Jeez, didn't realise how far you made it before turning back

Map of the flight route, showing it departing from London, crossing up England touching the NE of Ireland before arcing over the Atlantic. It crosses Greenland a couple of hundred miles up from the tip, reaches almost to the West coast before turning sharply back on itself, almost 180º, and heading towards Iceland. Bands of increasingly dark shading can be seen encroaching from the East showing where the sun has sets in Europe, at the moment the plane turns back the sun is about to set in Reykjavik.

Do these people never learn? Doing something for Trump is never going to make him like you and will only get you stabbed in the back.

Except from article: Allies also say he feels particularly aggrieved that Trump has criticised the UK despite its military assistance when the US recently seized a Russian oil tanker in the Atlantic.

The existing IC service has some very cheap tickets too. Don't know the exact conversion rate, but I think this is under 5 Euro. Having options and opening up lines is great, but it's not like cheap train travel in Poland is a brand new invention.

Screenshot of a ticket offer from Krakow to Warsaw for 19 PLN from PKP Intercity.

Judge ripping into experts. She really ripped into both of them. "You're not paying attention, and you're just making stuff up"

Extract of a court judgment of a judge's assessment of two expert witnesses. Of one: "…he gave the impression of not having engaged particularly rigorously with the exercise he was being asked to perform… …mercilessly exposed examples of generalisations, loose assumptions and failures to dig into the relevant evidence. Dr Richards also occasionally lost the train of his thoughts or did not accurately recall the questions." Of the other: "Mr Archia… was certainly no better. He was, despite the making of a succession of fairly major mistakes… extremely dogmatic… His evidence was on occasion plainly overstated… …sought to overbear… the court with a document dump of citations (numbers of which on probing proved not to exist or not to be relevant to the proposition cited)"

There are worse places to be sat still on a train

Pretty views of a green grass-converted hill, rising up to wooded slopes to the right, with a big blue sky. At the edge of the frame you can see the front of the train we are on, stopped at a red light on a wide curve.

Surely they should clean the stage *before* letting the audience in?

A stage in all blank white, with mirror walls on left and right. On stage there is a woman vacuuming the (spotlessly clean) floor and a man walking towards a ladder for polishing the mirrors

I found the tree where they grow all the pigeons!

Photo upwards of a group of trees with bits of blue sky between branches and leaves. All of the branches have pigeons sitting on, dark shadows silhouetted against the light coming through the canopy.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire was exactly as good as you think it will be from the title. Some surprisingly big names in it though, Kevin Hart, Matt Lucas, John Rhys-Davies.

AFAIK that's largely urban legend and there's not really any good original reason for doing it. Nowadays football players do it mostly because it's a thing football players do And because performative christianity is also a thing football players do, inevitably this becomes a thing too

Gas pretty stable on average over the past ~8 years, slightly reducing. We've mostly made up with wind. Graphs from www.energydashboard.co.uk/historical
