Voyager 2 hasn't traveled by a tiny fraction of a single light year, which is equal to 5.88 trillion miles.

Whoever placed the stones there did it so generations that followed would waste decades trying to figure out why the stones were placed there. Every time another stone was placed in the circle, they'd raise a glass and laugh about what was to come.

I know she won't be running this time around, but unless someone better comes up, she's my choice for POTUS.

"The IBM researchers say they found the videos exposed due to a misconfiguration of security settings on a virtual private cloud server they'd observed in previous APT35 activity."

So, the hackers were using IBM's cloud service to record their hacking training video and because they didn't use the proper security settings in configuring the virtual server, they exposed their nefarious activities.

I'm thinking the threat level from Iranian hackers is going to remain relatively low.

"The primary issue is that the corrupted tax code has allowed people to amass fortunes of unimaginable wealth."

And yet, you'd be hard pressed to find politicians willing to concede that a flat tax (exempting those under a poverty-level income) would be an equitable solution to our corrupt tax laws. Instead, we have a federal tax code with about 4,000 pages. You want to close loop holes, create a flat tax.

The majority of the 17% decline in emissions came from transportation -- cars and airplane. Imagine if we eliminated coal-fired power plant and replaced them with nuclear or renewable energy.

Driving for 10 hours

When you feel it tickling your tonsils, you can stop and pull the swab out of your nose.

So, the Associated Press is trying to distract me?

"Or don't. Just pretend it's all China's fault."

It is all China's fault. Their government hid what was happening and allowed its infected citizens and outside visitors to travel throughout the world unbeknownst to other countries.

How is it not China's fault?

China didn't F-up. If I add bleach to a colored wash, that's f-ing up. China intentionally muzzled any one attempting to tell the world there was a pandemic. And the very first paragraph of that article states 3,000 people were infected in China before any information was allowed out.

Except this article isn't about Trump; it's about China's suppression of information around the outbreak. Keep that in mind. China didn't just stay quiet, it forcefully prevented information from being disseminated causing the pandemic to take place.

Had this been an article about Trump not responding fast enough -- perhaps comparing Trump's response to Bush's or Obama's regarding H1N1 before him -- sure, comment away on how poorly our current president has responded.

FTA:"In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations."

So, let me get this straight. China, the source of the pandemic, said nothing about the virus's spread for nearly a week and allowed more than 3,000 people to be infected by that time, and your go to response is to turn it around on Trump, who had to choose to shut down all borders versus China simply telling the world, "Hey, we just started a pandemic. You may want to prepare."

China didn't just keep quiet, it forcefully kept any medical personnel from talking about it. Doctors like ophthalmologist Li Wenliang at a hospital in Wuhan, who tried to warn the world via WeChat but was then paid a visit by by police who muzzled him. BTW, Dr. Wenliange later died from coronavirus.

Yeah, cause, you know, all the other nations on earth are all about the other guy /s.

BTW, the U.S. is the most charitable nation on earth according to the Gallup World Poll.

I'm sure that won't sit well with you -- something positive about the U.S. Ugh!

"and if you disagree we'll pay your country a visit and bring you a whole bunch of democracy". Name one instance where the U.S. invaded a nation for "resources" that wasn't hostile toward our Allies or directly involved in an attack against the U.S.

The monolith appears.
