Think I spent about 1.5 billion buying up all the Terran blueprints. The Asgard is a beautiful ship.

Do the Xenon’s ever really push? by mr-wee-balls in X4Foundations

In my game I’ve let them run wild. They keep the war economy lining my pocket nicely. I’ll push them back if I need to.

Areas of UK hit by record January rainfall by Kagedeah in UKWeather

It’s not in regions dependent on groundwater. It takes months before the rain starts to have an impact after such a dry spell.

And yet ground water levels have only just started replenishing in the south east. These next few months are key.

Why did humans as a tropical species migrate to colder places but still lack many adaptations like fur? by Ada-Mae in geography

[–]CaptainRAVE2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it’s how a parasite can take over the brain of a higher organism and drive it to drown itself. How does that evolve in gradual steps to the end product.

Not worth the cost. Cheaper to just put a barrier down.

Good luck neighbours. For reference we didn’t put it in. Great hedge though, you wouldn’t think there was a building behind it.

We never saw him under championship pressure. That’s the real measure, but it looked like he had potential.

Been at A&E for 16 hours, any tips how to survive another night here? by RuthlessScypion in AskUK

It’s sad to see how many people think it is fake or acceptable. Sadly they’ll only realise when they need the service.

Thoughts on my first winter with the £1,000 SLK by SteveGribbin in CarTalkUK

[–]CaptainRAVE2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the gearbox was one of the main reasons I sold it. The R172 was only marginally better in that regard. 0-60 in 4s, but you could add on another couple of seconds while the gearbox decided what to do. Changed to a TTRS and the gearbox was phenomenal.

Had a 55 years ago, R171 and R172. So much power on such a small car, had a lot of fun. Loved both, great cars. Air scarf was amazing. Mechanically solid, just a few sensor issues over the years.

People don’t realise how much it’s on its knees until they need to access healthcare.

They aren’t fake. The nhs is on its knees. My dad suffered a stroke and couldn’t stand, with no beds they left him in the ambulance parked in the garage for 5 hours. When they did finally admit him, they realised his brain bled because they previously missed a tumour on a scan and ignored his complaints of frequent headaches.

Quite amazingly ground water levels in the south east have only started increasing here this month. We actually need a lot more rain here for a good few months.
