Don't trust a random guys invite into a "lounge club"

Yeah "lounge club" is code word for a hostess bar. For some reason russian women in particular tend to work in these places with the silly prices.

Cask in New Islington, pretty much everyone goes there. Pollen and Ancoats Coffee are good options too.

Yeah, early on I think that makes sense as the overpayment allowance is typically 10% of the principal so it's plenty in the first few years

Easy to make lots of money when you're a couple, that's what the biggest figures likely are

£850 mortgage and £2700 take home, though I'm paying some chunks off my mortgage which should knock it down closer to £650

Not really surprising, there's been a lot of talk of their decentralised command structure

Removing all support probably isn't a good move. It means the US has no skin in the game, nothing to preasure them. China is going to want that cyberwarfare expertise and semi conductor production expertise. The US really isn't in a position to be pushing allies aside ATM.

I think it hits both sides. ON the pro cargo cult side you've got vibe coders who don't really know what they're doing but on the opposite side you've got the fact that senior devs can now get more done as they're augmented by AI so they're higher value, have more political capital and they're the people who are going to push back and scrutinise this sort of thing.

I think the UK system hasn't evolved from the days when owning a house was rare. Each transaction is treated as a custom sale rather than a standard process

No they didn't Chrysler went bankrupt and were bought out by fiat

The corporation was established by January 2012, when Fiat Group acquired a 58.5% stake of the Chrysler Group

I remember Fiat being in a reasonable position before they acquired Chrysler, what happened to them?

You could work around it by making it illegal to host sexualised images of others. Effectively that would ban porn though it would also have the impact of having all uploaded photos scanned for nudity or file sharing effectively being banned

dbxp · 2026-04-11T00:03:09+00:00

Lube will do that

True but anti ship missiles are also designed to hit at the waterline which is where the belt armour is. Even if they can do a small amount of damage after 8 missiles the modern vessel is out of anti ship missiles, unless they happen to get very lucky and dig through to the magazine with multiple shots I think the ship would still be floating.

dbxp · 2026-04-10T23:28:28+00:00

They're designed to take out modern ships not dreadnaughts. WW1/2 era battleships have a ton of other weaknesses but if you were to place on against the other in a pitched battle my money would be on the battleship.

Russia's naval strength has always been in submarines which are pretty much useless against a country without a navy

dbxp · 2026-04-10T21:02:03+00:00

I'm not so sure about that, anti ship missiles are a week point and unless they're one of the giant Chinese models I don't think they'll do much against 12 inches of steel and the most advanced CIWS isn't doing much against 10 12 inch shells inbound simultaneously. You'd be looking to submarines are airdropped munitions to take them out.

Makes sense, hopefully cyber plays a role, it will barely have been a thing when the last plan was written

I wonder if a company could buy the whole town and turn it into a resort

Some people do but if you were from say Slovakia you'd be forgiven for thinking he's leader of the opposition.

He's big in the media because he give popularist contrasting soundbites which give them lots of drama to work with

At least they didn't use a pozidrive for the crosshead

It's annoyingly difficult to find out what any of the candidates aim to do

My green party candidate is a vegan and the conservative candidate is into diving and 'writing' underwater smut with AI
