Also news organizations tend not to be as fully staffed over the weekends, giving a high profile story perhaps not as comprehensive coverage it deserves.

People accused of child abuse should continue to have unsupervised visits with their children. People accused of animal abuse should continue to own and care for their pets and livestock. People accused of terrorism should have access to freely purchase and own weapons. People accused of crimes but deemed flight risks…

So you’re ok with an irresponsible, accused felon keeping and using firearms. That’s a courageous stand there.

Shit like this should be cause to force him to surrender whatever firearms he owns. If he can’t responsibly operate a motor vehicle without intentionally using it to hurt others, he shouldn’t have a firearm.

I expect that at this point somebody sat Linton down and explained her how to be a proper trophy wife:

Sadly, it looks like the interactive version of this music video hosted on Tumblr is gone. The Tumblr page contained code that let you play part of a video game with the music video embedded underneath. It was really, really cool. The video is neat on its own, though. If anybody finds another version of the…

As IAmNotSoAmused observed, 46% of America didn’t vote for this guy. What is scary is that Trump has “the balls” to say publicly what that small percentage of Americans who voted for him say privately. It is their id — naked and unabashed. What’s frightening is that so many Americans look to Trump as their model who…

Beautifully simple and elegant rebut.

I’ll also throw into the mix that the Hunley crew was in a sealed chamber. Though it doesn’t address the 60ms vs 10ms difference, it speaks to lethality. In a closed chamber the shockwave bounces and echoes in the space. A grim detail I learned while reading about bombings on Israeli buses in the 90's and 00's was…

One thing that came to mind in reading the article, considering this would be the dawn of submarine warfare, was whether or not the designers, commanders and crew understood in some form how a shockwave propegates differently in water versus air.

We aren’t at lawsuit level, yet. Just cease and desist letters which still name counsel and who that counsel represents. It is still regarded as a nominally private matter between parties, but there really isn’t anything about those letters that prohibits public release. Although they could, Jez isn’t naming the…

Looks like it is a piece of clear plastic held in place away from the white board at those two black blocks. h/t to stre for figuring it out.

Looks like it’s a plastic sheet suspended away from the white board at those two black blocks. h/t to stre for figuring it out.

I looked at it another dozen times or so and I think you got it. The plastic sheet seems to be held in place at those two black squares (cubes, actually) that are thinner than the marble is wide. So the entire space between those cubes is too narrow for the marble to fall through, and since the plastic is flexible, it…

GOD DAMN IT!! The kidnapped sex slave children are on a base on Mars, NOT THE MOON! Will you please get your facts straight? You discredit yourselves and other media outlets when you purposefully misrepresent the facts. Damn, MSM.

Can anyone explain what was happening on the flip side of the white board, starting at 1:10 when the marble is sent spinning and... hovering(?) on that white pad.

The next reisgnation will include a video in which the person quitting will read their resignation letter while blinking I-M-P-E-A-C-H in morse code.

Touché. How did I miss that one?

Neat. That pretty much sums up my spice rack and I never gave it much thought beyond “what do I use most?”. I keep rosemary around because I like it. I also keep two jars of random herb/spice blends. There are several brands in my area that sell prepackaged blends without salt. I just buy different baggies at random…

I think it is also something about violating barriers. It’s a form of projecting power over rules and authority.
