Good for you. Those targets are quick and a lot of them run serpentine.

To nick the ear of a man moving around? Bullshit. If he was trying to miss, he should have aimed for the dirt instead of hitting a bystander. It’s exactly what it looks like, he was trying to kill Trump and missed.

Nope, 120 meters is just too far away for an accurate shot. If he was shooting to miss and trump nicked his own ear with a razor blade, he killed a guy on stage. Trump was doing a lot of these rallies and the Secret Service was complaining they didn’t have enough time and resources to sweep the areas around each one. Thomas Crooks was just a very smart neurodivergent kid, and when a rally was held a mile from his home, he saw his chance and took it.

At least he didn’t force choke him like Darth Vader.

Old Man’s War by Scalzi. A lot like heinlein used to write.

K & R for Three Body Problem (the book) Hard sci fi with a minimum of distractions. The 30 episode chinese series is on youtube (but read book first).

Under the East Wing was where the Situation Room was already, so maybe they are just upgrading it at the same time as building a ballroom. They didn’t follow a normal procurement process at all. He’s been talking about a ballroom since 2010. It was always ballroom first.

Your right. Audience right stage left

Melania (right)

I didn’t like the juvenile shit (jump scares, throwing tools on the floor, flailing about) but I understand juveniles are who movies are made for. German milfs with no makup are hot. 5 stars.

I never see a Chihuahua that is not obese. This pic does not look familiar.

If only I had a time traveller from the future to tell me which decisions turned out badly…oh wait I didn’t.

Don’t forget the North Sea oil money

He doesn’t have to smell it, he just has to look at reserve ratios. If they are 12 to 1 or 16 to 1, no worries. When they get to 50 to 1 or 100 to 1 a crash anywhere will cause a chain reaction of failing instititutions.

It’s the same with evangelists. They say society hates god, but what it really hates is assholes who won’t leave them alone.

youtube T. Folse Nuclear (he’s pro-nukes but fair), youtube Sabine Hossenfelder (but does not like the academic patriarchy mafia), huberman lab (medicine, healthy lifestyle), youtube daves garage (microsoft), Dr Todd Grande (psychology, mostly of celebrity crime) but I think he lets his trumper opinions leak in, youtube geography by geoff (guess) , youtube nick zentner (geology with pacific nw emphasis), lazy chill history (history emphasizing mystery), youtube microbetv, youtube justine taylor (military at the grunt level) , youtube paleo analaysys (all of life history, not just dinosaurs) youtube xah lee (computers with emphasis on alternative input keyboards etc). Those are some of my youtube subscriptions

Fran Blanche looks interesting, I’ll give her a chance…

1/2 of all the rich are rich because they were born rich. I lost where I found that statistic though.

Identical twins…trapped in the basement…winning the lottery…tonight, on a very special…cousin oliver

I don’t know how Elon is going to die.

But I’m rooting for it.

Nuclear is a lot of things, but one thing it is not is profitable. No country, not Russia, China, Japan, France etc has ever made it profitable. It is always subsidized.
