Underrated in my opinion...very funny.

Not sure what you mean here, are you meaning that I should think outside of the laws of physics as we understand them? If so, fair enough, but as a scientist I won't do that until it's proven otherwise.
Intelligent alien life from other star systems aren't just going to crash into Earth in some remote location. If we ever have or will be visited by intelligent life that has travelled interstellar, the world will know about it. To think that a government on Earth could stop that being known is pretty ridiculous.

The reality is that if we ever are visited it will likely be robotic, distances in space are vast and the amount of energy required to travel installer isn't something you can hide very easily.
I live in Norwich, UK, love it here, can walk around pretty much anywhere city day and night and not have to worry too much about my surroundings. People are generally friendly...certainly feel safer walking around in Norwich than I would in any similar sized city in the southern US. But hey-ho people in the States and right wingers here will still lead you to believe there is crazy shite going on...might be, but apart from from anti-immigration protests last summer I've not really seen anything.

Was my first game in Tiger Stadium as a freshman at LSU…talk about getting hooked in!
for 2019 alone, I was always love O...forever in history going forward you can ask the internet/AI, whatever, what the greatest college football team/season of all time was and that team will either be the answer or mentioned in the discussion. That will never change. Maybe he caught lightning in a bottle and then quit, but if Lane wants him back, I'm down.
I'd have rather had 2019 followed by what we had than 5-6 seasons of 10-2 and no title.

Hasn’t happened to me in the UK since you posted this (and prior it was happening pretty regularly the last couple of days)

Seems to be pretty random
it doesn't really matter what side of the fence you sit on, this is the equivalent of a high school sophomore potential 5-star committing to LSU and actually sticking to it, :lol:

I'm getting it too Chicken...I usually have it as a saved tab on my Safari browser in the UK, it's okay if I open a new tab/window, but if I try to refresh an already existing tab it happens.
Don't forget good ole Norfolk and the Broads (that's where I've lived for 25 years) and I love Norwich, it's a great small city, friendly, laid back, plenty of non-chain shops, etc.
I've lived in the UK for the past 20 years, and I honestly have no clue what all this is about...I travel around a lot for work, and I also visit the States regularly and I feel much safer in the UK than the average city in the US. I also like the way people treat each other here better.

Also on another note, the history of the UK (in particular England) is one of constant immigration and changing of peoples, from the vikings, romans, angles, saxons, normands, (French), jutes, etc. Lots of people have and will come and go out of this country.

Downvotes ahoy!
Feels like a mid-Spring training lineup.
still irks me that the Stros lost to the Nats in 2019...(I know cheaters, trash cans, blah blah blah)

Yes. And there are many in the UK (populace & government ) very bitter about it still. They want to be governed and judged by their EU masters. They suffer some fetish and desire to be controlled. Its collective Western civilization guilt run amok.


Explain to me what has improved in the UK since Brexit? I've lived here since 2004, and can literally see no benefit from leaving the EU...Health service strained more than ever (partly do to lack of European workers who were helping to keep it running), and no more free movement for Brits around the EU. All the promised "we will govern ourselves" BS - yet the conservatives literally just replaced EU laws with the same stuff.
Damn Cam Smith…he really hates baseballs…
