Just came upon this drone video of a volcano erupting.

Wow!

Happy Birthday, Sleepyowl!

Hope you wake up for your birthday.

Happy Birthday, and a great year to come!

24 April 1916 – Voyage of the James Caird begins
Ernest Shackleton and five men of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition launch a lifeboat from uninhabited Elephant Island in the Southern Ocean to organise a rescue for the crew of the sunken Endurance.

Especially for those who worked on the WW1 RN ships but others may be interested too.

May we never forget.

Lest we forget.

Hope you have a great flight on the 27th to DownUnder.
Don't forget your laptop to keep up your great OW work on the (probably boring) flight.

I would, except I don't own a laptop. Nor do I have an extension cord long enough to plug in my computer and monitor for the duration of the flight. Besides that, my 27" monitor would span at least three or maybe four seats in economy. My fellow seatmates would not be pleased.

Maybe you could recruit them

Give me an extension cord that's 7095.5 nautical miles long and I'll see what I can do.

Do you think they would let me take it as carry-on and hang it out the window?

Pity your not on the Concord.

This place is a model engineers (and kids) heaven. All worlds are run by computer code and some by AI.

The car race is fully controlled by AI (no humans) Check out the specs mentioned in the video

Enjoy the labour of the model makers and coders.

There are many youtube videos on the construction of the "Miniatur Wonderland"

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!
