I would die from the intellectual orgasm!

Party pooper!

Also, here's an interesting concept. The 'time constraint' is only really an issue because we are biological lifeforms who have finite lifetimes as a result of our biology. A life-form that has advanced to the stage of being capable of high end space exploration will quite plausibly have 'evolved' to the stage of partially or entirely being a technological life-form, a robot/android. In which case does the 'time constraint' problem of space exploration still apply? Would an intelligent species that have technological 'bodies' care about millions or even billions of years travelling? If yo

Though faster than light travel may be possible we do not yet know if it's possible to actually achieve it ourselves, physically that is, never mind technologically. What I mean is, there's not necessarily any physical limit on FTL velocities, as you point out, but light speed itself is a hard limit so it may not be possible to actually cross that limit. Effectively making FTL physically impossible. Unless we found a physical way of accelerating from stationary to FTL without actually at any point having to travel at light speed. That's be akin to accelerating your car from stationary to 100mp

I think it's wrong to believe that cash will always exist. There will undoubtedly always be people who prefer the anonymity that cash offers but the only reason the pound sterling has value is because of the trust that the market (users) have in it. The moment the Bank of England stop supporting cash currency (as a result of the market moving to digital) I suspect that it will rapidly become untrustworthy, of limited acceptance and be on borrowed time. The digital pound sterling, still supported by the central bank and the market will continue strongly but the cash currency pound will diverge

I don't think it's underestimated at all. The point is that it's a technological challenge, not a physical impossibility. So it's not quite as improbable, that another intelligent life-form will take to galactic space exploration, as first seems. They just need a level of technological advancement to make it worth while endeavour. Special relativity makes it possible in short periods of time but at the expense of returning to the world and society you left. Other speculative fields, such as FTL and wormholes etc may offer options that do not have that drawback.

40'000 years relative to the stationary observer. Potentially the travellers on the space ship would experience much less time. A ship that accelerates at 1G, to simulate Earth gravity, could in theory cross the Universe in around 12 years. Also, there is of course the speculative fields of faster than light travel. Edit: I'm talking about travelling to distance stars here, not Voyager which is going too slow to benefit from the time dilation effect I'm implying. Sorry, I confused your Voyager point with your travelling to distant stars one. My broad point is still valid thoug

Well all I can say is thank God for Space Force! If its a bug planet then they will be our only defence!

There's was a documentary a few years back about a fella with a micropenis like that. He had a steady relationship though with a happy missus. Despite that he had emotional problems about it. I didn't watch it through. -
I have so many questions! Personal, historical, political, biological, psychological...... so many! Poor b*****d must have been tormented by it. Tried to be 'normal' and is now on the sex offenders list.
-
Have you even read the report? Or just making shit up.
-
I also wondered how he lost his penis. Pretty sure he is genetically male though, not trans. If you believe that then you support transgender views. A penis doesn't really define a male to me, especially if the individual was naturally born with one and had it removed through accident or intention.

It's probably not too hard to go back that far when your 400 yr old ancestors lived in the same villages we do now! LOL. We're like f***ing hobbits that never left the shire!

I think the part that has been deemed 'sexual assault' is that it was assumed he was gonna stick a conventional flesh and blood penis in them, when in fact he was sticking some sort of artificial penis in them. This led to a degree of physical harm, alleged pain and even bleeding. But it wasn't like they didn't go back for more, albeit still under the belief it was a legit human penis. Seems more like sexual deception than assault to me. I'm going to read between the lines but I'd say this poor penis-less fella has got and had some pretty serious emotional/relationship problems as a resul

What a time to be alive! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/25/man-no-penis-admits-sexually-assaulting-two-women-thought-having/ My first thought is ironically that of sympathy for the poor fella with no cock! There's room for serious discussion on this whole thing imo, but, I'm dead! PS, "Ms Cockburn" .............................................

I don't know how easy it is, he just rolled out this huge piece of paper with our lineage on it. Went back 400 years. From see that and what I knew of regional history I was interested to see if the DNA test correlated at all so I did that myself few years later.
-
Dare say there are some 'missing links' on here! I think my uncle has done part of our family tree and I've done the autosomal DNA test. It's interesting, so long as you are aware of it's limitations.

Why doesn't the data show a clear link between gun ownership and murder? I was under the impression that too many guns in society led to utter carnage....

f***ing hell. Thanks for sharing your view on Sark though, noted. I've got friends that have spent a lot of time at Jersey, they speak highly of the place. A short visit would probably be quite refreshing for me personally. Oddly, I'd quite like to visit all of the British territories. Ascension, Falklands, Pitcairns etc etc. Doubt many have done it and they're literally scattered all over the planet.

I think we've spoke about our similar draw to NZ before. I'm trying to get a trip organised through one of Tyler's contacts to experience this place first hand. Who knows what I would do after that but like you I feel strongly rooted to this island. Sort of illogically for me, I think I'd be more suited elsewhere in truth. It's probably just latent nationalism and comfort.

The Callanish Stones one reminds me of another place I want to visit. The standing stones in Outlander. Craigh Na Dun is it?

I've just refreshed the browser and it's showing me the same as you now. Telegraph admin must have changed it. Shame, sorry. Well the first three alone are some of the best. I think I'll have to visit Skye next time I'm north of the wall and the channel islands have never really appealed to me but I think it's somewhere I need to go now, maybe just 3-5 days. Lulworth Cove, Dorset, looks a little treasure too. That one was one of the other 27, but I didn't know about it before now. It's cool looking at stuff like this. You can see how Game of Thrones drew a lot of inspirat

Can't you just view them on the Telegraph page mate. I can see all 30 and not a subscribed member or owt.

There will be hundreds of keepers up and down the country putting tens of miles a day into their spaniels, heat or not, starting very shortly. I think you just have to judge how the dog is responding to the heat, ensure it's regularly getting a swim in a water course or cattle trough and taking on plenty of fluid too. Some dogs handle heat well and it don't always make sense regarding coat either. The truth probably is that dogs that are used to working in such weather probably adapt to it.
