In OTHER News
It should be noted that there is other dreadful news in the world, specifically in the world of V-Tubers.
Genhin Impact is an absolutely gorgeous game and appears to be very fun to play, but, alas, it is a Gacha game with all that that implies, as Silvervale found the first time she spun a Gacha.
Projekt Melody recently discovered a terrible truth about the internet.
A collaboration between two V-Tubers suffered a translation mishap.

Truly a Fine Example of a 2020 Headline
Uh...WHAT!?
I call bullshit.
I was skeptical too, so I looked for another source (with proper grammar) and found a report on the results of the experiment. That the results of an experiment which hasn't yet happened, but were reported on 3 years ago might prove that they've at least broken causality.
However, due to a silly, neurotic concern about using a 2017 article from The Onion as a source for a story about a 2020 science breakthrough, I dug a little deeper and found the awful truth.
"Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.
"We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.
"Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.
"This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science."This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.
Further digging revealed stories about the LHC creating matter from light and making progress on the discovery of dark matter, but no imminent Isekai applications, or any evidence that Warhammer 40,000 might be prophecy.

Now It's ALIENS Getting Involved in Our Elections.
As I am opposed to cattle mutilations and the destruction of crops, I guess I have no recourse but to vote for the angry cheeto.

Gender Reveal Parties: Threat or Menace?
By now most of you have heard about the idiots who set off the fireworks at a gender reveal party, thereby igniting one of California's current wildfires.
Well it's not just California where these bridezilla recidivism incidents go haywire, it appears that one just went off the rails in Canada and at least 80 shots were fired.
Was there a betting pool? What? Why?

For Some Reason
I've been getting a TON of spam in the comments section to this old post.
And in visiting it again and again over the last few days, I find myself asking the same question about this comely mechanic's PPE that I did two years ago.

Those buckles on her skirt/waistcoat....
What are they for?
How are they fastened without tripping her?
Don't they leave a potentially hazerdous gap ?
How exactly does that knee guard work and not contribute to potential injuries?
Reader suggestions are welcome.

Meanwhile:
While all eyes are upon the Coronavirus and the implosion of the Iowa Caucuses, other things are actually happening.
Like this...
A vulcanologist in Iceland has gone into a fit of weird forced metaphors, which may indicate a large eruption is likely sometime in the island's future. Of course it being Iceland, this is a safe bet.
Regarding Coronavirus, the Chicom secret police are coming to the unwelcome realization that there is often a good side to even the worst things.
Archeologists are all excited about a box shaped well head.
A 5,256 year old well head.

Chemicals in the Food Supply
So a few days ago, while zipping between the productive children who had provided them with grandkids, my parents stopped by for a few hours and dropped off a care package including some fresh bread they got from the bakery because "that Dollar Store stuff you eat worries me!"
It was really good, but in about 4 days time I went to make a sandwich and....
Turns out the bread they had purchased was that really high-end all-natural stuff with no preservatives.
Now, they're not into the crazy, hard-line "organic" nonsense, they simply zipped into the grocery and picked the top-of-the-line bread, but it brings home how much of these lifestyle fashions are just status games by people who have both the capital and leisure time to buy bespoke merchandise in tiny quantities.

I Have a Question
I turned on the news a few minutes ago and the President is having another rally. VP Pence is doing the opening act.
Why are these two people in the same time and space?
Notwithstanding the recent righteous vivisection of the Persian's answer to Himmler and Skorzeny, we're involved in wars in Afganistan, Syria, and in sporadic locations around Dar al Islam. All it would take is a big bomb or a drone swarm to give us president Pelosi.
That'd be bad.

In Which I Again Completely Missed the Point (Updated)
So Wednesday night I blundered into a webcomic in one of the tabs I was closing out. While, fairly true to life in my experience it had all the moral ambiguity of a Goofus and Gallant strip. Now to be fair, it was a 4 panel strip and so it's not really a art-crime that the antagonist was a purple haired Snidely Whiplash. I didn't know where It'd been linked from or the context and so I closed out the tab and since Wednesday was my birthday, and I'd missed Christmas due to work, I went down to visit my folks in NC.
Fast forward to getting home an hour ago, and lo and behold that strip I'd blown off is now all the rage...
It turns out that the aforementioned 4koma was the source of the meme of the week...and I'd completely misread it. In particular, I had misidentified which character was the author insert and which was the designated straw-man. This puts the comic in a whole different context.
Dev's video makes some insightful points (as Dev does) though he get's wayyy into the weeds on this. But then the talented Mr. Benjamin looked at the above video and how much the Canadian was able to glean from a 4 panel strip. And thereupon the Briton said "Hold my beer!"
Gracious! It's Plato vs. Aristotle, in a war to the knife in the field of memes.
UPDATE: Good grief. I did it again. When I saw it earlier I assumed that this was obviously a parody obituary. Alas, I again missed those subtle cues so necessary for gleaning the deeper meaning of derp.

A Headline of the Crazy Years
Pigeons Wearing Cowboy Hats are Roaming Las Vegas, and Nobody Knows Why
That headline gives all the pertinent information conveyed in the several hundred word article.
Other outlets are covering this important story, the NYT reports that there is a rodeo in town, but they deny responsibility.
Oh look. There's video...
Things fall apart
The center cannot hold

Adventures in Steam Engineering and Their Applicability to the Precautionary Principle.
So. I put a piece of leftover chicken in the microwave this afternoon for 45 seconds as I have done many, many times before. At about 30 seconds there was a loud explosion as the as the flesh of the chicken bird evenly dispersed itself around the interior of my microwave.
It's all clean now but golly, I haven't had a microwave mishap like that since that time when I was a kid...with the egg.
So perhaps the takeaway here is that moisture can flash to steam in unpredictable ways. However, if we were to err on the side of caution and assume that chickens of any age have the potential to interact catastrophically with radiation, then this has implications!
