The other blade runner did those all the time and left one there for Deckard to see, to indicate that:
a) Rachel was to be terminated but he took pity on Deckard AND/OR
b) Deckard is a replicant too and the other blade runner took pity

Either way it means he was there and he wouldn't visit w/out a reason

You've done a man's job, sir.

Also apropos: "I didn't know how long we had together... Who does?"

Hey, Reynolds Advanced Materials: it was very clever how you hid Smooth-Cast 326 in a Smooth-Cast 321 box. Well played.

Games Workshop: You could have minted a mountain of money by producing Heresy era SM armor in plastic, instead of making Forge World do it in resin.

Money isn't everything, is it?

Before the Cease&Desist letter, I had sent a paper letter to GW Memphis pointing out that the "Throne of Skulls" is a little overboard, and included a picture of Yen, who narrowly avoided having her own skull stacked into a pile.

It makes me wonder...

But now I'm tempted to write something snarky and jagged on their Throne of Skulls page on Facebook. Think I should?

It only means something if you've seen the director's cut version of the film, of course. :-)

GW authors: Gauss and Tesla are the names of human scientists, so why are they the names of zombie robot weapons?
I suggest the Ford personnel carrier and Westinghouse tank for the next Eldar products.

Presumably because zombie robots don't call them gauss or tesla in zombie robot language, but humans who observe the weapons have named them in their own language after human scientists. Your second point is still valid though :D

With all your legit causes for outrage, I feel bad pouring cold water on this one, but just for you, I've cracked into the necron data stream. "Gauss" in necron is 100110101011001111111011100101111100001001000101010100110000001010000010101001010101110101000000000111111110010101000111101100110011000101000011110110111011011011001001100010110001001011110101110010101101110001010011101010101111011111111100110100000111101

But we prefer "gauss" for short. It's like a gauss rifle in battletech. Hey, I wonder if CGL will send a C&D? :)

As well as being the names of scientists, they are also units of measurement (of magnetic flux density), so could very easily have survived into the grimdark future. They appear to use metres and kilometres in the Imperium.
