Half_son will get a few hours with A1 this weekend to celebrate the kid's 12th birthday. Better late than never, I guess. I assume he'll also get A2 (8 years old) and A3 (7 years old) also.

Hoping the next court appearance turns the tables, so that he has them at least three days per week.

Grandson_3 is telling me lore of "KITT the car" ... even though he's only seen two episodes of "Knight Rider". He's been shooting suction cup darts at a Hot Wheels car ever since he got home. He's trying to replicate the episode where someone in a helicopter shoots at the car and a ricochet hits the chopper, forcing it to land.

When the HPV vaccine was released in 2006, it was promoted as only beneficial to girls, but let's make boys take it anyway. There were lots of people who were opposed to it for that reason. Either they've improved it without telling us or they didn't bother telling us in the first place about all the different kinds of HPV-caused cancers that the vaccine helps to prevent.

That would have been the story to promote, not the "all take it, but only benefits one sex" ... and now's probably not the time to ask PubHealth people such questions when they're facing the fight of their lives as ignoramuses are unknowingly about to cause widespread death from preventable diseases.

  RFK Jr says he wants to tackle chronic disease. His war on the HPV vaccine shows otherwise.
  
  from Dr. Andrea Love
  
  RFK Jr. profits by scaring people from a proven cancer prevention: that’s the opposite of combating chronic disease.

@clacke Aha. Depending on when this occurred, the "polar vortex" shifted for part of January, leading to unusually cold temperatures in portions of Canada and the US. That almost certainly means warmth headed Northward from another direction.

I've been trying to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy but there are so many terms that I have to look up that this already long article represents much additional reading.

  Zero-point energy
  
  Zero-point energy (ZPE) is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have. Unlike in classical mechanics, quantum systems constantly fluctuate in their lowest energy state as described by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Therefore, even at absolute zero, atoms and molecules retain some vibrational motion. Apart from atoms and molecules, the empty space of the vacuum also has these properties. According to quantum field theory, the universe can be thought of not as isolated particles but continuous fluctuating fields: matter fields, whose quanta are fermions (i.e., leptons and quarks), and force fields, whose quanta are bosons (e.g., photons and gluons). All these fields have zero-point energy. These fluctuating zero-point fields lead to a kind of reintroduction of an aether in physics since some systems can detect the existence of this energy. However, this aether cannot be thought of as a physical medium if it is to be Lorentz invariant such that there is no contradiction with Einstein's theory of special relativity. The notion of a zero-point energy is also important for cosmology, and physics currently...

Half_son waited almost a year to start talking about the situation behind his divorce. I mean, I already knew a lot of it, but it was speculation and hearsay, and now it is direct from one of the involved parties.

I'm sure things have changed since then, but in the late 1970s, the standard retailer markup on eggs was 12 cents per dozen, or a penny per egg.

I just suddenly remembered my (then) boss telling me about that.

> President Donald Trump on Monday agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada as America’s two largest trading partners took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking.

> The pauses provide a cool-down period after a tumultuous few days that put North America on the cusp of a trade war that risked crushing economic growth, causing prices to soar and ending two of the United States’ most critical partnerships.

(Source ) Reuters: https://gnusocial.jp/url/4076774

> MEXICO CITY/WASHINGTON/OTTAWA, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump suspended his threat of steep tariffs on Mexico and Canada on Monday, agreeing to a 30-day pause in return for concessions on border and crime enforcement with the two neighboring countries.

(Commentary) MSNBC: https://gnusocial.jp/url/4084919

> All of which leaves us with a fairly obvious conclusion: Trump picked a fight, faced pressure, saw stock market declines, and caved in exchange for effectively nothing, sparking a new round of international headlines about the American president being a "paper tiger."

  The president probably didn't want to spark a new round of international headlines about him being a “paper tiger,” but that's precisely what has happened.

School shooting in #Sweden. Up to 10 students killed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c206q444zx3t

Apparently, it happened at an adult education center located on the same campus as schools for children.

> Police believe the perpetrator is among the dead - the suspect is a man and thought to have acted alone, although the investigation is in the early stages

This sort of thing seems to be gradually diffusing throughout the entire world.

During a conversation with Grandson_3 about a character named Kit the Cat, I mentioned that I used to watch a TV show featuring a car named KITT. I found an episode of Knight Rider on YouTube and after watching it with him, he asks daily to see KITT the talking car. (My answer is almost always 'no' because I don't want him to have that much screen time.)
