I guess it’s just part of the “political goon mindset” to want to be photographed standing in front of important-looking things. Donald Trump and his nachos, Kim Jong Un and his nuclear weapons explosive-lens carving CNC machine, and Rouhani by his breeder reactor control panel.
How do you steal intellectual property from a capitalist? Just grab it off the boardroom table.
Standardized testing (and its evil offspring, IQ testing) are an expression of people’s desire to determine other peoples’ worth without having to actually get to know them. It’s pervasive, and unfortunately it’s better than some alternatives because it turns out that a lot of people will simply reject a client because of their skin color, gender, attractiveness, etc. In other words, standardized testing may suck but it’s not as bad as letting other people make hiring/admission decisions.
An old friend of mine has become a “near vegan househusband” so I thought he could use a slicer.
The frame for the hot forge building has been sitting there, upright and ready for the slab to be poured, and … pouring it’s been. We’ve gotten a tremendous amount of rain this spring.
Back in 1999 I rescued a large snapping turtle who was trying to cross the highway. As soon as I put it down on the verge it grabbed the edge of my shoe and bit a chunk out of it. I guess that is a way of showing appreciation. It’s not a good way, it’s just a way.

Just a reminder: messing with another country’s civilian power grid is a crime against humanity.
I’ve been wondering that, myself. Presumably the answer is somewhere between “yuge” and “outrageous.”
