a clothing longevity problem beyond design

Each cosmic ray essentially a single sub atomic particle such as a proton traveling just shy of light speed packs as much energy as a major league baseball pitch, over 40 million trillion electron volts. (The rest energy of a proton is about a billion electron volts.) The particles source must be within 200 million light years of Earth, for cosmic rays from beyond this distance would lose energy as they traveled through the murk of the cosmic microwave radiation pervading the Universe. There is considerable uncertainty, however, over what kinds of objects within 200 million light years could generate such energetic particles..

“Some defense attorneys have echoed those arguments, saying that those who participated in the attack were doing so at the behest of Trump.” “But for the president, they would not have walked down Pennsylvania Avenue,” Al Watkins, defending “QAnon shaman” Jacob Chansley, told the Post. “They believed the president was going with them. Kramer, chief of the Federal Public Defender Office for Washington, said he expects numerous attorneys for Capitol rioters to argue that Trump “told them to march up Pennsylvania Avenue, and he be leading them, and he the commander in chief of the military and the nation top law enforcement officer.” You can read more about what Trump and the Capitol insurrectionists said before and during the assault, and preview likely legal arguments, at The Washington Post.

When I saw the 2008 films that the CBS 60 Minutes crew shot on a visit to that particular electronics dump, I had visions of Dante Inferno, complete with the black and tangerine colored smoke issuing from an alchemical process used centuries before that piece of literature was published. And the gray river beside the dump conjured uncannily the River Styx. So much for literary allusion..

We have already known for a while, including by the police own admission, that officers are being sent out disguised as frontliners, and now we know that they have intentionally damaged train stations, which are major transportation hubs in this city. We know, including from Carrie Lam own statements, that the government is seeking to drain public support, and possibly international support, for the protests, perhaps even to the extent that they can get away with postponing or cancelling November District Council elections, where the pro Beijing parties are likely to suffer heavy defeat. A Reichstag Fire would be very convenient for them right now (and some suspect they already tried it once with the Legco break in); it would serve the government interests very nicely if unknown were to cause widespread inconvenience through dangerous and seemingly purposeless acts..
