I used to work for a startup that laid claim to all "ideas" that I had, in or out of working hours, during my period of employment with them.

Correct. Plywood gets a lot of strength from the alternating grain directions in each layer and the core plys aren't always the same species as the veneer/face plys.

The grain pattern looks like veneer instead of solid wood.

Black walnut top, purpleheart legs, and maybe a maple plywood drawer front?

Looks like the side of the casing might also be the same hardwood plywood, just stained much darker?

This article is worth reading if only for this line:

However, though drug companies have had some success targeting the Death Receptor-5, no Fas agonists have made it into clinical trials.

Yeah, I think the argument is that you shouldn't need the cars to get people where they need to go. This can be addressed two ways: either we don't use cars or we don't need to go (as far).

People should be able to travel with other modes that require less salt to deice, and cities could be built to not require cars for most trips. Salting sidewalks and bus lanes is better than salting those things plus roads and highways.

It's also worth considering that yes, people should be able to just stay home. People shouldn't be at risk of losing their job/home because they couldn't safely make it into work. Parents shouldn't have to rely on school as daycare.

I'd be curious to see if urban heat Island affects salt use. Maybe if we build dense enough, we don't even really need salt to cover 99% of the population.

If you're working at Lockheed and only making 90k you're doing it wrong.

I wish the US had better passenger rail infrastructure so people traveling long distance didn't need to road trip.

I'm lucky to be in a position where I can ride a train to the two closest cities so I'm picking up an EV. Anything longer distance and I'll either fly or rent an ICE.

Corporations are not people, therefore do not have a right to free speech.

IDF can probably find entrances that are in use, but probably can't easily detect how those entrances connect to each other, or what is actually in the tunnels (a weapons cache? Communications bunker? Hostages? Nothing?) Not to mention emergency exits or booby traps. If IDF seals an entrance, how do they know there isn't a back door that nobody uses regularly? How do they know they aren't sealing hostages inside too?

Appa, yip yip!

Op, did you make this yourself or buy it somewhere? What do you play where you want this kind of mouse? I'm interested in mice where the sensor is closer towards the finger tips and it looks like that's what this is? Would you say that makes more of a difference than the weight?

I used to work in a brewery and we used hot caustic followed by acid for cleaning most things but some pneumatic (spent) grain systems got pigged in freezing weather to avoid the wet grain freezing into a plug.

Depending on what you're cleaning and the nature of the pipe (is it smooth or does it contain sharp bends?) you could consider pigging.

Born and raised in the Midwest here - 'mum' meaning silent makes perfect sense to me. It's not common but I would've chalked that up to time, not geography. That said, a saying like "mum's the word" does strike me as British.

Brave is based on Chromium, not Firefox.

There are Firefox derivatives, but most "alternative" browsers are based on Chromium.

Like when I'm going from my shift at my first job to my shift at my second job?

Reminds me of 2016's smash-hit mixtape WATCH THE STOVE from Hamburger Helper.

I don't consider Oklahoma to be in the Midwest but regions are made up - be whatever you want, or nothing at all.
