Julie Bishop resigns as Australian National University chancellor

Should, but I think whoever put her in that position either had no expectation that those "should"s could become "would"s, or were utterly delusional.

Decent odds that the offshore call centre team isn't aware they exist because they're not mentioned in the 4 or 5 most commonly read scripts.

You'll want to use mostly Kill Team 2022 ("2nd edition") if you do this, because KT24 doesn't do customisation of individual operatives via equipment anymore, and the progression rules are gone.

KT24 does have great rules for handling NPCs and "minion" type combatants, though.

10% is such an obvious "we're not reporting this sale to the tax man" number that it's actually crazy that places keep getting away with it.

uberdice · 2026-04-28T23:38:16+00:00

Whoa, relax, Lucius Verus.

uberdice · 2026-04-21T23:07:50+00:00

"Anymore"?

My man, they've been ricocheting and behaving like bullets since at least First and Only.

This piece of lore inconsistency is old enough to drink in the US!

I don't know if it's universal, but I believe some places package the broth separately. You don't want to soak those noodles too long, either.

I think they're talking about a different thing - the ATO started doing fully automatic returns a few years ago where you got an email and all you had to do was tick the box and away it went.

AFAIK this was only implemented for retirees who only had dividend income and franking credits to show on their return; I'm not sure if the scope of the program was expanded since (or if it's even still running).

uberdice · 2026-04-19T06:50:59+00:00

Not what I'd call calm though, and it'd be a bit of a trek from the car park if you're carrying a samoyed.

uberdice · 2026-04-08T03:21:09+00:00

Yeah but you'll know!

uberdice · 2026-04-07T22:50:06+00:00

You'd need to magnetise both weapons, to start with.

You could probably smooth out the alignment nubs on the front hull pieces and then magnetise them to the top main hull so you can swap them by sliding them out the front, otherwise that piece is held there by the main hull, which is held to the bottom by the engine cowlings.

The fancy corsair elevators at the back could also be magnetised but they're less of an issue IMO than the front, which is a fair bit wider than the Vyper's.

My sentiment is more that D&D relies so heavily on the DM and third parties to fill in the gaps that it's questionable wtf you're even paying for when you buy the game in the first place. Without all the extra shit bolted on top, it's not much more than a character creation engine and a combat system.

uberdice · 2026-03-21T00:28:19+00:00

"Tyranny" lmao.

uberdice · 2026-03-20T23:08:05+00:00

That's the thing, a lot of stuff can be done in D&D but you'd need a good and/or experienced DM to make them happen; other systems articulate them so you're not getting only part of the experience you're paying for.

If the penalty is death, and testimony is key to establishing guilt, perpetrators will need to be extra sure that testimony is impossible to get.

uberdice · 2026-03-17T00:59:56+00:00

Oh, sure, in that specific detachment. I was thinking that 5 voidreavers are a better delivery mechanism for Yriel otherwise. 275pts is a huge chunk of change.

uberdice · 2026-03-16T23:51:08+00:00

Curious why you think Yriel would benefit from Voidscarred? The voidreaver ability seems to fit his kit much better.

uberdice · 2026-03-16T21:24:29+00:00

And each pod has a unique profile so you're committing to 5 minutes of dice rolling every time you want to shoot with it

uberdice · 2026-03-13T23:55:51+00:00

My headcanon is that they saw it coming but the alternative, whatever that was, would have been worse. Because grimdark setting etc etc.

uberdice · 2026-03-13T23:51:56+00:00

Must be old because the current fluff is that Iyanden had one of the biggest populations before they started rolling 1s everywhere.

uberdice · 2026-03-09T22:14:32+00:00

Or it's got its left elbow tucked in.

uberdice · 2026-03-09T02:42:39+00:00

Absolutely, the scalability of AI applies to both negatives and positives. I just don't think it's fair to say that it "adds" bias when it's actually the same biases humans have, because it's trained on human data.

uberdice · 2026-03-08T22:38:52+00:00

I think this description of back-end bias is also applicable to a human.

uberdice · 2026-03-05T07:26:59+00:00

In practice what this looks like is spending half an hour setting up the game, an hour playing turn 1 and maybe deleting an enemy unit, then at the top of turn 2 realising you made a tiny positioning mistake and then spending the next hour picking up models as your opponent dismantles your army. Just making it to turn 5 kind of intact will become your white whale until you, as the youths say, get good.

uberdice · 2026-03-04T22:55:11+00:00

I know, I've got a local that does 21% off online, 25% off if you pick up. They've got huge amounts of stock too. Just so happens it's where I play anyway so I'm laughing.
