He established a remote lab in the jungle in Belize to try and perfect a drug he called "super perv powder" that was mostly MDPV and random poo poo he found in the jungle like dirt, so it's probably safer to assume that there were some than that there were none.

Fudge restock!

We’ve just restocked multiple flavours at https://www.fudjit.co.uk - on the website now in addition to many other delicious flavours you’ll find fresh drops of the following:

Original Vanilla
Lemon Meringue Pie
Chocolate Orange
Veganilla
Vegan cookies
Vegan Biscoff


All c.100g bars of fudge cost £3.50 plus postage, and as always you can use the special goon code ‘roastbeefisbest’ to get 5-for-4 on all flavours.

Happy fudging

I bought some for my Dad for Fathers' Day and he said "Just to update you... these fudges are seriously wicked! Lovely gooey texture & taste.

If you've not tried them yourself yet, you really should. Never had any fudge like them before."

And that's very high praise. I've bought my parents fudge from like, properly artisanal expensive fudge places before, which I've also tried myself and found to be excellent, so I know he's had the good stuff before also, he's not just comparing it to like, Tesco's fudge or something.

So thanks for that! :)

There's no 'just' about it. Its intentionally hard to do, you need another citizenship first and you face an exit tax.

You also still technically have to file even if you happen to live somewhere with a tax treaty with the US that keeps them off your earnings below about $90k. This is why I didn't take out US citizenship despite having lived there long enough to apply.

Some of the younger members of the Pakistani diaspora have adopted akhi as a thing, as a close soundalike of the Arabic (and wider Islamic) word for 'my brother/friend' and also far less offensive than the alternative with a hard leading P, but it was the British tabloids that ruined the original word there.

Desi hasn't reached anywhere that level of bad yet, but I don't underestimate the ability of our press to make something terrible on a heartbeat. It's like the euphemism treadmill but worse.

They just fire missile from a hundred miles away and you explode.

The funny thing is that an actual genuine war probably *would* end up with a lot of glide bombs (well, probably laser-guided ones) being lobbed about. It's much, much easier and cheaper to jam, decoy, or otherwise evade inbound missiles than it is to develop measures to evade such jamming, and the hit rate of state of the art guided anti-ship missiles has been startlingly low pretty much constantly through their lives.

Of course it's practically a suicide mission for the pilots, but a glide-toss bombing run is effectively unstoppable if the attacking force has a good idea of your position and the disposition of your ships and can get a fast jet into visual range of them, and we had automated sights capable of setting it all up since the 1950s.

(Glide toss is one of those weird "Okay Biggles" things you read about but it works really loving well - fly at a known altitude and speed towards a target at a known distance. At some point, pull up sharply and an automated mechanism releases the bomb on a ballistic trajectory which can be accurate within a couple of metres. It was developed for low-level delivery of nuclear weapons (the idea being that you want the nuke to go off a good few thousand feet up but you want your plane considerably lower than that to avoid radar, and also that flying your bomber directly over the target is nobody's idea of a good time). It can literally be done with a clockwork mechanism if you can rely on your pilot to guess the distance properly, modern radar and visual rangefinding means the pilot just follows a little dot on the screen and the computers sort it all out for it. Because all the defences on modern warship are set up around defeating incoming missiles, a big lump of high explosive coming in from a high angle is basically impossible to deal with)
