No mate. I’m on the scratcher for the first time in my life.

Is it covid related? I’m self employed myself and am currently twiddling my thumbs, scary stuff,
The reason I asked about the marketing was because the Guinness can shortage sounds like a marketing ploy to me

Yep. We got shut down entirely. No idea what the effect of all this will be on the business long term. We’re alright for the next 6 months but if the restrictions continue we could be fucked long term.

Been watching a few things about the true scale of the solar system, especially the outer planets, and my mind is well and truly boggled. The gaps between them are, literally, beyond comprehension.

Jupiter, fifth planet from the sun and on the far side of the asteroid belt, is only halfway between the sun and Saturn (planet 6).

Saturn is not even halfway to planet 7, Uranus.

Any recommendations? I does love a good space documentary.

Cosmos (the original with Carl Sagan, not the one with Trendy African American Science Guy) and The Farthest are amongst the best documentaries you’ll ever see.

I’ve more gone down a YouTube wormhole rather than any specific documentaries.

Children in 1966 predicting what year 2000 would be like. Kid at 1:28 nails it. Lots of them are scared of atomic bombs and nuclear war. Worth a watch.
