Quote I “The family is horrified at the fact that throughout this process, they’ve been kept in the dark by the prosecution,” Maurica Manyan family attorney Chelsea Lewis said.
Quote II “We don’t need to be searching for viruses that may never interact with man. And it’s worse than that. They bring viruses that we may never interact with, they bring them back to the lab, but then they manipulate them by combining them with other viruses to create viruses that don’t exist in nature,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
Quote III Our troops want to be part of a winning organization. I was in the Gulf War, and I gotta say, it felt pretty awesome even though I basically ran a heavily armed carwash. But we knew we were the best, not because of officers mouthing endless clichés about “lethality” and “readiness” but because we knew what we could do. We need that winning attitude back. We need our military to earn once again the respect of the American people such that young Americans are ready to serve in adequate numbers. Kurt Schlichter

Earlier this month, Amazon locked a man out of his account, disrupting his extensive smart home system. The suspension was driven by a delivery driver who claimed the man used a racial slur through his automated doorbell system. The only problem is that the man captured the entire interaction on his security system — the communication to the worker was an automated greeting of, “Excuse me, can I help you?” In a post to Medium, Brandon Jackson outlined how his smart home system was disrupted by a week-long lockout from his Amazon account.

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth thinks that right-wing rhetoric critical of the military is making our military weaker. The Army's top civilian leader pushed back amid Republican criticisms that the military is going too "woke," arguing such critiques are deepening an already troubling recruiting crisis.

Yeah, that must be it. The damn conservatives criticizing our flaming rainbow military is what's keeping recruits away.

Saw them (for real) in high school, somewhere around '71-'72. Took a date, a girl from the Saturday morning high school-age league, so not in my high school. Whoever the lead singer was/is, Burton?, he was quite vulgar. Considering their songs on the radio, that was very much a surprise. At one point, the lead singer was twirling his flute, talking to the crowd, when he said something along the lines of 'girls like to play with my flute' while he twirled it so that it stuck out from his crotch. I was mortified. First (and last) date and all that.

They give their lives, we give them drag queens for their children at the base library; they live in substandard housing that was well maintained by post maintenance in the old days that was turned over to "private contractors" who can't even keep black mold and rats out of them, they are forced to be human guinea pigs for any and all crackpot "vaccines" (that includes spouses and children), they all receive receive substandard medical care from people who aren't Americans and aren't even educated to US medical standards.

Stupid comment by yet another beltway asshole. The DOD knows why people join the military. They've tracked this since vietnam. Our leadership since Obama (PDT excluded) has slowly trashed he incentives for enlisting and openly mock the values and virtues of military service. Blaming one political party for recruiting failure is just one more manifestation of their arrogance and stupidity.

It is written that the end in that case, is first the near-instant compression of the air in the hull, causing it to actually ignite, just as would a diesel engine.
So, a nanosecond before you're crushed into a beer-can sized gelatinous blob, you're Flash Roasted before the water hammer makes a car crusher look merciful, in comparison.
But, it's all over in a tenth of a second, or less. Once it happens. it's the dreading that it's going to happen that would be the real pain. When it does happen, yer dead before you even know it's happen-ING.

We lived in on-base housing at Offutt (vastly superior as it was an AF base), and we still heard stories from those who lived in the off-base base housing (yes, you read that correctly) that was quite a bit older. We rarely were directly affected, except the one time that Pooky got called in the middle of the night Japan time. The housing company tried to chew him out for not mowing the lawn, and he pointed out that we had been gone for more than 30 days (and had informed them as such), and their threat to tell his commander that he hadn't mowed his lawn would only remind the commander that Pooky's unit needed to include our house on the lawn-mowing list. We didn't hear from them again on the issue.

B) As a retired hardware electronic designer, I don't trust software, never did. The crap has gotten so complicated that, 95% of the time, the "coders" (not software engineers) have no idea of what it's doing. If I had a Smart Home (but I'm smarter than that. :-) ), I would have hardware hacks around every switch and control.
Now, on top of the incompetence issue, you have to worry about typical leftist prejudice and arrogance of the average software weenie as to whether your smart home will operate as you paid for. He needs to sue. Negative feedback is required.
In this country, anyone can sue anyone for anything. Is this a great country or what?

I apologize for how that came out - I was born in '61, my father was in R.O.T.C. and when he graduated he began a twenty year career in the Army. He retired when I was 24 and then spent another twenty years as a bank Sr. Auditor. He died last year after a fall. He was the most upright man I will ever know, as an Officer he had great concern and compassion for the men he served with. He earned a Bronze Star for Merit in South Vietnam for doing the thankless task of being the AG Captain for the 1st Cav who gets the call at 2:00 a.m with a request to send specific people into combat. He never minded when people called him a REMF because both bases he was stationed at in 1969 were heavily shelled.

But they have several ways to pop to the surface, which all seem to have failed. So they must be ... hung up somehow. (stray fishing net was suggested as a possible problem, but rare in that area)

Well, Congresscritters pulling out a sidearm and shooting witnesses that piss them off, while popular in some quarters (depending on the witness), it's really not what I want in/from my Government.
I honestly feel at some point fairly soon there will be a preference cascade in Congress for impeachment. For Republicans, while Biden's impeachment is completely warranted, the 'laughing for no reason' follow-up is not much better. For Dems, impeaching Joey Choo-Choo would clear the decks for whomever the DNC deems to be the next candidate. And it won't be Kamalalaladingdong. She'll get her 'historic firsts', then get kicked to the curb in order to run someone viable.

"USS Squalus (SS-192), a diesel-electric submarine built at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire and commissioned there on 1 March 1939, suffered a catastrophic valve failure during a test dive off the Isle of Shoals at 0740 on 23 May. Partially flooded, the submarine sank to the bottom and came to rest keel down in 40 fathoms (240 feet) of water."
There was at least one MOH awarded for the rescue effort.

While aboard ship, he sang and entertained members on board. This resulted in the captain blocking his transfer to another ship—hence saving his life, as the other ship later sank with all hands lost.

All future U.S. dot-mil tactical aircraft, should be equipped with a man-rated R2-D2 type "pod" installation behind the cockpit. Or, just be two seaters, in general. But in this case, the GIB has no tactical or operational nor piloting duties, at all. Give him an altimeter and artificial horizon, just for entertainment.
But, that seat IS TO BE FILLED by a Senior Executive or Department Head of the defense contractor that made the plane.
Every plane, every mission. They can fly in "rotation", but someone from Lock-Mart, senior from a shop foreman, IS going to be on board during each and every live combat mission.

When they had lost communications on a previous dive, well it is a bit more complicated and terrifying to learn the rest of the story.
The surface ship gives the sub its directions to the wreckage. There is nothing aboard the sub to find the sunken ship. So for over two hours that sub was lost underwater.
Failure to resurface after this loss of communications and about two hours in, means the submersible was close to the bottom and probably bad things have already happened.

Bummer JQ. Get that okra in first chance you get. I'll bet you'll get some pods before it gets too cool. I'm pulling for you, and your Clempson Spineless.

Seeing the Midnight Sun is on my bucket list. Don't know if I'll make it, or be in good enough shape to stand such a trek. But I'd like to see it.

tcn, I am glad to hear that he is doing better, prayers for complete healing.
Hi JQ, Sorry that I missed you last night. I have got some early morning agenda items tomorrow, I am headed to bed. Good to see you, though.

Had a hankerin' for fried okra a while back so looked for some frozen at the grocery. None! They usually carry it, so hoping it's merely a supply issue rather than discontinued merch.

Last year, there were a bunch of cattle killed about this time of year. It was one of those. Nightime. Very rapid rise in temperature exceeding 100F.

During one of those heat bursts, temperature has been seen to rise as much as 18F in a couple of minutes.
They are rare. But they happen.

We're in an ice age here long term, and the current holocene period is just a nice warmer period of that.

Ah, dishwashing liquid (hand wash liquid) got into the washer somehow. I had it happen once when I had a solution of the soap and some vinegar in a bowl, and like a dumbass did not rinse the bowl thoroughly when I put it into the dishwasher. Complete mess. Took several cycles to get the damn stuff out. Dishwashers are VERY efficient at making suds.
Thanks for the ONT.

My weekend was actually five days, Thursday and Friday being vacation days. Got a lot done, the car's oil changed, grocery shopping, edits to a manuscript, working out, having breakfast at my favorite coffee shop and grill. And naps. End result? I don't wanna go back to the office. Retirement is looking better and better.

Where I live now there is no DUI for non-motorized vehicles, including animals; and there is no 'drunk in public', either! That one surprised me. To get arrested in public you have to do something else, there's no 'drunk and disorderly', only disorderly.
So in Wisconsin, feel free to careen through the streets drunkenly riding your Shetland pony.

Is it possible that ice ages are the norm (outside the tropics) for this planet at this distance from this yellow sun, and warm spells are the aberration? And what were the tropics like during the worst of the ice ages -- were they temperate zones?

His dad, though, that was hilarious. He came home and handed his dad the ticket.

No, childhood friend. Hillbillies/rednecks up the street. For REAL mayhem, at 11 years old I saved my pennies and ordered up 'The Improvised Munitions Handbook', intercepted it before my parents got the mail and kept it hidden. I'm pretty astonished we survived that!
The first thing I did was build a pistol from 1/4" pipe and load it with .22 powershots and ball bearings glued to the crimp.

Such is an interesting question, and far beyond my understanding to offer anything. All I can say is see "Milankovich cycles", orbital wig-woggling of the Erf that happen over 100,000 yr time scales.
Long term climate variation is tied to that, but there are all sorts of "stochastic" variation to that. Very long term, millions to hundreds of millions of year cycles may be correlated with the Solar System's complex orbit through the Milky Way.
Right now, the Erf's axial tilt is on a decreasing leg of that cycle, and the Erf's eccentricity is decreasing. That is, the seasons are getting less extreme and the earth's orbit is getting more circular. The length of the tropical year is decreasing.
These cycles happen over 100,000 year periods.

Consider where were are now in those Milanlovich cycles. Perihelion occurs close to the winter solstice, and aphelion occurs close to the summer solstice. Factor eccentricity in, and this means the summer and spring are the longest seasons, and winter and fall are the shortest (by a little bit, you can look up all that to see the details).
Apisidial precession couples with axial precession is pushing perihelion westward. Around the year 5000 - 6000, perihelion will occur at the spring equinox.
Now, couple that with tectonic plate movement. At the moment, there is more land mass in the northern hemisphere.
All that complex dance has to do with long term climate variation. We've only begun to scratch the surface in understanding of that.
