Note that this report predates the enormous lobbing of shells at the hospitals, schools, and homes of Gazans. Solid rocket fuel is likely to become a US manufacturing bottleneck too. Ask your congressman to Use Bombs Wisely.
With reasons well grounded in Chilean history, as I’m sure you may know. I’ve had a very eye opening time with this book, The Palestine Laboratory, free right now from the publisher. The first chapter is a pretty intense recounting of the ways that the Israeli government and military industry were materially supportive to Pinochet’s regime.
Traditional medical imaging works great for people with light skin but has trouble getting clear pictures from patients with darker skin. A Johns Hopkins University–led team found a way to deliver clear pictures of anyone's internal anatomy, no matter their skin tone....
Appreciate this deep dive. Worth adding that there is a detectable bit of extra mortality and morbidity with fingertip pulse oximeters when testing darker-skinned folks. The devices usually face the same issue as smartwatches. This interferes with timely treatment for acute and chronic symptoms of COVID and other conditions which cause lowered blood oxygen concentrations.
Supposedly the tech was out there to solve it, but it was expensive enough that medtech manufacturers hadn’t ever bothered making compatible devices at a scale to serve most patients or consumers.
It was some sciencey site reporting on a journal article, I’ll see if I can find it again. Don’t remember the tech beyond a dim impression that it was “more emitters, different wavelengths, higher energy”
The government should be afraid. Any sumo wrestler is only three missed bowls of chankonabe from judo throwing you off the raised dohyō platform into the third row.
I’m more grateful for paywalled Web 1.0 platforms from two decades ago than I have been in a long time. Metafilter’s FanFare section is low-volume but particularly satisfying for thoughtful movie chatter. It’s fun when bursts of comments in an old thread are years apart between a title’s theatrical release and arrival on streaming.
Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.
Per congressional bylaws, the only one who can permanently destroy the phylactery is the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, wielding the Mace of the Republic.
I’m not a doctor, but olfactory training might help you rehab your sense of smell faster. Here’s a little reading if you want: web.archive.org/web/…/d41586-022-01628-9
You have a pair of tremendous reasons for wearing a respirator with P100+Nuisance Level Organic Vapor combo cartridges. Stanky jobs and not getting long COVID again are much easier having taken the ~$60 plunge and committed myself to Baneface.
This is what I use, in Large. With big eyepro I’d feel comfortable at a fucking concert with it.
Soft paddle filters are a little bit more breathable, but against stank are either these water-resistant P100+nuisanceOV hardcases for normal stank or bigger organic vapor P100 cartridges for heavy duty. Ziploc when not in use:
Is that real? The funeral industry is horrifically villainous and predatory, companies like SCI could use a punch in the mouth from a bigger and less evil gorilla
I appreciate heavily armed friends who aren’t ashamed to wear masks that work. Remember a couple years ago when the military briefly embraced adorable duckbill-shaped N95s? That was a good era
A new report shared with VICE News outlines the massive growth so-called Active Clubs, neo-Nazi fitness and fight clubs, have experienced in both the United States and internationally.
Brazilian jiu jitsu seems like a hilariously bad choice of core discipline for these assholes, in every way other than popularity amongst shitheads.
Rather crap on asphalt, useless in groups
Cops often have at least enough combatives training to neutralize techniques if grappled
Demographic guarantees highest proportion of scumbags blacklisted from other gyms. They’ll be thinking they’re in a Pahlaniuk novel and refusing to tap out when defeated, fake tapping, leaving chokes on too long, or snapping a locked bone because they’re angwy
Paper bag testable fashy instructors are gonna be subpar, and members will seek to train with other gyms for access to legitimate BJJ competitions. Some proud sons of the South are gonna get manhandled by gentle-spirited IT professionals, petite women, and roided out beefcakes who warmed up listening to the Gypsy Kings.
It will break some Nazi brains to experience homoerotic submission at the hands and heavy hips of people with better politics and bigger meatier love in their hearts.
Note also that in the only gospel where the whip is mentioned, the construction of the weapon is premeditated. He didn’t just grab some leather strips off a table and start swinging; the action in John 2:15 starts specifically when he has made a φραγέλλιον, phrageillon in Greek, more famous in Latin as the flagellum.
φραγέλλιον phragéllion, frag-el’-le-on … a whip, i.e. Roman lash as a public punishment:—scourge. source
A different Greek word is used for ‘whip’ elsewhere in the New Testament; this one only occurs here in John, and in Matthew and Mark to describe the particularly Roman whipping Jesus receives later on.
Anyway, a flagellum is basically a cat o’ nine tails, and has either a braided leather handle or a heavy stick attached to cords with knots. Making one takes a while, and one worth using to drive out the cattle is going to take some chunks out of a moneychanger. Fancy Roman flagella that feature later on in the scripture had hooks and chains, and were sometimes gladiatorial weapons. Castlevania shit.
This has been your regularly scheduled moment of the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There you go.
This is the one-way masking everyone expects of the immune compromised, I’m just glad they can go boating in a public park together. Besides, that GP-5 is for da people. Manufactured in the millions, with vintage filter canisters absolutely chock full of wonderfully protective asbestos.
It’s probably for the best, frothing milk in a French press inside a white-void kitchen isn’t an appropriate situation for a youngster. They need Jurassic Park style brushed steel counters with terrifying steam-belching hundred pound commercial espresso machines
When sailing in formal attire, what do we think about a life vest under the suit jacket? Tailoring for big enough shoulder pads would’ve made it blend right in, and the pop of day-glo orange would fit the aesthetic. Think of the yacht fashions we could’ve had!

When someone says "games", what's the first thing that comes to mind?
For me it’s PC games, for my gf it’s tabletop games, so I was interested, what do you folks imagine as the first thing when someone says “games”?
