    WSJ:

    A surveillance judge clarifies that the FBI can falsify evidence without much fear of punishment.
    The government employees of the “resistance” who never accepted Donald Trump as our president have finally performed a useful public service. Together with the judges of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, they have demonstrated for all Americans how easy it is to turn the spying tools of the federal government against domestic political opponents.

    Even after the Obama-appointed inspector general of the Department of Justice found “at least 17 significant errors or omissions” in a series of approved surveillance warrant applications to spy on Trump associate Carter Page—and even after a criminal conviction of an FBI attorney for doctoring an email to make it appear that the patriotic Mr. Page had never assisted U.S. intelligence—the FISA judges are still refusing to apply any significant punishment to the government officials who misled them.

    I guess there's a down-side to every area.

    Well, they also have a haunted antebellum mansion.

    OK, I cooked it down substantially today and added chipotle pepper and more cumin. Now tastes more like chili and less like beef stew.

    If it's 99% of the air you breathe you die pretty quickly.

    That's more than obvious.

    I want to understand how such a high FiN2 occurred in the first place.

    If a liquid nitrogen container suddenly depressurises then liquid nitrogen gets turned into nitrogen gas. A litre of liquid nitrogen at 90 Kelvin (roughly 50 moles) turns into 1200 litres of nitrogen gas at 298 Kelvin. If this happens
    in an enclosed space people are in big trouble. It's why being in a lift with a cannister of liquid nitrogen is forbidden.

    How long before China names an aircraft carrier after Mr. Biden?

    I doubt they'll make that mistake. The Russians named one The Donald J. Trump, but it inexplicable fired a high explosive shell at itself and is currently resting at the bottom of the harbour after exploding spectacularly.

    Unverified reports suggest that Russian intelligence continues to detect, from time to time, faint radio signals from the bottom of that harbor that decodes to Internet packet trying to reach Twitter.

    That article isn't correct. Rochester's population is well over 100,000 now.

    He said that, 'The process I am engaged is righteousness, justice, and truth,' " a police officer wrote about the interview.

    Cool, we have nothing to worry about.
