Looks like National Action (still around but hiding, or some cosplayers) decided to respond to the racist banner guy being fired by sending hate pamphlets to Black and Asian owned businesses. "One Britian, white brave" etc. Also they're pro Scottish independence but only because they hate the Scots for not being British  Also going to target your Post Offices (?) Beginning to think they're violent and not smart.

Also I'm pretty sure the british mountains are fairly movable, they ran a river through one in Wales. Also what happens with soil erosion, is it washing all the free government out into the sea? Do we have to stop importing fertilizer?

It looks like somewhere East of Vilnius. As far as east of Vilnius goes, Astravets is about 50km east & Belarus is building it's first nuclear reactors there, with the first expected to go online this year. In fact lemme a quote World Nuclear News, which may or may not be a reliable source, I know gently caress all about nuclear energy: "Hot-tests were completed at unit 1 on 15 April. The next stage in preparing the unit for physical start-up includes an audit of the main and auxiliary equipment of the primary and secondary circuits, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-June." So I'm not saying, I'm just saying. lol I spent so long looking for confirmation on when the plant went online that I was beaten.

Didn't this happen a couple of years ago, and it turned out to be from some Cold War hangover Russian nuclear waste lab that is the only place in the world that can still make some substance that was needed for space missions?

If it's Astravets then that could be good news, because it could be a minor incident, Vilnius is saying elevated but safe. It's hard to tell though, because hello I am Russia and I love transparency  So it could be (but is very unlikely) that something has gone turbo bad in the Urals, or it could be something far less bad in Smolensk.

I mean Post Office prices for parcels especially have gone up quite a bit since RM privatization in my experience. I was so shocked at a price for sending a parcel for a friend late last year that the Subpostmaster (who did happen to be Asian) helped me work out a better price. I can imagine some white racist piece of poo poo getting a high price for sending a letter and being a giant prick about it, maybe made a scene, got ordered out, and has held a 2 year grudge against Burnley Post Office.

(One of my nephews used to play that all the time when he was living at my mum's - his mum had died and my brother was homeless for a bit). I like bangy 'classical' music sometimes which some of these tracks are  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCVvhfyV5wQ Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Jun 27, 2020 |

I used to have all the boxed sets on VHS - cost me over £300 back in the late 90s but I gave them away when I moved abroad). Desperately trying to recall what the second reminds me of!

Except that Boris and all of his extremely inbred mates have arranged to make a huge amount of money off the back of no deal. I’m sure they’ll try to persuade the EU to let them sign something of no consequence that they can wave around as proof of their victory, but there is absolutely no chance they agree any meaningful deal. The only question is if the EU lets them get away with signing some empty toothless promise, but I doubt they’ll even get that.

Prior to DVD's, Box Sets cost a small fortune and took up massive sections of your house. Then DVD's let you have the same amount of stuff for 1/5th of the price. And now with Streaming services it's like 1/5th of that.

If enough large businesses get the jitters as the deal date approaches then he'll fold and come up with a halfway compromise that satisfies nobody and then he'll attempt to break it. That's more likely that straight no deal if that starts to happen.

The Question IRL posted:It just goes to show how much of a difference DVD's did to the Box Set way of business. Before I moved abroad in 2006/7, I had an entire wall of vinyl, VHS, CDs, books. About 10x more than that now resides on a hard-drive the size of the palm of my hand. Approx 20000 ebooks, 300 movies, 25 full tv series, thousands of photos, etc etc. And I can put entire tv series on a finger-nail size microSD card (I use 32GB size as I've found it most interchangeable) so I can watch on my tablet. I have a little wallet for the SD cards (I keep them in the big adapters) and have as much in there as said entire wall. It's just so different in the last 15 years! Makes living in a small 1bed flat doable.

There used to be a good advert for that one, a beautiful pic of Xena (Lucy Lawless not a cartoon) with a dagger in her hand and the words 'the way to a man's heart is through his ribcage' in big writing on it. I had it framed on my kitchen wall. No wonder boyfriends didn't last long!

Of course not. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, in an up and under motion, so Terry Pratchett says. Ribs are too close together and the heart is a tricky thing to hit. But for those who enjoy knitting and might need to escape a dangerous situation, the way to a man's lungs are definitely though his ribcage.
