@Tommy posted the video of it last night in the matchday thread!

So if the media reports are to be believed, it's going to be either Ole Werner or Gerhard Struber. Edit: some "insiders" claim that Struber is out, and it's going to be Ole Werner. Confirmation expected this week.

It's clearly a real-life Chewbacca. In all seriousness though, why is everyone so scared of him? Pet him and play with him, you bastards.

Haha, will give it a go... It's a Southern hemisphere object though, so will have to wait for the night time and hope the weather conditions are good enough

Yeah, must be. The original one that @Tommy posted is a legit Twitter account.

A new one after a while... Dolphin Nebula (Sh2-308) & Wolf-Rayet star EZ Canis Majoris. Taken with a 50cm F3.6 reflector telescope using narrowband filters (HOO), processed with DeepSkyStacker and PS. 2 hours total observation time.

That's not true though? He's the editor-in-chief of Global Times and tweets regularly...

The guy is her coach. It's most likely staged, and her media presence will be controlled for sure, but it also shows her alive and fine, so that's something. The videos from the tennis event:

Macau is fucking fantastic. But yeah, the situational awareness of some drivers leaves a lot to be desired

I hope everyone's ok, but damn this is funny

You're rebuilding civilisation with a goat?

Same. I'll take a dog instead of a goat though.

Wtf

@Tommy

In all seriousness, your mileage may vary - not sure if you've read the books? If not, then it probably won't bother you that much, as my main qualms were massive changes to the original AND overly emotional character (I won't do any spoilers now, but feel free to join my in the Foundation thread afterwards ... )

It's destined to be

There will be some quite annoying moments in the few next episodes, but soldier on through it... It got much, much better after episode 5, and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of Season 1. The Empire storyline is particularly good.

Yeah, I can't say I'm shedding any tears about him leaving, either But as always, I'm shit scared of the new replacement.

Yep, confirmed by the club now, too. His assistant manager as well

Apparently, he stepped down. I really have no words.

The lockdown, at least in Austria, is because they are running out of ICU beds. I'm wondering what's the long-term strategy, in general, too. The virus isn't likely to go away. There are no sterilising vaccines and efficacy of the current ones wanes sharply in months, requiring boosters and then likely boosters of boosters for a foreseeable future. The virus will also keep on mutating, and since it can still infect vaccinated people, there's the danger of vaccine-resisting and immune system evading strain emerging due to selective pressure. So what's the plan here? Vaccine mandates, "green passes" allowing only fully vaccinated individuals to take part in society, and winter lockdowns forever? How is it all going to be implemented? QR codes and ID checks for entering any public space and transportation? How many shots will a person need to be considered fully vaccinated, and when will that status expire, requiring another booster? Will it even be possible to maintain vaccination levels of 90%+ of the population constantly for years?

Citrus-garlic-turmeric shrimp.

Austria going into full lockdown for all on Monday, vaccine mandate from February 2022.
