The idea that there are bioweapon labs in Ukraine is pretty effectively debunked by Ryan McBeth: The fact that there are *biological* labs in Ukraine strikes me as entirely unsuprising… and entirely to be expected. Ukraine is an agricultural nation, and where you find agriculture *and* modern society, you find laboratories that study agriculture. And…
So by this point it should not be a spoiler that a flashback at the beginning of episode 2 of HBO’s “The Last Of Us” has a scientist realize just what biological horror has been unleashed in Jakarta, Indonesia. In short, it’s a mutated fungus that essentially kicks off a zombie apocalypse. There is no…
Not everyone can have kids, due to physical issues, or bad circumstances, or whatever. Not everyone *should* have kids. Not everyone *wants* kids. Not having kids is not something to be shamed for. But not *wanting* kids is at least a little weird; like it or not, that’s the meaning of existence. Screw supernatural or…

I haven’t seen it, so don’t blame me. But this reviewer *really* didn’t like it: Don’t watch ‘Star Trek: Picard’ season three, it’ll only encourage them The third season is yet another misguided waste of everyone’s time. Whoa. The previews look better than the first two execrable seasons, but that’s a low bar indeed. I…
The video below is a bit yammery, but some important and interesting points are raised, discussed and… dunno. Apparently there’s drama going on among a number of twitch streamers; I’m a bit proud to say I don’t know who the hell these people are, but the crux of the matter is that someone set up…
The Dem-dominated government of the state of Illinois passed an “assault weapon ban” that bans not only commonly owned firearms but also standard capacity magazines as part of their policy of decriminalizing violent crime while criminalizing the law abiding. But the law was so badly written – and badly conceived – that I wonder if…
Have these people watched or read *no* science fiction??? I Edited Human DNA at Home With a DIY CRISPR Kit Genetic engineering using CRISPR from the comfort of home might seem futuristic, but you can do it right now. Oh fookin’ hurray.
The hardware has been modified to “print” up to the full six feet in length (actually a little more, maybe 6’8″). I continue to crank out test prints, with about a 50/40/10 mix of “awesome”/”disappointing”/”dismal.” Now it seems the production part of the project is largely dialed in; it seems that *chemistry* is responsible for…
Because in present Day, everything has to be All About Me… Several years before I left Utah I was contacted by an aerospace historian/ museum feller about a potential project. It seemed that a big tech company was purchasing an old Hughes Aircraft hangar with the intention of turning it into office space; I…
