• Commented on The Inevitable Brexit Thread (1)
  Ah, see here: European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Exit Day) (Amendment) Regulations 2019. But it's marked as “draft affirmative,” which, as I understand it, requires approval in Parliament before being signed into law....

• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  Dude, you broke the alphabet, too! The Laundry Alphabet A is for Auditor, hauls you over the coals, B is for Bob, apprenticed Eater of Souls. C is for Chthonians, who burrow below, D is for Dominique, friends call her...
• Commented on Unforeseen Consequences and that 1929 vibe
