I like to write, I also pride myself on strong grammar. The frustration I get from AI stealing traits such as the em-dash is endless. What used to be a sign of a good copy writer is now interpreted as somebody who's lazy and relies on AI to do their writing.

Your periodic reminder that at least half the little numbers on the Wikipedia page you're looking up to try and own Dan on chemical weapons...link to his material. He's literally the source.

Medal rooms without sufficent context are pointless. I did make a trip specifically to see a VC, because it was Vivian Curry's VC that the Canadian War Museum had just acquired. The history drove the visit, not a bit of old canon bronze.

The criminality of a war of conquest aside, there was the established Wehrmacht practice of civilian hostage taking and reprisal executions. All sides committed war crimes sure, but on the Western front at least, only one made it policy.

My girlfriend has started to notice that I'm on my phone in the middle of the night and I'm taking it into the bath with me. She probably thinks im having an affair but in reality I'm trying to hide all the expensive warhammer 40k stuff I'm buying for my new Ork army.

As a GM, I would just scan and give copies of the appropriate grids for their PCs to the players. For wargames, I have seen spiral bound used to good effect when there are up to 4 frequent tables. Stick a coloured tab on each page and it's easy to flip to use them. Perfect bound not so much.

If the Japanese was "golden calfu" it would track but apparently it's 金の仔牛 / Kin-no-kushi (zhou). I also can't find any cultural transformation like that of Jesus or Christmas. But - just maybe the conspiracy runs reeeealy deep.... 😉 Thanks for a fun rabbit hole on a Friday morning

If so that's pretty frigging deep. The surface read is obvious but yeah the possible biblical context is wild. To be honest I'd never heard of them but I was curious why there was Katakana and not Hebrew in your post.

Ministers should be at a minimum vaguely aware of the sectors they represent. Preferably directly involved themselves, but in the current world, (not just the UK) they should have at least read a pamphlet on the subject.

They won't exactly be dumped in the village. The housing site site is over 5k as the crow flies from Piddington - on the other side of the villages of Ambrosden and Arncott...

Pat G @patg63.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Sorry I'm not familiar with the area but it would appear on the map that Arncott and Ambrosden are 1) larger and 2) between Piddington and the proposed housing site. Further, HM Prison Bullingdon, full of actual criminals, is right next door to Piddington. What am I missing here?
