I didn’t hear much, but I’m at work.

In retrospect, Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over. -- Dan Hodges

@Hydroqueen Fairly common for ships to anchor out at port and use liberty boats for shore excursions/liberty etc. Weird that 19 people fell off the small boat. Did one person falling overboard suggest to the crew that they should just keep trying until they got it right? Whole thing is weird.

@Rocker I think pretty soon now the 8.5x11 is gonna take off and be big. Any minute now.

@Longjacket Yes, they are all 10. And they are playing to an audience comprised of 10 year olds that dress up and throw tantrums. My theory is some kind of mass hysteria or something.

@Hydroqueen The article is confusing. If the ship was docked, why would they be using a boat to board? If the ship is anchored off, that would make more sense, but normally you'd cease boarding and small boat operations during heavy seas.

@Jezebelley3D The recently divorced congress critter has apparently had to do some shopping lately.

@Coctaanatis Or, maybe he did. A lot of what he does recently seems geared to generate outrage. He's made his nut, now he's just out here stirring the pot, is the vibe I'm getting.

@DungeonMaster The difference appears to be the magnitude of the output delta. From the article (I can’t tell if it’s paywalled at the time I post)

Researchers were able to produce 2.5 megajoules of energy, 120 per cent of the 2.1 megajoules used to power the experiment.
