Yeah, allowing an animal that has the habit of licking its own anus to also leak babies' faces is not a wise thing to do....

Yeah and you don't want the gog to lick them either. Though I would pick lick over leak any day.

 

The one that gets me is parents that let their kids crawl all over public floors. And probably the worst of it is at airports.

 

I want one. How would you like to have this bad boy parked in your driveway?

Bad news, I don't think it is fitting in my single car garage.

How many flights is it going to take to get that thing to the moon?

 

I know, the first rule is not to talk about it.

Wheeler said officials in Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill’s office told mayoral aides that prosecutors could do nothing because the law allows for “mutual combat” between people fighting.

 

It is surprising to see how many Youtube videos of dogs licking babies' faces are originated in USA. Around here that is a no no with babies or kids, albeit grown up people, sometimes allow such a thing.

My daughter's favorite thing was to roll around in a pile of weeks-old German Shepherd puppies (keep in mind -- they spend their time rolling around in their own pee and poop).

Can't think of a better (or more healthy) way for a young child to spend her time...

Looks like the family picked up some awful disease from those dogs that caused their faces to get all blocky.

Better than a disease that causes one's feces to get all blocky.

Applications for the British Army are at a five-year high and the ad campaign led to a 78% rise in website visits.

 

Looks like Boeing has some real quality control problems.

How in the hell can any air frame worker with even an once of pride in their work cause this to happen? I would be complaining all the way up to the CEO, if I had to, if this were being allowed to happen on the aircraft that I worked. Hell I would probably be cleaning the damn thing up myself if I had to.

Whoever is inspecting these planes before they go out the door should be fired. After that start with mangers of these workers that left the trash and tools in the plane.

Never forget that these are the same that push for "diversity" admissions.

It's all virtue signalling -- they have none themselves.

I don't care whether the parents involved get jail time or not, and I certainly don't think it warrants the 20 years that was mentioned in one article I read. But I do think that a fine of 10x whatever they spent on brides and such is fair, with the money being used to fund merit-based scholarships at OTHER universities; even if I accept that the university administrations had no knowledge of the wrongdoing, there's no basis for letting the schools benefit from the wrongdoing after the fact.

Now, as for the others involved, particularly the coaches and the testing center officials -- THEY deserve nice healthy prison sentences (though I would still say that twenty years is a stretch) for violating their duties to their positions of responsibility. The middlemen ("admissions consultants") didn't really do that, but they certainly committed fraud purely for personal financial gain, so whatever prison/financial penalties apply, have at it.

A couple articles I read claimed that the kids didn't know any of this was going on. While I could see that being possible with a straight up bribe (which appears to be the case in some instances), it's hard to believe that when you are being admitted based on being "recruited" for a sport you've never played, that you don't have some idea that something is up.

Yeah, if you can't figure that out, you probably don't belong in college.

 

This technology could be a game-changer:

A German research team has prototyped an extraordinary heating/cooling system that stresses and unloads nickel-titanium "muscle wires" to create heated and cooled air at twice the efficiency of a heat pump or three times the efficiency of an air conditioner. Crucially, the device also uses no refrigerant gases, meaning it's a much more environmentally friendly way to heat or cool a space.

Yeah, I know about the thermal properties of rubber. But what's its efficiency compared to ordinary gas compressors? This guys claim to have tripled the efficiency of commercial A/C s!

Lots of people claim lots of things.

I'll wait for verification.
