I watched New Mutants last night. Sigh. It was a solid entry into the X-Men franchise, which is not a complement. The actors were fine, they just...

The TV series "Manifest" seems to be going the way of "Lost", if they're all not dead they should be.

Yeah. Again, the GAN struggles with the backgrounds, which often don't make sense unless they're very out of focus. Collars and shoulders seem odd,...

I enjoyed Lost, even the ending. I thought it was a reasonably well-done supernatural mystery. (Is that an oxymoron?)

"U.S. intelligence report predicts heightened space competition between U.S. and China" But it also says "China will have more foreign partners...

Interesting. I actually requested the button several years ago and a mod or admin added it for me. Odd that it's gone invisible. The other two...

"Biden proposes 6.3% boost for NASA in budget proposal" ...

That's just lovely. I am open to any suggestions for how to shave a couple of mm off the end of a 2x4.

I vote for the latter. Some of them in positions of power.

"NASA's Mars Helicopter Ingenuity's historic flight delayed" https://www.foxnews.com/science/nasas-mars-helicopter-ingenuity-historic-flight

Ah ha...well, I just had a RTFM moment. One of the "hidden" icons I mentioned above is actually the function. It's just not visible. Live and...

Two batches of scientific data released on Chang'e-4. "The thirteenth batch of scientific data released on Chang'e-4" ...

"China's Chang'e-4 probe resumes work for 29th lunar day" http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2021-04/07/c_139864462.htm

The 3rd launch in April as well as the 29th launch this year is by Russia. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2021/04/soyuz-ms18-launch-docking/ ...

The GAN has done a good job of reproducing the sky as it appears in astrophotographs of the Milky Way, I'd say, presumably because there is fairly...

That might well serve to drive the local mice indoors in a house with no cat. My parents once lived in a tenement flat, with cat owners on the floor...

That seems likely to be part of a HLS mockup, I'm not aware of any indication it has anything to do with the prototypes.

As I mentioned in another thread, Mrs Extravoice received her second COVID vaccination shot late last week. Officially, she won't be fully...

It was current events when I was at the uni.

LOL, I've received infractions for my comments wrt selvaarchi's continued aggrandizement of China's space efforts. But this time I am on his...

I mean before the horizon, sorry...they sometimes seem to have a gap at the bottom. Maybe the few times I actually saw the Milky Way was not quite...

You could make your podcast channel about where their are rough scratches in a rock and call them runes and proving Europeans were always here. Or...

There are literally 10 cats patrolling the neighbourhood (outdoors). But every now and then -autumn- the odd mouse decides that's it's more comfy...

I haven’t been tracking it as closely, but local cases are up substantially, despite a >20% “fully vaccinated” status. I wonder if the main driver...

Perhaps the blunt nosecone spotted earlier? Which is not in the overview image.

Mrs Extravoice received her second Pfizer shot late last week. Only side effect was a sore arm and extreme fatigue the next day. She is very much...

Yep. I’ve said words to that effect and usually, with colorful embellishments. I don’t think anything in my old house is square, plumb, or...
