A little bit of Carma for a woman who decided to torch her (assumedly ex- now) boyfriend's jeep.

Something insane. A woman apparently pepper sprayed a man for not wearing a mask - he and his wife were eating lunch outside at a dog park at the time. She sprayed the food they were eating as well. Hopefully, the state will prosecute her - and maybe take away her handicapped license plate. IMO, this woman is lucky the man was NOT your average street psycho as he let her leave without beating her up.

A very interesting article on batteries. People are looking for alternatives to lithium ion batteries, and some things can be made into batteries that are quite surprising, such as fruit and (man-made) diamonds.

I don't think the diamond battery is really a "battery", in that they infused radioactive carbon 14 from nuclear waste into the structure of a diamond, so it seems more like a mini nuclear plant, but talk about amazing, a battery that would produce current for thousands of years made from nuclear waste. A cell phone and laptop that are *always* charged. If this is scalable, one could make electric cars or household appliances that could run "forever" without recharging ... I'm not sure the oil industry would like that, but I hope that this can be developed.

From the "people doing nutty things during the covid crisis file", this man put a 170 horsepower motorcycle engine in a go-cart and went 180 miles/hr in it. In the video you can see he's just sitting on it, and while he's wearing a helmet, there's no roll bars or firesuit and whatever else the racers wear, in fact the man is wearing tennis shoes! He's lucky he didn't lose control as if he crashed he could have been seriously injured.

A Fox article on a crime in NYC where a young man forced an old man to withdraw money from an ATM and robbed him. That's sad, not crazy, so where's the craziness? The euphemism used in the Fox article describing the suspect is. They said:

"As of Thursday, the suspect, described as a 20- to 30-year-old man ***with a dark complexion***, has not been identified."

C'mon now, I know we're all trying to be sensitive, but is it really THAT offensive to just say, "black"?

I agree. They did the same thing today with this article:

"A St. Louis County, Mo., prosecutor said Thursday that he will not be charging the White police officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014, after quietly reopening the investigation."

emphasizing with a captial letter that the police officer who shot Michael Brown was "White". We could clearly see that from a photo, just as we could see Michael Brown was black. Eh, at the end of the day they are probably just trying to sell papers.

This whole Ellen Degeneres thing is really something. She was lauded in Hollywood for years, and all of a sudden she's a harassing tyrant. Her career's probably over. LOL, the part I think is instructive about this is that no one said a peep about her until she was seen having a hot dog with former President Bush. From that moment on things that have been going on for years with her became big scandals that needed to be addressed immediately. It's amazing to me how rigidly the cancel culture enforces their decrees, even upon one of their own.

A neat short video. This is from one of the creators of the computer mouse. The video is from 1968 and also highlights how the mouse works and why it's useful, as well as hyperlinks, video conferencing, and describes the formation of a new thing (originally called arpanet) involving linking up 20 computers in different locations that would be able to communicate and share information with each other that would eventually become the internet. Keep in mind that this was in 1968, 52 years ago!

I strongly doubt anyone on the left would come out and say, "Ellen, because you ate that hot dog with Pres. Bush we are going to tack you to the wall for your abusive management style that we've been overlooking all these years". Were they to say that *they* would look bad for overlooking her bad behavior previously just because they agreed with her politically.

The connection to Bush is something one has to work out for oneself.

 

Because people know Clinton's a sleaze. Ellen is supposed to be a true believer.

 

Here's a psycho for you. This man went in to a cigar store and was told to put on a mask, which he refused to do. He did, however, steal two cigars on his way out the door. The store employee followed him out to the parking lot to get his cigars back and the man started shooting at him (thankfully, the employee wasn't injured). When the police caught up with the suspect, he got in to a shootout with them, and was wounded and arrested.

Seriously friend, the mask is NOT your biggest problem!

LOL, I was trying to be charitable. The truth is that Bill is an exception to the "no fraternization with the enemy" rule because everyone, right and left wing, is terrified of being liquidated by his wife if she doesn't like what she hears.

 

Nope, not the moon, more like this:





The only think one needs is a book, a pitcher of ice-cold margaritas and an oar to bat the occasional shark away.
