This was intense It's mad how they go in there without any protection; no gloves, no long sleeves or long trousers, etc... Thanks for sharing, will watch more for sure. In my last permanent place of residence, we used to get quite a few snakes come near or even into the house. A few venomous ones in the area as well, so it's good to stay informed and ready, just in case... Had to get four snakes out of the bedroom and balcony using the kitchen tongs once One grownup and three juveniles; probably had a nest somewhere nearby.

Nope, had to google that, didn't know a show like that existed!

Where does your snake phobia come from?

Going to hike the Valley of the Dead next week. Wish me luck!

Snakes are beautiful and fascinating animals.

Niklas Schmidt wants to stay: https://www.kicker.de/schmidts-bekenntnis-sehr-gerne-fuer-einen-so-grossen-verein-weiterspielen-871714/artikel Give him a new contract, ffs! Love watching him play.

At the moment there are simply no cheap and widely available solutions to significantly reduce the emissions of the shipping industry. In the future? Absolutely. The research into clean(er) fuels is still very young, and while there are some applications already, it will take a while to find the best alternative that is clean, has high energy density, and is affordable enough. Hydrogen, ammonia, methanol are probably the only realistic option at this point, but each of them also has specific disadvantages. The biggest issue imo is that the whole infrastructure will need to be changed, from how the ships and engines are built, to the fueling infrastructure in all the ports worldwide. This will certainly take time... Safe nuclear propulsion would be a dream, and new developments in nuclear technology should enable it, if the public accepts it. Molten salt reactors sound like a great prospect - non-weapon grade, low risk of explosions, operates at atmospheric pressure, no leaks of radioactive steam and cooling water, reduced size, generates much less and shorter-lived radioactive waste, higher efficiency, cheaper than conventional reactors, plentiful in nature, potential to consume nuclear waste.

While I definitely agree that there's a lot of potentially dangerous implications in the use of AI, and things like facial recognition, biometrical idenitifcation, general surveillance, categorising people based on their behaviour, (social scoring systems) pose a huge threat to socal freedoms, this moratorium sounds just as vague and pointless as the UN.

Nope, works fine for me.

Also, let's not divert from the fact of how great Eastern Germany is. Brilliant report, @Tommy.

Less than an hour on a speedster to Mos Eisley.

Scenes!

It was a thing in the 90s, but then faded out and now there's only sporadic contact between various fan groups. It started properly in 1994 when both clubs met in DFB Pokal final and the fans of both sides had a massive party in Berlin

Found an incredible documentary on how the mega diesel engines for ships are being built. German: English: The scale of it... Absolutely incredible. Not surprising for a 13600 HP monster, but still, it's amazing how much work and precision goes into it.

Explains all the craters...

Hopefully as long as possible!

I saw Asterix there

Ohhhh I completely forgot about Doom! I loved it too!

Yep, the first one! And I agree, it wasn't like anything else I've ever played before. The atmosphere, in particular, was something else. So scary. Also, fucking ghouls, still hate them

Diablo was one of the first games I played on PC, along with Quake! Not exactly my type of games really, but I loved it back then

I would love it, and tried looking for opportunities to go to Europe from Asia and return by sea instead of flying, but there were unfortunately way too few options available; not very affordable either. The best bet is finding a cargo ship that accepts limited number of passengers, but even that's quite challenging, and covid obviously made it even more complicated- Most people don't want slow travel anymore, sadly.

Booked an Airbnb?

Wait, what? You never had a beer in the shower? you've been missing out! with a good technique, it's easy to avoid water accidentally diluting the good stuff, you'll improve with enough practice literally one of the best things you can do in a shower. Alternatively, having a beer while taking a bath is also a good entry point for beginners. Warning though: it's easy to get too relaxed and fall asleep after a few

I don't know, that actually sounds like a great upgrade to just having a beer in the shower
