So.  No one here to discuss about the new Afghan plan?  The one so secret even the generals seem clueless about it?

Was it a very good plan, or a very very good plan? If it's just a very good plan then there is nothing to get excited about yet.

What "new" Afghan plan?

It probably has something to do with Afghanistan though.  Surely Trump's babysitters will get at least that part right.

The idea that it is dangerous to look very briefly into the sun - solar eclipse or not - is really stupid.

No, it's quite true that it's dangerous to look directly at the sun, eclipse or not.  It's not hugely dangerous--people do it every day with no harm done, but there is a danger.

The idea that it's more dangerous to look directly at the sun during an eclipse is quite stupid.  But generally, when they say not to, they're not saying that because they think it's more dangerous during an eclipse, but simply because more people are likely to look during an eclipse.

And twitter had a lot of people saying they had stared at it with and their eyes hurt...

They are stupid if they stared at the sun. A quick glance is harmless though.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Nope. I didn't vote for him, I don't live in his jurisdiction and nor do I pay him any taxes. :yeah:

Not sure if America will survive that long.   ;)
