Tyson Fury Fight

I watched the Tyson Fury Fight last night, he won on points. Both boxers managed to avoid a knockout loss. It was on netflix so I thought I would watch it after the flight 3054 documentary series. I think boxing at that level is very difficult because they have to move a lot to stop their brain being dislodged in their skull and they have to keep going even when they're tired. I thought it is Ironic that the one person that understands the most what they're  going through is the opponent. Maybe that is why they hug when the match is over. 
As for the flight 3054 documentary, they established the cause of the air crash so the series was all about how they figured out who was to blame. It was set up as a mystery with the truth that slowly emerged piece by piece. It was partly pilot error, partly airport infrastructure and partly the airlines fault. I didn't know that the reverse thruster controls work differently on different planes and there should have been an alarm to draw attention to one fruster in climb and one in brake mode. The runway was still being resurfaced and didn't have rain grooves installed yet so the runway itself was also too slippery. The blame was shared by many. Netflix has many true life mysteries like that and they're very interesting. The default language for the documentary is Portuguese because it was a Brazilian crisis. 

All this happened just after the splashdown when the four Artemis astronauts returned to earth after going around the far side of the moon. 

Interesting  times we live in.

Nachos and Netflix

Nachos taste much nicer when the cheese sauce is hot. There is a new cinema in my town that serves natchos with heated cheese sauce in tubs. I hope they keep it that way. I won't name any cinemas because I don't want to have a negative effect on any business. Cinemas are still relevent today, you can get a membership card and see unlimited movies like on netflix, plus you get a giant screen and powerful surround sound that is too powerful  for homes. Cinemas are still cool, especially if the natcho cheese sauce is heated, I think it smells more and that makes it taste better. 
The problem with cinemas is they don't play a lot of documentaries. That's where netflix comes in, it is crammed with documentary box sets. 
The other good thing about cinemas is you can take your children there and watch cartoon movies with them.

End Of The Year

It is the end of the year and 2024 is just hours away. The weather has been very strange for December, hardly any frost with lots of wind and rain. The temperature was more warm than a typical winter.

During this last week I was watching a temporary series of videos on netflix called 'The Days', it is a drama and accurate reconstruction of the Fuckashima nuclear power station disaster. I remember following the real event on the news back in 2011; there was a large earthquake in Japan followed by a tsunami causing a nuclear power station to be cut off from the Japanese grid and all power sources. The power station eventually failed and poisoned the nearby area. In the netflix series I learned details of the disaster I never knew about, I didn't know some of the crew risked their lives to try and open some valves to release pressure from the reactors. I didn't even know there was 4 reactors in the power station. I also didn't know there was enough radioactive material to make a large portion of Japan uninhabitable for decades in the worst case scenario. 
Most young people I spoke to didn't show much interest in the video series. They couldn't relate to what I was saying. They pretended to show interest to be polite but I could tell it wasn't their cup of tea. 

The Theme for me personally was B.O.B, best of both. There is a milk product I saw in Sainsbury's called B.O.B (best of both), it is high fat milk mixed with low fat milk, you get to enjoy the sweet taste of the high lactose content with a bit less fat. This inspired me to mix drawing tools, I can combine pencil and ink in my sketches. I get the sharp lines from ink with the waxy colours of my coloured pencils. My recent sketches use the best of both. Perhaps I should bring my hand drawings for my cartoon blog into editing software to make it look more like a cartoon strip. Use the best of both for the year aheaad? Maybe I will keep it like that.

Amazon prime on Roku

I am so happy and grateful for internet TV because it can be paused and watched when the time is more convenient. I'm also grateful for self improvement TV shows that are also present on demand because they lift me up and change my attitude.

Today Amazon prime instant video came onto the UK Roku. I was forced to watch Amazon prime on other devices before today. Now I can watch it on the same device I use for other internet TV software

Roku is the same as Now TV box, they are literally the same hardware device but the Now TV box  blocks many channels such as Netflix.
