quote:

Penrose found he was able to talk with Hawking even as the latter’s speech failed. It seemed that whenever Penrose misunderstood, it was a joke or an invitation to dinner. But the main thing that came across was Hawking’s absolute determination not to let anything get in his way. “He thought he didn’t have long to live, and he really wanted to get as much as he could done at that time,” Penrose said.

Good on him. It's awesome that he got a normalish timespan out of his life in the end.

edit: Again? Well okay...

Pretty sure they said no automatic recounts due to the election type, but they only need like 5 people from each precinct to demand one. So there will be one.

Man, after reading A Brief History of Time and Black Holes and Time Warps, I was all gung-ho in pursuing a career in astrophysics sophomore year of high school.

Instead, I decided on a career in engineering, cause I wanted to make money (and then I was an idiot and went into research, lol)

PA doesnt have automatic recounts, they need a petition signed by a certain number of people from each precinct to start a recount

so yeah there'll almost certainly probably be a recount

Recounts rarely change things by that many votes.

Unless it's one of those Waukesha situations where that one shady clerk "found" a bunch of votes that just happened to sway the election.

Green Party candidate was on state GOP payroll

quote:

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A man who registered as a Green Party candidate for Montana's U.S. Senate race was on the state Republican Party's payroll and heads a newly formed anti-tax group, according to a review of election documents.

Timothy Adams filed as a challenger Monday against Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, who faces a tough re-election campaign, in a race where a Green Party candidate could siphon votes from the Democrat.

Adams' name and phone number is the same as the treasurer of Montanans Against Higher Taxes, a group formed to oppose a legislative referendum on the ballot this fall for a 10-year property tax extension for the state's university system.
