So this is barely cooking, but I made nacho skillet tonight. Extremely filling, but also very good! This was the first time I made it, but will definitely do it again.

And he tore ACL in his left knee again on his debut So unlucky, and such a big blow to his career.

Finally moved into a new and hopefully long-term apartment today don't know what to do with all that space available suddenly compared to a hotel room

If there's a Western setting, then it's a Western, as much as I'm concerned! I'm really impressed with the old lady for recommending it to you though
-
Ouch. Back pocket?
-
Talking about contemporary Wild West books, I found this one pretty fascinating: It's like a gritty spaghetti Western, but in a novel form

Oh for sure, that's the kind of criticism I could understand and agree with Either way, people loved Karl May's books not because he was some kind of literary genius, but because it was cool, fun, adventurous, and also morally right. This is what annoys me the most about the recent criticism; reading the things they complain about and accuse him of, it's pretty clear that they have never read a single book of his Because it really baffles me how can you otherwise accuse a writer of racism and colonialism, when literally the very first chapter of Winnetou is a monologue about the horrible and unjust genocide committed against the Native Americans by the seemingly superior White Man; the theme which is present in all of his Wild West works, not to mention the general themes of equality of all races, mixed marriages, pacifism and choosing non-violence, anti-colonialism and sympathising with the plight of Native Americans (and Mexicans), friendship and forgiveness. If anything, Karl May was way ahead of his time, especially compared to the general attitudes and fictional works about the Native Americans in the US at that time and decades after it...

What do you mean, "one book"? I would have cleaned the whole stand! Nah, Wild West books are good stuff. Even the pulpy stuff; all those old magazines full of cliches, one dimensional characters and repeating storylines Just pure fun.

Looks unreal!

Expected a higher transfer fee. And also a better club. But his contract expires next year, so yeah... I like Kalajdzic and hope he does well, but I think he'll struggle in the Premier League.

Official now: it's been scrubbed for today Next attempt on Friday, if they resolve the issue with the Engine 3 bleed. Launch window is supposed to open again on September 2, Friday, 16:48 GMT.

Unclear as of now. Still working on that engine issue, the countdown has been on hold for about 30 minutes now. If they don't find a workaround soon, the launch will be scrubed. If they find a workaround, the launch window opens in about 15 minutes and will be open for 2 hours - weather permitting. So it could still launch today, but it's not looking very good...
-
Good news: the crack apears to be just a crack in the thermal protection system foam (insulation), and not in the actual structure, so it shouldn't be an issue for launch. Not-so-good news: the countdown is now on hold for over 10 minutes at T-40 minutes, as the LH team discuss the Engine 3 issue with the launch director.

More money to waste on non-reusable launch system and poor political decisions? No thanks I'd rather get into a joint venture with Musk.

You don't have to worry John, there's nobody else but the two of us in this thread anyway Yeah, it's better that such issues happen during uncrewed test launch than later on when it truly matters and lives are at stake, but it's just really hard to stay positive when the SLS has been in development since 2011, was planned to be fully operational before 2017, so it's now years behind schedule and massively over-budget (which doesn't bother me because it's not my money, but still), and they still are struggling.
-
Yes I know John, I literally just posted that... Just hearing that the troubleshooting for Engine 3 doesn't seem to work It's going from exciting to frustrating really fast.
-
Working on a potential crack in the intertank and an issue with one of the engines I'll be very surprised if it flies today.

They re-chilled the lines and the fueling is continuing, currently the team has been given the go ahead for fueling the upper stage. So hopefully the hydrogen leak was not serious or just false alarm
