What are you implying? :)

They both fired. But Jackson's gun misfired. Jackson took a minute to get to his feet AND re-load after his first round misfired - violating the rules of a duel and essentially committing murder. He was never charged.

Perhaps the People's Republic of Joe Bank could write a check to help cast a wide net: https://www.bradyunited.org/program/veterans-for-gun-reform

More than 6,000 children killed, hurt by gunfire in 2022: Report 6,000. Think about that. That's more than the population of 50 of the smallest towns in the US - combined. Still not worthy of writing your representatives to reinforce your position and desired direction? Here. I'll make it easier: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative EDIT: That's more than double the number of US Service Members killed in Afghanistan of 17 years.

It's been an on-going battle.

The universe is screwing with me. Scrolling thru Twitter land and one of the science types points to this video by Rober: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My4RA5I0FKs&ab_channel=MarkRober Queue twilight zone music

Thank you all. Quite the list to keep me occupied thru the new year.

OK Nevermind. When in doubt; go to ChatGPT: Faraday waves are a type of standing wave that can occur on the surface of a liquid when it is subjected to a periodic driving force, such as oscillating pressure or vibration. One everyday use of Faraday waves is in the production of coffee crema. When coffee is brewed, the hot water passing through the coffee grounds creates a layer of foam on the surface of the liquid. This foam, known as crema, is formed by the action of Faraday waves on the surface of the coffee. The hot water passing through the coffee grounds creates pressure waves that cause the surface of the liquid to oscillate, generating Faraday waves. These waves create a series of ripples on the surface of the liquid, which trap and stabilize the bubbles of gas that make up the foam. Faraday waves are also used in a number of other everyday applications, such as in the production of foam rubber and in the separation of mixtures of fluids or particles.

Shit. It's Christmas week. I forgot you fockers drink till the first.

Yeah, I read that and did a drill down into each of the hyperlinks. But, it doesn't explain (for me) a real-world use that I can understand.

I follow a few science types on Twitter. In the feed this morning, one of them showed a cup of coffee drug across a table creating ripples in the liquid and said this is an example of the "Faraday Wave." I use these little science McNuggets to explore, but I can't find a "use" for the Faraday Wave. Is it something that has a practical application or is it just something to be observed?

Happy Holidays. That is all.

They're not moot. They're some of the reasons, "States simply should not be in the business of killing their citizens."

Since 1973, over 156 people have been released from death rows in 26 states because of innocence. Nationally, at least one person is exonerated for every 10 that are executed.

Sexual orientation being "shoved down our throats"

Therein lies the problem. Walk away. Keep your eyes on me and don't look back. -
Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

And yet, Mr. McCarthy, who is toiling to become speaker next year when the G.O.P. assumes the majority, has so far been unable to put down a mini-revolt on the right that threatens to imperil his bid for the top job. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/13/us/politics/trump-mccarthy-speaker-republicans-freedom-caucus.html [paraphrase] In 2018, Pelosi was successful due to her ability to negotiate committee chairs [/paraphrase] I think McCarthy may come down to his promises using the same strategy. Let's play "Wheel of Fortune." -

"In my travels after the election around Pennsylvania, I've heard from many, many formerly very pro-Trump voters that they think it's time for our party to move on," Toomey said. Toomey also called Trump out during his Senate farewell speech on December 15, warning his GOP colleagues that the party "can't be about or beholden to any one man." "We're much bigger than that. Our party is much bigger than that," Toomey said. https://www.businessinsider.com/republican-senator-trump-losing-hold-on-the-gop-outgoing-2022-12 -
Truth. Around 1996, when businesses started getting websites.

Not instead; do both. Piloting will make you more money than being a skygod.

One could "opt-out" of phone books.

My kid is in advanced biology in HS (she gets it from her mother) and is learning this now. I'm right now helping her with finals and have to say; it is being taught as a science and not as a political perspective.

I'm not that kind of conservative. On the record as opposed to State executions. Willing to listen and observe the assisted suicide discussion. I sit on a Veteran's committee that works on reducing the number of veteran suicide's (22/Day) and am a proctor of the Spartan Pledge. So, I may have some cognitive dissonance about the matter. Having said that, one that is terminally ill with cancer or some other sort of immense physical pain of which there is no cure and no end in sight . . .

I've been watching this whole thing. Not really an active contributor on Twitter (I do like the "World of Engineering" problems). I'm taking a back seat for now and gonna see which direction it goes. Part of me hopes he changes it for the better, but I fear he will wind up like Trump - Shooting himself in the foot with Twitter thumbs on the trigger.

We have the exact same position.

Yep. Watched Here comes Mr. Jordan as a kid. Heaven can wait at the theatre on a date when it came out. Always preferred Mr. Jordan. Not a fan of Beatty.
