Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
So I have bragged on here a few times about my shooting prowess. I’ve posted some of my results shooting my Crosman 1377 pump-action pellet pistol. I’ve posted about how I was unable to sight in my Hatsan 125 Striker pellet rifle, and how they agreed to replace it based on my description of it’s [...]
So… in the week and a half since I sent the Hatsan back for a replacement, I’ve not seen, nor smelled, the skunk I got the gun to deal with… Maybe he left…
The planet lies in what they describe as a ‘habitable zone’, neither too near its sun to dry out or too far away which freezes it. And the discovery could help answer the question of whether we are alone in the universe, which has been plagued astronomers and alien fanatics for years. Scientists found the [...]
I’m freaking old. I haven’t played golf since my father passed away five years ago. Today I took a day off and played a round of golf. I have always walked the course and used one of those hand-drawn club carriers. So I didn’t even think of it when I paid for my round and [...]
One of the favorite memes of righty bloggers is to mock Al Gore for having claimed to invent the internet. Today Al Gore is one of the first inductees into the “Internet Hall of Fame”. The group’s description of Gore states: “Al Gore, the 45th Vice President of the United States, was a key proponent [...]
So… Let’s say that we approach the Singularity and as part of that transformative exponential explosion of technology we discover a way to quickly and efficiently terraform the planet Venus, reducing it’s atmosphere to earth-like densities and changing the composition to be nearly identical to earth’s nitrogen/oxygen/CO2/Water vapor mix. As part of that a system [...]
Certainly don’t want to get my hopes or expectations up, but I do feel it is worth commenting on the performance of the Romney campaign during the first two weeks of their “presumed Republican nominee” status. Obama’s official and unofficial campaign effort fired multiple shots at Romney in the past two weeks. The three shots [...]
Well, someone with some actual cash is actually going to pursue exactly the space exploitation approach I’ve been championing for literally all of my adult life. This is good news. James Cameron, Google Founder Back Space-Mining Venture – WSJ.com. A new company backed by two Google Inc. GOOG -0.54% billionaires, film director James Cameron and [...]
Since I gave the contestants on the History Channel reality show “Top Shot” grief about their inability to hit a 2 foot diameter target at 200 yards, I thought I should comment on last night’s episode. For whatever reason, the shooting last night was absolutely amazing. Every single contestant made me feel inadequate. Usually I [...]
Yeah, the silly season is on us early this year. News has broken that our President ate dog meat as a child. (Stolen from Instapundit) This is just too, too funny.
