There Are Billions Of Dollars To Be Sucked Out Of Fragile Counties Like Ukraine-- Giuliani Wanted Some Of That... How About Trump?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Last week I was asking members of Congress who they thought the impeachment managers would be. No one wanted to say, especially not the potential members of the team. But one senior Democrat who may or may not have been drinking, blurted out, "Oh you know Nancy... two men, two women, two whites, two blacks, a Hispanic, a gay, a straight, girls... boys. The last thing she's ever going to do is pick anyone because they're most qualified for the job. That's against everything she stands for." Oh dear-- but true. Just look at that mess she did pick to back up the totally competent but ... more »

Land Destroyer at Land Destroyer - 16 hours ago
*January 16, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The US has eagerly taken credit for the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani amid a series of military strikes carried out by US forces across Syria and Iraq. The assassination was shortly followed by Iranian missile strikes aimed at US bases in Iraq. The BBC in its article, "Qasem Soleimani: Strike was to 'stop war', says Trump," would claim: *President Donald Trump said the US killed Iran's top military commander Qasem Soleimani "to stop a war, not to start one".* *He said Soleimani's "reign of terror is over" following the stri... more »

When An App Can Predict Your Life Expectancy, Do You Want To Know?

The Conversation at Science 2.0 blogs - 16 hours ago
*When will I die?* This question has endured across cultures and civilisations. It has given rise to a plethora of religions and spiritual paths over thousands of years, and more recently, some highly amusing apps. But this question now prompts a different response, as technology slowly brings us closer to accurately predicting the answer. Predicting the lifespan of people, or their “Personal Life Expectancy” (PLE) would greatly alter our lives. On one hand, it may have benefits for policy making, and help optimise an individual’s health, or the services they receive. read m... more »

Just 2 minutes to warm up

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 17 hours ago
There’s something in my personality that’s very skeptical when I’m told something is easy or quick. Like, buy blessings bags to end poverty (school packs) or it’s easy to lose 15 pounds for that new Easter outfit. However, 2 minutes does sound doable, so I copied this from the Silver Sneaker newsletter and I don’t want to lose it, so I’m putting it in my blog. When I replace my ink cartridge, I may even print it. Filing e-mail articles IS NOT easy, no matter what they tell you about Windows 10!

Can Airsoft and BB gun training translate to real firearms? You bet they can!

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
A few years ago, I recommended the use of BB and/or Airsoft handguns as an ultra-low-cost training resource, to improve skill with a real handgun. I repeated that advice a couple of days ago in a new article. After that came out, I was challenged by a few shooters who insisted that "playing with a toy" could not possibly translate to usable shooting skills with a real firearm, and that I was "sucking this out of my thumb". I'm never going to persuade everyone: but to those willing to watch with an open mind, here's about as much proof as you'll ever need. In Japan, private owne... more »

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 18 hours ago
First off the crust itself remains hot. That is why the atmosphere is so hot. A better question might be what happens to water in that cooking box.

ED Noor: I remember this photo from the wedding. The expressions on the faces of Elizabeth and Philip were of loathing directed towards the bride.
