Human Sacrifice Has Never Worked But...
I'd like to think that at the end of this nightmare, there will be a national consensus about which governors were as destructive as Trump in their responses to the pandemic and that they're all tossed into a live volcano like on that Spectrum TV commercial. I'm not even talking about the governors who were slow to react before they fully understood the gravity of them problem-- like Cuomo or Newsom, each of whom learned how badly they screwed up and moved to improve. I'm talking about the governors who refused to learn *after* it was clear how horrific the pandemic would be-- a... more »

Small, Repeated Explosions Can Still Do Major Damage To Our Military
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* What happens when U.S. soldiers are exposed to small but repeated explosions, including when they fire shoulder-mounted rocket launchers? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *What’s interesting here is the evidence that soldiers suffer from blast even when they are not direct victims of shell or bomb explosions. Just as aircraft mechanics can develop hearing loss from constant exposure to jet engines, it appears that “routine” combat tasks—such as firing a rocket launcher—can affect the nervous system of those exposed to the blast.
