Let me tell you a little bit about these. I bought two for my kitchen cabinets.
They're rechargeable, held on by self stick magnets, and were real easy
to install (like five minutes). Trust me on these - they work great...

Florida Woman strikes again!
Unhinged Florida woman beats pregnant driver, attacks elderly bystander, and bites cop in road rage rampage...
Mandolyn Shaffer-Brockwell was accused of unleashing the traffic-fueled tirade in the middle of a busy Orlando roadway near the Mall of Millenia, the Orlando Police Department said, as it shared footage of the chaotic scene on X Friday morning.
The video captured the 37-year-old suspect bursting from her white Kia, charging toward a white SUV and attempting to jump onto the hood, before ripping open the driver’s door and pummeling the woman inside. The victim, who told Shaffer-Brockwell she was pregnant and had a kid in the car while being socked in the face, said the violent outburst began after she honked at the suspect, who repeatedly stopped her vehicle abruptly and refused to let her change lanes.
A 68-year-old woman at a nearby light witnessed the frenzied attack and tried to intervene, only for the raging suspect to scream at her to get back in her car before clawing at her face. The video showed Shaffer-Brockwell swiping at the senior as another man stepped in between them. The unhinged woman then walked back to her car screaming.
The raging driver sped off, but when a cop caught up and tried to arrest her, she allegedly sunk her teeth into his arm after he wrestled her to the ground, the police bodycam footage showed.

Disincentiving the Blue...
You have to understand the officer's mindset on this. All police pensions in most major cities are based on the averages of salary plus overtime in the last three years of their service.
Most cops - no matter the rank - bang the shit out of whatever overtime they can get during that time period to average up their paychecks so that their pension will be higher. It makes perfect sense for them, if you think about it. They didn't create the system, and it's my belief they have every right to do it, especially for the rank officers.
If you take away the incentive to continue working, why would they? My father retired as a Captain on the Newark, NJ PD after working 38 years. That length of service is extraordinary, of course, but he loved his job and wanted to stay as long as he could.
For the last three years+ that he worked, he was an Inspector - the highest rank short of Police Chief. The Police Commissioner (at that tine a politically-appointed black man working for a black Mayor and black City Council) demoted him to Captain under some bullshit race-related 'equal rights' thing, and fucked him out of thousands of dollars a year in pension benefits. He retired the next day and the Force lost a great Officer.

The biggest problem with those moolahs is...
Ya know I don't like to make fun of himself, but he may have opened a true can of worms over there for just one reason. Well, actually there's a whole bunch of reasons - not the least of which is that those people in power over there are bat-shit fuckin' crazy.
They kill their own people for protesting. They hate America because of it's freedoms, ferfucksake. They make their women cover everything but their eyes for god-knows what friggin' reason, and, if nothing else, they are just some downright hatefull motherfuckers who think martyrdom is a good idea. All the other crazy shit they do makes them a formidable oppponent - kind of reminds of that scene in the Monty Python movie with the sword fight - you know the one. Well, that's kinda what these asswipes are like, but maybe worse...

Well, many beers and about five hours later I finally made it back up in to my suite and told my brother that I'd won about $ 13,000 in that short time. When I showed him the wad of bills, he insisted on doing this. Helluva day.
Oh - and I did cash in the tournament that year, so we (well I, anyway) went back home seriously flush. Doesn't happen too often, does it?

Where do the stars go when they go away?
The star, known as M31-2014-DS1, didn’t erupt in a spectacular supernova. There was no brilliant explosion lighting up space. Instead, its core appears to have quietly collapsed under its own gravity, forming a black hole directly. By combining new telescope observations with more than a decade of archived data, a research team led by Kishalay De at the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute reconstructed the most detailed timeline yet of a star undergoing this silent transformation.
The pattern was remarkable. Around 2014, the star brightened in infrared wavelengths. By 2016, its visible brightness had dropped sharply. By 2023, it had dimmed to just one ten-thousandth of its original optical luminosity — effectively vanishing. Yet in the mid-infrared, a faint glow remains, coming from dust expelled from the star’s outer layers rather than consumed entirely.
Internal convection appears to have given the outer material enough angular momentum to orbit the newly formed black hole instead of plunging straight inward, allowing it to feed slowly over decades rather than in a sudden burst.
Only about 1% of the outer envelope ultimately fell into the black hole. And this wasn’t a one-off event - a previous case, NGC 6946-BH1, showed the same behavior. Some of the universe’s most massive stars don’t explode when they die. They simply fade away into darkness.

Planning on flying soon? Here's a couple ideas that might help...
Checking live wait times and using special programs intended to let passengers bypass the lines are key hacks, even with the delays which have plagued American airports since Feb. 14, when federal funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, ran out.
Wait times for security checkpoints are posted on the TSA’s MyTSA app, but travel experts warn the data may be outdated during the shutdown. “Do not trust the TSA wait times right now, because the apps and websites are not updated regularly,” said Clint Henderson, a managing editor at the online travel website the Points Guy.Instead, check the real-time data on the airport’s website or app to get to the correct info.
Some other ideas?
- Finding another checkpoint with a shorter line. Passengers aren’t obligated to use the one closest to their gates.
- Use TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, a program that allows those who are enrolled to stop a moment for a face scan, then keep going toward X-ray machines. The downside? It’s only available from some airlines, including Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest and United.
- Another option is to join the $209 a year Clear+, the biometric security program that operates in 60 airports and lets travelers to jump to the front of the line and bypass the government’s ID-check step.
- The CLEAR APP also launched a “Know When to Leave” tool.
The Brits love 'The Old West'? Who knew?
Members dress in authentic clothing, adopt historical personas, and recreate everything from poker nights to staged shootouts, giving visitors a surprisingly immersive glimpse into the mythology of the American West.
What makes Laredo fascinating is how it reflects Britain’s long‑standing cultural fascination with the Wild West, which dates back to the 19th century when Buffalo Bill’s touring shows captivated European audiences.
Instead of being a tourist attraction, Laredo is a private passion project, built, maintained, and performed entirely by volunteers who gather every other weekend to “live” in the Old West for a few days. It’s a blend of craftsmanship, historical curiosity, and pure escapism, showing how powerful and enduring the frontier myth remains even thousands of miles from the real American West.

We tend to forget that WWII was also fought on North American soil...
A Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina Flying Boat of Patrol Squadron
VP-61 in flight during a patrol in the Aleutians.
March 1943 - VP-61 was based at Otter Point Naval Air Facility, Umnak Island, Alaska (USA), at that time. In the Battle of the Aleutian Islands (June 1942-August 1943) during World War II (1939-45), U.S. troops fought to remove Japanese garrisons established on a pair of U.S.-owned islands west of Alaska. In June 1942, Japan had seized the remote, sparsely inhabited islands of Attu and Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands.
It was the only U.S. soil Japan would claim during the war in the Pacific. The maneuver was possibly designed to divert U.S. forces during Japan’s attack on Midway Island (June 4-7, 1942) in the central Pacific. It’s also possible the Japanese believed holding the two islands could prevent the U.S. from invading Japan via the Aleutians. Either way, the Japanese occupation was a blow to American morale.
In May 1943, U.S. troops retook Attu and three months later reclaimed Kiska, and in the process gained experience that helped them prepare for the long “island-hopping” battles to come as World War II raged across the Pacific Ocean.

How's that whole 'I hate Elon' thing working for you?
Elon Musk has offered to pay the salaries of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers during the ongoing partial government shutdown that is causing travel chaos nationwide. Wait times to pass security have stretched to more than two hours in some airports around the US after TSA workers’ pay was stopped, causing staffing shortages.
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest in the world, lines reached up to 125 minutes on Saturday morning. In Houston, George Bush Intercontinental Airport saw delays of up to 150 minutes, while New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport topped 30 minutes.
TSA officers make about $50,000 per year on average, according to The New York Times. Musk, the richest man in the world, is valued at $814.3 billion. The partial government shutdown stems from a congressional deadlock over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees TSA.
As of Saturday morning, at least 1,350 delays and 80 cancelations had been reported across the country, according to FlightAware.
