Heh. When I was around age 5, my father would bring me with him to a downtown recreation center where he played handball.
While I was wandering around outside (kids used to do that in those days), a couple of black "yutes" grabbed me and asked me to give them all my money. I, of course, didn't have any -- but one of them grabbed me by the ankles like that and starting shaking me to see if any coins would fall out of my pockets.
They both got a good laugh out of it while I was terrified and humiliated. Have always had a fear of -- and fought back against -- bullies ever since then.

Yeah, but your bones are hollow and you weigh very little. A cherub, not so much. (Though that may not be true. A cherub might have human-baby form, but it may not mass anywhere near as much.)

Oh, I see. He's marking the cherub, and then will release it, so other scientists can track its movement to study its nature. Like banding birds, or putting tracking stickers on monarch butterflies.

Rep. Dale Strong (R-AL) introduced a bill last Thursday that has thus far been branded the “No Taxpayer Funded Detail for Anthony Fauci” act.
Fauci’s taxpayer-funded detail is estimated to cost the U.S. taxpayer around $1 million dollars per month, according to comparable previous security details. Contrary to popular belief, the “retired” NIAID chief reportedly remains on staff via a no show job at the NIAID, so that he can receive his U.S. Marshals security detail.

Okay, O/T but I found it fascinating. I was wondering if "mass" as in "quantity of matter" or "amount of something" shared a root with "mass" as in "Catholic religious service." I looked it up in my OED and found that the definition was a total of almost 5 full pages (which is a gigantic entry). What I learned I found very interesting.
They do *not* share a common root. "Mass" in the religious sense originally specifically referred to the Eucharist itself, and most likely comes from the Latin missa, which means "dismissal." It refers (probably) to the dismissal of those not entitled to the Eucharist, or the dismissal at the end of the service, or the theological "dismissal" of those things that stand between G-d and man (there is much argument on the topic).

"Mass" in the matter sense is derived from the Greek maza via the Latin masse, which referred to a lump of dough. It came to mean "a bunch of something" - a mass of something. The word's evolution continued into the contemporary scientific meaning of "the amount of matter of which a thing is comprised" only in the, IIRC, 18th century.
"Quantity of matter" is a very new meaning, because there was no need for the distinction between "mass" and "weight" prior to discovery and understanding of gravity. The common scientific usage of the word is a relative latecomer, and it is derived from the non-religious prior sense and has an entirely different root.
The words are perfect homonyms - they are both homographs (spelled the same) and homophones (sound the same) but are entirely different words with different roots and even different mother tongues.

Maybe they can compromise, and appoint Kamala's step daughter. She looks biracial and trans, and supports all the "right" causes:
She is a supporter of LGBT rights, particularly as an advocate for the rights of transgender people. In 2020, she announced she would support the organization For the Gworls, a black, transgender-led collective that fundraises money to help black transgender people pay for rent, gender affirming surgery, travel, and medical care.
Emhoff spoke in the broadcast of the 2020 Democratic National Convention in August 2020.

Decades ago now, my parents bought a nice house from a guy who was born in Belgium. In his little backyard garden was a replica of Manneken Pis. When they sold the place years later we hung onto "Pee-Boy" because it had been a good joke between my dad and my son when he was little.
I transferred it to my sister. He'd gotten a little rough, and his fountain-spout weewee had begun to erode. Sister rebuilt that orifice(!), piped it up to spew properly (she was a pipefitter), and -- recoated the whole damn thing in Italian Restaurant gold. Nice work, too. It is Hideous, and the talk of her neighborhood. Seems like very few people get the Brussels connection.

The dedicated Gun Grabber can go to her grave knowing that she made that "Evil" AR-15 rifle the most popular firearm in the United States of America. Thanks to that ill thought out Clinton Era "assault weapons ban," Americans in unison raised their middle fingers to Washington DC, and preceded to buy, make, and import millions of semiautomatic rifles.
Building and modifying and rebuilding your own AR patterned rifle became a rite of passage for freedom loving Americans. We took a standard.223 caliber rifle, and invented a bunch of new rifle rounds like .300 Blackout, .338 Lapua, and a dozen more for it. We made short barrel rifles, pistols, and even T-shirt launchers out of them.
The AR-15 went from a niche product of Colt Firearms to being a popular, well selling product built by almost every US Firearms manufacturer, with dozens of start up companies building their own versions, and hundreds of companies getting into the business of manufacturing parts for AR rifles.
Thank you Diane Feinstein. Without your ham-fisted "Assault Weapons Ban," millions of Americans would never have became firearms enthusiasts.

A Democrat who is a centrist who reaches across the aisle has been, for several decades, a far left ideologue that Republican leadership palls around with while getting all of their preferred pork into major legislation and their name on leftist legislation that ends up getting Republican leadership approval because that's how the Senate is supposed to work.
A Democrat who is a centrist who reaches across the aisle never votes for conservative legislation in any way shape or form.

The NDP are full on Socialist, more so than even the Liberals. But they can't bring themselves to say that. The Economist is a Statist mouthpiece at best and bratty contrarian at worst.

The AR-15 we t from a niche product made by Colt to the most popular rifle ever made. Dozens of companies manufacture their own AR patterned rifle. Millions of People have made their own AR in their basements and garages.
The Assault Weapon Ban revitalized American Gun Culture and the rights to self defense and to carry firearms in public.

Concise Oxford Dict.
raze (also rase)
n verb tear down and destroy (a building, town, etc.): villages were razed to the ground.
ORIGIN
Middle English (in the sense 'scratch, incise'): from Old French raser 'shave closely', from Latin ras-, radere 'scrape'.

In fairness to the girl, "centrist" to a Democrat means someone willing to work, when absolutely necessary, with one of those "Republicans" not only willing, but eager, to stab their voters in the back. It's not like it was a huge burden.

My mother was involved in a "tragic" firearms incident as a girl, and came away damaged. I have a certain sympathy. But the whole business about putting her finger into the bullet hole in Milk's head was just sick. She had something wrong with her, unless she was lying for effect -- in which case the people who were affected by it had something wrong with them, too.

By terminating the signal with the wrong resistance, the signals would attenuate wrong, reflections would increase and and data transmission would become unreliable, particularly as cable length and number of devices increased. Collisions would increase. The devices closest to the start of the cable might not notice the problem very much, but the devices closer to the end (closer to the terminator) would probably not work at all.
Improper termination. Not even once.
