End of April, Snow - Album on Imgur[^]
It's not that much but if it keeps snowing

Blimey, that is a decent show fall too, not just a smattering.

They say it's only gonna be up to 20cm so nothing serious.
Next winter when we have good snowing i send you a pic of that

20 cm would be enough to wipe billions off the UK economy. We literally come to a standstill with snow that deep.

Same in northern Germany, but down here in the south, a road with 30-50cm snow on it, no problem we just throw it on a truck and drive it out of town. The snowhill sometimes lasts till July then XD

Good that you remind me. I still have a video from the last time I went flying in the snow with the helicopter.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Oh, there it is.
I wondered where it has moved to after having been here yesterday.

It hasn't gotten this far, yet (Stuttgart - Möhringen).
I'm hoping it won't, of course. :p Nor to Esslingen, so I won't have to deal with it at home, either.

You guys are living in a hot spot, so i guess it'll be to warm to snow

Usually, at around this time, I'd be watching Game of Thrones.
For six years have I been able to withstand the urge to watch GoT.
I wanted to wait for all seasons to be released.
But a few weeks ago I just had to watch them.
And here I am, finished season six and need to wait for season seven.
What am I going to do with my life now? 
Hopefully I'll be getting Netflix tomorrow.
I've heard good things about Breaking Bad...

Hey, if you're into that kind of soap opera, you might like others, like Coronation Street, or Days of Our Lives.
There are enough to keep you bus for several lifetimes.
Damnit!
Now I've got the Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden theme tune stuck in my head!

If you haven't watched it, then you must. Trust me, you'll see. Also, after that there's a spin off called Better Call Saul. It's like a prequel. It's still worth watch Breaking Bad first though.

Fringe was a good series too. If you want to pass the time until GoT comes out.

Just buy the Netflix socks... You know nothing worse than falling asleep while seeing the first season of your favorite series and just wake up at the last 30 seconds of the last season and spoil yourself the worst possible way...

As frightening as it sounds, soon humans will possess the power to create life in new forms, thereby wresting the power of evolution out of the hands of mother nature.
Last year, scientists create babies from skin cells[^], meaning that nearly any part of a life-form contains enough genetic material to essentially clone it.
Then in march of this year, scientists create viable embryos from stem cells[^], which means that once you have genetic information, you can gestate a new life with it.
Couple that with the news from today, Scientists create artificial womb[^], soon they will be able to carry those artificially created embryos through to term.
Couple these new developments with the genetic engineering knowledge of Cargil, Monsanto, and Dow-Chemical and it's not a huge leap to manipulating the DNA of livestock, creating viable embryos, and growing them until birth all without having to wait on live-birth gestation. The implications of this are fascinating and frightening. Not only could they produce livestock in a factory but they could potentially revive extinct species if enough DNA has survived intact. The possible implications to food supply here is noteworthy. The frightening part is that they could create not only designer humans but any designer creature leading to all sort of possible combinations.
Give it ten years with some shady governments in need of money and we just might see genetic R & D far outside the law of most countries.

I was kinda hoping to get my own pet Cerberus out of this new science. Brings a whole new meaning to those "Beware of Dog" signs for your yard.

Sure, but how is this different from the "shotgun genetic engineering" that's been going on for centuries, going on under the name of "breeding"?
Oh, I know!
This way, we've got a better idea of how much damage we're doing to the species we're f**king about with working on!

I won't argue that the implications if they succeed are staggering. I, on the other hand, will speculate that the real bleeding edge breakthroughs are going to happen in places where enforcing international laws is nearly impossible as the research will most definitely be considered illegal and ethically questionable. The money that can be made from absolute genetic control and the ability to manufacture life on industrial scales is to great to ignore.

Farm animals don't have rights, under laws created by other mammals (i.e. us), so "inciting the creation of" human-food creatures may take the onus off of cows, pigs, etc, and create also the distinction between "natural animals", which need to be protected, and "Restaurant-at-the-end-of-the-Universe food."
Sorry, but I can't see this as a bad thing. You have to look at it from a Real Futures(TM) perspective, rather than an "I think..." one.
