Why would you ever want to say no to coffee??

You're asking the wrong guy.

Me whenever I walk past the coffee cart after getting off the bus at uni.


I just discovered the Arabian Sand Boa Snake exists and I know now where the danger noodle meme comes from.

Really not looking forward to going back to school on Monday...
Currently contemplating life and the possibility of time travel.
  :'(
I'm in Year 12 but I sound like such a kid complaining about school... because once I get back, I'll be greeted by many MANY unwanted SACS.

Why does tofu taste amazing at one particular restaurant but really bad whenever I try to cook it? What is their secret?

Melbourne lost in a tight one, New Zealand lost to England in an insanely close World Cup Final, Federer lost to Djokovic in five sets in the Final.

Not a pleasant 12 hours of sport.

Results-wise, not pleasant. But that was the most riveting 12 hours of sport I've ever seen. Absolutely insane.

The Wimbledon final was an amazing match to watch. I felt overall Federer was slightly the better player, he just couldn't manage to win a tiebreaker :(
And it felt kind of unreal the World Cup going into a Super Over at much the same time as Wimbledon went into a final set tiebreak.
(No, I shouldn't still have been up - but I couldn't tear myself away...)

Isn't it insane that we can grow human brains in a laboratory? ( Or parts of them anyway. )

Do you press it (get the excess water out) and season it?

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing and humans walking on the moon.  It's one of those things that I know my parents and many others have told me where they were when it was broadcast (at school, for example) and how they still remember it.

This evening, I went to Scienceworks' 50th anniversary celebration, which was great, particularly the panel discussion and the Planetarium show.  One year on from the foundation of the Australian Space Agency, a lot of the talk was about the future: How do we get young people interested in space, how do we make sure they don't go off to the US or Europe to get their space experience, can we put a human on the moon?  For a while they dared to dream and did something we're still talking about. What can we do if we dare to dream?  So, what do you call an astronaut from Australia?  Several panellists suggested the answer should be "aussienaut".

The American Consulate sponsored it, and the consul was present and spun the story as the triumph of the youth of our two countries (apparently average age in mission control was 26...). And that if we get the youth of our two countries together again, there's no reason we can't journey to the stars (ed: maybe Mars is a slightly more realistic target for now...)

More relevant to this forum, one of the panellists was from RMIT and wanted us to know they're offering a new space science degree from next year. Another panellist was from Swinburne and said they were starting to offer a subject in space law.

I don't think it was a good idea to go from a rather turbulent flight straight to a bus back home. The motion nausea is real, even if I've been sucking on mints 😅
