UN absurdity
We have this cadre of individuals in positions of some form of influence who whose experience typically fails to include meeting a payroll and whose education can be described as undemanding in terms if intellectual rigor. worse than that they cannot imagine that smarter people are doing neat things that benefit themselves invisibly. You understand of course that there are some seriously smart folks in the liberal arts. Yet it is just a few. The same holds true for STEM. Except programming absorbs most of those in great paying jobs. It really is not that difficult folks. Un... read more
Genetic Study Maps When and How Polynesians Settled the Pacific Islands
It is nice to revisit tis problem again. 1 exploration was conducted by open canoes paddling against the wind. This always allowed for an easy retreat back to the home islands. Thus we have natural progression from the SW to the SE Pacific. This all appears to have happened over a thousand years ago. successful trips then became oneway expeditions as sailing back against the wind was still expensive and difficult. 2 The same strategy applies for hte NE Pacific to the NW Pacific and more preciely from the Pacific Northwest to Hawaii. This naturally inject North American... read more
Breeding beetle-resistant potatoes
I can not help but follow this research. It is a natutral continuation of my highschool agricultural classes that could be better described as empirical biology. what every farm boy needs to know and yes, understand. I have watched as our understanding of genetic manipulation has nicely deepened, but also with alarm as elements outside of agriculture try to do things that the agricultural crowd would shy from. this shit can bite. In fact it has done just that by coming in from the wild over and over again. We need to make it much more dificult for monocultures to be attracked a... read more

The European Court of Human Rights’ Litvinenko Ruling Is Lawfare Against Russia

August 2021 Oceans Warmed Weakly
Originally posted on Science Matters: The best context for understanding decadal temperature changes comes from the world’s sea surface temperatures (SST), for several reasons: The ocean covers 71% of the globe and drives average temperatures; SSTs have a constant water content, (unlike air temperatures), so give a better reading of heat content variations; A major… read more

Spring Break: JFK's Secret Nuclear Fallout Shelter in Florida
*Robert Beckhusen* *Cold War, Americas* As the Cuban Missile crisis would show, JFK was right to fear a nuclear exchange. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If anyone needed bunkers, it’d be the president. But despite its importance, Kennedy’s tropical shelter had some significant limitations. In December 1960, the SeaBees – the U.S. Navy’s construction force — supposedly began the mundane task of building a munitions depot behind the Coast Guard station on Peanut Island, Florida. Known as “Operation Hotel,” the SeaBees actually built a secret nuclear fallout shelter for presi... read more
The SA80 Wins the Prize of Worst Military Rifle
*Paul Richard Huard* *SA80, * The 80s gave us so many great innovations, but this British assault rifle was not one of them. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite some talk of replacing the weapon, the British military plans to keep the SA80 until at least the 2020s — whether or not the lads like it. The SA80 is the British Army’s main assault rifle, and everything about it just screams “1980s.” The British Army Rumor Service — a message board and comedy site — described it as the weaponized version of civil servant, “as it doesn’t work, and can’t be fired.” The rifle ev... read more

China Will Pay for Underestimating America's Submarines

But now the Kremlin is spending billions of rubles modernizing its military—and wants a new supercarrier to rival the United States.

The "Safety Net": The Goal Should Be To Minimize The Number Of People Depending On It
* This post is about a situation where the correct public policy approach should be obvious to everyone, but the perverse incentives of government as usual push in exactly the wrong direction. * The issue is how many people should receive benefits, and in what amounts, from government “safety net” programs. From all I can find, there appears to be near-universal support for at least some level of government “safety net” for the poor. After all, no one wants to see fellow citizens starving for lack of food, or dying for lack of medical attention to a curable health condition, and so f... read more

There are few secret projects like U.S. Air Force black projects, and that was certainly the case for the famed SR-71 Blackbird.

Here’s Why the U.S. Air Force Desperately Needs the A-10 Warthog

They are second to none. The Army needs the expertise, culture and community surrounding the A-10 to remain a vibrant part of the Air Force for the foreseeable future. In 2016, former Rep.

The Castle Bravo Nuclear Test Was One of the United States’ Deadliest
*Caleb Larson* *Nuclear Testing, * Due to unanticipated interactions between components at the nuclear level, the bomb’s explosion was triple what scientists expected. For nuclear scientists, 1950s America was a dizzyingly exciting time to be alive. The Department of Defense and Atomic Energy Commission conducted tests almost every year of that decade, sometimes conducting multiple groups of tests. Perhaps some of the most infamous of these—and deadliest—were the Operation Castle tests. *Operation Castle* The Operation Castle group of tests sought to validate dropping new, high... read more

Buyer Beware: “Simple Truth,” Similar Products May Contain Hidden GMOs
With consumers becoming more and more aware of the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and other harmful synthetic ingredients in their food, companies are scrambling to find new ways to do what they’ve been doing to unsuspecting shoppers for years: to make them think what they’re buying is all-natural even when it’s clearly not. You may recall the scene from the popular movie ‘Food, Inc.’ during which a scan of grocery store products was done, showcasing all of the “wholesome” and “family farm fresh” type images to mislead consumers into thinking they were buying something other... read more
Cloud Layers at WASP-127b
[image: Story 482889406] A ‘hot Saturn’ with a difference, that’s WASP-127b. Although it’s 525 light years away, we’ve learned a surprising amount about the planet’s atmosphere. Details come via the ongoing Europlanet Science Congress 2021, now being held virtually for pandemic reasons, at which Romain Allart (iREx/Université de Montréal and Université de Genève) spoke this week. WASP-127b is quite an unusual planet with or without cloud cover. It’s orbiting its star in a scant four days, amped up by stellar irradiation levels 600 times what the Earth receives from the Sun.

China's New DF-100 Missiles are Another Problem for the U.S. Navy
*James Holmes* *DF-100, China* Even as China builds up its bluewater naval forces, a robust missile force presents a classic challenge for enemy warships. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Precise, fast-flying, long-range missiles such as the DF-100 compress space and time for China’s offshore antagonists. PLA firepower could rain down at an instant’s notice if a U.S. or allied fleet ventures within hundreds of miles of Asian seacoasts. So China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) unveiled new weaponry during its October 1, 2019 military parade? Color me gobsmacked. If China’s ris... read more

Long before Hillary Clinton ever heard of a city called Benghazi, U.S. bombers almost killed Libyan strongman Muammar el-Qaddafi thirty years ago.
