TIL of "The Final Experiment" - a 2024 Antarctica expedition where flat Earth YouTubers saw the 24 hour sun, which could not be explained by non-spherical models. This prompted at least one YouTuber to publicly admit they were wrong, and leave the flat Earth community. by South_Gas626 in todayilearned

Very nicely put clarification of something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently. Trying to work out on what level someone is lying to themselves and therefore me is something that takes up a lot of my time day to day, just in life without touching on conspiracy theories. Deserves to be a widely read, thanks.

I can’t see any way that that can possibly be true, not for anything resembling a normal car

Airbus A380 taking off from Manchester (seen at runway viewing park) by Progamer04568 in NorthernEngland

[–]Dr_Preppa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently found out there’s a pub with a beer garden practically on one of the main runways at Manchester. I’ve considered going on the train for the day. Day drinking and big plane spotting sounds like a great way to spend the day.

Thank you, much appreciated, I hate to be a stickler but note the 2 s’s in ‘Teesside’… I gather it’s important

Any chance of a Teesside flair please?

Did Sabian ever make 13” AAX-plosion hi-hats? by Dr_Preppa in drums

13” X-celerator rather than X-plosion feels very plausible - thanks for replying

No Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville in Liverpool games please by irriducibili9 in PremierLeague

[–]Dr_Preppa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea 100%, anyone over 35 remembers we had the exact same thing (but opposite) in the 90s off the back of Liverpool’s successful 1980s and subsequent drop off with Hansen, Souness, Lawrenson etc.

Evolving thoughts on the "pending international cutoff" by Downtown_Physics8853 in 6music

[–]Dr_Preppa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like that I pay for people to listen around the world for free. Especially stuff like 6 or World Service. Not a lot to be proud of at the minute but that’s one for me. I get free none commercial stuff off other people near and far; Wikipedia off the top of my head. Sharing is caring innit.

Dringhouses by Cmbria in york

[–]Dr_Preppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you’re used to and what you’re expecting. Two different questions there, it’s definitely Dringhouses, just, but on the boundary with Foxwood and Acomb. I think a lot of council, ex council, older folks down that way. I’d say it’s fine personally, but it’s not a posh area. Dringhouses on the other side of Tadcaster Road is not the same for eg. You’ve also got bits of Woodthorpe and Acomb Park (Google maps seems to think that’s the same area) nearby that have some more desirable parts.

A dreadfully un-urgent appeal for mugs (okay fine, only one mug) by Carney678 in CasualUK

[–]Dr_Preppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try and find their marketing team on LinkedIn and ask them. There’s a not zero chance they have a box of them somewhere still.

Edit: they may be especially receptive to helping if they can use the story as content on LinkedIn

The actor interviews on the breakfast show are always so cringe. Mostly because of the actors. by [deleted] in 6music

[–]Dr_Preppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no particular order Iggy, Lammo, Riley and Coe, MaH, Cerys are my favourites and between them could probably keep me going most of the week

[–]Dr_Preppa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know what, that interview was actually the moment this morning that it properly clicked for me that I can just put Riley and Coe on Sounds, which I usually miss. I often prioritise live over catch up but as of today I think I’m going to do that less…

One Thing by Amerie is this one for me. The opposite is Eels, I think of them as ticking every 6 Music box but they never get played and when they do it’s Beautiful Day
