  • I’m sure the CEO saying this has absolutely nothing to do with the administration’s attempt to force the drug manufacturers to justify the validity of the vaccine. There is no way he would say something like that, just to create headlines tying the president to the success of vaccine. The president is way too smart and well adjusted to be manipulated by someone implying that if the president questions the vaccine, he is saying he didn’t deserve the Nobel. It must be a complete coincidence.

    /s… in case I was somehow more subtle than the Pfizer CEO.






  • “Without sacraficing university values,” implies the university values never included integrity, morality, or common fucking sense. Brown keeps their academic independence… as long as they do what they are told.

    And this is how rights are stripped away. One at a time. This time, it’s about archaic definitions of “male” and “female.” What’s next? Sexuality, right? No gays allowed, or you’ll lose funding. Followed by people of color? Then women? It will be one concession after another. And Brown just said, they are not only fine with it, they’ll pay $50m for the privilege.

    Doesn’t sound like a school that has their students in mind.

    Sodium Hydroxide, when exposed to Carbon Dioxide (already in the air), combines to become Sodium Carbinate.

    NaOH + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O

    Sodium Carbinate then reacts with water and more Carbon Dioxide to become Sodium Bicarbinate, which is baking soda.

    Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NaHCO3

    Not only does a Sodium Oxyde fuel cell produce electricity, it takes CO2 out of the atmosphere.

    From a physics and chemistry point of view, it’s pretty cool. I’m curious how well it scales though.





  • I inherited an old Delta table saw from the 80’s. The fence on it was in horrible shape when I got it. After a ton of research, I ended up getting the Shop Fox W2005 Classic Fence with Standard Rails.

    The fence itself is great. Slides easy. Locks in place and stays there. Easy to adjust.

    It took a little time to get aligned properly. After messing with it for a day or so, I bought guage to ensure it is 1/128" off square from the miter slot. Once it was set, I’ve had no issues.

    Overall, I highly recommend it, if it is in your budget.



  • Do you really think the US has any real concern about being attacked? There is plenty to say about US policies, both good and bad. Part of that is the nearly $1T per year spent on the military. I don’t think you’ll find many credible people who think attacking the US will be good for whoever does it.

    Attacking the US has been, historically, one thing that tends to unite the country. We - Americans - like building shit and we like fighting people. We never stop building new weapons. But when there is no-one to fight, we fight each other. There is a huge social divide in the US right now. You want to fix that, attack us.
