chris_gerribI had an enjoyable dinner Saturday night - it was a gourmet wine and food pairing, part of a fundraiser for Moraine Valley Community College. Other than that, no news worth reporting, so, have some links:
A) Smurched from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaylake - rocket powered by nuclear fusion promises 30- and 90-day expeditions to Mars. This is true fusion, but at microscopic levels, yielding small pulses of thrust. In terms of travel time, it's VASIMR-levels, but without the need to lug around a big generator. If they can get it to work, it's a big deal.
B) An interesting article about making police officers wear small video cameras. It was sold to cops as preventing false reports against them, but it also appears to cause cops to use force less often.
C) An interesting post in defense of the slave Leia costume. Money quote: To me, that gold bikini says, If you fuck with me, I will end you. (italics in original)
D) Presented for sheer coolness value: So I bought a firetruck.
