Will Biden, Trump And Cuomo At Least Agree To COVID-Care For All?
As of today there are 912,998 confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide and 45,551 deaths.

*Higher Education Will Never Be the Same—And That’s Not All Bad* The coronavirus, combined with the public and private reactions to it, has affected every aspect of Americans’ lives, including the ways they learn.

That may spur pedagogical reforms that will lead to the creation of more Emersonian independent thinkers, people who can quickly find, analyze, and synthesize available data to come to reasoned conclusions on important matters—a resource that seemed in migh... more »

Using the pandemic for political advantage
I'm seeing an emerging understanding, a deliberate coming together to harness the coronavirus pandemic to the advantage of left-wing, progressive politics at any cost, no matter what lies and deceptions have to be perpetrated to do so. There seems to be an attitude of, as Rahm Emanuel put it in 2008, "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." We saw that on very blatant display in Nancy Pelosi's recent porkulus aid bill, which was fortunately swamped by the weight of very pronounced pub... more »

ADS Assault Rifle: An Underwater Assault Rifle That Isn't Science Fiction
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Europe* Water won't save you from this Russian weapon. Water and guns don't mix. While modern military firearms can be exposed to some water and still operate reasonably well, few weapons can actually endure being submerged for more than a brief moment. And then there is the fact that weapons designed for use on land typically don't work as well underwater. The Russian ADS assault rifle addresses those issues. It was designed specifically for special operations and thus is a truly "amphibious" weapon for use with underwater operatives ("frogmen") in th... more »
