I was on the room next to an ultracentrifuge when it went off balance (one of the tubes in it cracked). The outer containment (barely) held, but that’s one of the loudest things I’ve ever heard.

Let’s not try to normalize cripplingly low wages and justify having a underclass that has no choice but to try to subsist on them.

These big ag conglomerates are posting record profits while underpaying the workers. Americans should be able to work these jobs and our society shouldn’t require this sort of exploitation to function.

No kidding. That’s the actual response, by the way. I thought the OP was joking.

But think of the extra profits to be made!

We can do injection molding in the US, and probably for nearly the same price (as paid by the customer). The reason things like this are produced overseas is to maximize profit collected by the companies, and secondarily to skirt environmental laws (for even higher profits).

The tariffs are stupid, but the reason for so much of the current shit situation is naked greed and short-sighted profit chasing.

Complicit gits.

During the court proceedings, the defense attorney had to explicitly ask him out for her.

Unfortunately, these work best in desert and mountain regions where water scarcity is becoming a bigger concern.

I hate getting fixated on looks, but geez man.

Any pilot nerds out there? Is this a normal situation to use “mayday” for? I know that plane can fly with one engine (though not sure if that’s the case during ascent at only 5000 ft), but it seems like ATC would give them priority as soon as they asked for it.

I sort of thought mayday was only for extremely dire circumstances.

Whitman’s is such a sad story. I wonder if this will turn out to be similarly awful.

Is that just a fusor? Because it looks a lot like the one in my garage, but shinier.

Username checks out.

Ah, so this explains the hit pieces I’ve been seeing against the university lately.

Global like if the US experiences staggering water shortages, the rest of the world is going to get pulled into the excitement.

Hard evidence existing may be met with his administration releasing more provably false videos, like the one of Obama being arrested. He’ll then claim that the evidence was manufactured.

Or, more accurately, this is what the establishment Democrats were willing to accept to avoid having to stop supporting genocide or to embrace popular progressive policies.

Try following these orders.

Not following orders isn’t an offense punishable by summary execution in the US. Keep your authoritarian bootlicking attitude away from our country, please.

They’re the same picture meme. Seriously, ACAB.

They only see the impression of the object in the sand now because some billionaire snagged it and is hoarding it in his lair.
