Great breakdown @alexanderzachary.bsky.social , thank you. Feyn's comics always pop up on my feed but I forever forget their name. I'm hopeful once I google them later tonight I'll find the whole comic backlist. Also love how Feyn *gets* the t'au lore. Spot on analysis, based on what I've seen

What I learned from all this is that if you go the extra mile, you can save $1.09 in gas, and if you do that every time you fill up, the USA still would have spent $29 billion to lose a war in Iran that cost Americans $132 billion all so we could distract ourselves from how our king is a felon

Noah Van Nguyen @noahvannguyen.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Obviously, these calculations don't include road time. No problem, because I like the time out of the house and got to go to Costco with my family. The Costco drive is ~15 min longer, which would have been $$ when I was corporate. But now I mostly flick my boogers at the wall so no biggie.

Noah Van Nguyen @noahvannguyen.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Now, the cheapest gas nearby was $3.35/g, about 3 miles there and back again, which would have come out to $51.52, or $51.85 when calculating mileage in. +2% in rewards on my card cuts the hypothetical total to $50.82. (Is my math mathing?) $49.73 at Costco, $50.82 nearby. $1.09 in savings.

120

Noah Van Nguyen @noahvannguyen.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

So I went for gas, $3.29/g @ Costco. Filled 15.38g ($50.62) but had to drive 15 miles, burning 44% of a gallon based on my MPG rating. Let's round to 50%, keep it easy—tack on price for total of $52.26. That said, we cleaned up 5% in rewards because of my wife's card. So I'll chop that off: $49.73.

I'm hesitant to say I've noticed this — I scan for t'au discourse enough that I saw a spike, but I wasn't sure if there was any confirmation bias at play. Any favorites?

Noah Van Nguyen @noahvannguyen.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Anyways, I'm working on a novel I think many folks will be excited for. Can't say much about it. Except that it reveals Sigmar was primarch of both the 2nd and 11th legion, and shows what the Emperor was up to in 1989, and explains how Be'lakor teleports between the AoS and 40k settings.

Thanks Naelok. Honestly everyone has said she's doing relatively better than most stroke victims. I certainly see a huge improvement between what I'd heard of her status on day zero and now (day ~15). We're cautiously optimistic!

@mmm0pan.bsky.social totally not rude my friend, I'm so glad you shared! I've seen your sketches btw, me and my editor geeked out over them together :) I've actually been rereading this while caring for my mother after her stroke. It's been lonely and hard, so this was right on time. Thank you :)

Fellow Americans, you and I pay the men who killed Alex Pretti. We bought the pepper spray they used to blind him. We bought the guns and the bullets used to summarily execute him. Our money pays officials to lie about his murder. They picked our pockets and are terrorizing us with the proceeds.

This isn't going to be the last time. The administration will stand by its Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, the goons will feel empowered, and more triggers will be pulled in even less excusable circumstances. It only ends when we decide it ends — either because we gave in, or because we stopped it.

I wish I could @felixfire.bsky.social — really! — but I fear I'd be creating legal risk exposure if down the road I were to write something even remotely similar to whatever it is you're doing. Not that that would be intentional! But you know how good ideas can linger and evolve

Just saw Predator: Badlands and holy shit. Just wow. 11/10 so much story, phenomenal acting, teach me your ways Dek and Dan Trachtenberg. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, Elle Fanning, and the anonymous soldier android actor(s?) killed it. I don't even know what to do with my life now.

Well when I did it I got sucked into Ghur through a Last Action Hero style portal to hunt Kragnos with her. She learned to respect mortals during our quest, I learned not to f*** with Yndrasta. (I think it pulls up an electronic version with a description/background.)

Thank you for asking @lumi-nee.bsky.social :) Gave me a reason to do long-awaited magnetizing. Back in 3rd ed. I chose the shadow grey color scheme they illustrated (maps pretty closely on to Sa'cea). I played around with it over some years. If I could redo it I would try and reproduce that camo!)
