Exactly; I was on that list and looked at the db during the intial controversy. I looked up some of my neighbours, and it was clear to me they had no obvious connection to the issue, and had in fact very similar or exact things to say, as I

This old, but I was ridiculed at my ER visit w/ my >1 y.o - after waiting for many hours they mocked us since her temp was only 104.8, not the truly urgent at 105.1, or some such numbers, an arbitrary distinction at least to us non-

Tesla same; drove one a few weeks ago, had 6 adults in it, and room for more I think. More than enough room.

Exactly; my Dodge Caravan Sport w/3.8L would turn the 16 tires easily, handled well, fun to drive, and hauled all of my family, building materials, and machinery. 19 years and 240k miles, was cheap to own, not pretty anymore but still

Yes; people on lakes already share pontoon trailers. And yes they can be difficult at first to back up, but like everything a little bit of practice and you have a new life skill.

Similar, except I went through Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Protection Bureau, the one Republicans want to kill off. I actually got a direct, hand signed letter from PayPal's chief legal counsel listing the ways they would, and did

All of my college peeps learned BASIC* while running the interpreter. We learned to fingerbone in the seq. to load from the tape, after the tape loaded I don't recall, but we then could get an OK prompt maybe from the BASIC interpreter

I would just love a couple of small vertical turbines slowly pumping up my underground storage. I live in a sometimes violent wind location, often just when I could use the energy to run the furnace. I could see easily augering 10-15ft hole

Agreed with all your points; the old term was bureaucrats. The term "deep state", to me, is very loaded, reeking of conspiracy theories, especially in today's politics. Thanks for the response.

It may increase domestic production for domestic customers, but I think we ran that experiment before. What I found decades ago is that products made domestically, driven by greed, profit seeking, marketing and labor costs were too expensiv

We already tried this (ex. gasoline stations) and it doesn't work: there is no way someone who pollutes an entire aquifer with barrels of toxin can be made to financially or mechanically remediate it. It always falls upon the governmen

I lived then and these pictures are very shallow and only show a little of what things were like. They should show things like Fishkill, NY, and how we would dump trash out in the sea, how every area had an impromptu dump down by the river

We have a vast history of negative experience - your experiment was performed historically, and failed. Regulations didn't just appear - they arrived often because of often vast weaknesses or failures in our systems; whether moral, eth

We were taught to do it that way, without having access to spice and computers in general, using the data sheets and maybe a curve tracer if you were lucky.

That makes me want to go inside my older machine and mark the current positions, say with a sharpy or dye. Mine had the main plastic timing pulley break in half and is un-obtainium. So I epoxied the pieces together, while drilling holes and

Oh, they learned some of it (now adults), just not at the level I was exposed to - and that is it really, always competing priorities.

Rosin core predates that computer by a half century, at least. Kester was formed in 1899 just for that purpose, according to them. Was just looking at Allied Radio 1933 and rosin core solder is prominent. Not sure why the comments; radio b

According to Kester, the solder company, they were formed in 1899 to make flux cored solder. Looking at the 1933 Allied Radio clearly shows Kester rosin core solder.

Been soldering/desoldering that very type of equipment for many decades; it is perfectly normal, and what you would have seen in commercial products of the time, from TVs to computers to even military, IIRC.

Oh, I never saw your original claim. The only thing I saw was your challenge to me about sources to my assertions. I don't keep sources handy, but have a historical interest in the area and retain what I read.
