What are they going to do, arrest the raccoon?

At any given time T, the coordinates form a right triangle with legs of length 5T and T. Therefore the distance D is given by D^2 = (5T)^2 + T^2 = 26T^2. This simplifies to D = T * sqrt(26). Therefore the rate of separation is sqrt(26) ft/sec regardless of time

Maybe Magneto was onto something…

I just wish more games would tell you, “Your last save was X seconds ago.”

I love it because it tells me what I need to know and it’s relatively simple to program (i.e., note current time any time you save or load).

Insurance never covers damages from war, because that’s a good way to bankrupt the insurance company. Even they don’t have infinite money.

I have a very similar setup (Vive + 4070) working under Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The only special workaround was to install Steam natively, downloading directly from Valve instead of using the Snap provided by Canonical. Aside from that, everything worked immediately right out of the box.

1. Bring a sword as a gift.
2. Surprise!
3. Alliance restored under new leadership and an eternally grateful public.

OK, now explain why you can’t find a decent ISP in a major American city. (That’s right, it’s because of monopolies and enshittification.)

Counterpoint: Every developer should have to test their app on a machine with 1 GB of RAM and a dialup modem before inflicting their bloat on the rest of the world.

Just show them the graph. Can’t argue with hard data.

In short, there’s increasing hints that the “greater good” espoused by the Ethereals (i.e., the Tau’s mysterious leadership caste) may actually be a cover for a lot of mind control and eugenics.

You’ve got the important foundational elements. The other big event is the Horus Heresy, where about half of the Emperor’s sons fell to Chaos and started a huge civil war that left the Emperor in his current half-dead state, but the imperial bureaucracy keeps on chugging.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the world of Warhammer 40k has been evolving over decades of novels, tabletop games, and video games made by multiple authors. As a result, the canon is vast and occasionally self-contradictory.

If you want to know more, I highly recommend the Ciaphas Cain books (novels with a comedy streak) and a silly fan series called If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech device.

Strictly speaking, there are also do-not-angles.
