At least not so great for us, as a country and a society… I believe I have mentioned I do a lot of writing on Quora. Sometimes, I feel it is worthwhile sharing with the world at large. From the Question, it is impossible to determine which side of the fence the Questioner is on, […]
I try not to just point to another article without adding some commentary on it, but it’s late and I thought this article on American Thinker today was a good, concise description of one of the major weapons currently deployed by the Left in our Cold Civil War. The article begins: Hoax hate crimes belong […]
We are only beginning to take advantage of the democratization of aerial photography. The availability of high-quality drones carrying very good lightweight cameras is opening up a world that few ever get to see directly with their eyes. For those interested in architecture, here is a great collection of “views from above” in a gallery […]
Most of the United States, sans Arizona and Hawaii, submit to the indignity of changing their clocks twice a year, whether they need it or not. This foolish practice is scheduled to occur again tonight. Tomorrow I will be tasked with remembering which devices update their own time, climbing up ladders to change electro-mechanical wall […]
Sean Hannity has a tendency to be over-dramatic, but I hope he’s right about this one.
SciNews cobbled together a timelapse of Dragon 2 docking at the ISS, and set it to The Blue Danube. Though it could have used a little help near the end, this was an emotional video for me. I wasn’t aware, without the timelapse, just how much this vehicle wiggled around while waiting for clearance to […]
My employment has offered me a residency in Oahu, HI (JB Pearl-Hickam for those who know what that means) for a period of 1-4 years. I have a few days to think it over before I decide whether or not to take it. So I thought I would list the pros and cons of temporarily […]
All right, we’ve seen where to watch airplanes in the sky, and ships in the water, but what about the third major transportation technique, the rail? As it turns out, there doesn’t appear to exist yet a unified way to find all rail traffic, but there are some specific maps for specific countries and services. […]
This is another one of those tracker sights (like flight tracking) only this on is tracking global shipping traffic. It is interesting how much shipping traffic there is going on. Same deal, if you click on a ship you can learn some details about it. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:53.2/centery:13.3/zoom:4
I don’t use Chrome, so this doesn’t bother me, but to those who do this is a big deal! Update immediately if it didn’t do it automatically.
Lewis K. Uhler and Peter J. Ferrara point out the serious nature of the threat of socialism to the United States, in a commentary at International Business Daily. Throughout the 20th century, socialism failed miserably everywhere it was tried, from the old, now dead, Soviet Union, to North Korea, East Germany, Cuba, and now Venezuela, […]
There is a 3-part documentary about the events at Evergreen College in May of 2017, triggered by the equity plan introduced by the school’s new president. It is chilling. These kids are going to be our country’s leaders soon and there’s precious little we can do about it. Parts 1 and 2 are at the […]
At the same time Dragon 2 was hitting the water, the crew at Boca Chica was moving the Starhopper over to the launching area. They can walk and chew gum at the same time! No clear word yet about whether the nose cone part is going to be used for flight tests. Opinions differ. Seeing […]
As we near the end of winter, it will not be long before the neighbors or come back out of our respective dens and start interacting again. Young people will be out playing (in my neighborhood at least) with their parents close in tow. I leave this here with love for my neighbors, and yours, […]
Here is a site some of you might like. Created by Steven Stengel of Orange County, California, it showcases a collection of old computer technology, arranged in pages by year. Though I am not that Steve, I have sympathy for how he feels because I have owned and still own (or used at work) at […]
