    I’ve been meaning to reply sooner, but I kept your comment up so I could get back to you

    You did mostly answer my question! I looked him up and was delighted by what I read. My first wh40k army was the necrons. I have their symbol hanging from my rear view mirror, even! It’s been there in my cars for the last 20ish years? I have the first necron codex

    [Insert image of codex here] I can’t find it atm, or else I’d share

    But I haven’t been active in a very long time and I was blown away by the changes to the units when I looked them up a few weeks ago

    Ultimately I was wondering what the artwork was from but I was still glad to learn about some new lore

    That was still a very heartfelt reply and I appreciated it. I don’t think you came off any way at all other than passionate

    Please don’t talk down to yourself. Learning new things is inspiring!

    Your comment made me realize I had an id10t whoosh moment here. I didn’t realize wombats actually pooped cubes. What a dummy. Thanks!

    ♥️♥️ Your comment just struck a chord with me so I wanted to ask you to not be so hard on yourself

    Electronic calculators have their own magic but with slide rules you conjure it yourself and it’s beautiful. I like seeing the how behind the why

    Next time I visit I’ll ask to be shown again. I miss the long, boring explanations about how every single part of a keyboard works and how they all mechanically and electronically mesh to put our finger taps into words on a screen

    I’m sorry for waxing nostalgia, it just kinda dawned on me I haven’t let him know I appreciated being taught those things because nowadays we just expect things to work and don’t question the “magic”

    I went to my family Christmas with my then-partner. I got a Grinch onesie from my family

    We then attended my partner’s family Christmas where basically the entire living room was stuffed with presents for the kids (my partner and their siblings). My then-partner complained about how the siblings all got more $$ worth of presents. I pointed out that I got a pair of pjs for Christmas. The reply: “it’s not about the dollar amount, it’s just they got more than me” (paraphrased)

    I hated that present. A fucking onesie? It was such a disappointing present, and for a long time I used it as an example for questions just like this

    I kept it and wore it. Eventually I lost the bitterness and started to cherish it even. Which is why I still wear it regularly this time of year! It’s quite warm… plus, it has pockets!
