Toprak picked up yet another injury during today's friendly against St. Pauli We should sue BVB for tricking us into buying a cripple for 5 million.

You're welcome... Been ordering from them for the past 20 years; it's great. Customer service is also very good, if you ever have to use it. I think their international website has been acquired by Amazon, but the original UK one is still the same.

David Abraham set to retire in January.

Get in there

Check out Book Depository, they are in the UK and offer a huge variety of books in various languages, free delivery.

Ex Machina (2014) Whoa. A very well executed, cerebral movie about a young programmer who gets tasked with performing the Turing test on a highly advanced AI. Just the perfect balance of sci-fi and psychology. Really enjoyed this one. 9/10

47 Ronin (2013) Really enjoyed this take on the 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves and some fantasy elements mixed into it. A typical Oriental story 7/10 Europa Report (2013) A found footage film about the first crewed mission to Europa. Really surprised with this one, it had only a small budget so the visuals are not stunning, but the acting is good, the story is plausible, and there's insane attention to technical details - they apparently consulted NASA when making the movie, and it shows. An enjoyable indie scifi flick. On a side note, if we ever make it up Europa for real, I fully expect trouble, given how numerous movies portray it 7.5/10

Yeah

Did you miss the reveal in the end this time?

Slightly related... This is amazing.

Any kind of whipped cream... It's aaaaaaawful.

The only dessert I like is yogurt on fresh berries. Everything else I can eat, but I'd rather not. I just don't like sweet taste at all; in fact sugary foods make me nauseated. Even worse if it's sweet and fat. Looking at you, whipped cream *puke* also honey is vile.

I'm one of those weirdos who don't like desserts altogether.

Two new animal species discovered in Australia. Just look at it...

So sorry to hear that RIP Jax...

He's fine. Busy with family and life.

Well done!

From what I've read, Turkey forces will be part of the peacekeeping center - in other words, a ceasefire monitoring base in Azerbaijan teritory (location not yet agreed upon), but not in Karabakh. I suspect that Russian forces will stay in the region indefinitely now. The peace agreement even contains a bullet point where it says that the duration of stay of the peacekeeping contingent will have automatic extension for the next 5-year period if none of the three Parties declares the intention to terminate the application of this provision at least 6 months in advance.

I thought you'd like the second one better

Didn't know you like SOAD too, otherwise would have tagged you too, haha... They came out of the hiatus in order to support Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, released two songs on bandcamp, all donations go to the Armenia Fund.
