Don’t blame me, I voted for McMullin.
A lot of people voted for President Giant Middle Finger specifically because he would annoy leftists. And that’s fine, as far as it goes, but just as how Hillary annoying “deplorables” energized them into voting, now the lefties are energized into voting.
I’m always amazed when westerners get in legal trouble in certain countries. My amazement generally comes less from them having committed whatever crime it was than from them having the terrible judgement that took them to those countries in the first place. Some nations should be simply *avoided* until they enter at least the 20th century in terms of legal systems.
This should result in some interestingness:
Where the author describes the Reverend Jesse Jackson of getting handsy, creepy and sexual-harassy.
Anybody who would spend $375 on this deserves to be separated from their (likely trust fund) money. I only wish it was being separated my way.
Imagine the embarrassment if two Lil Snowflakes showed up at a protest both wearing the same thing.
“Dry clean only.”
The thing I find Damned Funniest, is if you go to the actual Barney’s page, you see this:
Pre-ripped jeans, no doubt. But here’s the thing that made me larf out loud:
“Our model is 6’1”/185cm and wearing a size Small.”
BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I’m pretty sure any one of my cats daily eats a heartier meal than the vegan bag-o-antlers they hired to model their edgy jacket gets in a years time.
What kind of anarchists are we raising these days? Too lazy to take a sharpie and scribble their own childish mottos onto some army-navy surplus jacket stolen from a homeless bum, but somehow equipped with buckets of disposable cash.
Theoretical evidence suggests that the fusion of two quarks could be a substantially more energetic event than the fusion of two hydrogen atoms. Two “bottom” quarks release 138 million electron volts when fused to create a nucleon, while the fusion of deuterons/tritons to produce helium nuclei average out to about 18 million electron volts.
That’s cool and all, but the problem is that the lifespan of a free-roaming bottom quark is about one picosecond, while a halflife of tritium is 12.3 years. This means you can’t actually build up any of the stuff. If you posit some near-magical advanced technology that can crank out a kilo of bottom quarks in much less than a picosecond and mash them all together, you’ve probably posited a technology that can make a bigger bang without going to the bother of fusing the quarks… just the process of turning barionic matter into a pile of quarks is probably damaging enough (imagine if the Death Star didn’t just fire a boring old laser beam, but emitted a magical field that converts the baryons that make up a planet into free quarks).
Still, it’s always interesting when science comes up with new stuff that allows science journalists to kinda freak out a bit and produce clickbaity article titles…
I think I’m pretty close on most of the geometry here. Probably need to resculpt the middle engine bar.
Well, here we go again, another whacko shooting a place up. As always there is a dearth of good information so far about the motives of the shooter, one Devin Patrick Kelley. One interesting snippet is that he was discharged from the USAF in 2014. Reports are that he was discharged for bad conduct. Some reports have it that he was dishonorably discharged. If this in fact the case, then he was legally barred from possessing a firearm:
The dishonorable discharge is based on a general court-martial conviction. This means the conviction is a felony, regardless of what the underlying offense may have been. The convicted felon is banned from possessing a firearm including Title II Firearms (a Silencer, SBR, SBS, AOW, or Machine Gun).
A person who is convicted of a crime that is punishable by imprisonment for more than one year ( including a dishonorable discharge) is prohibited from possessing a firearm. Under 18 U.S.C. 922(g), a felon who is found guilty of gun possession may serve up to 10 years in prison.
If you have been convicted of a felony or a dishonorable discharge, be careful of constructive possession. You could be guilty of being in possession of a firearm if your spouse or another family or household member has a firearm that you “could” access.
I don’t know if “bad conduct discharges” result in the same revocation of gun ownership rights as a “dishonorable discharge.”
His motives may or may not be discernible. However, it should be instructive to keep an eye on politicians in coming days and weeks to see who tries to use this incident to further their aims: to those politicians, guys like this are their heroes and footsoldiers.
Currently being sold on ebay is a display model of a missile, a “Martin ASM.” ASM almost certainly means “Air to Surface Missile,” but otherwise there’s no further info. Seller seems to think it’s related to the Assault Breaker project, but it looks vaguely like a Skybolt-ish air-launched ballistic missile.
For no quantifiable reason, “catch you on the flip, suckas!” gets me every time.
