Why are we still Funding Other Countries? At this point we should just make one the 51st state: Welcome to Iraqachusetts: live free and die.

New Stand Your Ground case in Texas
Damned right it applies. This idiot thought that harassing this woman and threatening her with a knife was a good idea. So, she pulled out a rifle to try to get him to back off (not always the best choice, of course, but what the hell, you use what you got.) He lunged at her and attacked. She shot his stupid ass.

They caught the bastard!
Or at least, they think it's the right guy. There's apparently camera footage of this fuckwad dropping off a backpack at the explosion site in MA.
Get a rope!

I never thought I'd say this....
...but this russian guy slaps this right outta the park.
Americans: Never give up your guns
Wow. The comments have the usual shitbag full of gun grabbing fuckwits, but you can't swing a stick without hitting one of those idiots.
It's definitely good food for thought, but I doubt it'll sway the hardcore Feinstein lover, after all, they don't live in reality.

Just for fun.....
Weerd over @ weerdworld brought up the topic of old video game systems. I commented about how some systems seemed to have some seriously awesome specs, but didn't really do so well. I am about to examine a little bit of the reasons why in this post.
One of the first systems to be looked at was the Sega Genesis. This system had a more powerful CPU than the SNES and boasted a marketing campaign designed to make those that didn't possess one feel like an inferior nerd. It's too bad with the exception of the Sonic the Hedgehog games, the Genesis didn't really have many compelling games. How many remember Shining Force 1 & 2 or the Phantasy Star series?
It did get the "unedited" version of Mortal Kombat (which required a blood code to activate the bloody animations, due to the fuckery going on in Congress at that time over violent video games,) but this wasn't good enough to topple the SNES, which had a HUGE library of games and peripherals.
On the flip side was the fail that was known as the Nintendo 64. Sure, it had a handful of really good games (The Mario games, Zeldas, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong,) but the crippling deficiencies like the lack of ram and the use of ROM carts rather than cheaper to produce CDs and shitty controllers signed this things death warrant fairly quickly, compared to it's main competitor, the Playstation 1.
Sega tried hard with the "next-gen" system, the Saturn, but couldn't attract enough developers to make it work
Atari tried their own 64 bit system shortly before the N64 hit the scene, it had 5 discrete different processors / subprocessors, a CD-ROM attachment (a nightmare in and of itself,) and a virtually unusable controller setup. It swiftly faded to obscurity in the face of the fact that no matter how powerful the system, if there's no games or it's unusable due to bad controllers or the CD attachment eats CDs.
There were a few other systems like the 3DO, the Neo-Geo home systems, and that one Linux based thing that wanted to compete with the X-Box. They all failed for one primary reason: If it ain't entertaining, nobody wants it.

The good stuff
There's a certain kind of satisfaction with ending a week that's had plenty of work, and that has gone fairly well. A satisfaction that I'm feeling right now, as I drink my beer and blog.
More to come shortly.

Ruminations and Philosophy
I was just reading an article about how some scientists may have found evidence of an earlier universe, and this kind of sparked my thoughts. What was the nature of this theoretical universe? Is the Cycle of Time seen in the Wheel of Time and nBSG universes a real thing? Was there another universe, brimming with life and potential way back in some unspeakably long ago age?
What happened? Especially to any sophonts that existed there?
And what will be the fate of this universe?
Food for an idle Sunday's thoughts, folks.
