If a strawberry is picked and goes to the event horizon, if time stops is the strawberry happy?

I took this photo the other day whilst on Ben Nevis. People seem to like it on Instagram. What do Twitter folk think? The two climbers seem to be having a nice chat before finishing their route.

Out with the Junior Team this afternoon. Some great jamming and Laybacking from Child 1.

@MicGrumpy Just couldn't squeeze it into my pack...

Just back from my Winter ML Assessment in the Cairngorms.
Lots of sliding, digging, walking, navigating, snow holing and 7hrs of night navigation.

Very useful to have 3… https://t.co/OkWvD6g6Nh

[Jim Walton @JimwaltonMIA]

Final day out before my Winter ML Assessment starts tomorrow.
I'll do what I do, I won't try anything new.
I'll keep me safe and I'll keep my fellow assessed safe.
I'll enjoy… https://t.co/mBoKdZnTMz

@UniversalQandA
When you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, what are you pondering?

[Jim Walton @JimwaltonMIA]

@UniversalQandA
Asking for a friend.
Explain how a Newton cradle works. 1 ball dropped transfers energy through all balls and last balls moves up .F=ma.
If I pick up 2 balls up and release them, is it possible for just the last ball to move but faster? Yet it's always boring 2
