With the amount of Christmas parties and drinks taking place over the next couple of weeks, what better way to get rid of the next day hangxiety than binge-watching a new Netflix series?

And a good place to look if you don’t even know where to start is social media, with Netflix users constantly speaking about what they are currently watching.

The current talk of the town is Black Doves – a British spy thriller staring the likes of Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire.

Helen (Knightley), the wife of the Secretary of State for Defence, quickly discovers that her identity as a Black Dove is in jeopardy after her lover is killed by London’s underworld.

With the help from an old friend, Helen finds things incredibly difficult in this new thriller series, but with the extra help, things may not be as bumpy.

One Netflix subscriber took to Twitter and wrote: “Goddddd BLACK DOVES is 10/10. And even with 6 episodes it still feels like a completely fleshed out show with world building and real characters, quick-witted dialogue AND gay stuff! What more could you want from a series? Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw you will ALWAYS be famous.”

A second added: “Impressed by Netflix casually dropping the ridiculously entertaining #BlackDoves at the end of the year without much fanfare as if it wasn’t an absolute triumph. People are going to be quoting the dialogue for years.”

Meanwhile, a third remarked: “Just finished binge watching Black Doves on Netflix. It was really good. Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Andrew Koji carried.”

Black Doves sits at a hugely impressive 98 percent Rotten Tomatoes score following its release on Netflix earlier this week.

Rebecca Nicholson, from the Guardian, penned in her review: “Inevitably, this will earn comparisons to the other big spy shows of the year. It isn’t as composed or as witty as Slow Horses, and not as self-serious as The Day of the Jackal, but in among the chaos, it finds its own voice.”

59-year-old Rudiger Koch is currently living in a submerged capsule off the coast of Panama, having started his challenge on September 26.

He’s now around half-way through his challenge and hopes to make it to 120 days, meaning he’ll resume his normal life on January 24.

The current Guinness World Record for longest time spent living in an underwater fixed habitat is held by US native Joseph Dituri.

Dituri lived in a capsule just off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, last year for 100 days.

But Koch wants to beat this and plans on remaining submerged in his 322-square-foot living space for 120 days, taking him through to the New Year.

He has everything he needs in there: a bed, toilet, TV, computer, an exercise bike and internet.

Koch is missing a proper shower, however.

He has access to the rest of his team via a vertical tube that’s connected from his capsule to another chamber perched above the waves. From this, he receives food and curious journalists have been sent down to visit him.

His wife and kids have also been visiting him while he undertakes the unusual challenge.

Speaking about what it’s like living down there, Koch told AFP: “In the night, you can hear all the crustaceans.

“There’s the fish out there, and there’s all that stuff, and that wasn’t here before we came.”

In addition to breaking the current Guinness World Record, Koch hopes that his test could make waves elsewhere.

“Moving out to the ocean is something we should do as a species,” he said.

“What we are trying to do here is prove that the seas are actually a viable environment for human expansion.”

While some people would get cabin fever from being in a small space for such a long period of time, Koch insists he doesn’t mind his current living arrangements.

“I don’t feel like I’m suffering down here, not at all,” Koch said.

“That hardest is probably, sometimes I would like to go diving.”

Four cameras are monitoring Koch while he’s submerged which will act as evidence to prove how long he’s been down there, as well as give his team the chance to monitor his health.

As to what Koch is going to do when he resurfaces next month, he says his first port of call will be getting a ‘real shower’.

Back in 2020, Bridger Walker, six at the time, jumped in front of a German Shepard after the dog lunged at them while at a friend’s house in Wyoming.

The child was left needing 90 stitches to repair the damage done to his face, a procedure that involved him being in surgery for two hours.

Explaining what he did that horrible day, Bridger said ‘If someone had to die, I thought it should be me’.

Speaking about the incident a year on, Bridger’s dad, Robert Walker, told People in 2021 how his son very much stood by those strong words.

He said: “My wife and I asked him, ‘Do you want it to go away?’ And he said, ‘I don’t want it to go all the way away,'” the father of five says. “Bridger views his scar as something to be proud of, but he also doesn’t see it as being representative of his brave act. He just perceives it as, ‘I was a brother and that’s what brothers do.’ It’s a reminder that his sister didn’t get hurt, and that she is okay.

“It almost bothers him sometimes when he’s called a hero, because he [thinks], ‘Maybe I could have done more to shield her’.”

The boy has been hailed a hero online, with his story recirculating on Reddit recently.

“Well done little man, braver than a lot of people at such a young age…” one person said.

A second added: “This lil hero better get everything from his Christmas list this year.”

Bridger’s story also garnered praise from many celebrities, including the likes of Anne Hathaway, Chris Evans, and Tom Holland.

The latter even said he would invite the boy onto the set of Spider-man: No Way Home, and he kept to his promise.

Robert took to Instagram and penned: “Remember when @tomholland2013 promised Bridger he could come to the filming of Spider-Man? He delivered!

“When we first arrived on set, I was a little apprehensive that once the ‘curtain was pulled back’ that the magic of the movies would be lost for the kids.

“The opposite was true! Tom, Zendaya, Harry, @lifeisaloha, @tonyrevolori, and the entire cast/crew made our kids feel like stars. They don’t just act the part of friendly neighborhood heroes – that’s what they truly are.”

With some tech fanatics trying to stay up to date with all the latest gifts and gadgets, some products end up getting returned and YouTuber Harrison Nevel decided to try and take advantage of this.

Nevel took to YouTube last year to reveal that he’d sourced various Apple products that had been returned, splashing $4,595 on products he claimed to be worth nearly $10,000.

Taking a quick peek of them out of the boxes, YouTuber decided to take them all to a pawn shop in an attempt to sell them and make a profit, seeing ‘how much money we potentially made or lost’.

The YouTuber discovered that many iPads were in the boxes of different generations.

“We have five of them that are worth $600 new, now I would be happy if we could maybe pull half of that, maybe a little less than half out of that, so we’re talking maybe $200 to $300 a piece because we can get $200 of each of these – that’s $11,000 right there,” he explained in the video.

With all that tech in hand, Nevel was feeling confident he’d been able to make a sizeable profit.

As the Apple products are not in a great working order, Nevel began by disappointingly only getting $80 for two of them at a pawn shop.

Another iPad was locked, so the shop refused to buy it altogether unless it could be unlocked.

Meanwhile, Nevel also attempted to use an automatic device seller to shift the iPad.

The result? $35; the YouTuber decided to decline.

In the end, Nevel made $3,750 from the unwanted Apple products, but that is, of course, far less than what it paid for it – a whopping $845 less to be precise.

Many viewers have flocked to the comments section, with the vast majority surprised at the money Nevel made.

“$80 for an iPad?! That’s an insane low ball offer I would have refused,” one person commented, while a second added: “Dang wasn’t expecting that much in the red.”

Apparently, the former heavyweight champion had a promotional deal with Medier, a Cyprus-registered company that promotes online casino and betting company Rabona, but Tyson is said to have failed to hold up his end on the bargain in favor of fighting Jake Paul.

In the suit, which was filed in London in October, Medier say Tyson and his company Tyrannic terminated the January agreement they’d made on the day the Netflix special was announced in March.

It was alleged that Medier breached the agreement, which lead to Tyson ending it.

The gambling company has denied any wrongdoing though, and said that its actions did not constitute a breach of the deal, USA Today reports.

Medier claim that Tyson’s actions have cost it around 1.46 million euros ($1.59 million).

“The true reason for Mr Tyson and Tyrannic’s hasty and unlawful termination was because Mr Tyson had agreed a deal, sponsored by Netflix, to fight the influencer Jake Paul,” the company’s lawyer said in documents made public on Friday (December 6).

It isn’t thought that Tyson and Tyrannic have yet filed a defence to the lawsuit, but Tyson’s representatives have released a statement to The New York Post.

“It is the company’s position that Medier, Ltd. materially breached the terms of its license agreement on multiple occasions and in various ways,” it said.

“As such, Tyrannic, LLC was well within its legal and contractual rights to terminate the license agreement for material breach in an effort to mitigate additional reputational harm to the Tyson brand.”

UNILAD have also approached Tyson’s reps for comment.

Tyson and Jake Paul went head-to-head on November 16, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer proving victorious against the boxing legend.

The eight-round fight, which took place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and was streamed on Netflix, was scored 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in favour of Paul.

Despite the defeat, Tyson, 58, said he’s not opposed to returning to the ring.

Speaking to Netflix after the bout, Tyson left the window open for future fights.

Asked if it was the last time he would be seen in a ring, Tyson said: “I don’t know. It depends on the situation.”

“I don’t think so,” he added.

In fact, he went on to challenge Paul’s older brother Logan – and he seemed to be game.

“You got more in you, who crosses the mind?” Tyson was asked.

Pointing at Logan, he replied: “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe his brother.”

Logan went on to say that he’d ‘kill’ the boxing legend in what appeared to be a roundabout way of accepting the challenge…

There are over 40,000 airports across the globe, with the likes of Canada, the UK, Russia, and Germany having some of the most.

One of the most remote airports on the planet is Mataveri International Airport, located on Easter Island in Chile.

But another extremely remote airfield is located in Brazil, and it’s surrounded with nothing but jungle.

The isolated runway is by the Aripuana River, which sits in in the Mato Grosso and Amazonas states in north-western Brazil.

A Google Maps screenshot of the unusually-placed airfield was recently shared on Reddit, and people were baffled.

Sharing the snap, a Redditor pondered who would use such a runway.

“A pilot,” one person quipped in response.

“A narco smuggler,” suggested a second, and dozens of others echoed similar sentiments.

Someone else wrote: “My guess is if you panned out you would see the river breaking off into many smaller ones.

“Think of this as an Amazon hub for the Amazon. From this strip they can deliver goods to hundreds of small villages.”

Arauazinho Village and Nova Olinda are some examples of two villages that are located by the Aripuana River.

Another person suggested that it could be an ideal landing spot for someone with a small plane.

They added: “These are not uncommon in the slightest for general aviation pilots who own both a large tract of land and a plane. A dirt or grass strip is almost free to build.”

The runway in question is believed to be that of Aripuana Airport and is 1,300 meters long.

This is substantially smaller than your average airport’s runway, which typically ranges between 2,438 and 3,962 meters, says Stantec.

Smaller airports like Aripuana’s might have runways that are more like 1,500 meters, however.

While this airport’s runway is pretty short, there’s an even shorter one at Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport in the Caribbean Netherlands.

This particular runway is only 400 meters long and, with this in mind, can only welcome smaller aircrafts to land there; a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, for example, which seats between 18 and 20 passengers, Metro Online reports.

The rapper has made multiple references to the Superman actor in his music, using his name as a lyric before throwing in various disses and criticisms of the Hollywood star.

One such diss came in Eminem’s 2009 song ‘Medicine Ball’, in which he says: “Put Christopher Reeve on a unicycle with a kickstand, kick it up and push him and lead him right into quicksand / Here, you need a hand, big man?”

Eminem also mimics Reeve’s voice in the song, before saying: “Always hated you, and I still do.”

Other references Eminem has made to Reeve come in tracks such as ‘Purple Pills’, ‘Who Knew’, and ‘My 1st Single’.

The rapper has made no less than 44 references to Reeve in his various tracks, prompting some of his fans to share theories as to why he apparently had such a fascination with the actor, who died in 2004.

Taking to Reddit to share their thoughts, one person wrote: “I think he just likes how the name sounds.”

Another even suggested Reeve had taken drastic measures to avoid being dissed by Eminem, saying: “The beef went so far Christopher Reeve died on purpose, just so Eminem couldn’t release a diss track against him.”

That theory is obviously pretty far-fetched, so let’s hear what Eminem himself has had to say on the matter.

Acknowledging his repeated references to Reeve, Eminem explained that he didn’t actually have a grudge against the actor; his references simply stemmed from a childhood memory of him.

In his 2004 track ‘Rain Man’, Eminem explains: “And let’s clear this up too; I ain’t got no beef with him either.

“He used to be like a hero to me, I even believe I had one of those 25-cent stickers on my refrigerator, right next to Darth Vader.”

So it turns out Reeve was a hero to Eminem as well as so many other Superman fans, but that hasn’t stopped Eminem from using his name as a lyric, even after the actor’s death.

However, after the release of ‘Medicine Ball’ in 2009, Eminem indicated in a freestyle rap that he didn’t realize Reeve had died when he released the song.

He rapped: “I need Christopher Reeve to come and lay his verse / I think he can spit it better on Medicine Ball, first / Off, I did not even realize the guy died / So I guess them Christopher Reeve jokes ain’t gonna fly.”

Back in 2013, Isaac Miller took to YouTube to celebrate Bitcoin hitting a new high of $100 at market summary, four years on from the cryptocurrency being launched.

There’s limited data about Bitcoin about its first year, but it’s said that by 2010, it was worth $0.40 per coin.

Fast forward to June 2011, and it hit almost $30, BankRate reports, which seemed somewhat impossible.

It quickly crashed though and finished the year at $4.20.

It was in April 2013 that it hit new highs and surpassed $100 – a moment Isaac documented in a video.

“Bitcoin is now up to $111. It’s an all time high and it’s continuing to rise.

“I’ve seen it break three times today and it went up to $110, and this is the highest that its been. It’s ridiculous.”

And Isaac, an original Bitcoin investor, was right when he said it was continuing to rise as just a few days later it peaked at $230.

But these figures are now pocket change for those who have held onto their Bitcoin cryptocurrency over the years as it recently hit a whopping $100,000.

To mark the momentous occasion, Isaac reenacted his viral video almost word-for-word, but said $100,000 instead of $110.

The original clip has garnered more than 5.5 million views in the three years since it was posted to YouTube.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s market summary is at just over $99,750.

People have since reacted to Isaac’s new video, and it’s safe to say people are loving it – particularly when it’s shown side-by-side with his 2013 clip.

“From $100 to $100k. What a legend,” one person said.

Another added: “Lmao classic, at least I was here for this one. See yall at $1,000,000!”

A third went on: “History in the making! Let’s come back here when we hit 250K, 500k and 1 million!”

While it seems like a hefty figure to achieve, some financial experts have predicted that Bitcoin could be worth an eye-watering $1.5 million by 2030.

As per Fortune, last year Ark Invest made its hopes clear about the cryptocurrency and even said that it ‘could be the most compelling monetary asset since gold’.

Part of its 2023 report read: “We believe Bitcoin’s long-term opportunity is strengthening.

“Despite a turbulent year, Bitcoin has not skipped a beat. Its network fundamentals have strengthened and its holder base has become more long-term focused. Contagion caused by centralized counterparties has elevated Bitcoin’s value propositions: decentralization, auditability, and transparency.

“The price of one Bitcoin could exceed $1 million in the next decade.”
