Does Trump believe in 'climate change'?
Whoever asked that question damned himself out of his own mouth, because that is the sort of question one would ask about matters of religion, not science. On scientific questions, one would ask, rather, "What is the evidence?"
Even the use of the phrase "climate change" rather than "man-made global warming" is telling, because "climate change" is the phrase the faithful adopted because it was becoming embarrassingly obvious that there had been no global warming, man-made or otherwise, for many years.
The evidence says that Earth's climate has been changing continuously for about 4.5 billion years, and during nearly all of that time, Homo
Rest in peace H. R. Giger
View if possible the documentary "Dark Star: H. R. Giger"
Giger was a Swiss artist, best known for his Oscar-winning artistic contribution to the movie "Alien" about 1978. Simply put, he designed the alien itself.
His artwork his widely considered rather "dark". The style is sometimes called "biomechanoid" or something like that because of the merger/mixture of mechanical and human forms, and perhaps because it is often largely monochrome.
Some of my artwork looks a little like some of his, which may not be entirely accidental. From my side, the resemblance stems from some of the graphic tools I have used, notably Blender and Wings3D.
'North Korea accuses South and US ...
.... of plotting to kill Kim Jong Un
The same thought occurred to me about a week ago.
Until then I had been musing what it would take to disable North Korea as a nuclear power. We could send Cruise Missiles across the DMZ to hit their missile sites, storage facilities, manufacturing facilities etc. Undoubtedly we know where they are. But that would be unnecessarily expensive and risky. There would be the chance that we wouldn't destroy quite everything, and they would strike back in some manner.
And it wouldn't solve the real problem. The real problem is Kim Jong-Un himself. If he were to be removed from power, game over.
The World Wars
Way back when I was in school, history was the subject that interested me the least.
That was largely because it was taught by incompetent teachers, capable of little more than marching a class through a textbook, assigning chapters to read, papers to write, tests to take, etc. History boiled down to lists of names and dates to memorize, in order to pass tests. Math was MUCH more exciting, because it challenged me to think.
Now it's different. A few documentaries, docudramas, etc. have come along to bring history alive, show why it matters.
World War I, then called "The Great War", "The War to End All Wars" is a case in point.
