They finally found a solution to 'climate change' that makes as much sense as everything else they've said...

 
Millions of tons of moondust kicked up from the lunar surface could help stave off the existential ravages of climate change here on Earth, say the authors of a paper just published in the journal PLOS Climate. The idea is that sometime in the not-too-distant future the fine dust that is ubiquitous on our Moon’s surface could be used to block some two percent of the Sun’s radiation from reaching Earth’s atmosphere.
This moondust could be skimmed off the lunar surface using shallow mining technology and launched via a bank of accelerating mass drivers (electromagnetic catapults) some six times a year. If successful, the dust would be aimed in the direction of the Earth-Sun L1, a gravitationally stable point in space located between the Earth and Sun. Once there, it would linger about a week or so at the time.
Sounds do-able, doesn't it? No wonder the world is so fucked up nowadays. These are the so-called 'experts' we have to go to for answers. Good luck with that...

Impossible to believe this came out 53 years ago.

North Korea demonstrated its missile production muscle during a night-time military parade that showcased more intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) than ever unveiled at one time before and a new launcher that may indicate the development of a new solid-fuel missile system. The parade was held in Pyongyang on Wednesday night to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North Korean army.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attended the parade with his daughter, who is seen as playing a possible future leadership role in the country’s hereditary dictatorship. The ICBMs paraded through the capital demonstrated North Korea’s “greatest” nuclear strike capability, KCNA said, adding that it also featured tactical nuclear units.
Here's something else to think about with these people - How can they afford to do shit like this? They make almost nothing, have little or no export trade, and they're shut off from the rest of the world accept for China. 
Oh, shit - there's the answer right there. Never mind.

Have you seen the new version of the old Harry Anderson 
sitcom 'Night Court'? It's not great, but...
 
The original show was pretty funny for the time, and Markie Post was hotter'n all giddup. 
The original Night Court had a nine-season run from 1984 to 1992, focusing on the night shift of the Manhattan municipal court. The series - then and now - centers around the court's eccentric staff, wacky court cases, and the endlessly hilarious legal practices of Judge Harry T. Stone (although he obviously isn't in the reboot 'cause he's dead). Night Court was a critical success, scoring 31 Emmy nominations and seven wins throughout its nine seasons. 

The new re-boot of the show has a pretty lame cast and tries way too hard to be hip and smarmy, but it has two things going for it. They brought back  John Larroquette, who's a pretty good dead-pan comic, and they have Melissa Rauch starring as Judge Harry Stone's daughter, Abby Stone. It's pretty high-concept and it probably won't make it a full year, but WTF do I know?
I'll tell ya what I know. I remember seeing her on Big Bang Theory and, putting aside the squirrely voice, there was one thing for certain - she is smokin' fuckin' hot.

Yup. That's her. All 4'11" of her. Did I mention she's originally a 'Jersey Girl'? Yup - born in marlboro, NJ. Defense rests...

The frozen ones I can get once in a while at BJ's just aren't nearly as good as the ones at the drive-up window. There's only one White Castle in the whole state of Florida, and it's up by Disney about an hour and fifteen away from here. I've heard horror stories about the drive-up line-wait there being almost an hour, every day, all day. 
They should get their shit together and open one close to my house. I'd be there so often I'd probably spend enough there to pay for paving the friggin' parking lot. Juss' sayin'...

My Uncle Nicky had almost this same exact car when I was a kid. 
The one memory that I have of it was that it was frikkin' HUGE inside, 
and the back seat was more comfortable than my mother's living room couch.

Sen. John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democrat who suffered a stroke during his campaign last year, was hospitalized Wednesday night after feeling lightheaded while attending a Senate Democratic retreat. Initial tests at George Washington University Hospital did not show evidence of a new stroke, Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello, said in a statement issued Wednesday night. Doctors were running more tests and the senator remained at the hospital for observation, according to the statement.
Fetterman, 53, succeeded Republican Sen. Pat Toomey after a hard-fought contest against Republican nominee Mehmet Oz. He defeated the celebrity heart surgeon by 5 percentage points and flipped a seat that was key to Democrats holding the Senate majority. 
More than $300 million was spent during the campaign, the most expensive for the Senate in 2022.

I'm kinda okay with this idea, (I do have a CC permit and do occassionally strap up when called for) but some people are gonna be pretty friggin' squeamish about people walking around healed like in an old western. Wait and see.

  1. I'm lucky, there is a White Castle located less than 10 minutes from me, and when I go to Chicago to see our daughter or son there are 4 within 10-15 away. Pretty much a once week habit for me. $ regular cheeseburgers plain with mustard and a small fry. Just for that I'm stopping there today when I hit Chi Town

  2. These global warming solution ideas they throw around so carelessly and without any agreement or approval from the rest of us inhabitants of this planet are pretty disturbing. They really have no idea what will happen, what unintended consequences will occur. So when it goes wrong, who do we get to throw into the volcanoes? Who do we get to tear apart limb from limb and strew their pieces in the gutters? Because that is what they will deserve.

  3. Why does North Korea have all it's armament you ask?
    Maybe he remembers what happened to Gaddafi after he gave his up?

    The Libyan disarmament issue was peacefully resolved in December 2003 when Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi agreed to eliminate his country's weapons of mass destruction program, including a decades-old nuclear weapons program.

    Muammar Gaddafi, the deposed leader of Libya, was captured and killed on 20 October 2011 after the Battle of Sirte. Gaddafi was found west of Sirte after his convoys were attacked by NATO aircraft. He was then captured by National Transitional Council (NTC) forces and was killed shortly afterwards.[1]

    1. Rob is correct. The babe in the blue bikini is not Melissa. I enjoyed the original Night Court primarily due to Markie. I don't think the reboot is gonna make it, even with Larroquette and Rauch - especially as long as she continues to wear the judge's robe. Might as well put her in a burka. Rauch's ample frontal assets were reasons 3 and 4 why I watched The Big Bang Theory. Kaley Cuoco provided reasons 1 and 2.

  5. On concealed/open carry. Both have the right, but I see the open carry folks doing everyone a service. While the bad guy is focusing his/her attention on the open carry guy, the concealed carry folks have time to draw and aim.
