Hey now, I don't necessarily give into every errant urge that comes on. 
True story, my first Halloween at Microsoft I showed up and thought I wound up at a Star Trek convention.
They'd improve developer productivity dramatically if they'd localize Visual Studio to Klingon.

I wish it was better presented.
I've seen a lot of Warhammer 40k on social media these days.
I have no clue what it is and don't know if I need to invest time into looking into it.

Same. The scale between the smallest and the largest is so big, trying to find anything is a complete waste of time.
This is why the logarithmic scale was invented, but that would still be hard to follow.

Of course the ideal would be to display them in a similar way to this...

Planck length to observable universe in one image!

Ah yes, that one's a classic.
Thanks for reminding me this exists.

Agreed, the scale makes it kind of complex.
That thing from Independence Day is 24km and almost everything else is very tiny in comparison.
I think it was designed to be a poster, so an interactive website that allows you to zoom in and out is not an option.
Although I think searching for that one spaceship you like and finding all kinds of ships along the way is part of the charm.

Warhammer (Fantasy) is a tabletop game that features all kinds of miniatures.
It's set in a high fantasy setting like Lord of the Rings.
I don't know how it works because I've never played it, but no doubt you've seen the grey miniatures sometime (even if you didn't know it was Warhammer).
I believe just collecting and/or painting the miniatures is a hobby of some people, but of course they are meant to be used to play the game.
A friend of mine used to collect them, but it's a very expensive hobby (with the larger miniatures costing over €100 a piece and some very large and rare models even over €1000) so he decided to find another one.
Warhammer 40.000 (or 40K) is a sci-fi spin-off of Warhammer (40K is the year it starts, the 41st millennium).
Its lore is more dark and complex and features additional gameplay elements, such as vehicles, and of course new miniatures.
Where Warhammer has swords and bows Warhammer 40K has huge guns and spaceships.
Both have at least humans and orcs.
Both have been around since the 80's ('83 and '87 respectively), but they've recently seen a rise in popularity (during lockdowns maybe?).
A (video) game set in the Warhammer universe is released pretty much monthly, like the recent popular Space Marines 2 (I believe a shooter set in the 40K setting).
The games differ in genre, like turn based and real time strategy, shooter, RPG and even sports.
Personally, I'd like to get into it, but I can't really tell where to start since it's so huge and it has been around for so long...
I still have the Shadows of the Horned Rat video game from the 90's (no idea where I got it and I never got very far either).
I guess one of the recent video games is as good as place to start as any.
Whether you should get into it is up to you

Good afternoon,
Really a head scratcher this error...
typedef EHC_CPRB EHC_PTR* EHC_CPRBP;
Keep on getting an error C2371 and its only defined once in all header files in the VS solution... Don't know why the compiler is complaining about this ....
Any help / guidance / tips will be greatly appreciated !
Thank you !

As it says at the top of the page, this is not the forum for technical queries.
Try asking here: C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards[^] or here: Questions and Answers[^]
But when you do, please try to give as much info as you can on the problem and what you are trying to do to fix it, why that doesn't work and so forth: Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - so we only get what you tell us to work on! The better the info you give us, the better the solution we can give you.

I’ll make a comment that has to do less with programming( it’s the lounge ) and more with common sense. I’ll give you a cultural example.
If you say numbers and words are different basic types that’s not true. The Old Covenant for instance is about both words and numbers.
If you take the Eastern Orthodox Church and Chinese culture that’s conflicting basic types. EOC is very sign oriented ( the cross for instance) the Chinese culture is very sign oriented as well. It’s a mismatch. (that’s not a problem because the two don’t meet in real life anyways.)

Wild guess: MOLECULAR? Moles and mountains, tiny particles?
Pretty sure it's way out.

Nope. Might offer a hint in another hour or so (if I can think of one which isn't a dead giveaway.)

Yep! My first idea was "Really big heaps of antimuons" but I went the reverse.
