Given you like the Miyazake movies so much, you really should give Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ( https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/70019062 ) a watch. Avoid the American "Warriors of the Wind" becaus

you'll see atmospheric banding in a 6 inch reflecting telescope if the mirror is decent, the optical train is collimated, and the atmosphere is relatively calm. look for a dobsonian mounted tube, the telescopes subreddit has some good

claiming she had serious faults is fine. Blaming her and the monarchy for the execrable state of the modern United Kingdom is not. She was the monarch, but Parliament had primacy de jure during her reign. The sad state of affairs in our c

as someone who is becoming an elder, I can't help but feel a touch of Schadenfreude when I see youngsters run face-first into stuff that I've predicted will happen, secure in their knowledge that I'm a dinosaur and can't

Beren and Luthien would make a fantastic tale as well. Disguising themselves as a vampire and a werewolf to steal a Silmaril from Morgoth in the pits of Angband? Makes the quest of Mt Doom look like a picnic. Pity we'll never see it

I can quite easily reproduce the Amazon search bar by walking into a local high street pound shop. Their search is incredibly poor, skewing strongly towards promoted, clone or amazon brands. It's rare that i can find what I'm look

Endeavour flew a red ensign during her service in the Royal Navy, as far as I can determine. The White ensign only became the ensign of the entire Royal Navy in 1864, prior to that it was flown by ships of the White squadron of the Royal Na
