Bit of a struggle. About seven minutes.

Winter vaccinations this evening on top of a hangover. Not my finest planning but glad to have those antibodies starting to gather.

Hands up! Had to use a cheat site to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Flummoxed by this one. Good luck guys.

Quote from: Thenop on October 27, 2024, 03:27:43 PMFeyenoord is on a roll. 2 away wins in the Champions league, 2 away wins in the league, coming Wednesday we get to play Ajax away, and all of that while we still have at least 3 players injured that are normally A team players and internationals.
Bring it one.

I used to collect football programmes. Somewhere in my loft is a Charlton Athletic programme with a colour photo of Feyenoord inside. I don't know why it was included. The picture is probably late 70s and it made me fall in love with the Feyenoord kit. I've liked its striking look ever since. With the exception of one evening in 1970 of course. If Celtic had been twice winners of the European Cup it would have been something truly special. Oh well. Not to be. Wow! Just Googled Ove Kindvall who is now 81. Fair play to you, sir!

Two years ago I messaged a friend (a refrigeration engineer) on Facebook as my freezer was playing up. He didn't reply. He moved to Wales a few weeks ago and noticed and replied apologetically to my ancient, missed message this morning. About an hour ago I mentioned in passing another friend's name whom I haven't been in contact with for a long time. A few seconds later I received a Facebook message from the friend in Wales suggesting the next time he is in Glasgow the three of us should meet up. Spooky!

Awww shucks! You described me as your friend.🥰

Quote from: The Picnic Wasp on October 27, 2024, 02:18:53 PMIf galaxies do exist everywhere in an unending universe, does this rule out the possibility of a big bang? I'd never thought of there being an infinite amount of matter until now. Perhaps matter needs to create its own space. I don't know if this kind of thinking is good or bad for the human mind. I once thought about a number which literally scared me. What if every male reproductive cell from all time, was to singularly penetrate every human ovum which has ever existed, so that every possible variation of a human being could exist? What kind of number would that be? Would it even be able of calculation? I suppose it would be a reasonable equation for a brilliant mathematician. Starting with one male from prehistory, the number of cells he produces since adolescence, times the number of ova the first woman in the  sequence produces in her life time. Add that to woman number two's result, and so on. The only stumbling block might be the determination of when we became actual humans as we know today. Would the number be more than the number of galaxies or planets? Would it be more than the number of atoms in the universe as these are recycled? Answers on a postcard.

Seems to make the God thing look very odd, making all those universes to be worried if somebody was not keeping the sabbath day on a small planet within a single universe.
 

I take a contrary view on this as I sit gulping down San Miguel. God is the only acceptable answer to me in our unfathomable part of all this. We have a small amount of squishy material sitting within a fragile shell atop our pitifully insignificant existence, yet we have attained such knowledge so quickly in relative terms. We unravel His mysteries and language such as DNA and gravity on a regular basis now. Greater questions and tasks lie ahead but I always reach the conclusion they are part of a designer's plan rather than an accident. I'm not good at quoting scripture as my memory isn't so great but if the Son of God stated that things will be revealed to us that we could never imagine then that's good enough for me.

Line four would have been great. Three minutes.

I watched this on my 'phone this afternoon. I have no words to express how mind bending this is. I might give it a go later tonight with some alcohol in my system to find out what effect it triggers in me surrounded by that comforting mental blanket. The thing which astounded me the most and which puzzled me even more, was the possibility that this fairly recent discovery just might continue forever and that my only reaction was "why"? Vast distances are frustratingly annoying but perhaps not always, or for everysomething. Could an extraterrestrial existence be so huge in form that reaching out from its titanic planetary solar system towards ours might be a much less daunting venture?

Edit: Bought some Furstenberg today so I'll probably have cracked this quandary not long after MOTD.

Forty five seconds.

It's the fact that she seems defeated which troubles me. Could be guilt or could be the weight of the system she realised she was up against. I have a horrible feeling we will never know for sure.

Not really a status cymbal then.

It's too sunny here for a coat, otherwise I'd hand you one.
