David Cameron, you say.

I guess they want to remind everyone that remind everyone that Brexit was the conservatives’ fault, ahead of the next election?

This CNN story highlights that, these days, the closure of golf courses in the US outweighs the opening of new courses. That's good news in itself. The benefits are manifold, the results stellar.

Reading about the Panama Canal not having enough water to run at full capacity and I wonder: why don't they use ocean water in the locks? Is it the cost of pumping it? Corrosion on the lock mechanisms? Environmental damage due to salt accumulation in the surrounding soil?

Does anyone know (or have a pointer to where I could read more)? Thanks.

Somewhat losing my mind upon discovering a surprisingly large army of Flat Earthers on the other website.

1. Ancient Greek philosopher Eratosthenes figured out the size and shape of Earth (it’s round guys) by putting a stick in the ground in two cities and observing two different shadows in 240 BC.

2. Do they think astronauts on the ISS who send back photos of Earth every day with their iPhone are instead laughing and giggling as they make CGI photos? What’s in it for them?

In case anyone is wondering:

1. spray your muffin tins outside, otherwise the kitchen floor will become incredibly slippery and you will fall on your arse

2. it really is worth the extra trip into town to buy muffin cases because even though you've sprayed the tin your muffins will stick and tear when you're trying to turn them out. This is especially true if they're fruit muffins.
