It's Better To Die On Your Feet Than To Live On Our ONTsGreetings 'rons and 'ettes! Thursday night, shall we see what interesting things happened on the interwebs this week? Before we do that, here's a pro-tip: Make sure you coordinate your outfit with your terrorist buddies before you make a hostage video. For All Our Problems, America Is Better Than This
A jeweller who shot dead two robbers who targeted his shop in Italy has been jailed for 17 years, sparking an outcry. Vigilante justice is exactly what you get when the legal system stops being fair and impartial and starts being a mechanism for punishing political foes or excusing certain groups from answering for their crimes, and we are heading that way at 100 per.
How the New York City Steam System Works I saw a meme about those orange and white smokestacks you see in New York. Here's an article explaining the system. It's really quite neat. Today, there are about 105 miles of steam pipes underneath New York City’s streets, which serve as a cleaner source of energy than oil or coal to over 1,500 buildings. Some of New York City’s most famous buildings are steam powered, including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations, Rockefeller Center and more.

The excessive use of force against January 6 victims has reached levels that are so absurd that they’re now in the realm of North Korea-esque treatment. It’s clear that the regime is trying to send a message to anybody who dares to dissent: if they step out of line, meaning they don’t bow down to the regime agenda, the full force of the United States government will come crashing down on them and their families. It’s a KGB-like tactic that is very powerful and rather off-putting to Americans who still appreciate and love freedom. Watch what you say if you want to talk about this one. And the fact that I felt compelled to issue that warning tells you all you need to know. Awww, Rats
It's miserable enough fighting in winter, but after an unusually warm early fall followed by brutal cold, large swaths of fields that have gone unharvested and thousands of human carcasses to feed on, troops from both sides are facing an additional scourge. There's a lot of info on the situation in Ukraine, not just about rats, although how accurate any of it is is anyone's guess. I remember reading somewhere that the one positive thing about WWI gas attacks was that they knocked back the rodents in the trenches for a few days. There's also a recounting at the link about a Nazi unit in WWII that could only deploy with 30% of it's vehicles because rats and mice had chewed the wiring, rendering them inoperable.

14 Terrifying Stories That Actually Happened To People
"The next morning, my cousin's watching the morning news and sees that hitchhiker's face. Dude was a serial killer and had killed someone that picked him up. Cousin calls the cops and they have him come in. Turns out the hitcher had killed the very next person after my cousin who had given him a ride. He'd killed a few people who had given him rides, that was his MO.
What protesters are furious about is that Israel is more effective at being disproportionate in retaliation than Hamas and its Iranian supporters were in their preemptive mass murdering.
YouTube pulled a video of a discussion between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and four medical experts, including one former White House adviser, because the experts questioned the efficacy of masks for children. YouTube pulled the video on Wednesday and replaced it with a message saying, “this video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines,” as well as a link to the platform’s guidelines. The video and transcript of the deleted post may be viewed in their entirety at the American Institute for Economic Research. Last month, DeSantis held a roundtable discussion with Harvard University professor Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Oxford University epidemiologist Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Stanford University physician and epidemiologist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Stanford professor Dr. Scott Atlas. DeSantis moderated a discussion evaluating the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. YouTube pulled the video, originally posted by AIER, over the experts’ claims made about the efficacy of children wearing masks in schools to combat COVID-19.
