Such a good scene. Syncretism in action. Also made a good callback to the opening scene with Conan's father discussing the origin of steel and its riddle.

Found a version where it's broken down into the actual dishes being made, which illustrates it's not just fewer sides and desserts but also much smaller portions.

I suspect you shouldn't get too comfortable around the sheep either.
I think Terry Pratchett summed it up well in 'Last Continent'

Not really, or at least not for long. Fallout would get them in the end.

yep. and they're trying to get permission to build a massive rocket fuel production site *right next to the launch pad* where their rockets keep exploding.

so it occurs to me that the farming planet Mina-Rau from Andor Season 2 is an excellent depiction of what a #warhammer #40k agriworld is like based on the wider novel examples, rather than the Mechanicus run hellscape of Najan in "Lords of Silence".

i mean orks are canonically a form of non-binary, the male pronouns are a translation convention on the part of the imperium.

[Exerpt: Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh] Orks find human obsession with gender hilarious
[quote]
But, before the prisoner’s account could continue, the Deathwatch veteran had found one more bone to pick.
‘Ghazghkull is a he,’ he grumbled, wagging a finger at Biter and receiving an uncertain grunt in reply. ‘You keep saying they,’ Hendriksen clarified, ‘but Ghazghkull is a he.’
‘But… they… he is not a man?’ said Biter, their brow-ridge creased in ¬bafflement. Falx cut in then, before another messy debate could ensue.
‘We’ve been through this, Orm. Orks have no… reproductive anatomy, and consequently no understanding of sex or gender.’
‘Some of us understand sexangender,’ interrupted Biter, keen as ever to demonstrate their unusual expertise in humans. ‘I find it all… quite funny.’
‘Silence, ork,’ Falx snapped, impatient to get back on track. ‘From now on, Ghazghkull is a he, whether it makes sense or not.’
[end quote]
A ork translator has a hard time understanding with an Astartes would need to impose pronouns on a gender-AND-sexless species. There's numerous reasons to love this, both for how lore-consistent it is that mushroom-beasts wouldn't care about it all, and for how it's a neat reminder of the hidebound nature of the Imperium, even those (like a radical Xenos inquisitor and her Deathwatch attendant) who would nominally be 'outsiders'.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:enalzqaqjjdjoqjmr62sr4wh/bafkreicstcburl76fvyrvogn4mdscfw3vq6qpg7gwawqqu4mgrebx23b4m@jpeg)
