  1. And a moment of science. Way to go, Kepler! http://www.space.com/33155-biggest-tatooine-exoplanet-twin-suns-found.html
  2. Hess or no Hess, I’m going to watch the Marx Brothers. -- Churchill, during an air raid, 11 May 1941, Ditchley Park
  3. And I've been a big fan of the Dalai Lama for a very long time. https://www.yahoo.com/news/dalai-lama-must-not-see-muslims-terrorists-orlando-180533780.html
  4. Adults only, please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-pZUQv8mjQ
  5. "Authorities in Amarillo, Texas confirmed reports of an active shooter at a Wal-Mart on I-27 and Georgia earlier this afternoon. The Amarillo Police Department asked the public to stay away from the scene and evacuated shoppers on the west side of the building." "ABC 7 Amarillo initially reported that the shooter is 'believed to have taken hostages.' Authorities have now confirmed that there are no confirmed gunshot victims and no ongoing shooting at the Wal-Mart."
  6. By the way; there are still ways to help the victims and their loved ones. http://time.com/4365295/orlando-shooting-pulse-nightclub-victims-help/
  7. And goes far in explaining most of the baseball threads.
  8. Before I gave my Glaive away to my nephew all varmints were easy to keep at bay. Now I'm limited to a katana for that purpose.
  9. I think my plan is going to incorporate some very heavy duty mental health screening as a prerequisite to gun licensure. Repeated on a well regulated basis. I feel much less worry about tyranny coming from above than I do about the tyranny of those who appoint themselves judge, jury, and executioner.
  10. Because you are the sole arbiter of right and wrong, now?
  11. Maybe he is wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you're wrong. Now that we're achieved an understanding, what's the plan to make sure this doesn't happen again?
  12. And maybe a lot of rolling around in agony.
  13. "Odd how many Americans invoke the 2nd Amendment to justify gun ownership, rather than explore whether or not it's a good idea" -- Neil deGrasse Tyson
  14. Today is the keynote of the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, of which I'm watching the live stream. Probably doesn't mean much to the rest of you, but for me it's like Game 1 of the World Series.
  15. Greenland ice melt record in 2015. https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/news-events/greenland-set-melt-records-2015-consistent-‘arctic-amplification’
  16. The 'well-regulated' militia in the United States is better known as the National Guard. It has been subject to revisions in the law many times, including the Dick Act of 1903. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_Act_of_1903
  17. “This is a sad and dark day for this country we all love. “We want to say that this tragedy is unthinkable. But it is not. “Once again, a mass shooting has torn a community apart. Make no mistake: Our country is in the grips of a gun violence crisis. It claimed at least 50 lives early this morning. It claimed 33,000 lives last year. “Some will say that our nation must accept this as the new normal. Some will say that there is nothing we can do to make our country safer from gun violence. It’s not true. We cannot let armed ambushes become the new normal in our country. We have to do better than this. And we can. We have to do more to ensure hatred doesn’t find its evil voice in the crack of a gunshot. We are heartbroken that this attack allegedly targeted our country’s LGBTQ community as they celebrated Pride Month. “We are incredibly grateful to the first responders who acted so bravely this morning to save lives and bring this horror to an end. We grieve for those taken and with their loved ones, and we pray for strength for the injured. Our hearts and prayers are in Orlando and with our fellow Americans in the LGBTQ community.” -- Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and Navy combat veteran and NASA astronaut Captain Mark Kelly
  18. As you might guess these were my favorite places in Germany: http://www.muenchen.de/int/en/sights/museums/deutsches-museum.html http://www.mastersportal.eu/universities/554/georg-august-universitat-gottingen.html At some point I'd like to visit Berlin, birthplace of Max Kepler.
