It depends. Some good advice for aspiring physicists.
I was thinking about this yesterday, because I got into a Twitter discussion about vector analysis and energy methods.

The War On Sat Fat
More and more people are starting to spread the word on how scientifically insane it is, including a physician who is a former vegan. Not that I care about Bill Clinton’s health, but it’s nice to see that he’s gotten off that idiotic low-fat diet. It was probably killing him and he didn’t even know it.
The FBI Agents Who Stood Up For The Rule Of Law
You have to admit, it’s a pretty rare attribute in this administration.
[Update a while later]
There are five separate FBI investigations into the Clinton corruption?
I’m sure there are more than five instances of it, but you’d think they could combine them somehow. And of course, that’s just the ones we know about. There could easily be more.
Update a while later]
The Marc Rich pardon returns. As noted, the timing is interesting, but it’s certainly a useful reminder of the long-time corruption of the Clintons (not to mention Eric Holder, who should never have been confirmed as Attorney General). We may finally be seeing the leaks and drips that I expected earlier if Comey refused to recommend prosecution. I think we’re seeing a civil war both within the FBI and between FBI and the Department of Injustice. And it remains unclear which side Comey is on, other than his own.
The B612 Foundation
Their annual report is out on progress toward private asteroid watching.
Occam’s Weiner
Thoughts on the mess from Mark Steyn, who will soon have his own show.
[Update a while later]
“My guess is Weiner’s perversions were to some extent a cry for help. He wanted to be caught. At some point, he desperately wanted out of the Clinton nexus (who wouldn’t?).”
[Update a few minutes later]
Hillary didn’t see Carlos Danger coming:
Carlos Danger (Anthony Weiner) once held high political office. He talked smart trash. He sassed Republicans and snickered. The liberal media loved it. Can’t catch me, I’m Carlos Danger.
Carlos Danger is also a pervert who sends naked pictures of himself to underage females.
Thanks to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s criminal deceit and his wife’s (Huma Abedin) complicity, after Carlos left office in disgrace he still had access to classified national security information.
Let’s review key incidents in The Lowest Cesspool. The pervert digitally exposes himself to 15-year-old girl. How vile. The cops investigate. Good. But oh the irony. The perv’s exposure incidentally exposes the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate as a crook and serial liar. The pervert’s estranged wife may face perjury charges. The pervert is cooperating with the FBI because he’s a coward and a punk and he’ll cop a plea to save his arse.
Unlikely plot twists? Not all that surprising, given the crooked characters. No need for Greek gods to dispense justice. Crooked characters do crooked things. At some point they take a crooked step and fall. Even crooks who think they can design a centralized and cost-effective national healthcare program, the kind of megalomaniacal crook who thinks she can foresee every contingency, a crook who thinks she can control the narrative just because she has ABC and NBC and CNN and The New York Times in her pocket—even a crook with that kind of power eventually trips up.
He certainly chose an appropriate name for himself.

The Democrats asked for this.
Yes. It’s what happens when you ignore all of the klaxons and flashing lights and nominate a corrupt incompetent serial felon.
Another Reason To Vote For Trump
I know, I know, I said there were only three, but this would be a bonus: 35% of federal workers say they’d leave the government if he wins. So he’d be able to shrink the government even without the help of Congress, totally within the Constitution!
Whole-Fat Dairy
Five reasons you should be eating it. No one should be eating low-fat dairy, or low-fat food in general. It’s all an abomination based completely on junk nutritional science over decades.
I should note that Costco only sells zero-fat Fage yogurt (last I checked). They make a 2%, but not a whole-fat version. But Trader Joe’s has started to make a whole-milk version, and it tastes great, and is only two bucks, compared to $2.67 for lower-fat versions, and more than that for Fage.
Intruder Alert
It’s nice to see that NASA is taking the asteroid threat more seriously, but we’re still not doing enough to actually prevent them from hitting us. In fact, we’re doing almost nothing.
The IRS’s Targeting of Conservatives
You’ll be as shocked as I am to discover that Barack Obama lied about it. One of the articles of impeachment for Richard Nixon was merely attempting to do so. Obama actually did it.
It’s Obviously Sexism
“No man who violated classification rules, used an illegal server to cover up influence-peddling, and then tried to destroy the evidence would be treated this way.”
Heh.
Though seriously, this is one of the reasons he could be impeached and removed, and she could not:
…here is the worst thing about her, and what makes her worse than Trump. Even if the Republicans, in the wake of their disastrous candidate, somehow manage to retain control of both houses of Congress, they will be just as powerless against her as they have been against Barack Obama. Because there is nothing a Democrat, and particularly a Clinton, can do that Democrats will ever accept as beyond the pale. And if she were to be impeached, it will simply be evidence this time that the Republicans are sexist, in addition to being racist.
They’re both terrible, but he is a correctable mistake; she is not. As Glenn says, vote for the one least likely to get away with things.
Russian hackers are better than we thought. They stole Clinton's emails from the NSA, put them on Huma's laptop, and pinned it on Weiner.
