TIL that the youngest American to serve in the military in WW2 was Calvin Graham, age 12. He served in the US Navy and fought at Guadalcanal, was awarded 8 medals which were subsequently stripped when his mother saw him on a news reel and told the Navy his real age.

TIL that fractual burning, a hobby/side hustle that uses a 2,100+ volt transformer from a scrapped microwave to burn decorative, treelike designs in wood, has killed at least 33 people in the U.S. since 2017, and gruesomely burned many others.

Russia has patented a hybrid rocket-guided munition that combines the properties of an aircraft and a missile. The relevant document is posted on the website of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property, which is part of Rospatent.
According to the denoscription provided by the developer, this hybrid ammunition is a tailless hull, swept wings with elevons, one vertical keel with rudders. It also includes a battery and a control system with a target guidance module. As follows from the document, the ammunition is launched using a 122mm MLRS rocket engine and is guided to the target by a homing module with possible adjustment from an external source, for example, a reconnaissance UAV.
The hybrid rocket guided munition combines the properties of an aircraft and a missile (...) In the lower part of the hull, reinforcement is fixed for attaching at least two rockets of 122 mm caliber (...) It is possible to fly the ammunition at a low altitude, following the folds of the terrain, with altitude and direction control for delivering pinpoint missile and bomb strikes on enemy targets
- says the denoscription.

Check out Alexander Unzicker's excellent Make Physics Great Again: America has Failed https://amzn.to/3FZct1B
Unzicker has long been one of the most effective and controversial critics of modern physics. Bankrupting Physics and The Higgs Fake exposed the false premises behind the imminent "theories of everything" and demonstrated that particle physics is an intellectual dead end. He's also pointed out overlooked physics pioneered by Einstein, Schrödinger, and Dirac, that may offer an escape from the current stagnation in physics theory.
Now in Make Physics Great Again, Unzicker offers an incisive historical and political critique of physics, replete with obscure but illuminating quotes and references. Unzicker encourages us to step back, question our premises, and think more deeply about the shaky foundation upon which contemporary physics rests.
A mark of a great book is how many tabs I insert into it to keep track of the best parts. And I now have the perfect book to place next to my favorite coffee mug.

"One of the worst failures in the history of US intelligence came to light 30 years ago. In 1994, it became known that the KGB had recruited the CIA agent responsible for working with Soviet informants. As a result, the US organization had lost years’ worth of work."

This incident appears like a scene from a Hollywood action movie, but it was not staged. As the Kia ran over a tire, it bounced off like a spring, launching the car several feet high. During its brief flight, the vehicle flipped over and crashed onto its roof and hood. Despite the severe damage to the body, the cabin remained mostly intact. The driver survived the accident. The video was captured by Anoop Khatra in 2023.
