Damn.

Steven Den Beste spent a good deal of time explaining the engineering constraints of “alternative energy” but only six people in North America understand what the fuck he’s talking about. Frances Porretto explains it in terms even your humble narrator can understand. Read, or I’ll show up at your house dressed like a sumo wrestler and crap on your lawn. Don’t fuck with me, I have your IP address.

IN other news, The fine folks at Climate Skeptic have continued to dismantle “accepted scientific data” such as the splicing of temperature data and tree ring size. Turns out this is horseshit, as I expected. I’ve been having some fun with some of the dim bulbs there, who, lacking actual verifiable fact supporting their stupidity, turn directly to ad hominem. It’s a hoot, try it.

Saturday’s match

I won my division.

I’m not puffing myself up here, trust me, I’m shooting against people that aren’t that good. Still, a bit of an ego boost. I came in fourth overall. A little humiliating to be beaten by an IDPA guy with a pistol. But, he’s goood.

Yesterday’s conversation of the day:

Elisson: Guns don’t kill people, bullets kill people.

og: Bullets don’t kill people, bullet HOLES kill people.

Elisson: Bullet holes don’t kill people.

The loss of blood and the destruction of soft tissue, nerve, and bone consequential to the formation of them bullet holes…kills people.

og: Not according to Dianne Feinstein.

Elisson: Guns don’t kill people…Dianne Feinstein kills people.

og: Semprini!!

(Well, that’s what I would have said if I could have thought if it in time. Don’t you hate it when you think of the perfect comeback two hours later?)
