TIL. Seems to be a rigid scope, so:

Rigid cystoscope: These cystoscopes don’t bend. Your provider may pass instruments through the tube to perform biopsies or remove tumors. This cystoscope is usually only used with sedation or general anesthesia.

Doesn't explain the other hand though.

Birmingham AL, 1963

seize as political hostages *

I'm sure money is only one small piece, but there's u24.gov.ua if you want to help with the 2x-10x (I do!).

Like, wherever the latch(es) is/are?

They cut through a wall to reach the safe, sounds like some inside knowledge anyway.

TIL.

[T]he fungi can mate with nearly every individual of their species they meet. [...] 23,000 different sexual identities, a result of widespread differentiation in the genetic locations that govern its sexual behavior.

Why is it useful to call them sexual identities then? Are exact matches not able to mate?

— European countries: 54% — Asia-Pacific: 23% — Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel under the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords: 12% — North America: 9% — Latin America: 1% — Africa: 1%

Nearly half the deals were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems, Israel's defense ministry said.

Kinda shocked not to see the US higher up. Still, 9% should be 0% and sanctions / human rights abuse trials.

You seem super excited — what's cool about it?

I'll recommend "The Warmth of Other Suns" if you want a beautifully written history of racial history across the families / time periods in the US. Definitely helped me personalize & put together a lot of pieces left out of my education.

In regions where heating load (20⁰F up to 70⁰F = 50) is usually substantially more than cooling load (95 down to 70 = 25), does that negate the argument?

Vemuri wore a Keffiyeh during the speech, and called out MIT for having research ties with the Israel army and "aiding and abetting" the country with its "assault on the Palestinian people."

"MIT supports free expression but stands by its decision, which was in response to the individual deliberately and repeatedly misleading Commencement organizers and leading a protest from the stage, disrupting an important Institute ceremony."

I've definitely heard that line before: We are not retaliation for your criticism, just leveling major penalties for your minor infraction of an unwritten beaurocratic rule.

About Google:

The sackings followed a demonstration at Google's San Francisco office on Friday, attended by more than 200 Google employees. Two of the four fired employees [...] spoke at the protest. [...] Google's Security and Investigations team said the employees were routinely accessing information about other projects and employees inappropriately.

It was like overcrowded, literally maybe a dozen plus, 14, 15 people were lying on the floor and there was no space for me. That's why they put me in a TV room. The TV would be on for 21 hours in a day. It will turn off between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.”

The cruelty is the point.

Also, we hear and Badar Khan Suri, about Rümeysa Öztürk, but there are dozens of people in these gulags who we're not hearing about. They need (obviously) to be shut down entirely.

Good call, time to block & move on.

Sounds pretty in line with "Controversies" on Wikipedia.

We need laws to pay reparations for wrongful conviction/imprisonment. Probably after we start dealing with wrongful murder by paid gangs.

The lawsuit was filed after 15-year-old high school sophomore (second year student) Blake Robbins was disciplined at school for his behavior in his bedroom.[6][14] The school based its decision to discipline Robbins on a photograph that had been secretly taken of him in his bedroom, via the webcam in his school-issued laptop. Without telling its students, the schools remotely accessed their school-issued laptops to secretly take pictures of students in their own homes, their chat logs, and records of the websites they visited.

Incredibly gross.

I didn't have a printer but do know someone with one, I bet I could ask for a little filament. Sounds fun to try.

In this case combined with accidental side pressure and cold weather.

Thanks! Yeah, I think the string is taking the major tension load, and the glue just keeps it from falling off / unwinding / abrading.

Fun solution, I do have some other failed plastic pieces I might want to upgrade to metal.

Though SCS seems to do flat/folded pieces, not volumetric, from skimming their site.
