Would make sense, especially since Jung's contract is expiring next summer, too. Probably similar quality as Jung, but younger and faster, so no complaints there if he comes on a free transfer. Hopefully, Buchanan develops properly and becomes a regular LB though.

That's very unfair to the child.

Yeah, and that's very weird, because I would imagine that the question of "do we want kids and if yes, how many" should be one of the key things to discuss before getting married...

Oh I was not talking about your friend specifically as I don't know anything about him. Just a general observation, both from personal experience and from observing others.

I generally think that people who are not very family-oriented should not marry and have kids with people who are very family-oriented (and vice-versa), because in most cases, that's a straight-out recipe for disaster. Both sides expect the other one to change or adapt to match their expectations, and that's not really going to happen, is it.

Online dating is not something I would ever consider. Fair enough if it works for others, though.

Starting this tonight. I love reading about exploration and adventures that actually happened, and according to the reviews I've read, this one seems to have it all - wild orgies, bloody battles, mutinies, shipwrecks, torture, disease, treasure, as well as the historical details of the state of navigation, European politics, global trade, and early European encounters with other cultures

Star Wars Holiday Special - 11/10

Looks just like Tatooine...

Around 44%, actually Less atmosphere also means less scattering of light compared to Earth though, so it's another thing to factor in. It is also interesting how human vision works - the first few days on Mars, the daylight would likely appear somewhat dimmer to us, but after a while, our eyes and brains would adjust, and we wouldn't really notice much difference! Also, the "real sun" is still there and visible anyway... the luminosity might seem lower, the colours will be different, but it's very much there... Watch these videos made from images taken by several previous Mars rovers, or just any images/videos from Perseverance - there's plenty of sunlight there. Not being able to feel it on the skin is a different issue altogether, but I think you wouldn't notice lack of sunlight as much as you think you would...

Why do you think there isn't much light on Mars? The intensity of the sunlight is lower due to the greater distance from the sun, but that's really not much of an issue, especially since the atmosphere is very thin. The average lighting conditions near the equator on Mars on a clear day would be somewhat similar to northern Canada. So maybe not ideal, but definitely not unbearable. Artificial lighting will still be needed though, as the colonists will spend most of the time indoors, probably even in the excavated structures underground, so in that sense, lack of natural sunlight could be an issue. I think isolation, remoteness, cramped conditions, hostile environment, repetitiveness of daily tasks and high levels of stress would be by far larger issues regarding mental health of Mars colonists though. Will some people struggle and reach their breaking point? I'm absolutely sure they will. But in the end, humans can adapt to whatever conditions they need to. It's also safe to say that resilience and mental fortitude will be one of the key factors in selection process, especially for the first generation of settlers; you won't just send any random unprepared people there...

Violent Night (2022) Just a campy gory fun. The dialogue is super cheesy, the action is hilariously brutal, and there's a lot of silly humour. A perfect Christmas movie 7/10

Why are you impersonating John?

@Tommy it's not just us... Read the comments here:

I actually haven't watched Rick & Morty

I really should watch that new Good Night Oppy documentary...

Don't mean to make you sad, but they indeed lost contact with it today...

They actually kept the rocks in a bag under the mattress, and even that's disputable, as this story is quite a bit fictionalised. Regolith is extremely abrasive, during the Apollo missions, it ate through 3 layers of Kevlar... And it's also toxic. There's no way they spread them on the bed and had sex on them

Legend!

That's a proper crazy story. His girlfriend was also an intern at NASA, and they had two other accomplices. The most stupid thing was trying to sell the rocks online though, that's how they got caught Anyway, the worst part of it was the fact that 30 years' worth of research notes got destroyed in the process...
