With Putin Looking On, Russian Rocket Fails to Launch
Russia’s space agency postponed the inaugural launch of a rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Far East, citing technical problems.I do not want to depend on "glitches" to prevent a nuclear war.

Couple Charged With Selling Illegal Guns in New York
Abdul Davis and his girlfriend, Shelita Funderberk, are accused of selling 82 weapons, including pistols, shotguns and assault rifles, which were originally bought in the South.Busted is busted.
The sentence is up to the judge.
I am not interested in the business.
Design of guns is an interesting problem but I don't want to participate in the business.

The agency attributed the increase to better estimates, but Senator Orrin G. Hatch called for it “to get smarter about guaranteeing tax compliance.”It is called "moral hazard".

A New Shoe Brand That Puts (Extreme) Comfort First
A new line, Hopp, releases shoes with a sleek shape and padded insoles.I suspect that Eree Kim does not understand shoe comfort.
I found a pair of open sandals with hard insoles and good support
That have taken me through last winter in comfort.
They get wet and get dry and keep me away from the broken glass and ice.

How to Deliver a Baby
Radiate calm. Trust the mother’s instincts about pushing.It is not an experience I have had or expect to have.
If that changes I will try to follow the instructions.

How Smart Is a ‘Smart’ Dinosaur?
Kenneth Chang, who recently reported on a paleontologist’s finding that tyrannosaurs evolved “sophisticated brains” before they became “colossal apex predators,” considers the question.I have no direct evidence.
"The smartest dinosaurs were about as smart as birds (which, after all, are descendants of dinosaurs), and the smartest dinosaurs then were not as smart as the smartest birds today, such as crows."
There were many for a long time.
The smartest were quite smart.
They stayed alive in a competitive environment.
