I think this time-lapse video is amazing. Europa and Io orbiting Jupiter.

The gravitational effects as they pass each other must be astounding.

 

It truly amazing that such can exist for more than a few years without destabilising each others orbits

If you enjoy word games, there is a new free app called Wordle.  Available on your phone or tablet app store.

 

Good for relaxation and keeping mind active.

UB, Thanks for posting about the word game, have just looked on it and the reviews are not very good! 

 

I like word games like scrabble etc and love Hidden Object games

New Highway Code rules change who has priority at roundabouts

 

 

 

 

 

Just had my first really bad experience with this.  Have had a few idiots just stick their legs out onto road as you are driving along, but this one could have ended up nasty

 

Just driven down a busy 30mph road, with someone too close behind and cars behind her, slowed down and indicated to turn left into a shopping center - slowed down more as there was a gaggle of older folk milling around on the pavement at the corner.

Started to turn in and two of the prats just stepped out in front of me, one with his hand up toward me. I had been clearly indicating left turn and had started turning into a clear road.

 

I had the choice of emergency stop with my tail hanging out onto a busy road, run the two old twats down or swerve across to the other side of the entrance.

I swerved and missed him, he scowled at me, I shouted Piers Morgan, and almost pulled up to go back and punch his lights out - but didnt = no doubt his entourage would all say it was an UN-provoked attack.

Is Ukraine the start of WW3 ?

 

Whilst I don't think this is likely, the behaviour of Putin is a bit concerning.

[tobyjugg2]

Dont know whether putin is playing the nut or really has lost the plot

But the (expected) further assault on Ukraine is likely a bigger mistake than the wests invasion and attempt at regime change in Syria.

 

Russia is already having a run on the ruble and propping it up in the same way the UK mistakenly did in the ERM debacle.

 

He may have 680B in foreign currency reserves, and loads of links into the Uk London and Germany, but they are burning up fast

At least they had a soft landing after being tasered

Store Manager thankful the incident did not take place in the crockery and glassware section !

 

 

[tobyjugg2]

If she was darker skinned .. let alone a darker skinned male, wonder if he'd have just shot her 5 or six times - without changing to a taser, waiting for backup or spending so long and so many times demanding she drop the knife?

.. perhaps after turning off his body cam?

 

 

If it was the met none of that would have happened as they are all too busy with the vastly more important tasks of guarding oligarchs empty mansions from 'terrorists' armed with some paper and paste putting up posters on them

 

Are you an oligarch, NO!! then go online and fill in an incident form and email it and we'll get back to you sometime .. maybe, All our officers and jcbs are far too busy

This is very powerful, Sen Chris Murphy on the Texas school shooting yesterday.

Also with the above post there is the Governor of Texas Gregg Abbott (Republican Party) 

 

Giving his condolences to those poor families who lost loved ones but he was invited to attend the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Houston this week but may or may not attend.

 

I wonder exactly where he stand on Gun Control in America

Oh and look who has said they will attend that National Rifle Association meeting ex President Donald Trump maybe to get more votes and money bet he wont be telling the NRA we need Gun Control.

 

My Condolences go out to all those families that lost loved ones and those affected by this.

[tobyjugg2]

dropped out of the NRA meeting hasn't he

That'll cost him.

 

... wonder if Trump will trash him for it? - hopefully, although trump will then just endorse someone more radical - but the more GOP infighting the better IMO.

I find some US Court decisions to be bizarre including this one, which I am sure will be overturned by Federal Judges.

The unprecedented judgement could redefine what kind of ‘injuries’ car insurance firms have to pay out for in the future.

 

Insurers will be a bit worried by this and will be busy updating their policy terms to confirm the limitations of any liability cover.

UK Government and Police not interested in fraud ?  Why ? Did Government by trying to keep crime numbers down and making fraud a low priority for investigation, signal to criminals that they could commit fraud without much chance of being prosecuted.

That's very disappointing, UB and hugely distressing for the victims. As the police don't seem too concerned about things like theft either, what are they spending their time on?
