It happens in New Jersey too. What typically happens is there is an unexpected layover (say, due to weather), so the victims take possession of their luggage (with firearm) without malicious intent when they go to a hotel, and get arrested

Straight edge razors are kind of like cast iron pans: there is a little more upkeep, but the amount needed is blown out of proportion by enthusiasts on the internet. For myself (with corse hair) upkeep means a minute of stropping before ev

Wow, I'm at a total loss to explain why my own experience differs so greatly from yours: using ToBS cream, I've got lather in half a minute and I've lathered, stropped, shaved, and cleaned up in 10… chalk it up to the divers

Bluntly, I don't care what they do so long as they do their job, and frankly, their personal lives are none of my business; they're a highly-educated mature adult capable of figuring it out just like their peers in the profession

I've tried to do that comparison, and the best I could come up with is that I'm not convinced it's possible. Crimes are both reported and categorized differently between the two countries, which is a major cofound, and the r

I'd be interested to hear from people that were around when expert systems were in vogue the first time around as to why they didn't take off in medicine, and what is new (if anything) in the new wave?

I've long wondered if, in addition to opening up the NICS system to private individuals for private transactions, the blockchain could be used to demonstrate that a background check was performed without the hassles of dealing with an

I think we both agree that occupational health and safety, as it's generally practiced in academia, is an abomination; the sooner academia comes up to industry standards, the better. Reading in C&EN about completely preventable acc

Also OmniGraphSketcher, a wonderful and unique utility that Omni divested from. Kindly, they open-sourced it;[0] sadly, the project shows no activity since last year and would seem to be abandoned.[1] [0] https://www.omnigroup.co

Rereading OP's comment, I misread it a bit and responded to the wrong part. You're absolutely right, progress on Unicode in Tcl stalled out after the low-hanging fruit of UCS-2 was achieved.

Yeah, that's when I was the most worried, when I was using stuff meant to muck with cell signaling solvated in DMSO. Be sure you're using the correct gloves! The "sensitive" nitrile and latex gloves typically found in bi

I was kidding. I however do think refusing to work with a uniquely useful substance because of the risks, without considering risk mitigation, is irrational and can impede good science.

Speaking with my chemist's hat on… wimp . Seriously, there are any number of nasty things floating around a wet chemistry lab. Chromerge and piranha solutions (sometimes aqua regia ) for cleaning glassware, various super acids and ba
