The actress is Irish but she's playing a English woman (and the guy is English too), it's supposed to be set in Wales but I think it was shot in Dublin.

No, there was always six people, the governor of Texas (who was shot three times) and his wife were always there, who did you think was driving? Mods, can we rename this thread "Diatoms has a shitty memory"?

So we have Australia to blame for this, why am I not surprised? They put pineapple on their fucking burgers too, savages.

apparently Mbappe was more interested in coming to Liverpool than City, didn't fancy the idea of competing with Aguero presumably, we were willing to match any fee for him. We've no chance up against Madrid though.

Lukaku has been a bit of a flat track bully so far (~85% of his goals last season came against the teams below Everton), he looks very good at times (usually when he's starting wide, rather than sitting up front - which is where I'm guessing Mourinho will play him), but then completely useless at others, he's still young though, and maybe playing for a better team (just about) will help him develop his game. Salah looks like a great signing, has been brilliant since he left Chelsea (where he was never really given a chance), one of the best performing wingers in all of Europe (sometimes played as a second striker as well). He's incredibly fast, goal scoring has been great, he seems to be especially good at arriving late into the box to tap them in, and should improve us a lot on the counter attack too (we were very poor at finishing off counter attacks last season). He's got a very healthy number of assists too. Still only 25, so hopefully we'll have him for his peak years. We really missed another quality/pacy attacking option out wide last year when Mané was missing/injured, so important squad improvement, especially with the extra European games coming up. The Van Dijk thing was a bit of a shambles, we've probably just pissed off Southampton too much by constantly buying all their players, we weren't doing anything other clubs weren't doing themselves. Still wouldn't be surprised if we signed him though, and would be a great signing - he's massive, great in the air, lots of pace, very good on the ball, ticks all the boxes you want in a centre back really. Keita from Leipzig seems to be our other main target, know less about him, seems to be a good box-to-box midfielder, Leipzig have the backing to resist our overtures if they want so will probably depend on how much of a stink the player kicks up whether we can get the deal done. If not we can get him cheaper next season due to a release clause apparently. We don't seem to be in much of a hurry to offload Sturridge / he doesn't want to leave, not been reliably linked with any strikers aside from Mbappe (which isn't going to happen). We have signed Dom Solanke from Chelsea, he's just 19 though so will likely be one for the U23s/domestic cups, he looked good in the U20 WC though (was player of the tournament). We'll be after a left back as well, if we sell Moreno, but it doesn't seem to be a big priority and we're happy to get someone young it seems (maybe Andrew Robertson from Hull, who looks good). I thought we'd be after another right back as well, but Klopp seems to be pretty happy with his options there. Lucas might finally be out the door (have been saying that every summer for the last 3-4 years though), would like to see him stay in the premier league, maybe he could rejoin Rafa at Newcastle, completely underrated player.

Yes I was just coincidentally browsing VWs website when I opened this page in another tab, and to my surprise...

they don't need to prove collusion, obstruction of justice would be enough. obviously the more they can prove the better though.

oh, right. I've never even heard of him, must be an american thing. still though, Maron's standup is shit.

I think its very telling I haven't heard of this guy until today. Really can't understand why people consider him a "legendary" comedian He's not a very good comedian, and I don't think all that many people think of him as a legendary one either, his TV show is mediocre at best too. He's quite a good interviewer though, interesting guests and really gets them talking. I haven't heard a WTF pod in years though, so no idea if he's still got the goods.

Life been done, use the search first.

Life - not sure why this got such a bad rap, much better than Alien Covenant, wasn't even that much of an Alien rip-off like I'd heard people say.

there's been lots of rumours that came to naught so far, so not going to get my hopes up for this one. I mean it'll happen eventually, but it could be a long road still.

worth pointing out that those wild hippies don't see a future in solar power providing a large % of global power any time soon, from another article on their site: http://www.mckinsey.com/industries/oil-and-gas/our-insights/five-things-bill-gates-gets-right-on-energy It's always possible to find localised success stories when it comes to renewables, like highlighted in your first article, and there's room for growth in that area still. The problem comes when you try and ramp things up to global scale. Both for building batteries, solar cells, and wind turbines, this would call for a ridiculous increase in the amount of mining for all the elements required in construction, with rather devastating environmental consequences, and no guarantee you'd even be able to meet demand, or keep prices low enough for it to be feasible. The batteries don't even last very long, so factoring in the constant need for replacement and the resources required shoot up even more. All that could be mitigated by mining asteroids or something, but that's obviously some way off. If the growth in storage capacity happens like all other technologies that take advantage of efficiencies of scale, the change will happen sooner rather than later. The reason I posted that link from McKinsey is that it is very surprising for them to actually post something like that on their site - they are the epitome of conservatives when it comes to energy policy. I don't necessarily disagree with you on the idea of nuclear being a part of our energy solution, but there is nothing that says we can't do both at once. We should be looking at increasing our ability to use renewables as much as possible. Did you not read my earlier post, where I advocated doing both at once? All I'm saying is that it's not going to be enough on it's own, certainly not in the short-medium term, and not in the long term without ridiculous levels of capital investment (and even then probably not, and by then it would likely be too late anyway). Countries like Germany are going about it the wrong way, and it's not going to end well.

I've still only read about 3/4s of that, must read it again. What I had read was great though.

Get Out

Deep Impact was the better of the two shitty asteroid movies that year.

Nonono it's the fact that it's so gaudy and over the top that makes it great, all the eastethics man! So much. Great! Haven't seen Sisters. nah, I have very little time for watching Al Pacino chewing the scenery. this has much better aesthetics:

Scarface is one of his shittier films, the original is good though. I thought Sisters was great.

Wind and Solar still only account for less than 2% global energy usage.

fateful findings, also the last movie I watched.

No. It was only around 12% in 2016 (fossil fuels were still responsible for around 80%, nuclear had decreased to about 7% from around double that in previous years). You need to be very careful when looking at figures from biased sources, where they tend to use installed capacity and similar measures, which don't tell you how much power was actually generated and used. Not only do you have to discount unused capacity, but you also have to discount excess unused generated power (e.g. there are times when very large amounts of energy are generated but can't be used, like when there's a peak in wind production in the middle of the night, or on a very sunny day, often they have to pay suppliers to turn off the power to prevent blowing the grid). Even of the renewable power that was used, biomass actually provided the majority that year, not solar or wind, and biomass is a very bad idea environmentally (if you want to scale it up, requires lots and lots of land use). The most important fact about Germany is that they haven't been able to decrease their use of fossil fuels at all in their recent expansion of renewables, when they turn off their remaining nuclear this will just stress the system even more.
