Agree with both. Don't care for Schindler's List at all as it's overly emotionally manipulative (just like most Spielberg's stuff) with little depth. Don't care that much for the Pianist either but I think it conveys the story better. My personal favourite holocaust movie that resonated with me the most is La vita é bella; no other films come even close. Don't care for The Big Lebowski either and think it's massively overrated.

A new revolution at Ferrari - Arrivabene out, set to be replaced by Binotto!

Came across this earlier today... Some scans from a book making predictions about 21st century living, from 1979 - Usborne’s The World of the Future series: Future Cities. Pretty fascinating to see how they imagined future at the time!

Doesn't even compare!

Just waiting for @Batard to sort it out!

That sounds fun!

Happy belated birthday @Faithcore! On behalf of all of us, I apologise for missing this most important event of the year; it's truly unacceptable. Officially renaming the forum to Talk Faithcore 365 is the least we can do to make up for this inexcusable fiasco.

What is it exactly? Is it like an observatory with equipment on site available for general public to use? I've only been to one once (years ago) which boasts the biggest scientific telescope in Northern Europe and it was class! I remember seeing Saturn's rings and moons, Orion nebula and the Pleiades, and thinking how breathtaking it was. I have only used a pair of 10x50 binoculars + the Stellarium app since then but I think I'd love to upgrade. This looks good for the price: https://www.telescope.com/Orion-SkyScanner-100mm-TableTop-Reflector-Telescope/p/102007.uts?keyword=skyscanner 100 I already have a good camera tripod so could use it with the scope too...

Niki Lauda back to intensive care again after contracting flu

Haha I can do it from my front terrace as it only faces the mountain and a fair amount of night sky so no problem there I just don't want to buy something heavy and hard to transport as I tend to move around quite a bit...

I'd love to get myself a half decent telescope and do a bit of stargazing + astrophotography at the same time... Where I live there is barely any light pollution, so the night sky is majestic and the stars are easy to observe even with a naked eye as long as it's not too cloudy. I actually thought telescopes are way too expensive but it seems I was wrong; a decent one for beginners costs just about 100-150$... I really should take a look into it.

Food for thought haha.

Wouldn't mind finding that, haha...

^^Two billion years... Not really worried haha I'm particularly interested in the experiment to test how much the Moon’s extremely low gravity affects the growth of living organism that is about to be carried out. The Chang'e-4 lander is also carrying a biosphere housing potatoes, Arabidopsis plant seeds, and silkworm eggs. The container constitutes its own complete ecosystem, with the potato and Arabidopsis breathing out oxygen after taking in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the silkworms. Just imagine if they get through one reproductive cycle while on the Moon, it would be the first example of complex life known to be born on another world!

Ah ok I misread that; so they found the DNA of Woolly Mammoth in the trinkets already being sold in the country, not in that shipment from Africa
-
Yeah I was just wondering how are tusks of woolly mammoth found in a shipment from Africa!

Good new documentary by Deutsche Welle detailing the research going on in ISS, the obstacles and the future of humanity in space.

Saw that in the local news. Over three tons of ivory were seized in the port, in a storage container sent from Mozambique and shipped through Vietnam... Not the first time it's happened here either. So sad. I wonder how did they get their hands on mammoth tusks though??? I mean they normally come from Siberia...

We have just signed Romano Schmid from Salzburg for about 1 million; he's expected to go on loan at first though. Love it, seen a bit of him when he was making his breakthrough in Graz but then sadly joined Red Bull and picked up an injury after a while... For me one of the most talented youngsters in Austria, hope he makes it at Bremen.

Moin.

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.

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