Fun fact: soldiers in the Roman Legions would find their maniples before battle and during exercises by pointing their phones at the SPQR codes held up by the standard bearer.

The Sun being fake is a new one to me.

The attorney general argued in court that the prosecutor at the time denied racial motivations for removing Black jurors and asserted there was nothing improper about touching the murder weapon without gloves at the time.

The attorney general is an idiot and lacking in basic evidence collection knowledge.

Some people will say that science has gone too far. I, however, do not think it has gone far enough.

I wonder if anyone rich enough has decided on undertaking the quest to get and hold as many citizenships as possible.

There’d probably be difficulty though getting simultaneous citizenships for North Korea / South Korea citizenship, Russia / Ukraine, or Republic of China / People’s Republic of China.

How can someone have four simultaneous citizenships?

Is it money? Gotta be money.

Appliances are super expensive. It doesn’t help that so many of them have planned obsolescence built in so they fail just after their warranty period.

One little thing I learned is that upper “tier” appliances that cost more share many of the same components as cheaper models. The fancy clothes washing machine might have a color touchscreen but the motors and control boards are the same, so you could save a lot of money by just getting the cheaper model with buttons rather than one that is capable of running Skyrim.

A good way to check is to look for maintenance manuals for these appliances. If you see parts lists that are shared between the more expensive and cheaper models, you’re better off going with the cheaper one.

That looks completely unassailable.

Suspect is hot. I repeat, suspect is hot.

Bronze cut cavatappi is the superior macaroni.

That turret came down lollypop stick first.

Does this make the value of the book go up or down?

C’mon Trump, we expect better of your nicknames.

Like Meatball Ron.

Huh. That’s why it is never working for me.

Potato scientists: what would happen if we extruded a potato through a unit circle over time?

The picture makes it seem deceptively small since there’s no sense of scale. 38 cm long (14 in) so about 1.2 bananas.

Time for Womanhattan

But that still has the word man in it

Wopersonhattan

But that has the gender term son in it

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Well that’s good because otherwise I wouldn’t know where to point it.
