Can’t believe this is the same team that drew nil all with Italy

Aquarium rewards dolphins with fish if they bring a piece of litter or a dead gull to help keep the pool clean.

One dolphin starts tearing up litter into smaller pieces and trading each in for a reward, then uses fish rewards as bait to lure and kill gulls for larger rewards

Why dolphins are deep thinkers

The more we study dolphins, the brighter they turn out to be, writes Anuschka de Rohan

2 weeks ago I joined a gym - the first time I have been inside one for 20 years. I'm using a hyper-abbreviated regime, which currently involves one day on, one day off, with only one rep of each exercises. The point is to reach the point of failure where you can no longer move the weight at 7 or more repetitions.

So basically, I'm only spending about 90 minutes in the gym (3 sessions at 30 minutes each) each week, but I am finding that I need more self control not to go more often, even though I need the gaps to recuperate.

I'm not sure how I would cope if the local area drops into red traffic light - this lifestyle has become my new norm, and I think it would negatively impact me mentally as well as physically. I think I'll head out to kmart and grab a few kettle bells, so that I'm prepared for at least some exercise if the gym option is unavailable.

Great promo between MJF and CM Punk to kick off this weeks Dynamite. Bold programming move for the entire first segment to be a promo, not a match, but worth it

Early Chris De Burgh albums from the 70's are pretty good peaking with Crusader album in 1979.

Looks like NZ is not getting Discovery for a while

Star Trek: Discovery Is Lost to Most of the World Days Before Its Season 4 Premiere

In a shocking move, the hundreds of countries who watch Discovery on Netflix will now have no legal way to stream the show, or its new season.

@kiwiwomble said in Marvel movies and tv shows:

damn, a whole stack of new shows announced, not worried about them all (will probably watch them) but some look real interesting

retro (90's tv show continuation) xmen will be cool and i think secret invasion is a pretty bit event in the comics

The various Marvel Zombie comics were always pretty good - very intense/violent, and quite funny - it will be interesting seeing how those are adapted

@stargazer said in Highlanders 2022:

@kiwiwomble It's sad. He looks promising when he plays, but he's quite injury prone.

@Stockcar86 I second that; it's a pity that it may take an injury to another player to get Cridge or Parsons in a SR squad. At least one of them (probably Cridge because of Parsons' age) should be able to get a contract regardless.

I have also heard rumours about Highlanders' interest in Kereru-Symes, but I don't know whether there's any truth to it.

Also a rumour about interest from Queensland Reds in one of our players, but don't know who.

I think I agree with you about the age thing with Parsons. Highlanders already have Evans as the experienced/older lock. Parsons has always seemed to me like Buckman was - a guy you can trust to give it all and never let the side down. It might come down to the type of lock they want - Rangier (more a PPP replacement) then go with Parsons, more solid for additional scrum power - Cridge.
