Does Pence Have Coronavirus Already-- And Who Has He Spread It To In The White House?
*CoronavirusCzar Mike Pence by Nancy Ohanian* One in 10 members of the Iranian parliament (the Majlis) has tested positive for coronavirus. Yesterday, a close Pelosi ally in Congress told me she;'s considering adjourning Congress for "a while." The feeling in the non-denying House is that members of Congress are out in every corner of the country shaking hands and then coming back to Washington in close quarters with each other-- and then go blackout to their districts to shake hands with more people.

The Principle Of Entropy In Human Affairs
The principle of entropy is immanent in the universe; this means that everything in the universe naturally moves towards greater and greater chaos if it is left to itself. Even the things created by human beings cannot transcend entropy. Everything—cultural and traditional groupings, religions and philosophical movements, familial and business associations, and even the nations as a whole—will fall into disrepair and decay, and then break apart, unless regular efforts are made to keep them in a healthy state. The fight against the forces of entropy is imperative and never-ending.

Bowie knives - what's the best low-cost, high-value version?
I've had an interesting e-mail exchange with a friend over the past few days. He wants to buy a Bowie-style knife, but he's budget-limited, and furthermore isn't a knife expert or aficionado in any way. He wanted advice; but I'm not an expert in the field, so I was limited in what I could suggest. We tossed ideas back and forth for a while, and came up with two sets of criteria. The first is for the best *budget* Bowie knife; low-cost, but high value-for-money in terms of quality, functionality, etc. We set an arbitrary limit of fifty dollars as a maximum price. The second c... more »

Late in the 1950s, the Soviet Navy’s nuclear-powered submarines—starting with the November-class attack submarine—could dive twice as deep as most of their American counterparts and often had higher maximum speed.
