Re: Decent Recent TV

The fall and rise of Reggie Dinkins loud Americans should grate on me like a doormat to the face, but, they're all kinda warmly wholesome in a lightly looney way.

Some of jokes flash by in the dialogue so quick it's hard to keep up.

Short episodes make it imminently bingeable.

Re: Artemis

I must admit to not giving the latest "Hello World" photo the attention it deserved. Moonlit so you can see stars behind the Earth and also aurora North and South plus some other atmospheric features.

Scott Manley's latest video explained it quite well.

Insane that NASA's entire annual budget ...

Re: Fuji Speedway Museum

Imgur shenanigans looks like it's stuffing up UK access.

Love the shallow dof old racer exhaust, they're all spectacular photos. N24 LFA looks amazing and I'm hugely jealous you got to see the (1 of 2?) Group S MR2 prototype.

Re: The Movie Thread

Project Hail Mary they would've had to have worked hard to stuff up what is close to The Martian 2 and starring a popular Ryan. They've done a very acceptable job with bringing the essence of book's story over.

Rocky is a whole load of fun, The Goz sheds many manly tears and it's a good adventure ...

Re: Harry’s Garage


I think the reason is it's 1080kg is no sound deadening whatsoever. As Mik said, a long road trip would lose its appeal fairly quickly unless you put earplugs in. T33 appeals more.


It's a myth that sound deadening/pack in sport cars adds much mass. In a Bentley/RR it might be 50kg. But in ...
