Alfie’s decided that the only way to cope is to get creative in his sleeping position.
One other major issue you missed. The "Gateway To Mars" sign isn't rapidly reusable. 😀
This is what I'm seeing on the BBC website now, in UK at least. It's changed a little.
It's on the rolling BBC live coverage on Trump. Here's the full context. Saw it first thing this morning, and immediately closed the page.
Turns out I was wrong. It was slightly earlier… down to the exact date! Now that’s real optimism.
Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but from the preview, I hope your Ups and Downs include this reference 😀
Same! Besides everything else, the way the inside of the engine bay was glowing after re-entry heating was incredible. I guess I should have expected it, but the dark nozzles really set it off.
The dog in the background must be Half-at-sea Bark. Great photo (and dog) btw. This is my badger inspector, who checked me out several nights in a row last winter.
I think the project called it a spacewalk first. They sensibly scaled it down from the original plans as it progressed, but when Polaris Dawn was first announced, they showed a more traditional spacewalk. It probably stuck from then on.
Reminded me of these Twitter trending topics a while back. I know who I thought that was referring to 😀
This current predicition from the ElectoralCalculus website is more in line with what I expected here in the new Chippenham constituency, with LibDems the best choice for tactical voting. They're certainly trying hard. Had yet another leaflet arrive while I was typing this!
Well, this is annoying for tactical voting here (FT projection). Confusing constituency due to boundary changes, largely comprising 50% of two previous constituencies, with the incumbents not standing here. Need to watch local polls and tactical voting guides carefully. Could drift further.
A rare excursion back to Twitter/X to check something, and I was amused to find the trending topics giving me the perfect description of Elon Musk.
