As a 40k fan, there are so many good ones (as comes as a surprise to no one). Some personal favorites of mine are:
Not fiction nor fantasy, and that I think makes it all the more deserving
Yeah, maybe I’m the one who hasn’t gotten over it. Some days it’s the worst part of going to work (the other days it’s usually the weather that’s the worst part)
I put roofs on, both slate and standing seam. They would probably be surprised at how much money the really rich people have. But explaining standing seam would be pretty easy.
We even get our copper from Revere, as in Paul Revere, though he wasn’t born until 1735.
I mean, the war in heaven was the most cataclysmic event. It’s sort of the first galactic scale apocalyptic event in the lore. Gods were fighting gods, some races rose in power, while others ceiced to exist. It’s speculated that at some point the nature of the warp changed, and was later distanced from baseline reality.
But this is all background to the lore, and none of it ever happens in the books, so I’m not sure it really counts. I think the same could be said for the fall of the eldar.
So probably the horus heresy or the 13th black crusade. My money’s on the latter as it caused the great rift.
Lots of physical activity, like lots. First I got into back country snowboarding. Then the snow at the resort was also really good, so I would skip lunch to ski more. Picked up running in the off season, did some pretty long trail runs. Back in snowboard season, lots of uphill in the mornings when I can. Running when it’s warm. Cross country skiing when there’s snow.
I also try to stay away from refined carbs, since they make me sleepy, and then hungry in a couple hours. Also eat lots of protein. Also quit drinking booze mostly.
I can’t afford a Mac
Read, calligraphy, run, snowboard/split board, journal. I wish I could play videogames, but I feel too guilty, I’m trying to get away from YouTube as it’s a black hole for free time.
I can’t remember so much of what used to be me, it astounds me sometimes. But also it doesn’t really bother me. The me I am now was shaped by what was regardless of my knowledge of it. Those past parts of me have passed through me, and new parts are yet to come.
I guess I’m just not a very sentimental guy.
I always thought of it as Californian, but now that I say that, I have no idea where it originates.
Edit: it was founded in Colorado, but is now headquartered in California.
I don’t think they have much effect on the flora of an area, but humans are not the only fauna that are harmed by ticks.
Also they get in my dreams and I usually have at least one tick related nightmare a year, so please do understand I speak with some hyperbole.
Ticks.
They seem to just make everything worse, and I don’t think anything only eats ticks. Not to mention the diseases they carry.
This evening will be my first day back at run club! I’ve been doing short runs for a bit now, as well as sitting on the stationary bike. But thank you for the suggestion
Yeah I picked up running this summer. A little while ago I injured my foot and couldn’t run anymore, things instantly got worse for me.
I did not know it was a trend or whatever until reading all the comments. But I probably think about the Roman empire most days.
I’m really into calligraphy and snowboarding. Luckily there’s a snowboarding presence here on lemmy, but I have not the time to start a calligraphy one.
Predicting the next century seems a bit much. But I’m glad they are experiencing success, I hope we all benefit from their discoveries.
