MODERN TIMES
At this late date, how is it that even a semi-intelligent person not understand how an airborne pathogen gets from one diseased body into a healthy one?
This insanity will be diagnosed for years.

I once made my third trip to my toddler's room, gave her a big kiss, and told her that I love her very much but a little less than at 9pm.

Poker machines are cyclical. I good friend of mine owned a bar with a poker machine and learned when the machine was due to payout. We made a fortune.

Racing Tardigrades, Because Why Not
"Tardigrades are microscopic creatures that have possibly taken over the lunar surface. Scientists believe that these animals are now thriving on the moon after an Israeli spacecraft crash-landed on the Moon in 2019. The spacecraft contained a ‘library of life,’ which included a stack of disks archiving 30 million pages of information about Earth, a copy of the entire English-language Wikipedia, human DNA samples, and thousands of tardigrades: Beresheet's strange occupants were dehydrated tardigrades, a process which essentially slows their metabolism down and suspends them in a near-life state. The idea was that, if they were to be rehydrated by someone or something, then they would come back to life, ostensibly telling future lunar explorers about life on Earth today. But the spacecraft carrying the tardigrades didn’t land on the Moon according to plan, instead, it crashed on the lunar surface and lost contact with ground control. Despite the impact, scientists believe that if anything survived the crash intact, it may well have been the tardigrades. The microscopic creatures were sandwiched between micron-thin sheets of nickel and suspended in epoxy, a resin-like preservative that acts like a jelly — potentially enough to cushion their landing. This is not a totally outlandish idea. Tardigrades have been shown to survive the harsh conditions of space in the past."
A Family With No Fingerprints
It seems that not all people get a unique set of swirls at their fingertips. This unique condition, which manifested in Apu Sarker’s family, is a rare genetic mutation. The condition, called Adermatoglyphia, renders people affected with it to have no fingerprints and a reduced amount of sweat glands on their hands.

MISHAPS AND MISFORTUNES
I recently watched a Russian movie that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. The errors drove me nuts.
First, a saboteur floats down a river concealed under random brush all the while being observed by the Germans.
But after blowing up the bridge the debris floats away in the opposite direction.
I did have to look up a word.
The problem is this: ‘for a goat to be able to eat grass in a circle with an area of an exactly one-half acre, how much rope does it need?’
The goat problem is a living example of what it means to round off your answer. To illustrate the difference, consider the equation x2 − 2 = 0. One could derive an approximate numerical answer, x = 1.4142, but that’s not as accurate or satisfying as the exact solution, x = √2.
With a few moments of thought, the goat problem quickly turns into an exercise in many intersecting approximations. This is why every answer offered since the 1700s has been an approximation as well.
And now, finally, there’s an exact solution for the first time. Mathematician Ingo Ullisch took a cue from the previous researchers who made progress on the problem. He introduced complex analysis, which is kind of like algebra with an optional imaginary-number add-on.

Pence bragged that Trump was the first president in a long time not to have started a war someplace.
No, he just started a war right here in America.

Puzzle:
Acre=43560 sq ft
1/2 acre=21780 sq ft
Circle area = pi * r**2
21780 = pi * r**2
r**2 = 21780/3.14159...
r**2 = 6932.789321...
r = 83.26337322...
rope length = approximately 83 feet, 3.16 inches
the goat problem as presented in your blog isn't really what the goat problem is...according to the link provided, it is the following:
"Here’s a simple-sounding problem: Imagine a circular fence that encloses one acre of grass. If you tie a goat to the inside of the fence, how long a rope do you need to allow the animal access to exactly half an acre?"
This makes the puzzle infinitely more complicated and is why the solution was such a breakthrough.
Steve's solution is the correct answer to the way you posed the problem, but it really isn't the "goat problem".
Being a Londoner, I use rhyming slang in everyday life and have always used "Going for a 'Donald Trump', as a way of saying I'm gonna take a Dump! :)
