  • You’re correct. There are more factors involved too, including climate change, since more ice melting means more water as well, moving the mass away from poles to the center to also be affected by the mind pull too.

    All the factors end up changing things by about a millisecond per century. The effect is akin to a spinning figure skater having their arms up over their head vs directly out from their body.

    Just addressing one part of this.

    Veggies aren’t a primary source of calories, when trying to reduce calorie intake and eating healthy. Veggies are there for other important reasons. You focus on beans, lentils, and other legums for calories. Meat doesn’t even come close to their value. Rice, while having it’s own problems, is also more calories per dollar by far.



  • Books are like the novels. Story books.

    Codices are rule books. Each faction gets one and through our the years they all contained fluff and lore. Some stuff you only ever get in a codex. Some stuff you only ever see in a novel. There is probably some cabin content that is exclusive to every single form the universe has appeared in.


  • I wouldn’t say complicated. Just vast. It’s a growing universe that’s been around for like 40 years. B there is a lot of there and you don’t need to consult all of it. Play someone like Dawn of War series them pick the factions you like and just slowly absorb.

    I always felt like 40k was an absorption type thing. You take in a little bit here and there and when you hear someone insane dog into it.


  • You get the most from reading books honestly. The truly out there stuff that always gets people interested is usually in novels or in the game books for either the ttrpg stuff or tt war games.

    The games are getting better, especially if you avoid the endless space marine focused games, but even there, we have some pretty decent games. Space Marine is great. Dawn of War is awesome. Dawn of War will give you a big of every factions flavors, at least enough to get an overview and let you pick who interests you. Maybe start there? Or…

    You get the most interesting lore when looking at it from a human perspective I think. Some good lore and closer look can be had with Owlcat’s Rogue Trader. I believe they are working on an Inquisitor game too.

    Otherwise, you pick a faction you like and you start digging into the books and codices. I can get you book recs too if you want.
