I’ve been flip flopping between JavaScript vs python and landed on JavaScript as it has some libraries I’d like to experiment with.
I’ve written a few lines of python code but just basic training stuff. Hopefully there are some transferable skills from learning JavaScript.
Thank you for the reply.
I’ll do just that. Thanks for the reply!
Ahh yes, I should maybe have posted this somewhere else now I think about it.
For me, I find the barriers to entry are quite high but if you can get a good training vid that covers the building blocks then it’s easy to learn more.
School would be a good place for that initial learning.
I’m a lovecraftian horror from space. What is your excuse?
I might be entitled to a benefit, maybe. So you better give me that benefit just in case.
Apply that same reasoning to other situations.
Give the elderly disability benefit, they may be entitled, maybe not. Do it just in case.
Or to another area: you may not need antibiotics, but just have them in case you miss out on them.
Sure, you catch everyone but it costs a lot of money.
To take this to an absurd conclusion: I a 29 year old, may be entitled to a pension. I haven’t checked, or applied, but give it to me anyway, just incase I am entitled.
I get your point, but that is a principle that shouldn’t be applied. You could use the same logic to give anyone any benefit, just incase.
They’ve got nukes though, and plenty of conventional fire power (compared to Ukraine when it was invaded).
They need to invest in a non US lead command structure as that’s all using US tech and personnel.
Maybe not the strangest but here are 2 from my vacation to London last month:
2 women walking past. One of them says:
“I talk a lot of shit, but my fart is bigger than my shit.”
Then in Covent Garden I met a very polite drug dealer:
Excuse me, do you need any weed or coke? No, well then have a very good evening.
Nice guy, big smile.
What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.
Un-fortify the wheat now!

The default answer is the Eisenhorn book series.
There is a reading order here that combines three book series that have an interwoven story. However, you can just read the main Eisenhorn books for flavour:

If you like these, there are then some options:
The Horus Heracy ( a huge number of books and multiple reading lists depending on your approach I.e. full chronological list ~400 books, main story books ~50.
Caine Books (a more lighthearted take on 40k)
Other mentions:
^These are a few Imperium heavy series. There are a ton of other faction books.
If I we’re you I’d read Eisenhorn and if you like it, look at that top link. If you are hooked, look at the Horus Heracy. If you aren’t hooked then try the 1st Caine book and see if it pulls you in.
Feel free to come back and ask again. There’s a ton of lore out there.
Im getting major 1930s Spanish Civil war vibes.
Did killing Cesar at the end of Fallout New Vegas teach us nothing?
The war machine is too far along to be stopped easily.
Or if WW1 is your poison:
Initially, Wilhelm II wanted to halt the German mobilization, hoping for a peaceful resolution. However, Moltke insisted it was too late to stop the complex mobilization process once it had been set in motion. He argued that it was “like a wound-up clock” that couldn’t simply be unwound. His words essentially conveyed that the mobilization machinery, once started, would continue inexorably towards war, effectively removing any possibility of reversal.
They shouldn’t be uncomfortable. Make sure you’ve set them correctly.
Did you send in the Human fleet to defend the Citadel from the Reapers, or did you hold back ensuring Humanity had the biggest fleet after the attack?
Have a looks at the Hobart’s Funnies designs section:
US Navy Ice Cream Barge:
Good luck. Labour ran on a “Not the Tories” campaign. Which worked because of the 12 or so years of Tory madness.
Hitler’s generals we’re largely good generals. Many came from the Prussian school of war.
The Allies didn’t try to assassinate Hitler because Hitler was causing so many military blunders by thinking he knew better than his generals and overruling them.
If they don’t win then they can’t pay it back. If anything it gives an incentive to lend them more.
The Iron Bank.
Thanks for that. I’ll move this up the list.
