Russia's New, Bizzare B-2 Look-alike Stealth Drone Is up to Something
*David Axe* *Technology, Europe* [image: Image Credit: Instagram] But what? *The Chkalov satellite imagery indicates Hunter-B has a wingspan of around 50 feet, making it roughly the same size as the X-47B or an Su-34 manned fighter.

A Simple Solution
Block off areas, herd the homeless people into the same busses used to transport prisoners, delouse them, evaluate them, house them, care for their basic needs. The homeless would be better off if they were concentrated away from urban settings. You can call it a concentration camp if you'd like. Tents, latrines, etc. The Army knows how to build these. Surround them with high banks of concertina wire. They'd still be camping, they'd be fed army chow, which is a lot like prison food, but it nourishes. Make appropriate medical care available. But the point is that they'd be camping, ... more »

Philosophy is a Series of Footnotes to Plato
In her 1961 essay, "For The New Intellectual," Ayn Rand writes, "Plato’s system was a monument to the Witch Doctor’s metaphysics." What an outlandish assertion! If she had read a single Platonic dialogue, she would not have attacked Plato without any rhyme or reason. She does not provide a reference to any quote or work of Plato—so it is impossible to understand what she is talking about, but I suspect that she herself didn’t know what she was talking about and neither do her followers. Along with his master Socrates, and his pupil Aristotle, Plato has defined the nature and scope o... more »

*Glenda Korporaal, The Australian:* *Give peace a chance? Not in Hong Kong* Hong Kong is set for a long hot summer of discontent as it braces itself for more protests and tensions are flaring between Hong Kongers over “Lennon Walls” springing up all over the city. Named after John Lennon — who inspired a wall of protest in Prague in the 1980s — Hong Kong has become a new centre of “Lennon Walls”, which are covered in coloured post-it notes, along subway tunnels and walkways and near railway stations, supporting the protest movement. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam this week declared... more »
The Decline of Liberty in the U.S. May Not Be Reversible, Unless…
After 9/11, the balance between liberty and despotism in America took an unprecedented turn in favor of the latter. In previous centuries, America had certainly been put under presidential dictatorship and experienced attacks on constitutional liberties. Remember Lincoln’s imposition of martial law during the Civil War or Wilson’s imprisonments of dissenters during World War I. But with the advent of the War on Terror, the possibility emerged for a much less easily reversible state of… The post The Decline of Liberty in the U.S. May Not Be Reversible, Unless… appeared first on The... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, nearly making it the record holder. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the above below. *Click image for larger size.* Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making ... more »
The Poet: Langston Hughes, “I Dream A World”
*“I Dream A World”* “I dream a world where man No other man will scorn, Where love will bless the earth And peace its paths adorn I dream a world where all Will know sweet freedom's way, Where greed no longer saps the soul Nor avarice blights our day. A world I dream where black or white, Whatever race you be, Will share the bounties of the earth And every man is free, Where wretchedness will hang its head And joy, like a pearl, Attends the needs of all mankind- Of such I dream, my world!” - Langston Hughes
Chet Raymo, “At Home In An Infinite Universe”
*“At Home In An Infinite Universe”* by Chet Raymo “They are questions that bedeviled thinkers for thousands of years: Is the universe infinite or finite, eternal or of a finite age? It is certainly hard to imagine a universe that extends without limit in every direction, or a universe without a beginning or end. It is equally difficult to imagine a finite universe; what is beyond the edge? Or a beginning or end in time; how can something come from nothing? how can what is cease to be? The problems are so intractable philosophically that their resolution has generally been left to ...more »
"The Human Condition"
*"The Human Condition"* by Meanings of Life "Man remains largely unknown of himself. What are we, in our innermost recesses, behind our names and our conventional opinions? What are we behind the things we do in our lives, behind what we see in others and what others see in us, or even behind things science says we are? Is man the crazy being about whom Carl Gustav Jung spoke ironically, when he demanded a man to treat? Is man the Dr. Jerkyll that contains in himself a criminal Mister Hyde, and more than a personality, and contradictory feelings? Are we the result of our dreams, as... more »

I WISH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WERE AS POWERFUL AS RUSH LIMBAUGH THINKS IT IS
If you're like me, you think of the Democratic Party as well-meaning but ineffectual and hapless. To Rush Limbaugh, however, it's all-powerful, or nearly so. Were Democrats committing slow-motion suicide last week when a full-scale civil war broke out within the party? Was the party in the process of ruining its chances in 2020? Limbaugh doesn't think so, as he explained on the radio today: One theory holds that the Democrats have this internecine war going, and that they’re self-destructing and you’ve got these young Squad members taking shots at Pelosi and that the Democrat Party ... more »

"At The End Of The Day..."
"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be a human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe, we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate." - "Grey's Anatomy"

A plumb line is simply a string with a heavy weight tied to its end. Gravity tugs the weight so that the line, if it could continue, would go through the center of the Earth.
