I have it on my watchlist! Will give it a go when I have some more free time

Watched it a few days ago, too. Completely unrealistic, laughably so at times, but for a sucker for adventure/treasure hunt movies that I am, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable, fun movie... Would give it 6.5/10 or so.

Yeah, very likely Or introduce some new mutant species that unexpectedly wrecks entire ecosystems. Although it's also interesting as one of the main arguments for de-extinction of wooly mammoths is the benefits it could allegedly bring for restoring arctic tundra and thus helping battle climate change.

Yep! There are quite a few de-extinction projects in the works (or rather in consideration) currently (wooly mammoths being the most talked-about one so far), and it's a controversial topic, but I'm very, very interested in it. I've read about those unconfirmed sightings too, but it's probably unlikely...

There's actually an undergoing project to bring the species back to life. They fully decoded the Tasmanian Tiger genome in 2017, and the Thylacine Integrated Genomic Restoration Research lab has just received millions in funding to work on it.

The point is, it's just a fake fact because it won't kill the dog, and it's also a dangerous advice because when you're reaching for the dog's front legs while he's in an attack mode, you're opening your vital areas (face, neck, head) for bites... If it's a life or death situation, use some kind of a weapon (stick, bat, knife, whatever), go for the dog's eyes, punch or kick behind the ribs, etc. If you're trying to protect someone who's being attacked, by far the best way to disable the dog is to get to him from behind, grab his collar, pull it up and twist. Once the dog is standing on his rear legs and his blood supply gets cut by his own weight as you continue to pull him up while twisting the collar, he'll stop attacking and will go limp in 10-15 seconds. If the dog is too large and heavy, elbow choke from behind instead. All of it is much more likely to work than the pulling front legs apart nonsense.

This is a complete and utter nonsense. Pulling a dog's front legs apart will not collapse their lungs or rip their heart or damage any other internal organs, killing the dog. If it's a smaller size dog, and if you have the strength, you might pull its legs out of the sockets and cause extreme pain and probably permanent injury. Most likely though, you won't have the strength, and it'll just make the dog more aggressive and violent. I would also like to see you try to do that to a big heavy dog lol. Seriously, what a shitty misconception.

Same At first I thought there's been a typo and they meant "gehostet", but then it didn't make any sense at all either

A truly brilliant read; that's the content I still subscribe to 11Freunde for... I didn't know anything about the documentary project, but I am also not surprised with the outcome. Yet another reminder of what to expect when a club prostitutes itself to the highest bidder with no regard to the long-term consequences.

Currently finishing The Expanse Book 4 (Cibola Burn): My least favourite book in the series so far, although still very enjoyable. On the non-fiction front, I'm about to dive into this:

It makes even more sense to know how to train and socialise your dog and how not to leave young children unattended...

We're like a bloody virus.

I misread it as "Well, that pig is played by Nicolas Cage" and was really, really confused

Yeah it's mostly for "cosmetic" reasons to make them look meaner and more intimidating. I've heard reasoning that cropping ears helps avoid ear infections and docking tails similarly helps avoid painful tail injuries, but that just sounds nonsensical to me. Think it's thankfully banned mostly everywhere in the EU.

Cane Corso beautiful dogs. I just wish they wouldn't cut their ears

Abu Dhabi 2021.

It's visible shortly before sunrise only

Yeah, I know, I was considering a Werder kit first, but then settled for the second best option

Too bad it's fake

Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter are lining up in a rare celestial event at the moment - quite a spectacular view! Will peak tomorrow, and then in the next few days the Moon will join them, too (should be visible around April 23-29). Hope for clear skies...

Just one?...

I missed the race as this circuit gives me headaches Good result for Flörsch and Viscaal, and I'm also glad Habsburg/Deletraz/Colombo got the win. Yifei Ye/Cool Racing Car 37 finished P5. Michael Fassbender also scored the podium (P3) with his Proton team in GTE class

Pretty much ran out of groceries today as it was a 5 day holiday, so just tossed some cabbage, bell pepper, onion in the wok along with some chili sauce, salt, pepper, turmeric and paprika powder, and then wrapped everything in a naan. BAM - an instant hit was born Seriously good for a quick evening meal.

Yes! Still as good as ever...

And the Irish reciprocated recently by helping raise 2m $ for clean water, food and health supplies during the pandemic to people in the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Reservation, with hundreds of thousands of dollars coming from Irish donors. Love stories like that...
