You can always say that the debrief has been relocated and that's why we can't observe it.

You might have noticed that the latest phys frame was onged one hour late. That's because at ong time there was no electricity here, so nothing could be done.

tomorrow I will go to the sea for one week.

So if something happens with the bicyclesonthemoon.info server in the meantime I will not be able to do anything with it until next week.
Also, I think it's time to add phys to the wiki.
Tried to do it but wiki edit wasn't cooperating well.

Because like we all know dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2 (x÷½ = x×2).
