  • 100% what I first thought of. I was well into WH Fantasy as a kid with my older brother and moved into 40k as a teen. Lost interest as an adult and thought I might like to get back into it recently cos I've got a mate who's obsessed.

    Too expensive, the business model is more exploitative than ever and the game system has become terribly bloated and the recent new edition hasn't improved it.

    Also, beyond the top tier of competition, most matches are decided before a single figure is put on the board.

    There are other far more interesting game systems on the market that aren't dedicated into forcing you into buying new miniatures and books every 18 months.

  • Isn't this a picture of the guy who owned Pollen, the company that scammed hundreds of millions of pounds from customers and paid for a dream wedding abroad costing millions while bouncing cheques to his staff?

  • MSG is just a kind of salt. It's absolutely fine and one guy basically said "I always get a headache after eating Chinese food, it must be those darn Chinese people's fault" and created a completely bullshit study out of nowhere and the health food nuts jumped on it and now here we are and even in China MSG has become a dirty word.

    tldr: food tastes better with a little MSG and there's no link between it and any known health issue.

  • Literal conversation I had with a coworker earlier:

    Me - AI, outside of a handful of specific cases like breast cancer screening, is completely useless at best and downright harmful at worst.

    Coworker - no AI is pretty good actually, I used ChatGPT to improve my CV.

    Me - did you get the job?

    Coworker -

  • A pretty large spreadsheet into which goes all the incomings and outgoings, logged and averaged over 12 months to give a pretty accurate idea of how much disposable income me and my partner will have after all the bills and savings have been calculated.

  • Still no excuse for the officer to kick the guy in the head and try to get him again.

    Worst of all is he's trying to spin it as an attempt to subdue him, despite the fact he's already on the floor, been tasered, and is being restrained by another officer.

    Circumstances will almost certainly justify him getting angry and lashing out. He's just been punched multiple times, seen two female officers get laid out in front of him, it's understandable that he saw red and acted excessively but he's decided to go for a lie that he acted in a rational and considered manner.
