Defending the castle

“A thief in Cleveland, Ohio tried to walk a victim back into his house at gun point when someone in the house busted caps on him. The criminal was pronounced DOT (dead over there) after he transported himself to the hospital.”

Fox8Cleveland says the dead dude dropped two handguns and ran away after he was shot. Two pistols, and he’s dropped by a good guy from the house. Ta-da.

(Picky: The good shooter was not one of the bad guy’s “victims.” Through a well-placed shot, he saved his friend and kept himself from being a victim.)

Waiting since 1945. Or maybe 1939

Poland’s Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz to 4th Infantry Division soldiers:
“We have waited for you for a very long time. We waited for decades, sometimes feeling we had been left alone, sometimes almost losing hope, sometimes feeling that we were the only one who protected civilization from aggression that came from the east."

Armed Mom 2; thieves 0

“Allen Thompson and a friend tried to force their will on a family in Columbus, Ohio. When they started moving towards the children in the home, Mom, Jessica Robinson got her gun and opened up on the thieves. The criminals fired on the house as they fled the scene and Jessica returned fire. Both of the thugs were found wounded at the hospital by police.”

"I know there's a damn good chance we'd be dead right now if I hadn't grabbed my gun like I did," Robinson said. "My immediate life was in danger so I shot."

‘For each free man you will find eight women’

So says the director of a Kazakhstan marriage agency, commenting on demographics in the capital city Astana.

Tatiana Logvinenko: “If among the men you take out those who are married, alcoholics, drug addicts, gay or in prison, well, in Astana for example, for each free man you will find eight women. And the figures are the same for the whole country.”

Logvinenko’s customers “come mainly from women aged 32 and over. Single women seeking husbands are typically highly educated, self-reliant and employed in good positions, but fated by their lifestyles to being without a family.”

Waiting for California exiles? Who else would pay that much?

An internet ad for five acres in Bonner County, Idaho -- $114,000. By Old Math, that works out to be a whole bunch per acre. Selling points? The land has a shop that could be turned into a “tiny house” to meet the current HGTV-created craze. And … And, there is a house trailer that “could be moved or used for storage.”

Wait a minute! First, spending more than $22,000 an acre. Then, moving a perfectly good trailer. Then, turning a storage building into a house.

Whatever somebody wants to do with his money.

I’m with her and hopey change

What to say? HaHaHa, or Boo Hoo.

“It feels like there are just thousands of us trying to find a job, and there are no jobs.”

More seasoned Clinton aides had tried to warn the younger generations who’d spent their whole adulthoods under President Obama that Democratic dominance wasn’t necessarily permanent.

“Never count on a Democratic administration,” Patel recalled being told. “I was like, ‘Oh, come on, this is gonna be great.’”

Here’s a clue for you all: Often sucks, reality does.

Some things simply are not measurable or definable

“Physics works under a very clear framework. In order to determine the time evolution of a system, we need to state its initial conditions, the state of the system at time zero. This implies knowledge of the system at the beginning, something we obtain through measurement. In cosmology, that becomes impossible. We may restrict the initial conditions and the values of the fundamental constants given what we know about the universe today, but we can’t be sure that our conclusions are in any way final. The clues we gather today about the universe’s distant past can only give us a fragmented picture of what happened. The multiverse only pushes the issue of initial conditions to a higher level, without solving it.”

Mr. Marcelo Gleiser says string theory was to bring forth The Formula that would Explain Everything. Alas, first experiments on the European super-collider brought questions about the mere existence of the string makeup. Instead of one-universe-fits-all answer, “Physicists were shocked to find, instead of a single solution, a huge number of solutions—by some estimates, a 1 followed by 500 zeros, each a different twist in the extra-dimensional space, each generating a different universe.”

Mr. Gleiser mentions “First Cause” as a start point of existence. There was Nothing, then there was Everything. Physicists do not talk about the possibility of This Is The Way It Has Always Been. Not in public, anyway.

Nimrod’s theory was, “If we pile enough stones atop each other, we can reach heaven.” That didn’t work so well, either, although Scientific Consensus of the time said, "Of course!"
