Tsietisin posted:Is that better or worse? Because the numbers at the centre are lower than the isobar around it, that means the storm being lower than expected is bad, as it's a low pressure system. So the lower the pressure the more ominous the storm. Also the closer the isobars are on the map the stronger the windows, that's the other thing to look at. Yes, somehow I remember Standard Grade Geography despite it being 22 years ago.

I can imagine there definitely are pro-Putin Marxists who don't shoot terrorists, because I know what small communist groups are like, but I bet they're three unpleasant beardy men who meet in a pub and absolutely hate the two postmodern neomarxists at the next table (one of whom is an outspoken Jordan Peterson fan). I'm just less sure what any of it has to do with anything.

So is the entire UK going to get turned into sand by a hyperstorm by tomorrow afternoon? It'd be a pretty cool loving end honestly as looking at the map the only thing left is north of Inverness which then gets a new ice age. Fitting.

It's going to hit the SW from around 6am, and I'm predicted to have 90mph gusts directly hitting my lounge window by 9am. If you don't hear from me, please send

That's been mothballed for a few months now due to laziness, so no, unless my cat's been experimenting with it while I'm asleep. This is my new toy, a Mad Heaters Revolve. British designed and manufactured, and is a masterpiece of design, aesthetics and functionality.

Oh cool, the Bovington Tank Museum is showing the AVRE off! quote:The turret, initially not required, was retained allowing a spigot mortar firing a petard to be added. The petard mortar was a separate development, firing a large demolition charge, the "Bomb, Demolition Number I", that became known as the "flying dustbin". Development on this began in September 1942 and was united with the Churchill turret following experimental use on a Covenanter tank. With plenty of space inside the Churchill, a number of "flying dustbins" could be carried in addition to the demolitions stores. The petard was reloaded through a sliding cover that replaced one of the forward drivers hatches in the top of the hull.  AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers)'s spigot mortar, the flying dustbin and a Royal 'Gineer.

Welp just been told schools in Hampshire to be closed today due to the storm. Most of my smarter colleagues have all left their laptops at school. Sounds like I’m the only one remote teaching. (Like any of the kids will show up on the last day of half term) Warhammer 3 just came out

Lol the storm has begun to land here, and most of my neighbours are still blithely putting their recycling bins out (it's bin day, you see) , even though cardboard and plastic has already been strewn around from people putting it out last night.
