It's interesting who we call terrorists and who we don't. If an Arab nation or organization had done this it would have been called a terrorist attack. Israel does it and people defend it.

Terrorist is a meaningless scare word for "people we don't like".

Most of the Olympic shooters use fancy gear like special eyepieces and what not. This guy Yusef Dikec from Turkiye rolled up without all that, stuck one hand in his pocket, shot with both eyes open and took silver along with his partner Sevval Tarhan.

[Bernie] may be old, but he's still mentally intact.

At that age mental acuity can go fast. I would vote for Bernie over Trump or Biden in a heartbeat, but I would rather have someone younger.

Blackout with two asterisks:

Puts things down, where'd it go: I usually don't do this, but only because I am very deliberate and systematic about where I put things. Similar to the sock question. (Do socks bother you? No, because I have a system)

Walking into walls (and other stationary objects): I don't do this much anymore, but I did quite a bit as a child.

My childhood home phone number is more burned into my memory than my current phone number.
