Humans, apparently, throw like gods
I did read somewhere that our brains are really good at calculating where to throw to hit something in motion.
Granted you need practice to get good, but supposedly we are wired for it.

TIL The Katy Freeway in Houston, TX was expanded in 2008 to 26 lanes (one of the widest in the world) and 5 years later had longer peak travel times than before the expansion
Houston is commonly used as an example for what NOT to do, when it comes to civil planning and development.

'Yellowstone' star Lainey Wilson testifies AI using her voice was 'gut punch': 'It is a personal violation'
The story doesn't say how she was victimized. It has a link, but it just circles back to the same article. Shitty ass Fox.

Bernie Sanders response...
Hmm. Great cover for the real gunman, don't you think? He is pretty spry for an old man.

Colbert is still the most lucrative thing in that timeslot. they were STILL making money. They have nothing else to put in that slot that will get them anything even close to that.

In a way, Tasha Yar's fate actually worked out really well for the series
They killed her because they wanted to fire her, right? At least that's what I seem to recall.

[TIL] Soil did not exist before Cenozoic period (the period since the Dinosaur mass extinction event)
It did, just no soil that exists today is older that the Cenozoic period. The same Wiki says there are fossilized soil samples from as far back as the Archean period.

I would not wish this on anybody. It's a terrible diagnosis and I feel bad for her and her family.

The moment when a navy fighter jet broke the sound barrier
A. This doesn't look real.
B. This layer stays with the plane as it pushes subsonic air into supersonic. So it is the moment, that particular space of air goes supersonic, not the jet itself.

Ten ways for Kamala Harris to win my vote
"I would be shocked if Harris adopted even one of these proposals..." Yeah, because the majority of these all bad faith. GTFO with this fantasy land nonsense. Surprised one of your planks isn't "Bring back dragons." or "Grant 3 wishes."
I will give you #2, 5, and 6 though. They at least, seem somewhat rational/achievable. #5 isn't really enforceable though. You'll always have outside money influence elections. Why tie up healthcare with union representation and living wage? Make them separate issues.
This is mostly just fantasy land garbage that just shows you don't know anything about running a modern nation, or how politics work. If this really is Claudia's platform, well... she shouldn't be running anything larger than a supermarket.

Khalil Gibran, "Do Not Love Half Lovers".
Very nice.
Reminds me of Pablo Neruda's poem, "Ode to a Couple".
