Wandering Adventure Party

The radio astronomer Nikolai Kardashev developed a scale describing hypothetical aliens by the amount of energy they used as a guide for what SETI searches could and could not find.

A "Kardashev II" level would involve using the entire energy output of the Sun by dismantling planets and turning them into solar panels.

Which has no resemblance to this particular bit of vaporware.

SpaceX's hype has never been constrained by facts.

Now if cops would just extend the same protection to people who are not their personal friends:

"The husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years."

I assume that the staffers handling voice mail for McCollum, Klobuchar, and Smith go "this guy again" at my messages.

But they do log the calls.

@orbman @augieray

The same document that lists that also lists sprayed oil as a "chemical weapon".

That does not make smoke grenades remotely the same as what that phrase usually refers to.

What we have been dealing with here in the Twin Cities is quite bad enough without misinformation.

@fgbjr @augieray

HC smoke grenades have not been reported here in Minnesota. They have been used in Portland.

The Star Tribune piece included the picture so that readers know the difference.

And I would like to not need to know about so many different types of grenade.
