Do not obey in advance. Lesson 1, first page, of my pamphlet "On Tyranny"
I last saw Maggie Smith in A German Life at the Bridge in 2019. She was absolutely magnificent!
@martyrmade Actually mate, my grandfather was the captain of the Garoufalia, torpedoed and sunk by U-38 in Norwegian territorial waters on 11/12/39 - proving the Germans were operating in Norway way before you are claiming they did.
85 years ago, Hitler and Stalin signed an agreement to launch a joint attack on Europe. A few days later, they began by attacking Poland - first Germany from the West, then Stalin from the East. Germans have fully acknowledged their responsibility for starting the war. The Russians have not.
In Russia, they often highlight the USSR's victory in 1945 but ignore how Hitler and Stalin jointly started the war in 1939. On this day in 1939, Nazi Germany and the USSR signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, secretly dividing Central and Eastern Europe between them.

It never ceases to amaze me that a spacecraft launched in 1977 can be fixed remotely from Earth.
#Voyager1's interstellar comeback is like music to our ears! For the first time since Nov. 2023 @NASA's most distant spacecraft is returning data from all four of its science instruments again — all from beyond the heliosphere out in interstellar space: go.nasa.gov/3VmvlyA
Not victim blaming but something good has to come out of all this sorrow. Every single Mediterranean person knows that in the summer, between 12pm and 3pm, no one goes out in the midday sun unless absolutely necessary. Holidaymakers should be made aware. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
We mourn the passing of astronaut Bill Anders, lunar module pilot for Apollo 8, and backup pilot for the Gemini XI and Apollo 11 flights. One of the first three people to travel beyond the reach of our Earth and orbit the Moon, Anders took the legendary Earthrise photo. More on his legacy: go.nasa.gov/4aO6VUo

“Experts say there is a thriving market for [19th century books] today in Russia, where they have tremendous cultural and patriotic value. French authorities have not ruled out a state-sanctioned drive to bring Russian treasures home to Russia.” nytimes.com/2024/05/01/boo…
Watch Juno zoom past Jupiter. NASA's robotic spacecraft Juno is continuing on its now month-long, highly-elongated orbits around our Solar System's largest planet. The featured video is from perijove 16, the sixteenth time that Juno passed near Jupiter since it arrived in mid-2016. Each perijove passes near a slightly different part of Jupiter's cloud tops. This color-enhanced video has been digitally composed from 21 JunoCam still images, resulting in a 125-fold time-lapse. The video begins with Jupiter rising as Juno approaches from the north. As Juno reaches its closest view -- from about 3,500 kilometers over Jupiter's cloud tops -- the spacecraft captures the great planet in tremendous detail. Juno passes light zones and dark belts of clouds that circle the planet, as well as numerous swirling circular storms, many of which are larger than hurricanes on Earth. As Juno moves away, the remarkable dolphin-shaped cloud is visible. After the perijove, Jupiter recedes into the distance, now displaying the unusual clouds that appear over Jupiter's south. To get desired science data, Juno swoops so close to Jupiter that its instruments are exposed to very high levels of radiation.

“There is no such thing as philosophy-free science; there is only science whose philosophical baggage is taken on board without examination.” ~Daniel C. Dennett
"In the family tree of professions, submarine cable work occupies a lonely branch somewhere between heavy construction and neurosurgery. [...] a function vital to a world that, if they do their jobs well, will continue to be unaware of their service." theverge.com/c/24070570/int…
Spoiler: Nothing's left. This is the horror and devastation that Russia's army brings wherever it goes. Add Robotyne to the growing list of Ukrainian cities, towns and villages that have been wiped from the map by Russian bombs.

Both ship management company Synergy Marine Group and ship owning company Grace Ocean Private Ltd. are based in Singapore. Perhaps Mr Szypula is confused. And one would expect the P&I club to pay.

I am sad to learn that the great Frans de Waal has died. He was a compassionate primatologist, a truly wonderful writer, and a thoroughly decent fellow. I bare my teeth and hoot in his honour.
