Vaccines For Children
Denmark is effectively outlawing them.
I think there’s a lot that we are not being told about the “vaccines.”
The Moral Norms Of Tomorrow
How can society prepare?
My Space Podcast
I did this with Marshall and Joel a few weeks ago.
The “Climate Emergency”
There isn’t one.
I agree with this.
The Ukrainian Counteroffensive
…has started with a bang.
Progress In Boca Chica
There has been a static fire of a Superheavy for the first time.
[Update a couple minutes later]
A discussion of the differences between Raptor 1 and Raptor 2. Visually, I’m impressed by the apparent reduction in hardware and complexity of the power head.
Subsidizing Electric Vehicles
That is, subsidizing cars that don’t, and probably won’t exist.
What a clown show these people are.
The TWA Whistleblower
I’ve never bought the official story of what happened to TWA 800. I think the government was gaslighting the witnesses who saw the missiles. This sounds entirely plausible to me, sadly. The only strange thing about it is that people reportedly said that they’d downed an Airbus, when it was a Boeing.
The Manual Transmission
A eulogy.
I’ve driven a stick all my life. I’ve never bought a car with an automatic transmission, and I hope my next car will be a stick as well, because the BMW is getting long in the tooth. Beyond the aesthetics described here, it’s good theft insurance, because most young people don’t know how to drive them.
