And clearly based on the intense response you win the controversial statement award

Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and yet we all pronounce it “lay-Zer” not “lay-Ser”

It is not illegal to send money by mail and there are legitimate reasons to do so. This is a blatant money grab by a corrupt government.

People really want to believe that her plan is terrible and would make regular people like them suffer more and pay more and it would destroy the middle class and aren’t we suffering enough!

What possible evidence would there be to “prove” this negative? Maybe if we happened to find the exact source animal to test?

Farmed honey bees can actually harm local pollinators through competing for resources.

“Most studies on COVID-19 vaccines have focused on neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses, with little emphasis on cellular immunity. However, accumulating data suggest that T cell responses play an important role in vaccine protection against severe COVID-19 disease, particularly against viral variants that partially escape from recognition by NAbs. These insights have implications for using current COVID-19 vaccines and for developing next-generation vaccines against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases”

I never see this mentioned but Darknet Diaries is actually a really informative and entertaining podcast about hacking, the dark web, physical penetration testing (gone wrong), nation-state cyber attacks.

I do find cooking easier in grams. Just put the bowl on the scale and add ingredients until it hits the number. No measuring cups to wash. But it would life changing if woodworking switched to metric. Doing any sort of exact math is annoying as hell. What is 12’7” divided by 4? How many 1/8” is 0.55 inches?? It is my own personal hell.
