Nothing says the gubmint should stay the hell out of the people’s business quite like the State policing uteri in vitro. And nothing says jobs jobs and more jobs quite like restricting reproductive rights. Which helps explain why small government poser and spawn of Paul, aka Rand, has a critical addition to a routine bill on flood insurance: [Read more…]
And by hot I mean 7 trillion degrees. That’s the temperature reached by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider or RHIC. Actually 7.2 trillion °F to be precise, making it the hottest temperature acheived by humans, and hotter than anything else we know of in the universe since the first nano-nano second after the bang.
I despise them. I loath them. I hate them. I’m talking of course about computers, specifically windows PCs. Computers were once a blast for me. Tons of fun to play with, I liked them. But that’s back when they were more of a curiosity than a daily necessity. That’s all changed; try applying for a job with out one these days. As a hobby, they’re still fun.
