It’s been a sad couple of days. The world seems to be going to hell, and though I’m powerless to do anything about it, I feel helpless and discouraged about humanity. But then I read a scientific report that, all-in-all,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bad guys don’t have OSHA (that’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration to you non-Americans). I mean, just LOOK at the Death Star. Dangerous doors, low beams a storm-trooper could hit their head on, and what about that power core where[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
