Hello, dear

These types very predictably getting completely carried away on a magic carpet ride kept aloft by their own farts and taking Joe Biden's win as proof of the supremacy of centrism when it was the narrowest of victories over a fascist enabling loon who goes around spay painted orange

lol i'm sure all the Americans who voted for Trump will see the error of their ways and agree in due course

Only because of the electoral college system. If you look at the actual raw numbers he had 7 million more votes and no matter how you cut it that's a lot.

Not trying to be weaselly, but I’d wager it depends on how you count the win. Percentage-wise, it wasn’t huge, but there’s still a delta of literal millions in the popular vote. Ignore the racist electoral college if you can.

For me it was close enough that America is still embarrassing itself, but not much I can do about that.

Edit: ^ yes, additionally one can make the serious claim that more people voted for joe Biden than any president in history (population growth aside, it’s a ‘fun’ fact)

The question also remains whether or not that had anything to do with biden or everything to do with trump.

And also whether it makes a difference if your policy is "exactly what the other guys are doing but with a different guy in charge."

To be fair around where I live we’ve had a few fireworks going off here and there, with a decent chunk on the 5th as you’d expect, but there was an enormous increase after the news broke about Biden winning.

Could be a coincidence but it did feel like people were celebrating the fall of Trump.

Same, I hadn't heard many fireworks at all until that point. Had to ask around my work group until I was reminded of the 5th of Nov.

I think even if Biden does exactly the sort of economics poo poo that Trump did, he's going to have a different cabinet advising him, probably wealthy Dem shites rather than the most brainwrong collection of Brietbart assholes in existence, and he's also not going to be tweeting encouragement that directly leads to synagogue shooters, even if that's only because he's napping or forgot what Jews are.

So socially it's going to be better at least.

to be fair, "we almost didn't win due to our lovely electoral system" is still a form of closeness and may well be cause for concern in future, unless biden abolishes the electoral college

but yeah the real big failure was downticket races as far as I can tell?

I’d wager more one than the other but people have a misguided view of Biden as a lovable uncle type.

Despite the left pushing the same policy narrative, the two administrations are still going to be pretty different. I’m not pleased by joe Biden as president but it’s just not going to be the same as a Trump presidency, a gross public desire to “go back to normal” aside (yes, I know, both parties are informed by capital Im not denying that).

Unfortunately it’s really difficult to talk about the differences on this board because you get accused of instantly supporting Obama’s terrible policies.

I’d say so, in part because of the terrible candidates some ran (ugh, “centrists”) and the awful people in charge of the house re-election groups

The cheese rolling was cancelled. Four minutes later, the BabyBel was eaten along with two other small cheeses. But on that glorious moment in November 2020, that BabyBel went higher, farther, and faster than any other Briton; it was the last cheese ever to roll down a hill alone. And for a brief moment, Mini BabyBel became the greatest Briton anyone had ever seen.

The UKMT Fudge Baron


Fudge News!


So, exciting times here. While we're still waiting to move, I've not been idle- we now have a brand spanking new website and online ordering. I'm not publicising this to the wider internet yet, but I would really appreciate if anyone with a need for a fudge fix heads over and places an order or two! I need to test out various bits and pieces, and as you'll see the site is still rather barebones (stock images, and I need product photos) but I want to test ordering functionality and figure out the workflow etc.

Website is now live at https://www.fudjit.co.uk

I've also got several new flavours to try out, as well as limited stock of an assortment of old favourites!

New flavours are:

Dark Chocolate and Chilli

A goon request this one; dark chocolate fudge combined with dried red chillis for a bittersweet and spicy hit! Seriously, this one has a sting in its tail- eat slowly!

Whisky and Candied Ginger

This is one of my personal favourites. Sottish whisky and finely chopped pieces of candied ginger make for a complex and delicious fudge with a pleasant warmth lingering afterwards. Tastes like a ginger nut biscuit, if it was made out of fudge rather than biscuit. :)

Irish Cream

Irish Cream Liqueur combined with our delicious fudge- it's basically a no-brainer! Creamy and rich, with a faint note of booze on the aftertaste.





Once the stock listed on the website is gone, I'll be re-shuttering until after the move- which is dragging on interminably, but /should/ be completed this month.

Cheers!

brief UX point - if possible, an "add to basket" option on the shop page under the fudges, once you have product photos, could prevent people having to click into each fudge subtype's page and add stuff from there. smoother basketing means more impulse purchases!

the quick view thing is ok but, uh, not all that quick. and doesn't have any descriptions, which you are doubtless aware of

e: your address auto-complete is picking up addresses that aren't in the selected country field. i nearly sent some fudge to thailand
