Video at 11.* I’m disappointed on multiple levels–I wanted to see Rupert on the stand being served his own intestines via a cross examination for the ages. I wanted to see F**ker Carlson allowed to spin on a spit over coals for hours. I wanted a jury award so large only scientific notation could handle …
RIP Gordon Moore
Some lives span an entire transformation, the complete journey from before to after. Gordon Moore proposed Moore’s law in 1965: that the number of transistors that could be included on a chip would double roughly every two years.Ā That prediction held up for at least half a century, and may have a bit more road …
Am I The Only One?…(More Thread)
Hey. Looks like we could use a new focus of discussion. So how about this: When I feed my house panthers, I find myself (often, not always) bending down, and, like some over-familiar waiter at a restaurant trying too hard to be mellow, saying, “enjoy.” I do realize that I am my cats’ servant…but everytime …
Quickie Muskrat Gigging.

But there was another story that caught my eye, as an illustration of how little Musk-ish MoTUs grasp normal human emotion–despite what I’m sure …

That is: the Wall St. Journal reported, and then everyone else picked …
Human Beings Can’t Do This
Valued commentator Raven mentioned the NBA’s slam dunk contest in a thread below.Ā Seems a tiny (in context) fringe player put on a show. I sought out the video.Ā Dayum.Ā It seems that an anti-gravity machine has been invented, not to mention a command of kinematics that I had assumed both the laws of both …
There’s The Beef…
So weĀ need some more thread, I think, but I’m still mired in my various missed deadlines, so how about another cooking/eating moment. A few days ago (Sunday, maybe?) I made a third iteration of a recipe I’m trying to make automatic: This time I deviated from Chef Pepin’s instructions in a couple of ways. …
