When I watch The Expanse, and then realize that the furthest human-launched object is only 17 light-hours from Earth, I get depressed. Hey, in another 20 years, we can start referring to how many light-days from Earth it is.

Yes. Commented on one or more of the links with the earliest time stamp. However, your comment is incorrect. According to the article, it stopped working, but they hope to fix it remotely.
Too bad it was paid for by coerced money instead of money voluntarily donated to NASA.

Depends on self-control. $20 mill a year for 20 years is probably healthier for most people although a less spectacular rags-to-riches-to-rags trajectory.
$20 mill a year
Actually spending that much would require going through $55K per day.

Not that much, it would be $20M before taxes.
OK. $30K a day. Every day, including Sundays. Still absurd.

Haven’t looked too much into what’s coming in the Spring, but I know there’s Re: Zero Season 2 and Kaguya-Sama Love is War Season 2, so that’ll be good. Plus more Railgun.
I’m up for Kaguyasama, but ReZero was not my thing. It got way too dark.

Damn, I always forget just how big the universe is. Even at light speed, the fastest, impossible to reach speed, it would take 17 hours to reach the edge of our solar system? Interstellar travel will forever remain in the realm of fiction, I guess.
Yup. When you look at interstellar distances, to say nothing of intergalactic, you realize “faster than light” needs qualification.
Betelgeuse is roughly 700 light years away. At one kilo-light, you’re looking at 8 months, 1 way, assuming no acceleration/deceleration phases.
The Andromeda galaxy is roughly 2.5 million light years away. At one mega-light, you’re looking at 2.5 years one way.
Anything less than ‘basically instantaneous’ you’re not going much of anywhere but the local neighborhood.
Anything less than ‘basically instantaneous’ you’re not going much of anywhere but the local neighborhood.
And considering that (according to a quick Google search) the fastest man-made object achieved 0.0002% of light-speed, instantaneous is a bit out of reach.

“John Roberts DECLINES to read question from Rand Paul naming alleged whistleblower in dramatic confrontation at start of second day of Senate questions”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7948669/John-Roberts-DECLINES-read-question-Rand-Paul-naming-alleged-whistleblower.html
Again?
The ruling fell out of his ass?
*applause*
Apparently, this was this afternoon.
You’re in the age of instantaneous communication. You’re going to have to do better than that. May I suggest you quit your job, take off your pants, and surf the web while hanging out on the Glibs.
That’s where all his rulings come from.
“Chief Justice John Roberts declined to read a question from Republican Senator Rand Paul on Thursday that would name the alleged whistleblower.
Roberts looked at the card containing Paul’s question carefully and then set it aside and said: ‘The presiding officer declines to read the question as submitted.’
Paul immediately left the impeachment hearing to hold a press conference on Roberts’ move.
‘I can tell you that my question made no reference to the whistleblower or any kind of person,’ the senator from Kentucky said.”
Well, which is it?
“I don’t know who the whistleblower is,’ Paul told reporters.
‘My question is not about the whistleblower. My question is about two people who are friends who work together the National Security Council, who are having overheard talking about impeaching the president years in advance of a process that then was created,’ he said.
He said he was ‘still contemplating’ trying to ask his question or some other form of his question again.”
Paul is full of shit. And Roberts is full of shit extending protection that isn’t required by law.
The questions:
When Paul says “My question is not about the whistleblower”, he is going along with/mocking the pretense that the identity of the whistleblower is a big secret that no one knows. Roberts can’t refuse to ask a question about Ciaramella on the basis that he is the whistleblower without blowing up that pretense.
So, why did Roberts refuse the question?
Pelosi has video of him making passionate love to a variety of barnyard animals.
Ginsburg and Sotomayor?
*barf*
You are sick, man.
Haven’t you ever wondered where that finger had been, Sharpy?
Haven’t you ever wondered where that finger had been, Sharpy?
There was a time I was curious. That time passed, my friend.
‘My question is not about the whistleblower. My question is about two people who are friends who work together the National Security Council, who are having overheard talking about impeaching the president years in advance of a process that then was created,’ he said.
A name well-known to you, like in the Soul Train Scramble.
You would think this would be the perfect venue to say that Cirimela or whatever his name is, is not the whistleblower..
However, seems it just entrenches what is an openly talked about secret it actually is with the Chief Justice laying down protection

HT to Raston Bot in the last thread.
Why do the Repubs put up with this? Why don’t they change the rules so Roberts cannot refuse to read a Senator’s question.
I get why they don’t want Senators asking their own questions, because that opens the door to histrionics and speechifying. But why allow Roberts to pick and choose which questions get asked?
Maybe it helps to know just how deep Roberts is in with the Deep State.
I think it’s not so much “in with” as “owned by.”
Yeah, he is an NSA bitch right now.
Cucks.
To avoid being heckled in the hallway?
The GOP senators are still deciding on which side of the coup they are.
What would the Rs have to gain? In the end, President Donald J. Trump is not going to be removed from office. In the meantime, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) gets to make the cases that President Donald J. Trump is being unfairly prosecuted and that no-longer-federal-government judges are biased.
Hmm. Interesting. A good reminder that it is all about optics. Also, baiting Roberts into stepping on the prerogatives of Senators and casting doubt on how any witnesses would be handled can only help with the vote on no witnesses and early dismissal.
They should have every Repub Senator submit a question about Ciamarella and/or the “anonymous whistleblower”. All in one big pile, every question a little different. Force Roberts to deny every one of them.
Amazing that Roberts doesn’t see the damage he is doing to his own reputation and that of the federal courts.
It is amazing. But we live in an amazing age when the defendant managed to win the R primary in 2016 despite a strong field of other candidates.
Strong field?
Jeb!, Carson, Christie, Cruz, Everson, Fiorina, Graham, Huckabee, Jindal, Kasich, Perry, Pataki, Rand Paul, Rubio, Santorum, and Walker
Ted Cruz and Rand Paul were the least un-Glib of the lot.
The way I see it Roberts lost credibility in his PPACA ruling.
As I said in the AM links, Schumer has been lecturing everybody about how the Republicans must have something to hide if they don’t want witnesses, and how we need a “fair” trial, but when a Republican senator wants to unhide a potential witness, oh no we can’t unhide that and “fair” means that the Democrats get everything they want and the Republicans get nothing.
Getting Roberts to stop protecting the farce.

The way they are scared to mention his name, I have to assume that Ciaramella is Keyser Soze.

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Democratic National Committee and the law firm that commissioned the infamous Steele dossier, and his lawyer suggests there is more litigation to come.
In the lawsuit, Page accuses the DNC and its law firm, Perkins Coie, of disseminating “falsehoods” in the dossier through the media, leading to death threats and a loss of income for the former Trump aide.
“The Defendants are private actors who used false information, misrepresentations and other misconduct to direct the power of the international intelligence apparatus and the media industry against a private individual, Plaintiff Carter Page, to further their political agenda,” Page’s lawyers said in the 23-page lawsuit, filed in federal court in Chicago.
Page has sued the DNC and media outlets that published information in the dossier before, but those complaints were tossed out of court. The latest lawsuit is the first Page has filed through a legal team.

I think Warren’s Mussolini style fascism is rooted in megalomania. In my opinion she wants to rule people in large part because she doesn’t see people as human beings, but as objects to be manipulated for her own satisfaction.
In the past, she was able to get people to give her power over their actions by making little promises. The people she was manipulating wanted to believe the image she was selling of herself as a brilliant mind, so they acted as if she were brilliant.
But to stay impressive, she has to gradually escalate the little promises. So she makes a slightly bigger promise. And the bigger a promise is, the more likely it is that people will say WTF?
I think she crossed the line into ridiculous implausibility about 1.5 years ago. Consequently, her escalations are having the opposite effect to the ones she made prior to Trump’s election. Instead of gathering followers, they are repelling them.
But, because she genuinely doesn’t connect with people, she is incapable of fixing her bad mental model of how to acquire power over the masses. Like the WW-II Japanese in Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon, she continues to apply the now bad strategy and tactics because that is they are the ‘correct’ ones.
We’re dodging a bullet. Hitler & Mussolini got very far because they intelligently adapted their message to better enthrall the masses. If she had that same ability, she would be taking us down the path that Mussolini went, a prospect that should terrify everyone. But her lack of emotional intelligence has ensured that she will never get very far.
I think Warren’s Mussolini style fascism is rooted in megalomania. In my opinion she wants to rule people in large part because she doesn’t see people as human beings, but as objects to be manipulated for her own satisfaction.

A consensual kiss turned violent when a Michigan woman bit off an inch of her friend’s tongue, media outlets report.
Youlette Wedgeworth, 52, was at a man’s apartment in Center Line, a small town north of Detroit, when they shared a consensual kiss on Tuesday, The Detroit News reported.
That’s when she is accused of chomping down on the tip of his tongue, the newspaper reported.
Police found the man bleeding from his mouth when they arrived at the apartment, WDIV reported. They found the missing part of his tongue in a bedroom, the Detroit TV station reported.
The man was rushed to a hospital while Wedgeworth went to jail, WXYZ reported. She was charged with aggravated assault, according to jail records.
“I believe this is the first case of this nature in my 27 years in the prosecutor’s office,” Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith told WDIV.

“Ring has exhibited a pattern of behavior that attempts to mitigate exposure to criticism and scrutiny while benefiting from the wide array of customer data available to them. It has been able to do so by leveraging an image of the secure home, while profiting from a surveillance network which facilitates police departments’ unprecedented access into the private lives of citizens, as we have previously covered. For consumers, this image has cultivated a sense of trust in Ring that should be shaken by the reality of how the app functions: not only does Ring mismanage consumer data, but it also intentionally hands over that data to trackers and data miners.”

“Mizzou students required to install location tracking app so college can ‘pinpoint’ them
In a statement to The Washington Post, SpotterEDU chief Rick Carter said that his company works with nearly 40 schools, including major schools such as Auburn, Central Florida, Indiana, and Missouri. Most schools only use SpotterEDU to track their student-athletes; however, many colleges are starting to use the app with their student bodies, like Missouri.
According to the Post, colleges use the data to ensure that student-athletes who are receiving scholarships are attending classes regularly. The program emails professors automatically if a student is not in a class, or shows up more than a few minutes late. Carter told the Post that professors can look specifically at attendance patterns for “students of color” or “out of state students” for retention purposes.”

Just take roll at the beginning of class. Oh right, so they can run 100+ lecture “classes”.
Really, if you can pass without attending class, maybe the lecture isn’t that necessary.
+1 A- in a psychology class I didn’t attend except for exam days.
I got an A in a criminal justice class that I unofficially dropped by not attending after the first or second session.
I went to a quarter of medical school lectures and finished near the top of my class. And had an awesome tan. And won several sailing awards. Attending lectures only perpetuated the egos and salaries of PhD’s who loved to lord it over future physicians.
If you must have attendance in a 100+ person class, that’s what TAs are for. Or just have them swipe their student IDs when they come in. Or any of a thousand other options that are less Orwellian.
I don’t think I had attendance taken at any class in college.
If I was a professor, I wouldn’t want any students in class that didn’t want to be there.
Or teacher of any kind.
Guess that’s why I’m not a teacher.
Sure, but 12 grade and under have mandatory attendance. College is voluntary.
Of course. Thus my 2nd sentence.
I did for some, but not any of the classes for my major. At Georgia Tech Lorraine there was a mandatory seminar class where the grade was completely attendance based, and I almost got a B because of sleeping through my alarm.
[Students] should have all the rights, responsibilities and privileges that an adult has has
Not other adults? So students aren’t adults even in a supposedly supportive professor’s mind?
SpotterEDU, developed by a former basketball coach, is designed to monitor a user’s attendance by “pinpoint[ing] students within a classroom until they leave, providing continuous, reliable and non-invasive attendance,
Can anyone spot the gaping flaw in that system? Anyone? Bueller?

What a disheartening week. One of our engineers is on vacation and it feels like all the work dried up.
Just got home from the orthopedist with the wife. She had tweaked her ankle a week and a half ago and it was still really swollen. She hasn’t ridden in a week and it’s driving me nuts. Happily, it just turned out to be a simple strain and the swelling is already going down. Ice and an ankle brace and hopefully she can be back on the pony next week.
In addition, she finally agreed a couple of days ago to have respite care come in for six hours, two days a week. We start next Wednesday. It’s going to be rough going in the beginning, but my fingers are crossed.
As for me, it appears that I’ve been pouring a bit heavier since my last physical. I’m pretty much a teetotaler for a while and I have to give blood every eight weeks to get rid of the stratospheric level of iron in my system. I feel like I could hang refrigerator magnets off myself. If you’d like Mojeaux, I could send you a pint and we could cure your anemia in one treatment.
Screw that. Take my blood Mo and you won’t have to sleep…ever again.
Take mine and live forever….
/you may not like it..
I’d offer my blood, but I doubt you want it.
The last mosquito that bit me spent 90 days in Betty Ford trying to dry-out.
HEY YUFUS!
SUP TRES! last mosquito that bit bit me just dropped to the floor, stoned…….
Like this?
Pass that shit!
i hope it works for you, Spud. A good sign she agreed, no?
Have you always had super high iron?
“hopefully she can be back on the pony”
euphemism?
“stratospheric level of iron in my system”
Do they know the cause?
Magnetic field, I believe.
That whole album is great.
Magnetic field?
Very nice.
That guy used to hang out at my favorite bar. And it was the East Village, not the Lower East Side.
Not sure what that means, but the local hipster station ha played them.
Added to Spotify for more exploration!
Thanks!
East Village is hipster gays and gutter punks. The adjacent Lower East Side is proto-gentrification and oceans of slummy projects.
I have 69 Love Songs somewhere. Nice and eclectic.
Ah, gotcha!
When he chews nails, he _really_ chews nails.
Needs Magneto….
I wish for the best for you.
