 "Although researchers have taken a variety of scientific approaches to elucidating the underlying mechanism, we still do not have a full picture of how this occurs," Suntory representatives wrote in a statement ...

There will be space pirates one day, as sure as the sun comes up. Where will they hide? And how will they spend their loot? Who will catch them?

That's extremely extraterritorial jurisdiction, so I recommend the original Constitutional remedy (see Article 1, Section 8), Letters of Marque and Reprisal. Commission some other, even badder, space pirates to after the ones who bother us. It worked with the earthbound pirates.

James: Here's a Canadian folk song / sea shanty about privateers raiding Yankee commerce ships during the Revolutionary War - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIwzRkjn86w

Those Canadian privateers weren't too successful against US armed merchantmen, but the strategy is sound. Just use bigger guns next time.

GWB: There are so many rumors and so much tea-leaf-reading going on about Joe Biden that I don't know what to think. For example, there's buzz that his wife has signed up for a full course load for the Fall semester (she teaches English at Northern Virginia Community College) which naturally means she things he won't run. If I had to guess, I'd say he will not run, but he'll drag out the speculation for as long as possible because he loves speculating about the possibility.
