I found it much better than the day after, probably because of the smaller scale of the story. The build up at the start of Threads is probably one of the most stress inducing things I’ve watched, it feels so real.

It’s just a bad headline, I think it’s on highway G318 in Tibet, so you might be able to see Everest from there but you’re probably not starting a hike from the charging station.

It’s on the Tibetan side of Everest, and it reads like it’s on China National Highway 318 (G318 on Google maps), which is actually really not very close to Everest but I guess it’s the nearest main route on the northern side. Totally misleading headline. The average elevation of the Tibetan plateau is 4500m so the actual headline is “china builds an EV charging station on a main road in Tibet”. The base camps that most international travellers use are on the Nepalese side.

When George subbed for Lewis in 2020 he only had one entry in the championship. Though they were his only points so maybe that’s not the best example.

You don’t need to put it in the gear opposite to the direction it’ll roll. Generally you want to put it in the gear with the lowest ratio (which in my car I think is first), as that will require the most amount of force to turn the engine. But also some engines shouldn’t be rotated backwards because that might damage them. So that would mean put it in first facing downhill or reverse facing uphill.

Seems like it. SSTL (who made this satellite) do loads of earth observation stuff already so the MOD probably just bought time on those satellites like you said.

What does ctrl do on its own?
