I also like how instead of doing a genetics test to punish the criminal responsible they are instead adopting a policy which treats every single male staff member as a criminal. Brilliant. What a weird medical facility.

It's not actually clear from the article if that's a policy that came from the facility itself, or from the Arizona Department of Health, or from one or more of the un-named law enforcement agencies.

Was chatting about old school physics lesson, you know the sort teacher chucking in various reactive metals into a dish of water and letting the children observer without safety googles etc

Made me think about our old physics teacher, Beaky Anderson, a WW2 bomber pilot; I wonder where I could find his service record?  :bowler:

Why did Stalin only write in lowercase?
Because he was afraid of capitalism.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The man who planned the attack on the USS Cole just got droned in Yemen, 18 years after the attack.

I thought this might appeal to a certain segment of Languish:

FIBER LASERS MEAN RAY GUNS ARE COMING!!!

:o :o :o

There's an embedded video of a the navy's Laser Weapon System in the article.  As the first comment notes the laser gun doesn't actually go "Pew pew" and you can't see the lasers, so it's still a work in process.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yeah, need to work on the sound. It's a start, though.
