Dammit Jareh, now I have to sit through another security briefing because of your dumb ass. I literally just did my latest training last week, now we're probably all gonna have to go through it all over again.

I'm not sure that "Bloom himself" had much to do with v2. It was published two years after he passed away. Doesn't mean he wasn't somehow involved, but he wasn't listed as an author of the v2. I could be wron

I mean, if you could get your hands on a variable capacitor, you're in business. That was unlikely to be an item you could scrounge up though. The guys in the article managed to find a tube and other parts, so that's quite impre

The back and forth with regulatory agencies is so frustrating. Another user here pointed out a while back that the better regulatory model, when it comes to health, is to put the onus on the supplier. We must scientifically prove the thing
