So there's a very intriguing mystery with the Voyager 1 happening now. Basically, the probe is still operating normally (receiving and executing commands from Earth, gathering and returning science data), but the telemetry/location data it's sending to Earth appears to be completely random and don't reflect the probe's actual position https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/engineers-investigating-nasas-voyager-1-telemetry-data

I wanted him for Werder him and Paqarada...

Haha, I was completely NBA-obsessed as a kid Literally knew every player in every team for about a decade, starting with the Bull supremacy in early 90s to the Lakers time in early 2000s... Had a massive collection of trading cards, posters on the wall, all that jazz. Even carried a "lucky" MJ picture on me whenever I played in competitive matches, too Used to get up in the middle of the night to watch the finals and then go to school afterwards. Good times

I was never into NCAA, so don't have any clue about college basketball but Vince Carter was probably the last NBA player I actually liked watching. Stopped playing myself in early 2000s and then gradually lost interest in basketball altogether... Focused on Euroleague in the years that followed as my hometown team played there.

The next player we've been linked with for quite a while now is Pascal Groß, and there are new rumours coming out now that we ensured the promotion. Now that would be a massive coup

@Bluewolf, think they found the secret entrance to your villain's lair on Mars

Well what a surprise...

That was literally my first thought after reading John's post

Nice, looks like a very solid transfer. Also gets bonus points for being called Amos!

Many dresses, if the rest 8 of them were girls...

I really, really don't understand how someone can beat a person into a coma and not spend a single day in prison. I just read the article, and the main attacker is apparently an experience martial artist, which makes it even worse. To add to that, they even attacked his family, including women. Absolute scum.

I remember him well. Not as much from the national team, but mostly from the Euroleague; seems to have been a part of it forever. Didn't know he had cancer, either... RIP

Awful nothing makes sense, and it looks like they crammed everything they could think of in a single movie but I must admit I was amused, so I don't regret watching it

Moonfall (2022) Wtf did I just watch? I don't do weed, but I really really wanted to get high watching this movie. Completely mental

Don't worry, we'll probably be back again soon

Before the match: Fans gathered at the Marktplatz and marched together to the stadium. Around 12.000 fans in total

Happy birthday to the intruder! That octopus

What's that?

Bathurst 12 Hour this weekend, can't wait!

Brilliant. She'll always remember it...

Nemesis Games, the 5th book in The Expanse series. Struggled a bit to get through the previous one (Cibola Burn), so hopefully this one will be an improvement.

It's by far more complicated than that. Basically a complete economic mismanagement by a corrupt ruling dynasty. Ongoing trade deficit, irresponsible fiscal policies including crazy tax cuts and heavy money printing, massive external debts, shifting to 100% organic farming, and just straight out corruption and crony capitalism. Of course COVID and now Russia-Ukraine war made things worse, but that's not the primary cause of the shit show that is happening here now.

Meanwhile, the son of a notorious former dictator is about to become the new president of the Philippines after a questionable election with broken voting machines and alleged vote buying. For those unaware, his father holds this fantastic record:

Things have taken a sudden violent turn in Sri Lanka today, with the situation getting out of the hand and escalating quickly after pro-government bands attacked the protesters this morning. Nationwide curfew has been imposed again (which is being largely ignored by the general public). Peaceful protests and demonstrations are now turning into riots, and houses/businesses of several current and former members of the parliament are being set on fire by the angry mob. One of the MPs opened fire at people blocking his vehicle killing two of them, and then apparently committed suicide afterwards. The PM has resigned.

Oooooh yes, definitely has Heavy Metal vibes...
