A quotation from Moliere

   SGANARELLE: Have you no fears about returning here? It was here, Sir, that you killed that Commander, six months ago.
   DON JUAN: Why should I be afraid? Didn’t I kill him properly?
 
   [SGANARELLE: Et n’y craignez-vous rien, monsieur, de la mort de ce commandeur que vous tuâtes il y a six mois?
   DON JUAN: Et pourquoi craindre? ne l’ai-je pas bien tué?]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Don Juan [Dom Juan], Act 1, sc. 2 (1665) [tr. Wilbur (2001)]

Deep Sky Derelicts is a turn base game like Darkest Dungeon. I never liked Darkest Dungeon because I played another game called Iratus before playing DD. Deep Sky Derelicts is kind of similar. But the dueling system and equipment system are pretty different. Some people dislike the energy and credit system in the game. I think it's ok. The normal mode is not too difficult because the AI isn't playing the best strategy. I bought the game for $1 from Fanatical. #gaming

I once got a job interview for a life changing job (which I took) because I listed #Fencing or, maybe #Dueling, on my resume! It got me through the door, I learned to code statistics in #SAS and I ended up as a faculty member in #Epidemiology

Fate of US abortion drug hangs in balance ahead of Friday deadline

#Mifepristone will lose its FDA approval this week unless an appeals court intervenes in a case likely to reach the Supreme Court

#Dueling #opinions set the stage for the supreme court to possibly intervene.
“On one hand, you have a ruling that says to #defer to the #expertise of the #FDA and keep the status quo while another says to #second-#guess the FDA with #junk #science,” says David S Cohen, law professor at Drexel University, who focuses on reproductive rights.
“When you have different rulings from different federal courts it is more likely for the US supreme court to get involved.”

woohoo, looks like I'll be able to duck down to Wellington on the 19th November and watch some of the Lightsaber Dueling at the NZ Lightsaber Guild Spring 2022 Lightsaber Tournament. I'm sure there will be some good dueling to see. #NZLG #NZLightsaberGuild #Lightsaber #Dueling #MayTheForceBeWithYou
