The pope is noodling around on his latest Airbook, and suddenly a golden screen appears, and a word starts - Then nothing. Then he hears a thunderous voice, and can tell its just in his Papal head "Gideon! Get over here!

Um, humans probably need to heed PJ O'Rourke's advice: "I'm an American, I want problems solved with technology, not politics!" From his keyboard to the Lord's I-M. or Is it I AM ?

I was a wee bit cold hearted as a lad. Just a bit. So as I saw all that victim culture stuff described in National Review, and ignored by the pre-cable three networks and PBS, I was happy that the victims of that teaching who bought into it were taking themselves out of competition. I wasn't looking at the big picture of national dysfunction. Betsy! You, now in charge of Ed. Along with the many things to fix in education - Bring back the "classical model," so the youngun's can see some light and truth among all the drivel that has been spewed out all this while.nondisclosed_email@example.com (greendocnowciv)Mon, 16 Apr 2018 13:00:12 +0000 Re: Sea Reptiles that look like Dolphins were da biggesthttps://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4721,from=rss#post4721https://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4721,from=rss#post4721Understood--it was stirling from Canada If they want ya to be a victim-tell them to f.o. directly.

He has two Ancient Greek ones, which he should have done more, as a Byzantine scholar. And sad to see that about either Gibson or Stirling. I try not to let an authors politics bother me, and to date it hasn't.nondisclosed_email@example.com (greendocnowciv)Sat, 14 Apr 2018 13:19:19 +0000 Re: Sea Reptiles that look like Dolphins were da biggesthttps://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4698,from=rss#post4698https://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4698,from=rss#post4698I read the Diff engine years ago as an alternate history tale. I liked it but gave up reading anymore of one of the authors books, after he came out as pro-Islamist (the canadian). If I want alt history, I can read harry turtledove.nondisclosed_email@example.com (spud100)Sat, 14 Apr 2018 12:25:44 +0000 Re: Sea Reptiles that look like Dolphins were da biggesthttps://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4675,from=rss#post4675https://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4675,from=rss#post4675Spud, I enjoyed the article, but was a little distracted by how they put so much focus on the tale of the poor, bedraggled woman who should have been the star. It reminds me of Ada "The Queen of Numbers" Lovelace. http://www.sangbe.com/article/23631.html She is a go-to for praising the potential accomplishments of Women. I first came across her as a one of the main supporting characters in a couple of Sci-fi novels - one such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Difference_Engine nondisclosed_email@example.com (greendocnowciv)Fri, 13 Apr 2018 13:32:08 +0000 Sea Reptiles that look like Dolphins were da biggesthttps://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4554,from=rss#post4554https://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/p4554,from=rss#post4554https://www.popsci.com/giant-ichthyosaur-fossilnondisclosed_email@example.com (spud100)Tue, 10 Apr 2018 20:11:37 +0000
