Weirdly, when you “research” actual flights, the Emirati based airlines stop in the Emirates and the Mauritius based ones stop in Mauritius. #fakenews

Next time you’re over, please can you ask them what their mathematical model is for predicting eclipses?

Are we really talking flat earth on here? We may as well start sacrificing goats in the hope for a bountiful petrol harvest at the garage The pseudo-scientific experiments/arguments are merritless, it’s a fabrication by a small group of people who have FE t-shirts and bumper stickers to sell to a public who, on the one hand are happy to have phones and internet and x-ray machines and aeroplanes, but in the same breath reject the very scientific method that made all those things possible. If you want to reject it, fine, but leave your car and your central heating and your healthcare behind as well. I get some people just want to believe in conspiracies, it makes them feel different and special and part of something, they fear the uncertainty of science, the idea that when some new evidence comes along, we just throw the previous hypothesis away and start again. This is seen as a weakness, but it’s obviously science’s greatest strength. The idea of dogmatically sticking to something, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary (or a complete absence of evidence), just because it’s comforting is bonkers. But all that’s just a psychological thing, it has no grounding in genuine discovery of anything new.

It's the coolest natural place I've ever been. If you ever get the chance to go, do it! Stay in a salt hotel, watch the astonishing night sky (with zero light pollution) then get really drunk on the local booze and annoy the Swiss couple you're travelling with by being incredibly slow to get up at 5am, with a horrible hangover, to go and watch the sun rise.

”Few items in the foreground”. So the astronauts plus, anything that doesn’t fit in with the narrative

Love the chocolate experiment @coldel

Same way anyone knows anything. It's what the bulk of evidence currently at our disposal supports.

When contemplating changes in the observed universe during the time of humans, you should consider that if the history of the universe is the size of a football pitch, then all of human history is an area the size of your hand.

So this guy has stuck a car in space, with a mannequin on board, using 21st century tech? Wow! Wake me up when one of his novelty “spaceships” have sent back twitpics showing people overtaking Voyager 1, in all its 1970s glory

along, nice Zed.

That thread is dedicated to arguing about EVs.

It’s been fully baked, but yeah I’m not really touching it for a good while yet.

It's been a while, but she went in for the door damage to be sorted and, as usual, the lads at St Anne's Bodywork centre did a fantastic job. I can't see any evidence of the blow in on the door or back quarter, which is exactly what I wanted. Today the weather has been ok, so she got her first wash since the work was done. It's been a fair few weeks since the post repair wash; involving snow, rain, grey, brown, hundred of motorway miles and moving house - total neglect. She doesn't look too bad for it though. As you can see, the damaged passenger door looks splendid now. I've not been able to give her the full treatment as my detailing stuff is still in storage, so I'm operating on two buckets, a mitt, shampoo, air freshener and CarPro Reload - no tyre shine and I might have to buy some emergency snow foam. Quick update on the new UEL and remap. I absolutely love the new sound, it not only makes it more Subaru and gives a nice worbly note at the lights, the increased volume takes care of the many squeaks and creaks inside the cabin. Puuurfect.

At least when it’s done you’ll have time to build that spaceship!
