Totes, yes a dip into things is perfectly fine. I do gardening on my windsowill and try to spend almost zero on pots & other equipment

I wonder whether it lives in the same terrain as Tigers, so that it can use that marking to ward off predators?

An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.

A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.

Let us salute the rogue genius of Desmond Morris, ape-watcher and last of the Surrealists, gone at 98. Here he is, less than 2 years ago, with his Man Ray tribute work - the photographic lips are those of Diana Dors, whom he dated in the 40s when she was still Diana Fluck.

Please cyclists do not be on the road in the dark with no lights or even reflectors. Even with street lights it is dangerous .

Humans are phenomenal, our brains did this. He was calm, because of practice & the main shuttle 320 feet away could manoeuvre towards him if the jet pack he was using failed. Proper, thorough planning, badass as hell!!

I was enjoying all Marathon coverage Flynn, 3hrs 3, some of the Kent got 2hrs 49 and one DNF, human stories, I go onto the BBC and there's a story about robots in China 'running' in a Half - and there's images of some these robots with trainers on. 😒

Cant someone who understands newspapers take on The Standard, there's things happening in London that need to be covered? London is still exciting but not enough energy is generated by a proper media ecosystem.

Another shout out to Victor Glover as Artemis II's pilot. While coming back in for their re-entry, NASA mentioned repeatedly how clean and perfect their trajectory was.
