So, as FB is broken and some functions can be done better through browser, rather than the mobile app, I saw a strange thing today.

Past couple of days, I received emails with six number codes to verify me. I didn't make the prompts.

Today, I tried to use mobile browser from my phone and while I run Android, FB app showed that the prompt was sent from a Linux system from a town 30 Kms from where I am now. It seems strange, the GPS not locating me properly could be understood, but what lights the red light in my brain is the different OS, as FB tends to be quite punctual on this.

Anyone knows what this shit is about?

Any help appreciated!

Hi, I myself went to Uni to study philosophy and religionistics - far from studying physics for sure, but through my passion for astrophysics, I attended, back when I was in Grammar school, to an extra curriculum course, which spanned two years, at the Prague Stefanik's observatory.

Astrophysics and cosmology were my favourite fields and since I met very interesting tutors with whom I stayed in touch, I was able to keep my finger on pulse in their fields - LIGO, JWST observations.

Then again, in the current informational climate, I find it hard to keep up with the new things - and since seeing Oppenheimer, I also realised that some things we take for granted, or some paradoxes that still lack explanation, are a century old stuff - quite wild if you ask me.

I also find the plethora of popularisational material confusing. While PBS Space Time (correct me if I am wrong) is not necessarily sensationalist, they take all papers on face value and to fill their weekly video quota, they take speculative theories to a 20 minute video, which doesn't really say how speculative some claims may be.

What I wanted to ask is what is currently the bleeding edge of scientific research, with regard to astrophysical cosmology and quantum physics?

Thanks in advance for your reply and have a nice day! :)

Dobroho, I think for the sake of clarity and since I know English better than Ukrainian, I would like to ask for a clarification about the collaboration between АТБ market and GSC on the Stalker Almanach.

Since I am coming to Lviv tomorrow and learning that said Almanach went out a week ago, I thought this would a sweet souvenir from my visit.

However, If I am correct, these almanachs are not available due to high demand? Are at least the cards to it available? And are the almanacs truly sold out? And if so, could I buy one from someone, who might have one extra? The re-sellers on eBay are already pumping the price through the roof.

Sure, if none of these possibilities are available, I'll buy a different book to be part of my growing library of Ukrainian literature (and next on my "to-read") book pile. If that's the case, would anyone have a tip for some hard-boiled, cyberpunk genre book?
