The way of shadows book series is really interesting here. It is objectively power fantasy trash, buuut the characters make mistakes constantly, male and female, sometimes without knowing, sometimes just because they are really angry. For some reason it makes the book series much more engaging to me for this.

I've lived in the UK almost my entire life and neither I nor anyone I know has had boiled beef? What are you talking about?

Yeah one of the reasons that house prices have been allowed to grow so insanely in the UK is the lack of an actual property tax. If I buy a £4 million house, I pay £4k a year in council tax.

Correct! All our local governments are going bankrupt. We do have council tax, but it's based on the theoretical value of your house in 1990, and caps at a very low number compared to the States.

Chuck it in a slow cooker with a spoonful of sugar and a tiny bit of water overnight.

There is the issue that local govt here have a *lot* of responsibilities, insufficient funding, and very very few ways to raise money. Property tax basically isn't a thing here. Councils start getting *creative* with their income.

If you use segments on both hands it's pretty easy to count up to 144.

A burn or possibly a phytophotodermatitis reaction. I had similar from handling parsnip leaves once.

e=mv^2, ice is ~.91 density, Chicxulub was a CM asteroid at around 2.12. So you need ~2.5 times the energy contribution from velocity, sqrt(2.5) = 1.58. So an icy body of the same size as a CM body needs to travel ~1.5 times faster to have the same energy.

There's like 5 actual silly stops on the tube, but where are the jokes about the US stations? Foggy Bottom? Ballston?

no ham just means village in old english. Hamlet is like froglet, just with the diminutive suffix. Tiny village.
