Turns out the “QAnon Shaman” was *escorted* by Capitol Hill Police throughout the building. Video has *finally* been released that overturns The Approved Narrative. It would be nice if the 40,000 or so hours of footage that the Democrat-controlled House sat on for political purposes, now being released, would lead to some changes. Political prisoners…
How about NO: Government considered killing all domestic cats at start of Covid pandemic Ministers briefly considered ordering all domestic cats in Britain to be killed amid fears they could be spreading Covid, a former health minister has said. … “In fact, there was an idea at one moment that we might have to ask…
There is one “Blockbuster” video rental store surviving, in Bend, Oregon. Given that Blockbuster went bankrupt in 2010, it’s a bit surprising that one exists at all. The surviving store appears to exist on nostalgia; tourists taking in the novelty of The Last Blockbuster. Well, whatever works. Kids these days will never know the thrill…
A program progress film from 1959 describing the US Army’s “Saturn” rocket. This would soon be transferred to NASA, eventually becoming the Saturn I (then Ib).

As illustrated it’s lopsided… radial engine (Wright R-2600) on the starboard wing, inline (Allison V-1710-F-2) in the port wing. This would indicate engine possibilities, not…
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…
