  1. Shut up Jim Webb. When we want to hear from you, we'll ring your bell.

  2. Today's trip to the dentist unveiled the unholy trifecta of phrases you never want to hear from a medical professional:

    1. "Let's go deeper."

    2. "I'm not sure what's happening here."

    3. "This is something we've never seen before."

    And then, just for the soft landing: "Yeah, this will be expensive."

  6. "precisely because no reforms are possible today it makes perfect sense to flesh out the alternative - not minor restrictions on the margins but a society which has dramatically fewer guns, where private ownership was limited and regulated like how you would in a civilized society and one in which we took seriously limiting the needless deaths and suffering guns cause today."

  9. We break for a moment from the ongoing national discussion about gun control to watch my new "Egg Central" cook its first batch of hard boiled eggs. This had better work, Cuisinart!

  10. Some neat stuff here: http://www.trekcore.com/specials/thumbnails.php?album=169
  11. This is what safe and sane gun regulation would look like: "To get a gun in Japan, first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you'll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record...

  12. This is my monthly reminder to myself. The clock is ticking.

    "You have exactly one life in which to do everything you'll ever do. Act accordingly."

  13. I said Sisko and Battlestar Galactica. His mood seems like a perfect fit

  16. More videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL532DC01F548EE15C From the first video in the playlist, it looks like you can actually play with just one computer per person, as opposed to needing a huge set-up with everyone having a couple screens and so-forth.
  17. Dear spiders who live in my book boxes in the garage,

    How do you eat? How long is your food commute? Surely you should live closer to your food source and not inside a sealed box that has to be the equivalent of a lonely Nebraska dirt road in terms of delicious bug traffic?

  18. Californians, sign this petition as a step toward ending the tyranny of money in our elections. Corporations and billionaires shouldn't be able to manipulate our democracy.

  19. I just signed up for this and it took about 4 minutes. If you care about the Earth, do your part and check this out to see if you can power your place with 100% clean energy. There's nothing to install at your house, and we both get a discount if you sign up through the link below!

  20. Surely there would be stairs on any ship! You'd want a way to get from one deck to another when the power goes down, without having to crawl through a jeffries tube Quite beautifully done. Lots of wonderful details so far.
  21. Can someone explain to me why the pharma industry shouldn't be nationalized? It seems like of all the corrupt, price-gouging industries, this one would be most ripe for government's equalizing and neutralizing force.
