Poland lost and got eliminated from Euro (can't say it was unexpected but hope always dies last). This is the first really big, international sports event in Poland and it would've been nice if we could keep playing. I watch mostly the in-between matches reports because it so nice to see home and Poland of Euro certainly looks pretty on TV (although I could do with less racism reports) and I can keep doing that but now without extra fun of hearing the commentators trying to pronounce Polish surnames.
Bat-bridges do nothing to save the bats. Bats have their favourite flying paths they use for hunting and they often go close to the ground to protect them from other predators. If a road gets built in the middle of such path bats get killed by cars. The bat gantries or bridges are currently thought to be the best way to protect them by showing them a new path. However, new research shows that bats completely ignore those and keep using the old path. And die.
grrm admitted what we all knew (it was certainly something I thought about as soon as HBO started making Game of Thrones) -
he writes very slowly and may not be able to finish before TV series catches up to the books. Maybe they really should start changing things and don't look back.
And speaking of GoT -
there is that George W. Bush head on a spike thing (they just had some lying around and because making them is expensive they used it and
now people are loosing their shit) and in the latest installment they are
pulling the episode to erase it from it so if you have the old version hold on to it. I don't really care either way - not my president after all - but the whole thing is both funny and a little bit sad. Martin wanted to have cameo like that but they couldn't afford it.
