Ohh, you've got all my water particles in a bother.

Is the pill blue by chance?

No blue pills for you :lol:

If rabbit hole lasts for longer than four hours, contact a doctor immediately.

Statistically, I only post once every 96 minutes. Or once per orbit.

Then your data bill must be terrorific, at least as much as Hadfield`s

Speaking of data bills, YouTube went haywire the other day and used up all of my month's 2 GB in a matter of minutes. And I'm only a week into the billing month...
The app isn't really supposed to use data in the background on mobile, but I guess it didn't cease some background preloading it was doing on wifi.
So now I've got my phone settings configured to restrict background data on mobile networks for that app. (Thank you, extensive S3 settings!)
Might send some sort of bug report to Google/YouTube. And I know not to expect sympathy from AT&T. (Who is also nearly TWO updates behind on firmware)

The youtube App can be nasty if you let it preload your favorites. I never checked this feature... I have problems consuming my 1 GB volume anyway, since fast mobile internet connections are rare in Germany. It is claimed that we have LTE nearly everywhere, but in reality in most places you are down to EDGE and can't even use the full bandwidth of EDGE. The providers simply don't invest into their infrastructure as much as they should. They have not noticed how smartphones became suddenly standard and how the data volume per smartphone is constantly increasing.

I can't believe our physics teacher just wasted his entire period of making up jokes while we introduce ourselves. :dry:

Werner Lang, the leading engineer for the famous Trabant 601 car has died yesterday in Zwickau. When he did his work, the Trabant 601 was years ahead of the western cars - and then quickly overtaken, because the communist government of the GDR put any successive R&D very very low on their priority list. This in 2008, the car was put by the Times magazine on the list for the 50 worst cars in history. (True in 2008, but had once been different)

Not related to space, you might think, but that is actually wrong: In the 1970s, Volkswagen delivered 10,000 "Golf" cars (AKA Rabbit in the USA). In return for the trade, Wolfsburg, the hometown of Volkswagen, received its first astronomical projector (still analog projection, but controlled by a digital computer already) made by VEB Zeiss Jena for its new planetarium, one of the few products in which the GDR had still been world leader, the old projector had quite a long career before it was replaced a few years ago by a fully digital one - by a model of the same company, which still exists. The planetarium here is still one of the most modern planetariums in the world, being the first to receive the full dome projection technology by the former east German company.

And a few years later, because of the good contacts, the GDR did another trade with Volkswagen buying the license rights and blueprints for building their own version of a small 1043 ccm Volkswagen four stroke engine, which was then used for a few years in the final Trabant model, the Trabant 1.1.

Wow, saw my first 787 (far away, 30 km downrange), Eurofighter and C-130 today.
Looks like I can't add the VC-25 to the list, propably flying to far north.

Don't think I could handle that. Some joking around is fun and all, but that's bollocks.

Troubles of an introvert: Introductions infront of everyone, nearly as worse as telling everyone about your holidays.

And years after school I've learned you could have said: "Hello, I'm right out of jail after having killed a teacher asking me to introduce myself."
A shame I've never used that one...

I can live with introductions, but I draw the line at filling out an "about me" form.

 

[mojoey]

You could always tell them that you have no trouble going back to jail.

My latest Vocaloid fav is Gumi Megpoid. So far I've seen "Kiss Me" feat. IA, "Matryoshka" feat. Miku, and Gumi's version of "Kocci Muite Baby."

Holy smokes, Gumi is just yummy:thumbup::hitit:

So, there was a beautiful B-25 Mitchell flying around here around last Saturday. Turns out it was from a group that restores and flies various World War II era combat aircraft from most of the major players in the war. I found out that on the 29th, they're going to be flying F6F Hellcats and A6M Zeros to commemorate the Pacific Air War. I might try to grab some photos if they do any close flyovers. Anyway, it is pretty awesome to see those old birds still flying.

Does anybody want to continue the Urwumpe Conspiracy Theories?

The extreme heat today had caused the first fatality: The Autobahn A8. The concrete plates, that formed this autobahn had expanded so much in the heat that they uplifted and broke, leaving centimeter high sharp steps behind.

Happens every other year here, but is pretty messy. Usually the concrete is heat resistant, but under such extremes, they can fail. Took the repair teams one night to fix.

Yes, summer in Germany does not only mean that US presidents hold short speeches.

Tomorrow will see likely extremely strong thunderstorms passing from west to east. Conditions are pretty fine for some tornadoes here, the CAPE values are already skyrocketing here thanks to the extreme moisture everywhere.

I supposed we could keep speculating... I think the theory of him being a robot is probably the most solid out of all of them.

He could be Kahn for all we know.
