Re: NASA Observatory Captures Stunning Solar Eclipse from Space - Yesterday
QuoteRolando QuoteOmbligo Sol is both awe-inspiring and scary. A gigantic fusion bomb, 1000s times the size of our Planet, only 93 million miles away! it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun's volume. Hard to even imagine, and it is not that large of a star - The largest stars could hold five billion of our suns or 6.5 quadrillion Earths!by Ombligo - Tips and Deals

MLB looking at robot umpires - Yesterday
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says there are multiple proposals being considered to use robotic umpires, possibly as early as the 2024 season. One is for the automated system to call every pitch and transmit balls and strikes to the home plate umpire using an earpiece. Another is for managers to be able to challenge balls and strikes via replay review. A pitch clock is also under consideration,by Ombligo - Tips and Deals

Re: How did you develop your liberal view of the world? - Yesterday
Dad and my grandfather were both among the founders of the United Auto Workers. My mom grew up in an environment that while fiscally conservative was socially liberal. As she aged, she had some issues but did not judge others. Politics was not a big subject at my home, but I am quite sure I was influenced by their beliefs. I found history and sociology to be fascinating, but I have always beenby Ombligo - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Close ztirffritz, but I don't think it will be parents that shut down high school sports - it will be insurance companies refusing to cover the sports and lawyers telling school systems that they will be sued and will lose. Once that happens a few times, you will see school-based sports being dropped. It won't happen overnight.by Ombligo - Tips and Deals

QuoteRAMd®d As for the desire to go to the Capitol I have to wonder if Trump did not see himself leading the mob into the Senate chambers.

Re: Secret service…why? - 3 days ago
There is no law against calling agents to testify, the agency has expressed opposition to it. Secret Service argues that it places them in an uncomfortable position given that the president is supposed to trust them. However, there is precedent as agents were subpoenaed by a judge to testify about Bill Clinton's affair with Lewinsky.by Ombligo - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

QuoteMr Downtown The whole point of Tinker, remember, is that you don't shed your First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate. A public school employee has the right to wear a hijab or kippah, to display a cross on a necklace, and—we now know—to pray, even out loud, while on school property. So a teacher kneeling in front of a classroom of students and praying is allowed?by Ombligo - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Re: Trump will be with us for decades and decades,,,,,,, - 6 days ago
SCOTUS will end up having to deal with Olgothorpe, Griswald and potentially Loving simple because of the Fifth Court of Appeals. A southern state will do something stupid in regards to those and the ultra-conservative fifth will uphold while other appeals court will overrule it. That sets up SCOTUS. I really don't think the majority will overturn those. Thomas and Alito will vote too, but I doby Ombligo - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
