Unpopular opinion, but John and his copy and paste posts are shite.

Probably wary of a potential failure being broadcast live all around the world in the worst-case scenario... "Losing face" is the worst thing in most Asian cultures including China. Meanwhile, the Ultima Thule press conference is on! They revealed the first clearer image of the object and it's confirmed to be contact binary and it's red!!! It's eithe Frosty the Snowman or BB8 This body is probably the oldest object seen by a spacecraft, and may have formed within the first few 100k years of the solar system, says the team geologist. Low velocity collisions and gravitational attraction created two large pieces, that later came together.

Shrinking Dead Sea could become tiny pool within decades Alex Rossi, Middle East correspondent 18 hrs ago The Dead Sea is shrinking at an even faster rate than ever before and could become just a tiny pool by the middle of this century. The bleak forecast comes from scientists who warn that the level of the sea is now falling by as much as 1.5m (5ft) each year. The biblical wonder of the world has suffered from years of drought and failed policies to try and avert what has been described as an "environmental disaster in slow motion".

That's another milestone waiting to happen; hopefully the landing's successful. It's a pity there's no live coverage from China.

Na mate, knowing DDW he would have made a stew out of the spider and it's spiderweb the mf.

"In 2015, a similar incident occurred in Sydney when police attended a house to find a “quite embarrassed” man throwing furniture at a spider, alone. " That one's got @Devil-Dick Willie's name wrote all over it.

No wonder @Toinho moves to Japan every now and then.

R.I.P. Nancy. Mother of the Hubble: Tributes paid to Nasa scientist 31 December 2018 Tributes are being paid to Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, the first woman to hold an executive position at the US space agency Nasa. Dr. Roman was known as "Mother of the Hubble" for her work on the early stages of the Hubble Space Telescope. Nasa said her most important legacy was the advancement of women in the sciences and the generations of young scientists she inspired. She died in Maryland on Wednesday at the age of 93. Dr. Roman was fascinated by the clear night skies of her childhood home in Nevada from a very early age. She joined an astronomy club when she was just 11 and her passion for stargazing continued throughout her life. But the young Dr. Roman had to fight prejudice to be allowed to study maths and science at school and university. "I still remember asking my high school guidance teacher for permission to take a second year of algebra instead of a fifth year of Latin," " she once told the Voice of America. "She looked down her nose at me and sneered, 'What lady would take mathematics instead of Latin?' That was the sort of reception that I got most of the way". Despite the obstacles, she obtained a doctorate in astronomy from the University of Chicago in 1949. A position in the United States Naval Research Laboratory followed. She was later recruited by Nasa to be its first chief of astronomy in 1959, where she would work for two decades. In a video released by Nasa in February, Dr. Roman said she never had problems with her male Nasa colleagues. "I was accepted very readily as a scientist in my job," she said. "The men were very co-operative, and I felt that the men treated me as one of the team without a problem." Her best-known contribution to the sciences is the planning of the Hubble Space Telescope, famous for its stunning images of the stars she had loved so much as a child. Launched in 1990, it has been described as one of the most important scientific instruments ever created. Throughout her career, Dr. Roman was a passionate advocate of women in the sciences, teaching astronomy to elementary school children in the 1990s. Her work has been recognized by a Women in Aerospace Lifetime Achievement Award and Nasa's Exceptional Scientific Achievement Award. In 2017, when Lego created a 231-piece Women of Nasa set, a figurine of Dr. Roman was included among four women identified as space pioneers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46720014

I appreciate that I am late to the party here. But fucking hell, Brian.

Guardiola: even when I try to read a book, my mind drifts onto Liverpool and their front 3. Klopp:

First images coming out tomorrow or the day after. We'll have to wait until February for the highest resolution pics though...

It's a quality game. Think I've got about 330 odd and I think that's a third of the total.

Erm @DeadLinesman I wouldn't look at @Cannabis Facebook feed if I were you...

Some of you are clueless for thinking Jones would get beat. He’s the greatest to ever step foot in a cage. Fully prepared unlike last time, easy win for him. This is the man who knocked out the “champ champ” in his last fight and made him cry . Cyborg getting KO’d in the first minute... what the fuck!! Not enough respect shown to Nunes who yet again shows her beastly power. Would like to see a rematch. Mad how far she’s come since the Cat Zingano loss.

What a fucking event. Volkanovski won a match I didn't think he would. And he fucking dominated. An arrogant prick, but he does live just down the road from me so what can you expect? Latifi won that first round, but a guy his size with his gas tank has to just about win the match in the first round. Anderson was smart, and dominated the 2nd and 3rd without ever risking anything. Chiesa with a fucking brutal SINGLE HANDED kimura lock. Never seen anything quite like it. I love watching technical grappling and this was class. Nunes. What can I even say. She has dynamite for fingers and atom bombs for hands. She MONSTERED Cyborg. I would love to see a rematch however, some respect from Cyborg would lead to a more technical fight Jon Jones defeated Gustafson. What can I say, all the shit Jones has been talking about how during their first fight Jones didn't even prepare and had no idea about or respect for his opponent... must have been true. A focused, dangerous Jones absolutely coasted through this. Never left 2nd gear. Gustafson was so far out of his depth it was scary. Never got close to the PfP GOAT. What a fighter Jones is.
