In a story that could have come straight from The Simpsons, a gaming PC owner says their rig saved them from being shot after their neighbor's dog – yes, dog – accidentally discharged a firearm. The bullet traveled through a wall heading toward the person, but it changed trajectory after hitting a RAM stick, which these days is likely more expensive than bulletproof shielding. Redditor angelbabyzz writes on r/pcmasterrace that they woke up in the middle of the night to a bang and glass hitting them in the face. While angelbabyzz was presumably in a daze, the neighbor arrived crying,...

Just when you thought David French's favorite new theologian couldn't get any worse. 😂 I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity. WHAT A QUOTE! Here's the longer quote: I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity, right? And I always get drawn back into it because nowhere else, in no other political philosophy, in no other economic theory, do I find anything as truly radical or revolutionary as the teachings of that barefoot Rabbi. I'm sure Talarico, who is running against Republican Ken Paxton for the U.S. Senate seat in TEXAS, will try...

Explanation: What would it look like to fly past Triton, the largest moon of planet Neptune? Only one spacecraft has ever done this -- and the images of this dramatic encounter have been gathered into a video. In 1989, the Voyager 2 robotic spacecraft shot through the Neptune system with cameras blazing. Triton is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon but has ice volcanoes and a surface rich in frozen nitrogen. The first sequence in the video shows Voyager's approach to Triton, which, with the exception of an overall false green tint, appears in approximately true color. The mysterious cantaloupe terrain...

When Canada legalized medical assistance in dying (MAID) in 2016, the public debate focused largely on one situation: people facing the end of life and suffering intolerably. For many Canadians, that remains their understanding of the law today. But Canada’s MAID framework has evolved significantly since then. In 2021, Parliament expanded the law through Bill C-7, creating two pathways for assisted death. The first pathway applies to people whose natural death is imminent and expected soon (reasonably foreseeable). The second — known as “Track 2” — allows separate access to MAID for individuals with disabilities who are not dying. This...
