        I was tipped off to the above by the menswear guy. Interesting thread.

            There is a game in Thailand called Sepak Takraw, which you can see played a lot in parks and in villages. Kind of like volleyball but can only use your feet. I tried once, and only once!! LOL Quite difficult.

              I've never tried it. I guess I'll never know whether I have a latent talent for it, which might have propelled me to international stardom. The road not taken.

                  I think it was Bill Gates who said we overestimate the amount of change coming in 18 months and underestimate the amount of change coming in a decade.

                          The comparison of Earth vs Jupiter is worse. Should we no longer call Earth a planet?

                            True! But yeah, Earth is a planet.

                              IMO, Earth is a planet.

                                Maybe we should stop calling Jupiter a planet. It doesn't matter, anyway, as it can't hear us.

                                Fucking Jupiter, what an asshole. We should just stop calling it at all.

                                I was only joking

                                    Planets, all planets in the universe, not just the local 9) should be ranked by size and smaller planets should have DEI protection.
