Assorted Meanderings: Chutzpah or.... can we say the President wants to ban guns now?
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2015/06/chutzpah-or-can-we-say-president-wants.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Chutzpah or. can we say the President wants to ban guns now? So a man who wishes he could ban and confiscate guns after a mass shooting laments people buying guns after a mass shooting out of fear they'll be banned and confiscated. The Guardian has the details. On the president's ire:. Gun buy-back is a fuzzy euphemism for confiscation. And the article ends with this:. Gee Mr. President, maybe people won't go out and rush to buy guns if you weren't up there talking about how g...

Assorted Meanderings: June 2014
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. But it's not bad when the Federal Pork brings us things we like! Well, I've seen another example of why Congress is so fucked up. I've got a friend who's really into gay rights. And unfortunately his Congressman is a real ball-buster "family values", traditional marriage scold. You know those preachy guys who make your skin crawl? And of course my friend isn't too fond of this guy. My friend is really big into municipal parks redevelopment. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wednesday Augu...

Assorted Meanderings: CNN's Smart Take on SC Church Massacre .... blame gun shows?
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2015/06/cnns-smart-take-on-sc-church-massacre.html
Friday, June 19, 2015. CNN's Smart Take on SC Church Massacre . blame gun shows? At least if you can believe the "CNN Wire NEW YORK" byline. Sure it starts out with the gun show loophole lie. But then it gets stranger. But gun buyers don’t have to go through a background check when they make a purchase at a gun show. You won’t find them in cities like New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., where gun laws are far more restrictive.". Huh, kinda sounds like the mere existence. The President’s effort ...

Assorted Meanderings: October 2014
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Why they haven't even cleared the scene yet. Not that that will stop these ghouls. What makes this school shooting. Is that it's happening in a state that has a Private Sale Ban on the ballot. And thus we have DR710's comment (at noon) within hours of the shooting. Let's guess he got the guns from his gun loving parents like the majority of school shooters. one less gun nut. too bad for the innocent victims. YES ON I594 NO ON 591. But the main thing to note is this: DR is presum...

Assorted Meanderings: A blast from the Atomic and Jet Age past!
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-blast-from-atomic-and-jet-age-past.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. A blast from the Atomic and Jet Age past! Basically use lasers to generate micro fusion reactions. This generates thrust out the back. And on the front the high energy neutrons excite a uranium coating a thrust plate. Said plate then heats up coolant which is run through turbines. which power the lasers. So it's kind of like a lighter version of the Direct Air Cycle design for the old Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion program. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View From The Porch.

Assorted Meanderings: Stross Equiod: A Rambling review.
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2015/07/stross-equiod-rambling-review.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. Stross Equiod: A Rambling review. Okay I'm amused when a writer who has a series that's basically HP Lovecraft Applied Mathematics; Comp Sci division. Who devotes much of an entire short story to mocking Lovecraft. Not just his purple prose and the man's. issues). But more taking the piss of the man's creative chops and bemoaning his literary influence (this particular series is first person so it's a bit difficult to separate author from character). And that's not even getting int...

Assorted Meanderings: September 2014
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. Yeah looks like my best stuff is my away game. But hey at least I made Weerd Beard. S quote of the day. You can go here to read it and his thoughts on it. Saturday, September 20, 2014. Double-think at it's finest. Science isn't a popularity contest! Except when it is. Yeah see Oliver, maybe the person that dedicated a whole segment (including a gaggle extras in lab coats) to the whole "99% of scientists agree! How's that going for you champ? Sunday, September 14, 2014. Oh an...

Assorted Meanderings: August 2014
http://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 23, 2014. The Gear's a symptom. On the whole militarization of the police. The way I see it the equipment is a symptom of a greater problem of the attitude of how procedures are carried out (warrant service, arrest, ect). To be blunt, that a cop has a gun on his hip (or slung over his shoulder) is the *least* scary thing about them. In a free society just about anyone can do *that*. And to go back to the well of Peelian policing. As for which police gear is kosher, I'd say put it on pari...
