Even now, as we approach half a million people dead, Republicans refuse to set an example and wear masks, and they’re fighting tooth and nail to block financial assistance for desperate Americans. The GOP is a wholly malevolent force.

re: #43 Charles Johnson
This is why GOP fears a prolonged trial with witnesses. Because they’re going to get themselves implicated as well - felony conduct will attach as witnesses testify under oath - perjury for the liars, misprison for failing to report crimes that were known, and conspiracy/accessory for being involved in the acts leading up to the insurrection.
And the crimes will extend to trying to steal the election - election interference, which is also a felony. That one should worry Graham quite a bit.
re: #38 lawhawk
He is aware that (1) perjury is a crime and (2) the sitting President will not be pardoning him for it. I am confident that his attorneys have painstakingly explained to him that they cannot continue to represent him if he insists on testifying.

So, I finally got to use my canned rebuttals of twitter-level Holocaust denial in response to this:
Moscow - Professor of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Civil Service (RANGiDS) under the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Matveev on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day provoked a loud scandal, advising teachers to tell children that “there was no Holocaust.”
Matveev, a doctor of technical sciences and a retired colonel, held a webinar showing a slide entitled: “The Genocide of the Jews in 1938-1945. There was no Holocaust!” and called the “myth” the extermination of six million Jews.
“In order to burn (the body), you need a furnace with forced injection of oxygen. No such furnaces were found in Germany. So this is another, unfortunately, myth. No gas chambers were found … and this gas was used for disinfection … It was impossible to let six million victims through all the concentration camps. Therefore, this figure, six million, is nothing but fiction … We as representatives of education must carry the truth to the masses. Conclusion: There was simply no Holocaust in that volume, ” the professor said.
I published a condensed rebuttal of his slideshow at a semi-official Russian site, the link is in my FB:

See, this is why I think that wingnuts are best understood as consumers and creators of pornographic material rather than political thought or exploration of ideology.
They can’t differentiate ideas from their own sensual enjoyment of being hateful, judgemental shitheads that like watching people get hurt, resulting in these weird Vaseline-on-the-lens sultry versions of revanchism they type out.

So I preordered a copy of Werewolf The Apocalypse: EarthBlood. So far I am digging it, the graphics are a bit dated and the voice acting is definitely a bit lacking (The main character makes Geralt of Rivia sound downright hysterical with emotion) but the stealth play reminds me a lot of metal gear and the combat is pretty fun.

According to the LA Times article, FOX is keeping Lou Dobbs under contract, so he apparently cannot run off to OANN or Newsmax.

That would be if you were measuring force rather than weight. I’m not sure which way the English saying goes. Maybe both?

Don’t expect Lou Dobbs to take a job with either Newsmax or OANN anytime soon. He’s still under contract with Fox, aside from the likelihood of a no compete clause in his contract, he’s pretty much guaranteed to make more money not working than what those ‘Fox replicants’ can afford to pay him

I just looked it up (wading through garden animals, bands, railroad stock, counterfeit coins, and other uses of the word at Wikipedia)
The slug is a derived unit of mass in a weight-based system of measures, most notably within the British Imperial measurement system and the United States customary measures system. Systems of measure either define mass and derive a force unit or define a base force and derive a mass unit (cf. poundal, a derived unit of force in a force-based system). A slug is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s2 when a force of one pound (lbf) is exerted on it.
They give an equation there to calculate slugs:
1 slug=1 lbf x (second squared/feet)
That’s many more slugs than I ever knew existed.
re: #188 Eclectic Cyborg
Right, isn’t Mass the more appropriate term when talking about how heavy something is?
You retain mass in Zero G, but not weight.
re: #193 austin_blue
You retain mass in Zero G, but not weight.
That Wikipedia article gets better at the end.
The blob is the inch version of the slug (1 blob is equal to 1 lbf⋅s2/in, or 12 slugs)
So that’s what the film was about, obscure physics terms.
re: #193 austin_blue
You retain mass in Zero G, but not weight.
Mass is the measurement of how much matter (or I guess, how much that matter interacts with the Higgs field). It varies with energy and fraction of the speed of light it’s moving relative to observers. So in most cases it’s “constant”.
Weight is force of gravity on that mass.
re: #195 Jack Burton
So the real dumbed down version would be: Mass is how much space you take up and weight relates to how hard it is to move you?
So this is something that makes my heart sing—tiny scraps of purple fabric were found in Israel, and they date to ~1000 BC. If you knew how rare it is to actually get a scrap of anything fabric-like from an ancient site, because fabric mostly rots. The scientists were able to determine that the fabric had been dyed with secretions from murex sea snails, which were used for centuries to make the prized Tyrian purple.
Here’s a story about it: religionnews.com
Here’s the research paper with pictures of the cloth, thread, and snail shells.

re: #196 Eclectic Cyborg
So the real dumbed down version would be: Mass is how much space you take up and weight relates to how hard it is to move you?
More something like this: Mass is how hard it is to move you, and weight is how hard the earth is trying to move you.
re: #188 Eclectic Cyborg
Right, isn’t Mass the more appropriate term when talking about how heavy something is?
Mass is how much ‘stuff’ an object has.
Weight is the force on said mass in a gravitational field.
So in ordinary life, the main manifestation of mass is the weight from earth’s gravity, which never appreciably changes. Thus the easy conflation of mass (fixed property of the object) with weight (depends on both mass and gravity).
(another physics nerd).
