    The BBC doc on the Columbia disaster is well worth watching if people are into that kind of thing btw. It seems NASA just repeated the same mistakes as with the Challenger disaster. Far too process driven without seeing the bigger picture and a culture of burying awkward truths. A lot of guilt from engineers who know they didn't speak loud enough. I'm not sure if anything could have been done to save the shuttle though, in fact part of me wonders if the ignorance of the crew were a blessing. Maybe this will be explored further in the third and last part of the series next Monday. 

     

    Edit: All episodes are on player. Shuttle that fell to Earth. 

     

    Watched all of this yesterday (this is the kind of fun thing I get up to while the fella's away for the weekend). Fascinating and terrifying in equal measure.

  2. 90+9 minutes, Forest on the attack, game inexplicably stopped for a Liverpool free kick, Liverpool go up the other end and score. Of course. :lol:

     

    I might have doubted it before but now it's clear The Narrative requires Klopp to win the title on his way out. So that'll be a fun few months for everyone else.

    Pretty sad reading.

     

    You get this a lot in "gender critical" circles too. People whose friends and family have, with regret, chosen to cut off contact with them because their batshit obsession with trans people ended up dominating their relationship to the exclusion of all else, and yet they still can't see that they might be the problem. Brainwashed.

     

    This was quite funny though tbf

    Have you seen the state of Paris?

     

    To fast-forward things a little, it's also better than that slum

    Him and his mate, both obsessed with Chess, were sat in the lobby of a hotel, trying to outdo each other last Christmas 
     

    The manager threw them out saying,

    ” Sorry, no chess nuts boasting in an open foyer”.

    Not compulsory but the extra time/cost/public transport hell of getting to Washington will likely make it unviable for a lot of people.

    The High street is slowly dying like.

     

    M&S are closing in central Peterborough and pointing people at the branch they've got on a retail park on the ring road instead. Same issue - fine if you're mobile, but not much use if you're not, and meanwhile the high street withers. I don't know what you do about that in the face of internet shopping and a general economic downturn though.
