Sauber-Audi rumours are getting louder and louder, and I have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it could be a great opportunity for Sauber to establish itself as a solid midfield team. On the other hand, I really don't like Audi.

Spoiler alert

Yeah, cringy acting was one of the reasons I couldn't get passed the original series Definitely hasn't aged well.

Apparently it's a prequel to the original series, and the Captain is supposed to be Christopher Pike, the predecessor of Captain Kirk. I'll probably try to watch it and quit after a few episodes, just like with every other Star Trek show I tried watching

No.

This is my second-favourite Twitter account

That's mental, is there anything he can't do? A proper racing driver. On a side note, Red Bull Ferrari just sounds wrong

Boo!

At the first glance, I thought that was a moose

From the cup, I'd say.

Yeah, that doesn't sound healthy, to put it mildly.

Always reminds me of Johnny Cash's "The Boy Named Sue"

Loved it. It was not only about the portrayal of Native Americans in movies, but also to draw attention to the Wounded Knee standoff, which was under media blackout so the general public wasn't too aware of what was going on there. It's interesting to see what attitudes were had by people in the movie industry back then. Marlon Brando was an activist in the American Indian Movement for years. Roger Moore, who was supposed to present the award, helped her get off the stage and make it to the press area safely to share Brando's 15 page manifest. Meanwhile, John Wayne had to be constrained by six security guards to keep him from assaulting her, and Clint Eastwood mocked her in his speech afterwards.

So cute!

They're still very slow, especially compared to aircraft. Most cruise ships have in-service speed of just over 20 knots, so about 40-45km/h. Ferries/Ro-Ro ships are somewhat faster, with average speeds of around 25 knots, maybe up to 30 or so. When I worked for a ferry company, we had a few high-speed Ro-Pax ferries in the fleet; those were operating at speeds of around 40 knots (roughly 75 km/h). There are a few newer ones now that can reach 50 knots and more. So at best, you'd be travelling at max 100km/h. Your average commercial flight goes around 800-900 km/h. So for a 3 hour flight, around 2500 km, you'd need at least 25 hours on a high-speed ferry, and that's if you are on the fastest ones. Around 35-40 hours, more realistically.

Went to a Turtle Conservation Center Today. Such fascinating animals... Met the marine biologists working there who explained their work procedures and gave a lot of general information on turtles. Also had a chance to help release the baby turtles into the wild!

Shhhhhh don't give them any ideas...

30 races a season? They're losing the plot...

I just move too often for you to keep up, no point in updates...

I like it so far! The country's currently in crisis; there's a massive shortage of fuel, gas and electricity, so there are scheduled power cuts daily and people stand in long queues to get gas canisters and diesel. Inflation is high and rising, so prices are obviously rising too. Protests are starting to take place, mostly in Colombo. Tough times for the locals, but personally, it hasn't affected me much. I'm always working remotely, yeah. Been moving countries for a year now, as I got stuck in Europe when covid crap started and couldn't go back, so decided to take advantage of a shitty situation and spend some time in new places I haven't visited before.

I just arrived in Sri Lanka a month ago Planning to stay here 4-5 months and then go back to Cambodia!

Looks good @Carnivore Chris, enjoy.

We're talking about scorpions here though. Different rules may apply to people (cough cough) who jinx Werder whenever they watch them play...
