wow.

Finished the Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War by Michael Neufeld yesterday. A very solid and fascinating read - well balanced, meticulous, with a lot of technical and engineering details documenting not only Von Braun's life, but also part of the history of USA's space programme. Went through some 700 pages in just a couple of days, although I'm not someone who likes reading biographies, normally. Now reading: First book in Robinson's Mars trilogy that chronicles the colonisation and terraforming of Mars, spanning almost two centuries.

Relax, it was just a joke. However, if you want a serious response regarding Tönnies' financial offer - Schalke had no issues with accepting money from other highly questionable entities in order to save their arses in the past, so not sure why where would be this faux outrage now.

Likely a replacement for Eggestein when he returns back to Bremen in summer then. We'll see how he does.

What position does he play?

Nothing in official channels yet...

What integrity?...

Yeah, I thought I was having a dejavu when I was typing it

I personally enjoyed Season 3 more than Season 2; there was too much of the teenage love triangle drama bollocks in Season 2 for my liking, and that massive final fight felt extremely unrealistic. And yes, I absolutely agree that they should stop after Season 4, just kick Kreese's arse and be done with it I loved that they showed his background in those flashbacks, by the way... Have you watched Wayne? It also started as a Youtube Premium original at first, then got canceled after Season 1, and is now on Amazon Prime with some rumours about it getting renewed. Highly recommend! Great, funny, easy to binge show.

Such a beautiful photo.

Watched 1979 Dutch GP last night. Crazy race with only 7 cars finishing. Also this was insane by Gilles Villeneuve:

I don't particularly mind if Australia is gone off calendar again. Boring track. Now, if they could race on Mount Panorama...

Jokes aside, DTM could be interesting this year. They move from silhouette to GT3 spec cars, then we have a Jenson Button team (McLaren) and Keke Rosberg team competing, now it seems Red Bull will be backing a team as well...

Alex Albon and Liam Lawson set to drive in DTM with Red Bull backing in upcoming season!

Cooked Uzbek-style Plov with lamb for the first time today... My grandma used to cook it when I was a kid, and I haven't eaten it for years. Served with a simple tomato & onion salad.

Binged it all on the New Year's Day haha.

Cobra Kai Season 3 is out!

Dakar Rally starts in less than 3 days! New route: Entry list: https://www.dakar.com/en/competitors

It's the latter. All those numbers are estimates based on what we’ve seen with the interval between doses in the two-dose studies. No studies have been specifically done on efficacy of a single dose; not for Pfizer/BioNTech, not for Moderna, not for AstraZeneca/Oxford. However, that limited trial data suggests moderate to high efficacy after a single dose; the main issue seems to be lack of data on how long does the immunity last, whether it fades away much faster without the second booster dose, and whether a longer delay between the two doses is significantly detrimental for long-term immunity. More data would be nice, but either way, the limited data we do have seems to suggest that a single dose is enough to prevent severe cases and significantly reduce hospitalisations for weeks (longest interval between the two doses was 26 weeks in the AZ/Oxford trials), which is pretty encouraging. The only vaccine that has trialed a one-dose protocol is the Johnson & Johnson one, the data should be available any time now, and they are also running an additional two-dose protocol trials, so that should be very useful in providing a direct comparison of a single vs multiple dose regimens.

It's not the headline of the Japanese, though... It's poor reporting by the BBC.

Huh? How exactly is it going to reduce space junk? Instead of metal junk orbiting the Earth you will just have wooden junk floating in orbit... Space junk is space junk because it doesn't de-orbit, doesn't matter if it's wood or any other material. What a misleading headline.

But it was back then when you were still Argh! I'm a Pirate and he was massdebates (I think) Both Liverpool fans and both quality posters still kinda explains it though...

I used to confuse you two, for whatever reason
