OK, start at the beginning: What is Starlink, exactly? Technically a division within SpaceX, Starlink is also the name of the spaceflight company's growing network -- or "constellation" -- of orbital satellites. The development of that network began in 2015, with the first prototype satellites...

"Life is what happens while you're making plans." Nice to see you back Wolf. I hope the guys that ripped up your house left it in better shape than when they started.

Addressing the leaked preliminary vote to overturn Roe v. Wade Colbert observed: Chief Justice John Roberts was not amused by this news, saying: "I don't blame him for being upset. This leak is a clear violation of the court's right to privacy. How dare someone make this decision for them."...

Children's jokes? Keeping it clean Rampage? Alright. How about this? Why do bicycles fall over? Because they're two tired.

That UN vote tells an interesting story. Which nations sided with Russia? North Korea and a few predictable others. India might be hit somewhat as hard Russia is affected by the sanctions if India loses its energy supply. The market might be more elastic, able to accommodate shifting demand, if...

China & India each deserve consideration. There seems to be some question about whether China or India will emerge as a global leader. Obviously if China accepts military conquest as a legitimate means to expand sovereign control of territory, it lays itself vulnerable to it. India, sometimes...

I like diversity of views. I tried posting at a site where most everyone there supported then president Bush, the young one. It was rather dull. The mystery now is, what will Putin do. It surely doesn't look like he would wish to pack up and go home. So what option is left to him? Escalate...

Thanks sear. I've heard of that monkey brain thing. Here's a source about it. I wouldn't eat it. In fact, if there's a possibility of getting a disease line bovine spongiform encephelopathy, is it worth it? Not to me.

China wouldn't seem to have much to fear from COVID-19. People in the U.S. that don't want to wear masks don't wear masks. That may also mean instead of enjoying their latte at Starbucks they have to settle for plain black coffee from a drive-through window. In China, don't comply with...

Chamberlain to Churchill, quite a leap in style, & Statecraft. I know little about Chamberlain. I gather Chamberlain was a good man, but lacked the Machiavellian ruthlessness necessary to subdue a megalomaniac like Hitler. Reminds me of our President Carter, a very good man but not a very good...

There's more than one way to understand this. Of course, the obvious: - supernatural deity incarnate, wielding power far beyond human capacity. But if we relax the definition to closer to metaphor level, it's no longer a machination of the supernatural alone. O·din (ōdĭn) Share: n...

Looks grim to me Rampage. To understand the breadth of this ongoing disaster I puzzle over what mental state would lead Putin to believe this invasion of Ukraine is a good idea. Vlad! It's NOT ! Go home.

Bloomberg Dollar Surges Versus Almost Everything on Ukraine Conflict Risks (Bloomberg) -- The dollar is rising against virtually every peer as fallout from the deepening conflict in Ukraine supercharges demand for the world’s reserve currency. Most Read from BloombergEU Discusses Sanctions on...

Alright sear, a little satire on your part here? Numerous sources have contrasted Putin's Ukraine invasion to WWII. Biden may cite indications the fastest economic growth in 40 years. But inflation may be Biden's undoing in 2024, IF Biden decides to run again. There's room for doubt that he...
