Just completed this set from the Lego Ninjago Movie, certainly the version of the Destiny's Bounty I liked the best. Really enjoyable - it sits nicely among the 2 sections of Ninjago City that I have built.

Next I would like to expand the city with an 'old town' comprised of siheyuan style courtyard homes (I have some designed in stud.io), and build a suspended monorail (like a Schwebebahn, @Oliver Schick may know what I mean) as one featured in the movie.

The solution is that only rich guilty people should be able to chance their arm?

I think they ended up quite good after they got H&K to refurb them.

They had a St. John restaurant near Stonehenge?

Trump's core base are lower-middle-class though, aren't they? Mom-and-Pop business owners masquerading as working class people.

Dylan writes amazing songs, he just shouldn't be allowed to perform them himself.

Getting some of their income from invested capital, basically. There are lots of people who think they're middle class yet get all their income through working. They're wrong.

Just spouting libertarian points that the average 15 year old tory would find facile.

What are you having for dinner tonight, Kier?

GOOSE.

Good for them. My son beseeched me to 'vote for Jeremy Corbyn'.

Finger on the pulse there, that lad.

It's also why the Roman baths in Bath aren't open to the public for bathing, anymore.

This was so badly executed it feels like a case of malicious compliance.

That's a blasst from the passt.

"Our Ma will come"? Bit frisky.

Pretty sure that's exactly what it is. The autoloaders line up the shells in a ring around the cupola, and a lot of the MLAW type stuff the Ukrainians are using strike the tanks from above, where they are more vulnerable, too. Ignite the shells in the turret and it blows right off.

Historically Russian tank design seems to have favoured smaller tanks, which made sense when the main threat to a tank was another tank - harder to spot and harder to hit. The preference for autoloaders over manual loading is part of this. It seems that this design preference is quite disadvantaged in the era of smart weapons.

In this situation it unfortunately comes loaded with context. I agree with @snottyotter - they shouldn't get to own it - but the far right spend a lot of effort on loading otherwise innocuous terms with their own meaning for a variety of reasons, and simply ploughing on with using the term 'your own way' is one of the ways that this can benefit them, since it can create the impression that they have broader support than they actually do. I've not got all the answers on that front, for sure.

By including an ultranationalist political party in with the designs, you risk doing Putin's work for him. @drøn's misgivings are bang on.

Turns out Billy Bragg has called Beton out for being fash sympathisers:

I heard that she demanded every copy of Windows be shipped with a slide rule.

The West needed this plan in like 1991, instead of that Shock Therapy bullshit that knocked 20 years off life expectancy in the former USSR.

But to be fair to the West, they need some kind of plan for shoring up liberal democracy and strengthening institutions in the West too, to avoid dark forces from the Right taking grip here.

Pretty sure that reactors belonging to Syria, Iraq, and Iran have been attacked by foreign powers, although Iran's was attacked via cyber, and neither the Iraqi nor Syrian facilities were running when they were bombed.

Fuck Putin, it's Strava he's worried about.

How odd - my son just found a 10 kopek coin from the USSR!

They've spent a lot of money on deep shelters in recent years, presumably to mitigate this exact scenario.

Sounds like she was briefed against by someone in Labour?!
