This is incredibly fascinating... they look like monsters/machines from an early sci-fi show from the 60s or something!
I'm sure there are probably links between the two. The same fascinations about what lies at the bottom of the ocean could possibly be linked to the same fascinations of space decades later. Exploring the unknown in an inhospitable environment.
I'd love to see some of those suits up close.

Apparently, in 1990, it "was reprinted as The Complete & Uncut Edition. King restored over 400 pages of text that had been removed from his original manuscript, revised the order of the chapters, shifted the novel's setting 10 years forward from 1980 to 1990, and accordingly corrected a number of cultural references." according to Wikipedia.
I haven't been able to put the book down but, I think I can see where young you was coming from. I've just got up to where a lot of stuff kicks off and that's at least 600 pages in with 2200 odd left. The Shining is 447...
But, I absolutely loved The Shining and would recomend going to read the actual version of it, and not it's strange much longer cousin, lol. It's one of my favourites, along with Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Dissolution by C.J. Samson
It could very well be. Maybe including add-ons?
Apparently, personal terms have been agreed with Merino, the stumbling block is Real Sociedad who are looking for €35m.
I would absolutely take that, if true
I understand the frustration but, we have no idea on the inner workings of the club. Then, you factor in a whole other club we have no idea about, the player's wants and needs and then that player's agent.
Nobody wants to be ripped off and I'm sure nobody, especially the club, wants another Pepe.
Coding is something I've always wanted to do but, I wouldn't even know where to start with a bot.
I have a mate I could potentially chat with about it, so I may do that and see what he says.
I'm not against the idea, I just don't feel as active as other people are. It's also not something I've done before on a forum like Lemmy/Reddit.
Apparently, King went back and re-edited/revised The Stand to add things he liked and remove stuff he thought was pointless narrative, which made the book even longer.
I may also be reading a little slower to fully take in the words I'm reading. I think I have a habit of reading too fast and so I'm not really taking in a fuller picture of what I'm reading. So, not sure if that also factors in?
Watching the practical effects they used is so fascinating. They were using tricks invented a 100 years ago
I agree. I think context is important and looking back after the fact, with less emotion involved, it's easy to see how big a task he had.
I think Unai did a pretty decent job with the state the club was in. In an unlikely moment, we went on an unbeaten streak (but, yes, we failed to qualify for CL) and we made it to the Europa League final (albeit we ended up losing).
There were also some poor transfers by the club with Ceballos and the very costly Pepe. But, this was also under Raul Sanllehi, who seemed to under some scrutiny over the funds for that deal, from memory. Tierney did well for us though and, although David Luiz had a blunder or two in him, we were worse off without him in the defensive line at the line.
With more time, who knows how we may have developed under Unai. What we do know is that Arteta stepped in and I think blew us away (at least he did for me).
His vision was clear and he reunified everyone, fans and club, after how fractured we all were. He also hasn't been faultless, but you can't question where we are now from where we were when he started. And he has well surpassed what Emery contributed to Arsenal.
