Hannover apparently do not intend to sell him, so that's probably the end of it, anyway...

Haha no chance, I'm moving places every few months these days

Both are my two favourite teams in Austria...

No news so far...

Augustinsson is reportedly a transfer target for Sevilla. 5m transfer fee.

@Devil-Dick Willie apparently the latest offer is 1.8m transfer fee + additional clauses/bonuses bringing it to a total of 2.5m. Also, we're being linked with Ducksch.

You can forget herd immunity altogether, in Germany or worldwide. With the latest developments and new research in recent weeks, it's pretty obvious that herd immunity is an unreachable and unrealistic pipe dream.

Still not as crazy as the one in India where a hospital charged people for the vaccine and injected them with saline water instead

Reinfection or reactivation?

This is the continuation of the story from April (I think), when a nurse admitted to have swapped six jabs with saline water, as she said she accidentally dropped the vaccine vial and didn't want anyone to find out. Now the police are saying that they are not sure if that's the case - it is possible that those 6 cases were the only ones, but they also do not dismiss the possibility of more jabs being manipulated by her, so around 8500 people who received their vaccinations during that period of time have been offered a new jab as a precaution.

Ebola and Marburg viruses, while obviously devastating and unfortunate for those affected in local outbreaks, are not really a huge worry for large-scale global outbreaks, simply because they are too deadly to spread effectively, and also require direct contact with bodily fluids of the infected instead of spreading through air.

No, apparently still in talks

Sellouts!

Probably just tiny fragments of junk that are too small to be recognised. As pieces of junk in orbit collide at high speed, that creates even more tiny debris.

This is a great visualisation of what's there - just mindblowing: http://astria.tacc.utexas.edu/AstriaGraph/ And yeah, people in the industry keep on thinking about possible solutions to dealing with space junk, but kinda miss the main one - stop fucking generating it in the first place...

Official now.

Several thousands of satellites, and more than half of those are defunct space junk. So yeah, it's true - as if there's not enough trash on the planet, we also have to put rubbish around it, too. With satellites getting cheaper as well, I assume it'll only get worse - the rough estimates say about a thousand new ones are expected to be launched into orbit every year in the near future, and that's not including Starlink that hopes to have over 40 THOUSAND satellite constellation once it's finalised! Add Amazon's Project Kuiper and Airbus's OneWeb on top of that. It's ridiculous really; of course communication, navigation and scientific sats are an important part of infrastructure, but you surely have to draw a line somewhere? It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Not a concern at this point, as it's just a tiny cubesat with an LCD screen and a selfie stick which will be used to film the screen and livestream it on the web, but the intent is definitely there and it is just so fucking stupid. I hope that before it becomes viable, orbital ads will be made illegal, putting an early end to such nonsense. On top of that, we need more regulation on satellite launches, in general.

What... How dare you! I'm basically a Disney princess!

I'm a few episodes into Season 2 now, and I must admit that while I like the idea of the plot, this whole hallucinations/psychosis/mental disorder stuff is not for me, really. I'll probably continue watching as I'm curious what the outcome will be, but overall, it's starting to get on my nerves

I love this kind of movies!!! Give me adventure, exploring, treasure hunting and mysterious curses anytime...

A mystery... So the drilling was succesful, the drilling hole is there, but the sample is not in the container tube

Tides (2021) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6506264 An indie sci-fi/post-apocalyptic movie. Glad I watched it. Unreasonably poor reviews, but the movie was very enjoyable and I also liked the message. Great casting and acting, great cinematography, and the story, while predictable at times, was still solid. German/Swiss production. 7/10

He made it there in time!

I hope that selling them + Jojo & Osako means we can reinvest at least 6-8 million into the squad, but I honestly doubt it. Our financial situation is precarious.
