Are you kidding? If I were his surgeon, I would be in a full hazmat suit. It's like wading into a walking Superfund site.

Might throw on some chainmail and a broadsword for good measure in case his brain worm is feeling frisky.

A new Wall Street Journal investigation finds DHS is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers.

Belle Cushing is one of the reporters behind the investigation. She spoke with MPR News guest host Emily Reese about it.

I can't get over that you went to a local laundromat, said "We want to take over your place once a month for an event we call "Loads of Love".

And the owner looked you dead in your eye and said "That sounds great to me!"

Gee, it was so hard to tell.

Makes me think she's lying, because the producers didn't have to remind her to breathe on-air. So she's not THAT stupid.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Just remember when you look it up: PET and PETG have different chemical compatibilities. Don't rely on a PETG chart to tell you about PET chemical compatibility.

07.03.2026 03:30 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Long answer: none of the compatibility charts I have list it with ferric chloride, but PlasticsEurope has it listed as having good resistance to pure ferric nitrate, a similar oxidizer. But since it's a different anion and it's aqueous, it's safer to test it before relying on it.

Short answer: it's probably fine, but I would test it before you use it with a valuable project.

FDA’s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration’s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

It is impossible for anyone younger the 50 to understand how grotesque and unoriginal this is. It’s always the small group of advisors or tactical team.
