Politics And Current Events
I can accept that there is a bar. And we can have reasoned debates about where that bar is or should be. But I would hope there's little debate as to whether this particular instance was on the wrong side of that bar. I'm sure you will be shocked to hear that I disagree. The parents were charged wi...
RIP
RIP to Chadwick Haheo Rowan from Waimānalo, Hawaii, who as Akebono Tarō became the first foreign-born sumo yokozuna in 1993. Akebono's rivalry with the Hanada brothers—fellow yokozunas Takanohana and Wakanohana—led to a resurgence in the popularity of sumo in the 1990s, and Akebono won a total of 11...

Shyster's thread of Spaaaace.
End of an era today, with the final launch of the Delta 4 Heavy and the final launch of any Delta-family vehicle. The last mission carried the NROL-70 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (i.e., a spy satellite). https://twitter.com/DerekdotSpace/status/1777754085262766500 The Delta family...

Given (1) the level of hostility between the parties, and (2) that the states with deadlines (Ohio and I think Alamaba too?) likely have Republican election officials, I would not expect any extensions. Although, not having Biden on the ballot in either state isn't going to change anything because t...

So the state passed a law in 2022 that allowed for abortions up to the 15th week, with some exceptions. Is this a process issue where that law didn't specify that it was superseding the existing laws? How did its passing effect the decision today? The 2022 bill (Arizona Senate Bill 1164) specifical...

Arizona SC validates a law from 1864 banning abortion and charging people with crimes for aiding. This country has gone so far backwards. Whole lotta FUD about this on the interwebs, including the "abortion law from 1864!" Stuff. Yes, while the law was originally enacted in 1864, it was recodified ...

I'd scoped out what I thought were potential spots (using my "find some rural road where you can just pull over" strategy) before I left, and I picked some likely spots both in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I was originally planning on somewhere near Edinboro, but when I hit the traffic on 79 North before ...

Ok, that was seriously cool. Like a bullseye in the sky. The peeper frogs in the wood across from me all started singing, and there must be rosters on a nearby farm, because they were crowing.

Currently on the side of a country road somewhere near Cortland Ohio. NWS said better chances of clear skies to the west, so that's where I headed. It's clear here. The sun is down to a slim crescent.

That's true. I was fully aware that my smart key was no longer present, so I knew not to shut the car off.

Who has two thumbs and after leaving his sisters wedding and putting his sleeping daughter into her car seat put the key fob on top of the car and drove off, heard something (key fob) fall off the car and thought “huh… a branch must have hit my roof”… This guy.

When cooking oatmeal you have to use a wooden spoon to stir right? I mean if you don’t are you even doing it correctly?
I believe the proper tool is a spurtle.

not an appropriately fitting suit amongst them. sad I would say that Barron is close, but his jacket seems a smidge oversized. Looks good other than that... nice break on the pants, shoes look good, and I like the French cuffs. The guy to Barron's right (from our perspective) is also very close, bu...

Naturally occurring events that are only a surprise to her and Shyster. You caught me.
