I'm sure that Biden's staff has begged him to stop mentioning Beau, but he can't help himself.
I'm also sure that he justifies to himself having Hunter taking millions of bribes on his behalf on the grounds that it is small compensation for the loss of Beau.

There was a Stargate SG-1 episode (two, several seasons apart, actually) with that premise. The message was on paper that also tested positive for the team's blood.
Needless to say, they did put the address on a 'do not dial' list, and later recognized it when they met the aliens involved somewhere else.

Of course, said firearm may be a "rental" and have 15 bodies associated with it, with many recovered slugs awaiting ballistic matching to it.
Several years ago a Detroit cop got caught with a "throw down" pistol that was supposed to be in the Evidence locker.

Heard a complete opposite theory of the bolded. People see government conspiracies in movies and believe them, take them at face value. But they can't seem to see them in real life. Better to believe in the fantasy rather than the reality of the world around them.

-----------
Hundreds of far-right extremists and members of the Reichsbürger group were still in possession of a weapons license at the start of last year despite incipient efforts to disarm them, German media reported on Friday.
As of December 31, 2022, 1,051 extremists and some 400 Reichsbürger had permission to own at least one weapon, the corporate newsroom RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland said, citing the Interior Ministry’s response to a parliamentary question from the Left Party.
A year previously, 1,561 extremists and some 500 Reichsbürger possessed arms licenses, according to the ministry.

Guy replaced a part on the furnace or stove, and had this thing left over. Didn't want to toss it, but didn't want it to get lost in a drawer, so he taped it to the fridge where he would know where to find it.
I can't see enough to know exactly what part that is, but it is for gas, not water.

That is what gun shows are for. Buy a replacement barrel with cash, if extra paranoid do same for firing pin.
This is just plain good advice for any gun owner with an EDC firearm. Take the nice stock barrel, prep it for storage and leave it someplace in case you need to quickly swap out and destroy the gun-show barrel. "Clean" the barrel that needs to go away with a slightly smaller caliber drill bit, and be very sloppy and careless with its application. You may even consider sledge hammer and vice before tossing into a lake for more long term "storage".

Cats make something akin to a profession of staring at something with an alarmed or concerned expression. Every single one we've ever had have done that thing, and they seem to especially love doing it while they're looking at something over your shoulder. Eventually you get paranoid enough that you look behind you, and, of course, there's nothing there. You turn back around and the cat is all tranquil and relaxed.
Given how clever the felines are, I almost wonder if it's a form of amusement for them - "Ha, ha, foolish human! I made you look!"

So he's pulling out all the stops, pushing his father's car as close to its limits as possible, and, as you might suspect, he went into a skid and the car flipped completely over. Luckily, he wasn't injured, and was able to find a house where they would let him use their phone. We all turn up there, and before we can even say anything to my cousin, his father walks over to where he's standing, in front of a car now resting on its roof, and says "Give me those keys!"
My father and I both looked at each other and I have a feeling he was thinking what I was - "Whoo-boy, you sure got him told! Who could tell what would happen if those keys hadn't been confiscated?"

Backstory on that was that the owner had rescued a kitten with a prolapsed rectum (which, I was told, is not an uncommon affliction of felines). The Vet couldn't really do anything for the kitten except, well, push it back in. Owner gets home, and once again, there's a prolapse. They call the Vet, who tells them that if they sprinkle some sugar on the afflicted area, the cat will lick it off, and reduce the swelling, so problem solved. The owner's husband overheard part of the call, and from what I understand, that statement was his response.

Big agreement on the first two - I fear we may be stuck with the third, though. While we're getting back to B.C. and A.D. we should also think about placing A.D. in front of rather than behind a given year. Think about it - 1941 in the year of our Lord as opposed to in the year of our Lord 1941. The latter seems to me the best fit given what anno domini signifies.

The planets do not orbit the sun. The planets and the sun orbit the center of gravity of the solar system. That point is sometimes inside the sun, but it can be hundreds of thousands of miles outside the sun, too. So the earth-sun distance varies as time goes on--excluding our elliptical orbit--by more than "an inch."
The current barycenter of the solar system is about a solar radius outside the sun, but it'll be back inside the sun in 2027. And then back outside in 2033. The closest it'll be to the center of the sun in this half-millennium is in 2030. It was close in 1951 and 1990, too.

And don't forget the the "path" around the sun is elliptical, so less solar flux when earth is at its peak distance away from the sun, more when it's at it's closest (aphelion, perihelion). Guess what? For the Northern hemisphere, the closest (perihelion) happens about two wks after the winter solstice.

Well, two out of five ain't bad. Only having the Knicks, I saw the Celtics two times in the '80s, along with the Nets once. Knicks had Bernard King in one Celtic and the Nets games. Like I said, wasn't a Knicks fan, or a hater, either, though I did root for the Celtics. But I was never a rabid basketball fan, high school, college or pro.
Oh, wait, I also saw Doctor J as a Virginia Squire and went to the 1974 ABA All-Star game in Norfolk, the one where Artis Gilmore (Kentucky Colonels) won MVP. Geez, how soon I forget.

The current barycenter of the solar system is about a solar radius outside the sun, but it'll be back inside the sun in 2027. And then back outside in 2033. The closest it'll be to the center of the sun in this half-millennium is in 2030. It was close in 1951 and 1990, too.

And don't forget the the "path" around the sun is elliptical, so less solar flux when earth is at its peak distance away from the sun, more when it's at it's closest (aphelion, perihelion). Guess what? For the Northern hemisphere, the closest (perihelion) happens about two wks after the winter solstice.

A picture is worth 1000 words: https://tinyurl.com/3jkffsec
It's a wikipedia link to a picture of the sun (yellow line), with the path of the center of the solar system (white line) drawn around it. Everything in the solar system is orbiting around that point on the white line, not around the center of the sun.
The sun is 98+% of the mass in the solar system. But just as gravity is pulling the earth towards you just like it's pulling you towards the earth, the planets are pulling the sun towards themselves, too.
Jupiter and Saturn, especially, are big enough and close enough to matter, so the sun winds up "orbiting" a point that's not inside the sun about half the time, and "wobbling" around a point inside the sun, but not at the center of the sun, the other half of the time.

Correct. Consider a rope, acting as "the force of gravity".
If you have an "infinite" mass, like a stake in the ground, at one end of the rope, and you hold the other end and run in a circle, you're orbiting that center.
If my twin brother and I hold each end of the rope and try to do the same thing, we wind up orbiting a point in the exact center of the rope.
If Lizzo holds one end and I hold the other, we orbit a point much closer to Lizzo than me.
If Lizzo has 9 ropes and 9 dogs who total about 2% of her weight, it's like the solar system.

Same phenomenon, exactly!
Earth has a moon similar in mass, but it's still about 80-to-1. Our barycenter is always inside the Earth, but it's closer to the crust than to the center of the Earth.
Charon is about 1/8th the mass of Pluto, and they orbit a common point outside of Pluto.
The other planet's moons are so tiny (relatively) that they wobble less than the sun/planet system does.

The only planets with large moons only have one moon, so it's a two-body problem, like my rope example.

As mentioned above I was asst manager at a college bar. Spike the boss pd about as poorly as anyone else in a college town, but we got a free meal and if you worked till close you got to drink free beer or rail drinks after closing. And he gave us quarters to play pool, foos ball and pinball! A college kids dream.
If he was closing we had an hour or so while he counted money, etc. However, when we were closing there were times we left much later.
