There’s been a bit of a hullabaloo this week about a recent CNN story. It seems that American (and not British, the article was very specific on this) McNuggets, from McDonald’s, contain a chemical called dimethlypolysiloxane. Oh, the horror! Really, what’s the point of thisfaux outrage? The article is quick to point out the supposed danger […]
Spent the evening watching episodes 1 and 2 of the 5th season of the new Doctor Who. Shh, don’t tell anyone - episode 1 hasn’t even aired in my country yet. But it has aired, and in a flat world - that means it’s fair game to watch. At least, that’s what I tell myself.
Anyway. […]
Driving up Whitsett again. It’s only been 2 years or so…a year and half since we last spoke - but it seems much, much longer. So much has happened to me since. But I drive past her old apartment, the one I first saw her again after a year apart, the one I helped her […]
LE If you’re not failing some of the time, you’re playing it too safe.
Cephyn @LE my problem is failing almost of the time, since i play way, way too safe and never try at all. i break axioms.
JM @LE @cephyn hmm I have never been good at playing it safe. It bores the […]
The Bill of Rights, contrary to popular belief, does not guarantee a trial by a “jury of your peers” - that stems more from a few lines in the Magna Carta (that actually don’t really even apply). The text of the 6th Amendment reads, ” In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right […]
Today marks 40 years since the greatest engineering feat in all of humankind - putting man on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission. I mean no hyperbole - today’s cell phones are orders of magnitude more powerful than the computers used during the Apollo missions. They really did achieve something that could have been […]
It’s good to see that the ultimate decline of civilization into anarchy isn’t quite here yet. I guess I’ll keep putting money in my 401K and trying to be a good person. That’s pretty much all I get out of a recent study by the AAA. They looked at cell phone use in California since […]
At least, not when the messiah is named President Barack Obama. Repeatedly I have posted here that Obama is not the liberal political messiah, he is simply another politician. The “devoted” leftists might label me a hater, but that is not the case - I voted for Obama in the primaries, I voted for Obama […]
There’s been a lot of anger coming from a lot of America (it seems) towards CEO’s getting huge bonuses even while their companies teeter on destruction and ask for billions in aid from the US Government. And I think that it’s absolutely warranted. To reward these executives for running their companies into the ground, with […]
I posted recently on how excited I was to hear President Obama refer positively to non-believers in his Inaugural Address. And it’s true, that one comment was worth a great deal to me. However, that does not negate the overwhelming presence of religion and god worship in general during the Inauguration. And there really was […]
