And to present a false target that can be sacrificed to protect the real fake head with the actual augury!

And make the whole thing seem more hunched and sinister. Design-wise, this is not bad or anything. But it is a lot of pauldron. Saturnine kind of is peak Space Marine armour aesthetics.

He does like his pauldrons, Jes.

Similar dishes are also spread as far as Japan (Gyoza), the Phillipines (Empanadas, similar to the Mexican variant) and India (Modak). While that does ABOUT cover the extent of the traditional Silk Road trade network, it is not necessarily related to the Mongol empire. Possibly it is way older too.

Well.
Such dumplings are also found farther west, in Poland (Pelmeni), Germany (Maultäschle), Austria (Käskrapfen), and all along the former Soviet Union and Balkans, probably propagated in part by local trade, though the German version is tied to lent custom (God can't see meat wrapped in dough).

The real fun part being the Emperor purposely prevented both his sons and their entire legions to ever experience puberty.

oh yes. and the little legs that uselessly flail need to be still there. but the pauldrons clearly have taken over. They're just vestiges of inferior body parts compared to the allmighty pauldron.

I'd give an additional like just for the checkerboard and the heart.

I agree, it should just be pauldrons with comparatively tiny legs. Well, maybe an idea for the saturnine titan?

I hope you like pauldrons because DAMN are you gonna get pauldrons now.

A good reason to edit my pledge. Gotta have those and threw in the Refugium PDF too!

I disagree here; it is as much a derivative Dune rip-off as it is Flash Gordon (it has scary sand people, sand monsters, a desert planet, a drug called spice, a worthless senate, an evil emperor, secretive orders whose magic is all about mental manipulation and being dangerous with swords ...).

It'll be interesting iof and when the big LLM creators find a solution to this and what it will be!

It is a working theory with many, such as Raswadshani, Cheng and Lowenzahn, that emergent models suffer from self-reinforcing loops that generate such failures of judgement, as has already been incresingly reported in text replies.
comment in response to
post
This is a serious problem, and one of the many reasons emergent models come with problems that are hard to fix. Altburg et al recently theorized this is an advancement of the known and elusive problem with hallucinations, a problem that seems to aggravate with every new iteration of LLM.

Ah, so that's where this was from, I was wondering if I had just forgotten about something from Clone Wars.

They could still do it once every 24 months but GOOD LUCK COMPLETING THAT PROCEDURE ON TIME so they need to plan ahead and stagger their updates just for the 24 month schedule (or file for emergency patches that need to be authorized by data security nerd panels attached to the Defense directorate).

To make this really painful make this a process run by the European Commission, Digital Directorate, and negotiations need to be coordinated with member state branch offices (all run by a mix of legalistic bureaucrats and Linux nerds), or the app will be flat out blocked from the European market.

How can you be so rich and still look so undatable. Even Elon once made an effort.

Exactly, nor would Valrak have giveaways, or Luetin publish several videos in a month. It seems so out of the blue. But I am wondering what prompted this. My guess is some grifter channel got a beating or maybe Arch was kicked off someplace again?
comment in response to
post
I was wondering the same. More than one thumbnail indicated GW would take down channels such as Luetin09's and Valrak's, and there's been nothing from them to this end, not a single thing. So, what happened?

Bad honey, that's one of the "handy housekeeper hints" dropped in de re coquinaria.

Would not surprise me if Altman has his bot actively encourage this to drive engagement. Social Media has done worse to keep VC moron investors interested (see: global rise in fascism, polarization, at least two genocides) with impressive rises in engagement metrics.

Do they also stack his gilded cropolites into neat pyramids and do the cropolites look fancier and prettier than Dorn's?

I mean you could ... like ... talk to peoplöe who speak another language, book some courses at community college or equivalent, or ... y'know .... travel? The latter is easier in Europe, granted (It'd take me less time to reach the other end of my city than reach another country) but it DOES work.

And while that might sound cold, plan and prepare for what you will do. Death is a massive source of red tape and especially if you are mentally struggling as is, it might be helpful for you to prepare and plan ahead so you have something to guide you through the dark times to come.

That's arguably worse. Her dad developed a very fast acting liver cancer on top of cirrhosis, and her mom's COPD wasn't getting better for years. So I've seen this (touch wood my parents are in better shape but you never know, heart issues run trhough my family) and, ugh, very harsh.
comment in response to

Good friend of mine lost both her parents too this month, in a matter of days. This is harsh and you have every right to be sad and down about it! Hope you are doing okay-ish enough and can get needed help to sort out all the red tape death of relatives brings.

Okay, fair (though T'au can do hordes depending on which auxilia they send in before the important people (their own)).

Necrons are not known for hordes of scarabs or skeletal killbots? Ciaphas Cain might disgree with you there.

Anyone ever noticed how much of a one-winged Angel Fulgrim is? I wonder how long that Laer blade sword is ...

This is why specialized role economies are successful. Not only with humans: many insects also work by this method - hive-building species perform WAY better than solitary ones who do everything by themselves. Economics 101.
Computer Science is so riddled with Dunning Krueger it's not even funny.

You pay for open-source with the timé you have to put in to make it even work so that it can be used for its intended purpose, and being its own troubleshooting department. You do not pay with money but time, which is much less cost-effective than paying money in a specialized economic situation.

This, of course, frustrates efforts to weather-control by surrounding fields with umbrellas that are kept closed or opened, depending on desired weather, a technology pioneered by Xarmville, Elon Musk's $9Qn valued Agri-tech startup, the man who said he could "make rain by 2015" with umbrellas.

So while 51% of Britons have no idea what "pimhole" is and whether they should be offended by it or not, only 21% feel that way about "smeg" and some 15% say they are actually offended by it. RED DWARF FANDOM LIVES. Most valuable find of this chart tbh.

Real Vikings:
- had no power armour
- had no primarch
- didn't use bolters
- had no terminators
- didn't slowly turn into wolves
- their elite warriors did the above instead (for real)
SPACE WOLVES AREN'T VIKINGS and frankly making "Space Wolves" vikings is remarkably lame, dull and unimaginative.

Asked @wib.bsky.social that once. It goes back to the early Thatcher years and the wacky things that happened in Nottingham when the buses were privatiozed and buses were suddenly operating competitively, it seems.
