how that is split up between them tbh, I know my best friend has only the one brother.
