    @jon-nyc said in Alan Turing: I studied one math, I did it quite well, and then I moved on. See, that's your American math. English maths is much more complete. Similarly, I believe you colonial chaps take meth, whereas a British derelict will drink meths.

    I have wood daily and three propane tanks. But I have one of those standing heaters you see in restaurants in the fall.

    I also had no idea this was being looked at.

    I haven't been on TNCR in a few days but my prediction is the US will strike Iran between 6:40 - 7:05 p.m. Eastern. Ok, let me turn on the news now.

    Smaller ball but same basket size, too. You think it'd be easier to score.

    @taiwan_girl said in Image to Video: How did it turn out? I dont have X so cannot see the comments. Same. I have seen some ads for turning old photos into short moving video clips, and I'd have to imagine that is particularly poignant and emotional to see for older folks who don't have 4K videos of every family moment as we do today.

    @LuFins-Dad said in SpaceX Starship 36 massive explosion: Trying to catch it is really difficult. This is the best I can do. I’m sure @89th can do better. [image: 1750336451961-img_4270.png] Nope that's the best frame we have. The secondary explosion was pretty awesome, too. This is why it's called a test!

    Trump(CF) rightly wanted Europe to pay the agreed fair share costs towards NATO and defence. And by suggesting the US might quit NATO he's making them/us do it. I don't see the US leaving NATO, we share some excellent bases all around the world.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2025/06/22/doomsday-scenario-bitcoin-suddenly-drops-under-100000-as-crypto-price-crash-fears-hit-ethereum-and-xrp/ Bitcoin has plummeted sharply amid fears U.S involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict could escalate into a wider regional war (adding to volatility expected from an imminent Federal Reserve earthquake). The bitcoin price, after shrugging off the initial exchange of fire between Israel and Iran, has crashed under $100,000 per bitcoin despite U.S. president Donald Trump confirming a "massive" game-changer this week. Ethereum, XRP and other major cryptocurrencies have also plummeted, wiping $250 billion from the combined market in just 24 hours. My question - who cares? Unless you have a high amount invested in bitcoin, does it really matter? If it drops to lets say, USD $10000, will it have any effect on the world economy? For me, I dont think so.

    @Renauda an American Doc Martin is in the works. I will try but doubt it will be as charming as the original.

    Did not realize that there were multiple cases of chimp monkeys tearing off faces. https://people.com/woman-chimp-face-was-ripped-off-shares-transplant-that-brought-my-life-back-11757261 A woman who made headlines 16 years ago when her friend’s pet chimpanzee “ripped her face off” has shared what she looks like after her groundbreaking face transplant.
