  1. To be honest, I'm quite surprised it's still a thing. Have there been any calls from the locals/local government for it to be banned?
  2. Hopefully. I'm surprised Füllkrug managed to stay fit throughout the season, hope it stays that way
  3. Ömer Toprak will leave the club in the summer. The right decision, in my opinion. He's good when he's fit, but unfortunately, that's not usually the case We offered him a performance-based contract, but couldn't agree terms in the end.
  4. This might sound and look like a cool idea, but it's silly for several reasons 1. Why in the world do you need to use plastic packaging for bananas that are packaged by nature already? Just unnecessary waste. 2. Bananas release ethylene gas which helps them ripen, and storing a bunch of them together will make all of them ripen much, much faster, so the advertised difference in levels of ripeness will not hold. 3. Add 1 and 2 together - if you store bananas in a closed bag/package, ethylene gas will not escape and it will speed up the ripening process even further. 4. Why do they call it "one-a-day" and only have 6 bananas??? No bananas on Sunday?

    Cuttlefish pretending to be a coral. Pretty neat... 1653941603850.mp4
  6. @Bluewolf the first piece
  7. Marcus Ericsson just won Indy 500! And he wore a special Ronnie Peterson helmet for this race...
  8. I'm looking forward to it. Thought Fallen Order was a very enjoyable game, so hope to see more of the same in this one!
  9. Whoa, this must be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in a race. A car catches fire, the driver manages to stop and get out, the marshalls then try to extinguish the flames, but the car rolls back on track on it's own, without the driver, and then crashes into the barriers and burns down
  10. A sequel to the Fallen Order has been announced!
  11. Well, fuck. That's it for Grello a bit silly to fight so hard for position and bang wheels with over 20 hours on the clock...
  12. Kevin Estre in Grello started from P35, gained eleven positions in the first few laps, then had a contact with another Porsche which damaged his bodywork, got back to the garage for the repairs, and now after 1.5 hour he is leading the race
  13. I switched to a British stream last year as the American one was unsufferable. Nürburgring 24H race starts at the same time as F1 quali Idiotic scheduling.

    Kids these days... When I had group projects at uni, we just used to get drunk together and then do some work on the last night before the deadline

    Happy birthday, @CaaC (John)!!!
  16. Bored of what, staying awake? I mean there's plenty of things to do, and simple resting or meditation or whatever are still viable options for winding down and recharging whenever it all gets a bit overwhelming! It would be great, as long as it doesn't automatically mean longer working hours And yes, we spend about one third of our lives sleeping. That's a bit shit.
  17. I mean, I would welcome that if there were no side effects. Imagine all you could do with all that time!
  18. I'm very skeptical that it's an accurate account of what happened to him. It goes against everything we know about the effects of sleep loss/deprivation, and I'm extremely doubtful that a brain injury (especially the frontal lobe, which is not related to sleeping at all) would change that so significantly, either. I could believe the part about him not being able to sleep; there are some diseases that cause it too, but I don't believe he would have been able to live for another 40 years. Maybe he slept 2 hours a day? Maybe he experienced multiple microsleep episodes each day? As @Bluewolf said, it probably got exaggerated over time until it became an urban legend of sorts. If the story is true after all, then he indeed was a medical oddity. It's a pity that more data is not available; neuroscientists would have a field day...
