Very unsurprising to me. I think it is highly probable that microbial life has existed on Mars at some point in time.

I've seen parts of Wednesday, and it is very good. The thing I have a real issue with is the casting and characterization of Gomez Addams. Luis Guzman is nowhere near what John Astin and Raul Julia did with the role. Agreed, but I don’t think it has a major impact on the show as his role is a minor...

Okay, I actually had time to binge through the rest today. Very good season, if you liked the first season definitely watch this too. Best new addition is Evie Templeton as Agnes. Superb character and portrayal by Evie (who was only 15 when they shot this!). There’s a definite highlight in the form ...

It is a natural development, but may come with some consequences perhaps not given enough consideration. In Sweden the drying out of wetlands (in combination with better living conditions and access to medical treatment) led to the local eradication of malaria in the 1930’s. Once again expanding th...

I’ve started watching season 2. Haven’t gotten that far into it yet but it’s looking like a good match for season 1 this far.

I appreciate Mazda’s continued unorthodox approach to engines.

I did see a serious attempt at explaining it by conjecturing that the corporations run their own schools to train the only people moronic/desperate enough to sign up for these mad missions, and this is the result that you get. I also saw someone suggest that their biohazard safety manual is a yellow...

Episode 5 is kind of interesting in that it’s like Alien but if the Nostromo crew lost a bunch of IQ points.

The bell tower is trying to catch up now.

Very cool! A good way to get motivated for the future career. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s a certain eccentric assyrologist at the British Museum who’ve explained how he found a viking sword on his first dig as a student and was so angry that it didn’t have writing on it that he almost ...

When was this church built out of interest?

It was consecrated in 1912 so it’s not very old. But pretty as you say. The inside is pretty neat as well.

After two stints over as many days the church has completed the five kilometer trip. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gyy9TGYWcAAflPY?format=jpg&name=large It will still need to be installed on its new foundations and the bell tower will follow in a bit over a week but it seems to have gone well. I w...

I believe I’ve mentioned it earlier at some point but the town of Kiruna in Sweden is in the process of relocating a bit away from its original site due to that location coming into conflict with continued mine expansion. Some of the more important structures are being moved physically (other torn d...

Welcome to the gang!

This is a second video that appears to show the actual ejection:
