This is a still from the unreleased film set after the train escapades.

"Doc, where are you going?" .. " not where, when! 1945!"

I see The Silence, does that count?

Second that, up for learning new history nuggets :)

It amazes me that no-one ever seems to say (not that I have seen, at least)...Isreal is a western, democratic state with nuclear weapons in the middle east.

It's basically a major power base for the west in the predominantly arab part of the world.

Anything else is a side arguement as far as I'm concerned.

Its so that people with lower cognitive ability know where to look!

Makes sense, use the prey's weight and momentum to do the hard work, rather than the relativly feable arm of a much smaller creature!

I suspect a surprising percentage of people just follow the crowd. No effort required to formulate any bigotry or predudice or whatever, just copy others and you're part of the gang. If there's nothing to copy they just shrink out of view.

Meanwhile, here in the Uk our government is making sure we won't have enough money to buy more than two days of food at a time.

Many species of butterlies and moths eat honeydew, aka aphid poop, so no nectar needed. Also the larvae do the bulk of the eating. Imagos of lepidoptera only need to survive not grow so food requirements are fairly low.

I also disagree. All you need is to say "I don't want/like that" and to understand that something could be lost or suffered to yourself or others, given a particular scenario. That can then be used to create a system of morality where the majority are in agreement with each aspect.

Oh and empathy. That's pretty critical!

I'd say that spirituality and religion is then formed off the back of and alongside general or universal moral beliefs and that many aspects cannot exist without morals in the first place.

Yes that's a youngster that's probably fallen out of the roost. I doubt it'll survive without getting back, which it probably won't be able to do itself. You say you're in Italy yes? Where abouts? I can see if any of my contacts here in the UK know who could help.

P.s. some species of bats carry rabies so at the very least where gloves if you do need to handle ir move it. A youngster is less likely to bite if handled and you could only catch it if they bite.

Also so thus link for advise on how to handle and safely contain the bat https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/help-ive-found-a-bat/bats-in-need-of-rescue/contain-the-bat

Directly below in my feed is a meme saying "I'll do it when I get home...me when I get home..." with a cat flopped out on a shelf. A small but gloriously serendipitous moment!

Mmm most points are valid but...Rooks and Jackdaws are nearly always in groups, but Carrion Crows are often alone. I assume they don't mean Magpies, Jays & Hooded Crows as they look distinctly different, but there's also Choughs to consider re all black crows, and possibly others I'm not familiar with outside of the UK.

Much the same, a very hard hitting message.

Germany are going to have to do the heavy lifting on this one, we can't even make one go half way up our country.

Sounds like a classic cursed artifact, read this and you will learn great knowledge, but die slowly....

Something I did some time ago, but a bright image for dank winter days :)

I still remember Domesday, it only happened the once before 'they' covered it up. I'll never forget it, so many questions.

Iirc, the phrase "bat shit crazy" comes from the harvesting of tropical bat guano (poop) for use as a fertliser. The poop is highly toxic, or contains toxic bacteria, which makes the harvesters go a little crazy! Not all bat species have this toxic poop.
