Mosquitoes infected with bacteria to make them infertile released in battle against viruses | Droolin Dog dot Net

So I’m imagining the plot to a bad b-movie:
Infected mosquito experiment gone wrong. There’s a mutation. A few unexpected environmental catalysts. Next thing you know they’re calling in the national guard and the guys in quarantine suits…

Too bad this is a real story:

I’ve lived through quite a few presidencies now. Some good. Some bad. Some REALLY bad. Pretty much all downhill from JFK really.
But now, I’m certain we’ve arrived at a new low. Not rock bottom, because he outdoes himself daily. But right there, on bleeding edge of worse.

Can an Airplane Take Off on a Moving Runway?

Honestly, it seems like the author missed the point…

If runway is moving at 100mph and plane moves same speed in the opposite direction, the plane can’t take off. The plane may be moving 200mph relative to the runway, but relative to the AIR, its net speed is zero.
Planes have lift because of air moving under and over the wings. Move the runway all you want…if the WINGS aren’t moving relative to the AIR, no lift.

Tickets for Donald Trump’s first State of the Union have an embarrassing typo

Here’s why this is a HUGE issue. It speaks to carelessness. It screams out that the most important job in the country is not being taken seriously. All you had to do is PROOF READ, but nobody bothered. No one thought it was important enough to make sure the details were taken care of.
There is no job on Earth where the DETAILS are more important. Our president is not fit to be a fucking janitor.

Home improvement made easy: Five ways to find a wall stud

I use the time tested drill and pray method, (NOT properly mentioned in this article)…drill hole after hole in applicable wall or ceiling until a swiss cheese-like state is achieved and stud is found. Then I just patch up all those pesky holes with a swipe of some old, sorta watery sheetrock mud and make note to sand and paint someday.

Exclusive: ICE is about to start tracking license plates across the US

Vigilant Solutions. A name that should scare you to the core, if you value liberty and democracy.
The more you learn about them, the more you realize that your privacy…the ability to go where you want without fear that you are being tracked or monitored…is severely impinged by the existence of their database. Their real time tracking abilities should scare the living fuck right the hell out of you.
Did no one actually READ Orwell’s 1984? Or does the term Orwellian mean something else now? Because…wtf America? How are we putting up with this? Sheep to the fucking slaughter if the rest of us don’t wake up…and soon.
The world ignored the rise of Hitler, just as we are ignoring the rise of the extreme surveillance state, under a President who ignores ALL conventions of ethics and…reason. ICE is Trump’s personal Gestapo, the enforcers of his cornerstone immigration policies (basically, deport everybody but super white Norway).

The parallels are way too real to ignore.

If we’re going to deport immigrants, we should also throw out the employers who hired them

The irony is that the FASTEST way to end the immigration problem is to make it impossible to hire undocumented workers. But that would mean arresting rich white people instead of brown people who can’t afford a lawyer or lawsuit, and nobody wants THAT.
More ironic is that controlling employment of illegals would be much easier than guarding the border, and more effective…because once word gets out that people are going back to Mexico because they can’t find a job in the US, people will stop sneaking in. Isn’t that the desired outcome?
