  1. It isn't. If you want an example of a must win game we have Southampton at home next.
  2. That ends Llando's championship effort barring a couple of DNFs for Max. Fair play to Max he passed plenty of cars early on and they made the right call to stay out before the red flag.
  3. They'll all claim they only went because Norris did.
  4. I've watched a couple of those. Not all the way through as the maths can often go over my head a bit. His stuff on relativity is really interesting though.
  5. That's been us all season unfortunately. Defensively terrible, especially on set-pieces but at least we score goals which is giving us a slim chance of getting out of it. O'Neil is still trying to compromise between a back 3 and a back 4. We switched to the latter in the second half today after going behind, the same as he did at Brighton last week. No idea how to fix it is my guess. He's subtly trying to blame signings not having enough experience, but the fundamental organisation just isn't there. He'll definitely be sacked before the international break if we don't beat Southampton. They'd have to act then to give any new guy a chance to get us out of it. Makes no sense to try and get someone in before that as they'd have no time to prepare for that game. Potter might be interested if we're lucky but I can't see him wanting to work under our CEO and Sporting director who have control over all the financial and signings.
  6. I love this sort of stuff. I recommend checking out Neil DeGrasse Tyson and his Startalk podcast. Mainly his Cosmic Queries episodes, as he has science guests on and answers all sorts of these sorts of questions and theories from the public, but in a really easy and understandable way. The presenter is always a comedian that acts as the layman in the conversation which helps with understanding it too. NdGT is a really good science communicator. Definitely recommended. https://startalkmedia.com/show/cosmic-queries-bits-of-spacetime-with-janna-levin/
  7. Yeah it's tiny in comparison with some of the giants out there.
  8. Photons of light have zero mass and travel at the speed of light. That means according to Einstein that they also have zero time. Which means that they are essentially timeless, and travel across the universe instantaneously from the perspective of the photon itself. It's created, emitted, travels billion of light years across space and is absorbed by our eyes or telescopes, all in the same instant that it was born. How the hell does that work?!! Another frightening and mind blowing fact is just how fast light is. 186,000 miles per second. MILES! That means it can go round the surface of the Earth 7.5 times every second. A complete lap of our entire planet in 0.13 seconds. Yet the universe is so vast it still takes something that mind bogglingly fast billions and billions of years to travel the length of it. That's why fibre optic and sattelite communication is so fast. Communication with someone anywhere on the planet in only a few seconds or less. Another measure of it is one foot per nanosend which is a billionth of a second. So when you turn out your bedroom light which is 6 feet away from your head it takes 6 billions of a second for the darkness to hit your eyes.
  9. Another great stat is that the Sun is so big that it makes up 99.86% of the entire mass of the solar system. That includes all the planets, moons, asteroids, comets, gas, dust etc. Everything. And in that 0.14% that's left, Jupiter is over twice the mass of all the other planets combined as well. Another indication of our insignificance in not just the universe but just our own solar system.
  10. That's lovely.
  11. Hubble's Xtreme Deep Field image is still my favourite image of all time. Before JWST which has now replicated it but just staggering to think that that entire patch of sky in that image is only 1/10th of the width of the full moon, or the size of a grain of sand at arms length. Every dot of light is a different galaxy.
  12. I'm not helping you now you haven't tagged me in the genius comment above 🖕 Well that and the fact I've never owned a telescope so haven't got a scooby.
  13. Yeah it was a bit shark jumpy tbh.
  14. Does that mean the price of crisps is going to go up? 😲
  15. Lie angle won't affect distance much if at all. It affects how the club face is delivered compared to target. Mainly the starting direction left or right. Upright will start more left, flat will start more right.
  16. 160 yards straight sounds like they suited you fairly well. But, I'd suggest trying them on the course to see if you get the same results. If not take them back to the shop you got them from and ask if you can adjust them to better suit. Whether that be lie angle or whatever.
  17. Agatha was ultimately OK if a bit meh. I won't be itching for S2 or rewatching it any way. Loki S1 was similar though so who knows.
  18. She has a tendency to overact a bit in this role though. Certainly as her original police office part of the role. Her performance for that bit was way over the top.
  19. I hate the islands on carriageways/motorways that only have 2 lanes leading up to them off the slip road but then 3 or 4 lanes on the actual island to try and work out which one to be in for your exit. It's no wonder people end up in the wrong lanes on these.
  20. Yes they over-priced him. But plenty of players have had that happen and remeined professional about it. He refused to play for them in trying to engineer a move and force their hand. Essentially going on strike. That never ends well for any player and Napoli doubled down and refused to sell him.
  21. Yeah there's always something new to pick up on even for the more experienced viewers.
  22. 4 is me after a curry night and a few beers.
  23. Burned his bridges at Napoli with a shit attitude in the transfer window. Other clubs rightfully were wary of that given his huge price tag. Only himself to blame. There's a right way and wrong way of leaving a club.
