The private jet, christened The Demeter, also carried four oblong boxes of dirt, according to her aide, Mr. Renfield. She is expected to land at Dulles shortly after 3:00AM and asked that no photos “be attempted”.

i’m not sure where they live or the laws there, but in Canada if you move out they can claim you abandoned the marital property. i know people still living together 3 years into a really nasty divorce due to this problem. it is really dangerous considering under normal circumstances emotions are running high, but i…

Dems not holding her accountable and saying she needs to resign immediately is just another tick in the box for “why Dems are so goddamn shitty at actually winning in government despite being the better of the two parties”

Repubs would gladly drive over her in a monster truck with their own children if it meant they…

Sadly, nope, you can’t legally call him that (I mean, you can, but the press and other public figures cannot). This was a civil trial, and the jury found that he was not liable for rape. He was found liable for sexual assault, though.

We dont have to click the link about goopys sex life to learn about it...its on every fucking landing page of every fucking media site, thefore the knowledge of it, even the bare minimum of awareness of it, can’t be avoided. At some point when I am scanning CNN, I’m going to unwillingly read a headline about…

Huh. It had never actually occurred to me that this show had writers.

“Wishing her the smoothest brain”

I want to visit the Iowa at some point. If you’re in San Diego, go visit the Midway if you haven’t already.

Completely agree - after the Queen Mary, the United States is probably my favorite liner and it’s a shame how it’s fallen into complete disrepair. My own feeling is that the QM is probably still the more significant ship - even from the perspective of American history, but the SSUS is as much a monument to American…

Jesus, this writing. I came in here to make a pretty milquetoast reaction I had already written in my head (“I’m not exactly an Alec Baldwin fan, but the man has been through some shit, so I’ll give him a pass on this.”). But this kind of column on an easily made mistake (he has seven children under ten and an adult…

I will definitely visit the ship when I go to San Diego in the fall, if it is open for tours. If nothing else I’ll look at it from the outside on my way to tour the Iowa. Seeing two iconic ships in the same harbor is well worth the drive for me.

I think the 40 second delayed response from the termination command is the biggest deal of all of this debacle. That’s a long time to be unresponsive and the FAA isn’t going to just shrug it off the way Musk has.

Every time I’m reading something with a quote from Matty Healy I get a few words in and then my gaze starts to slip because the way he talks is exhausting.

He also met with long-time dirt-bag leftist Noam Chomsky, who had this to say about the child-rapist:

You guys forgot to mention Noam Chomsky, who was at one of the dinners with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi.

It is so gross and hypocritical when women do this. Publicly assess their male exes bedroom styles or techniques.

“ ... and more reactors means more opportunities for error, and more potential targets for bad actors.”

Standardization and volume-manufacturing is the key. Right now, nearly every reactor is different and all start from zero w.r.t. licensing and authorization. That gives every person/organization a hook to slow and or drive up the price of the effort (therefore they can say “it’s too expensive!”).

It should also improve economies of scale if the reactors can be produced in a factory-like environment, they can be made more efficiently. Not sure how small we’re talking, but if they are mass producible, it’ll be great for the economics of the situation. Waste heat however, is a huge environmental load, so that’ll…
