Now that would be a VERY expensive beer

Yes, but what am I supposed to do drink until then?...

That Suzuki is such a beauty.

It's not Send KöPi.

Meh, it's not as shocking as 5€ beer

Cheers, that sounds pretty good, I pay around the same for imported beer here (much less for local one though). I'm considering a short trip back to Europe sometime within the next 2 years, so just trying to get an idea of how much it will cost me.

Ah that's not too bad, I was afraid it's something along the lines of 5-6 Euro haha.

Out of interest, how much does a beer cost (on average) these days? In a pub, I mean.

Ouch, that's a bit harsh!

Did you go there for that Praktikum Lars mentioned before?

That's Sri Lanka, isn't it? And no wonder, being tourist props is definitely more lucrative than fishing on a pole haha. It's similar to the Intha fishermen in Burma who have a weird technique of using huge cone-shaped nets while standing on the stem of the boat and paddling with one leg. They turn to being tourist attraction as well, simply because fish supply and sales are falling due to commercial trawling.

Will do! I'm still going through Feynman's Lectures on Physics and Christoph Schiller's Motion Mountain to refresh my knowledge on fundamentals of physics, so I will move on to something more complex, preferably engineering after that

Glad you liked it; I love his style of writing, in particular that subtle, not-over-the-top humour! Currently reading Cambodia: Report from a Stricken Land by Henry Kamm, a concise history and in-depth analysis of 30 years civil war and genocide, events that led to it and the consequences as well as future outlook. Bought it from one of the book sellers in Phnom Penh while drinking beer on the riverside, a good deal for just a couple of $ and a good read so far.

Horrible news, doctors have confirmed that Nouri has suffered severe permanent brain damage with no chance of recovery. So sad, condolences to him and his family, it's so fucking unfair.

What is channa? Chickpeas? It looks good, I'm hungry, I'd eat it

you're evil

It really depends on what is the actual problem behind it, as heart arrhytmias is a bit of a vague term. Doctors usually advise against returning to professional sport in most cases, but there are a few pro athletes with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. If it's hypertrophic cardiomyopathy though (which is the leading cause of cardiac arrests in young athletes), I doubt he'd be able to continue though.

I read yesterday that there's no long-term damage for his heart, so that's good news already. His preliminary brain scan doesn't show any signs of damage either, but of course they can only confirm it once he's fully awake... It looks like this could end much much better than similar cases in the past, fingers crossed!

A real eye candy: AWAKEN is a feature documentary that explores "humanity's relationship with technology and the natural world." "Shot over a 5-year period in more than 30 countries, the film pioneers new time-lapse, time-dilation, underwater, and aerial cinematography techniques to give audiences new eyes with which to see our world. AWAKEN is a celebration of the spirit of life, an exploration of the Earth, and an ode to the Cosmos."

The new "Choose life' monologue was probably even better than the original one!

Haha, there's actually a scientific basis for man flu, I'm only teasing you

Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic, and it's fucking awesome! It's the only theatrical release in movie history that still continues to be played in cinemas today. I know there's a remake, but there's no way I'm watching it.

Get well soon!
