  • They are refillable at least the lost mary bm6000 is (only one I’m familiar with), it’s actually pretty easy and gives you 10ml in a very small device a big advantage over normal vapes where in the UK the tank can only be 2ml.

    They really need to either change that law (2ml is nothing) or start designing reusable vapes that attach the bottle in the same way so you don’t have to constantly refill.

    To me the advantage is a small size and the 10ml container being cleverly attached to skirt a silly law.

    Original x-com was great you had lots of research to do, bases to set up with defenses, manufacturing, storage, radars etc. Could make money from both loot and manufacturing your own products.

    Then there was intercepting UFOs with your fighters followed by the actual missions were you could use all your researched gear, get loot, capture Aliens to interrogate for more research and level up your soldiers.

    I still play the openxcom version now and again with various mods but yeah as a kid I used to play the original on the original PlayStation with its mouse and it’s without a doubt the game I’ve probably spent more time on than any other.

    Wasn’t a huge fan of the remade ones to me the original is the best one.





  • Truthfully they arrested my dad at the same time as trying to get me which made me feel guilty as hell despite the fact I didn’t know what was going on.

    I’m not actually sure why a “barrister” my dad hired him first and then probably because of my dad I let him stand for me also…

    I only regretted it when I saw the bill, he did keep me out of all the nonsense since he was hired though but yeah Bill made me poor for a long TIME, Same time he might be the only one who made the police behave.


  • I was in the position I felt I had no choice they kept demanding things like non existent Facebook accounts, they wouldn’t tell me what I was accused off even it was just constant interviews at places harder and harder for me to get to. I was starting to go mad because I didn’t even understand why they had raided me in the first place.

    It cost me a lot more than I could afford to hire a barrister but I had the strong feeling I’d be jailed without even knowing why if I didn’t.

    But yeah the whole thing seemed to stem from one guys joke at somewhere I wasn’t.



  • Nope it’s just my honest reaction to both the UK police and Elon musk. I’ve been raided by the UK police based on someone’s else’s “joke” when I wasnt there.

    I think they forced me to go to about 6 different stations for 8 or so interviews and a mental health evaluation for something I knew absolutely nothing about (someone else joked I might shoot up my workplace when I was on 3 weeks into a damn holiday and some newstart panicked and called the Belfast mayor or something) ) and they repeatedly wouldn’t even tell me what it was even about.

    They (the police) just fished for absolutely anything they could dream up I assume to suck up to the mayor.

    I Mean they were demanding thing like non existent Facebook accounts, asking me why I need a broken laser pointer which was a cheap £1 Keyring gimmick even when new, had a tiny pocket knife in my bedroom, why did I vape did that mean I was a drug addict etc

    Cost me about 6 months wages to eventually go hire a barrister when it became obvious they would do just about anything to get me on anything and I guess therefore justify their nonsense raid, only then did I even get even an idea of what was going on.

    As for Elon I’ve thought he was an asshole since he sued top gear and lost in court, he’s done nothing of note to me since but make me want to punch him harder. .

    I’m also N Irish not American and couldn’t give the slightest damn about politics there.

    Congrats you talked my worst experience ever out of me and I’m not sure why even.
