Quote of the Day The principle that heat spontaneously flows from higher temperatures to lower temperatures is a cornerstone of classical thermodynamics. While this principle holds true for macroscopic systems at equilibrium, here we show that, when a quantum system … Continue reading →

Ubiquitous Flock cameras have provoked outrage on both sides of the American political spectrum, as witness the following: The Intercept News from the States AP News DeFlock Enough from me: what’s you readers’ take on the Flock camera issue?Something weird with Orcas started around 6 years ago in the Straight of Gibraltar: Orca pods started ramming sailing boats. Hundreds of boats have been attacked, so many that there is a Wikipedia page about the situation.
Well it seems that yachtsmen have started returning fire:
I dunno - a pellet gun is maybe not my first choice. But since this is Europe, it may be the best option they have.
Investigators said the 39-year-old went to the residence to confront another man about an alleged debt. Police said the resident, a 47-year-old Kerrville man, met him at the door, and the 39-year-old is accused of brandishing a knife during the confrontation. Police said the resident shot him.
Police said the resident is cooperating with detectives and has been interviewed. Based on preliminary information, detectives believe the resident acted in self-defense, police said.
Cheers!
But after spending a couple late summer days on a range in the bottomlands near the Wabash where the swampass is so bad you’ve nearly got beads of sweat trickling down your ass crack, I’m a believer.
“After the shooting, the victim was alert and walking and did not appear to have life-threatening injuries when he was transported by EMS to a local hospital,” the city said in a release.
The police department said it believes the juvenile was targeted and that there is no indication of a public threat.
The juvenile reportedly fired shots back at the suspect, police said.
Officers were initially dispatched to the 900 block of 47th Place North following a report of a burglary in progress. While officers were responding, the call was upgraded to a report of shots fired and a person wounded.
When officers arrived, they found Hamilton suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Birmingham Fire and Rescue transported him to UAB Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Someone asked recently about Cowboy Fast Draw shooting, what is the degree of angle that the muzzle has to fall in to hit the target. We know several things and the rest of it is just basic trigonometry.
Width of the base (target) is 17.1875 inches
Distance to target is 180 inches (15 feet).
So, it's a matter of doing the trig, or using a suitable calculator. By plugging in values, we learn that the apex angle of such a triangle is 5.47 degrees.
And now we know, mathematically. The muzzle of the revolver has to be within an arc of 5.47 degrees to hit the target.
🚨Report: North Carolina Democrats have withdrawn support for State House candidate Shelly Headen after she called for violence against Republicans and compared herself to Jesus Christ

It gets worse when read in full. Fortunately, North Carolina has nothing in common with Alabama and Louisiana.
9/11/26 College Fix article about a law professor who claims
“care and accountability circles work better” than prison for those who have committed rape or other sex crimes...
More interesting:
Spade has been teaching at Seattle University, a private Catholic institution, since 2008, and has published numerous articles and books on transgender culture and abolition. Two years ago, the professor gave the talk “No Prisons, No Borders, No Cops, No State?” at New York University Law School’s Annual Rose Sheinberg Lecture. [emphasis added]
“No Prisons, No Borders, No Cops, No State?” Yes, anarchy leads to lynchings and private vengeance without the limiting protection of a judicial system. He also left out "No lawyers, no law schiool professors." Without prisons and cops, what purpose does a lawyer and therefore law professor serve?
"Is the Pope Catholic?" needs updating.
Rigby v. Jennings (D.Del. 2026). Delaware banned ghost manufacture, assembly, possession, sale, and digital instructions for making them. Digital instruction ban constitutional although I notice the ban seems pretty narrowly focused:
And that may very well be because § 1463(c)(2) is framed in functional terms, i.e., it is limited to computer files or code “that may be used to program a 3 dimensional printer to manufacture or produce a firearm, firearm receiver or major component of a firearm.”
That seems to not prohibit gCode for operating a CNC mill.
With that, the Possession Ban concerns “Arms,” and because it prohibits keeping arms and applies to all members of the political community, it is presumptively unconstitutional at Bruen’s first step. Wolford, 146 S. Ct. 2043-44.
Distribution ban:
The problem there is that the Distribution Ban does not regulate self manufacturing firearms and Plaintiffs have offered no evidence that any of these regulations limit their access to the items and materials necessary to self-manufacture firearms; all they provided was attorney argument. See Rigby, 630 F. Supp. 3d at 614 (“Attorney argument is not evidence.”). The Distribution Ban passes under Bruen’s first step.
Manufacturing and Assembly ban:
But prohibiting possession of firearms that are currently lawfully owned or future manufacturing and assembly of the same does place restrictions on keeping and bearing firearms. So the Possession and Manufacturing and Assembly Bans fail at Bruen’s first step.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man has been charged with assault and burglary, and his alleged accomplice was shot and killed by the victim, police said.
It happened at a Frayser apartment complex on Madewell around 4:40 a.m. Tuesday.
When authorities arrived at the scene, they located a Devonta Johnson suffering from a gunshot wound, MPD said.
A shooting in a Florida parking lot several weeks ago sparked considerable debate in the armed citizen community. Our friend who on the internet goes by Colion Noir explains, here: Dr. Todd Grande weighs in here: The prosecutor’s office has announced that since they cannot prove she acted wrongly, she will not be charged.What’s y’all’s […]
It was a mental game I'd play at the turn of the century. My porch in Natchitoches Parish had a good view of the sky and I'd look at the contrails crossing the sky. Southwest to est northeast? Probably the Houston - Atlanta route. Southeast to Northwest, probably New Orleans to Dallas. It was just a mental game, wondering where all those people were going.
On the afternoon of 9/11 I went back to work, doing a night shift before a couple of days off. Getting off work on Wednesday morning, I stopped by Wal Mart to buy an American flag, but they were sold out. I headed home, ready for a nap, and when I got out of the truck, I looked up at the sky. Nothing. No contrails at all. The FAA had closed all the airspace on the United States.
Growing up in central Louisiana, there was always something in the sky. Commercial air, military traffic, general aviation. Even little crop dusters buzzing around. For the first time in my life I was looking at a sky without aviation. It was decidedly odd, and quiet.
