More hurry up and wait this morning. Sleep depravation last night, woken up super early, now the internet connection, though visible, shows "no internet connection" on connecting to it. There's also been some blatant passive aggressive intimidation from large butch middle aged women. Both incidents are clearly meant to be linked. Just another day living as a foreigner in Vietnam. #

Online but wondering - I got the internet connection working by turning the VPN off and on again. Still very unusual though. Two days in a row, and still why the passive aggressive intimidation? #

Hundreds Of Stars Have Vanished Without A Trace. Where Did They Go? - There's a theory that if there are very advanced alien civilisations out there, they might have created Dyson spheres. That's the name given to a theoretical future technology that would enable to completely surround a star with solar panels in order to harnass it's energy. Since they completly surround a star, Dyson spheres would result in stars suddenly disapearing from our view of the night sky. I don't like the sound of Dyson spheres. Imagine if stars have some form of consciousness that we haven't detected yet, surrounding them like that would be a truely horrible thing to do. Fucking horrible name too, at least if you are from planet Earth. Makes you wonder what's up with space scientists, don't you think? www.iflscience.com #
