China built a tower that acts like 'the world's biggest air purifier,' and it actually works - Improvements in air quality had been observed over an area of 10 square kilometers in the city and the tower has produced more than 10 million cubic meters of clean air a day since its launch. https://www.businessinsider.com/china-builds-worlds-biggest-air-purifier-2018-12/?r=AU&IR=T

Also look - a fish that can walk!

A picture taken an hour later:

Nah but this one is kind of cute... And this one is weird....

The best part is the actual International Space Station there in the left corner; it's just a pixel in comparison Get your grandson one of those Star Wars cross-section books some time, I'm sure he'd to love it!

Someoene put a lot of work into this A Starship size comparison chart. Open the image in new tab to and zoom in!

It was a tough choice I must say!

Just got this today...

One down, four more to go... The Triton has just dived to 8,376 meters in the Puerto Rico Trench, the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, making it the deepest diving manned submersible in the world today!

Just shows how little we know about the universe despite all the progress we've made in the last few decades... Still waiting for the hypothetical Planet Nine to be found in the outer solar system beyond Neptune. Based on evidence and modeling work, it's expected to be 10 times more massive than Earth and to take tens thousands of Earth years to orbit the sun.

That's quite an understatement

Good to see the Robot's still as sexy as he was in the original!

Hehe I don't need subtitles for Russian so that's an advantage I guess. Was just curious how well done it is in terms of the story and CGI; the trailer looks beautiful so I think I'll give it a go!

That's some bad withdrawal you're going through

How was it?

FIA/ACO have approved the new "hypercar prototypes" regulations for the FIA World Endurance Championship starting 2020 when the new category will replace LMP1 as the top class. The new prototypes will be styled to look like road-going hypercars with hybrid-powered combustion engines, aesthetics will not be dictated by aerodynamics (which will be strictly regulated; movable aero permitted!), but by each marque’s distinctive design features. Sounds like we might see prototypes based on the likes of Aston Valkyrie, McLaren Senna, LaFerrari FXXK, Mercedes-AMG Project One racing against each other in a GT1-style series!!! Fingers crossed it works out and looking forward for official confirmations of the manufacturers joining...

Johnny English Strikes Again So silly and goofy it's actually good Thoroughly enjoyed it as lighthearted entertainment before bed.

A long but fascinating read about one of the most technically complicated space missions in human history; Salyut-7 rescue mission in 1985. Highly recommended! https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/09/the-little-known-soviet-mission-to-rescue-a-dead-space-station/ And they recently made a movie about it too...

Yeah I've been too busy lately to keep on playing it as well; will return to my save at some point though.

Vietnam went completely crazy after their national team won the Suzuki Cup yesterday

Just watched the highlights and wtf, they actually added another silly gimmick this season? As if the stupid Fan boost was not enough mockery of racing, now they also have a Mario Kart style boost as well?.. They finally have a battery that holds for the entire race and the drivers don't have to change the car in the middle of it, so just let them race properly instead of adding more dumb gimmicks ffs.

Decent racing to be honest, but can't stand the sound and it seriously ruins it for me. Will start watching it properly next season when Porsche joins though. Neel Jani has already been named as the first driver for the team.

Young, still able to do what he loves and can focus on that, mentally strong and has a strong support system. Everything contributes. I'm sure he has his lows every once in a while, but to be fair some people have remarkable resilience and can bounce back from pretty much anything.
