>Alaskan state officials say that the baby is eligible for American citizenship even though it was born in the air. In fact, according to authorities, the baby would have been eligible for citizenship even if it had been born in international airspace, just as long as America was the first place the baby arrived.

Coming over to give birth is typical for pregnant women from Taiwan and China. There were special “birthing and recuperating” centers (basically maternity hotels) in LA area setup for such moms. There’s a special name: Maternity Tourism, and it’s accounting for possibly more than 10% of children born to foreign…

For a moment I thought I was watching an ad for “The Crew” game.

“Altar”, TR. Not “alter”.

It seems to be much easier to do a “dual cannon” based on the old 40mm Bofors design rather than a rotating tri barrel. The reason you want to rotate is for rapid fire (so one tube can eject, and the other can load, while being cooled, and the third tube shoots). Those barrels look like they are larger than 120mm,…

Given that it’s contemporary with a regular hatchback, it’s clearly “not too distant future” on an Earth-like society, and equivalent to 20th/21st century tech level.

Some general comments...

What’d be REALLY interesting is some sort of in-game overlay that lets you enter free-form notes... Or checklists. Hey! Skyrim modders, get to work! :D

Not enough treads for the ground pressure. (Which is why a super-heavy quad “walker” probably will not work) Though the “3-barrel main gun” looks cool (but not very practical, recoil and ammo capacity problems)

I think the Papa John couple got Papa John confused with Papa Murphy’s (who are indeed take and bake).

That one op-ed can prompt such drastic retaliation also means that censorship is never dead, just morphed under different pretenses. In authoritarian countries it’s “for the state”. In “democratic” countries it’s “for the (oppressed) people (so we can be politically correct)“.

Or did someone prank Walmart?

Not quite Amazon, but Boingboing’s store has the Exomount Touch, which is a side-grip-only smartphone mount (much like the Renu Airframe) but with the one-touch release mechanism like the iOttie OneTouch, and it’s only $20. And if you order now shipping’s free.

It’s down to $2

I have no problem with Vincent Kapoor being played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. He *could* have been half-black half-Indian.

Something’s wrong down under in their eye drop bottle design... or superglue bottle design.
