I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

A cool not political story. A 50 million year old log found in a mine in Canada. I would say donate it to a Canadian museum, preferably local. It would have also been a nice addition to the Science Centre we no longer have. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Discworld QOTD, from Eric “Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realize that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons. Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake.”
