Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.

Back in the days that home solar systems still mostly used lead-acid batteries - which in some cases of degradation could be repaired, at least partially, if you had some good strong and reasonably pure sulfuric acid - I viewed a YouTube video on how to make it. (From epsom salts by electrolysis using a flowerpot and some carbon rods from old large dry cells).

For months afterward YouTube "suggested" I'd be interested in videos from a bunch of Islamic religious leaders . (This while people were wondering how Islamic Terrorists were using the Internet to recruit among high-school out-group nerds.)

Software - AI and otherwise - often creates unintended consequences. B-)

from TFA:

> Foreigners attempting to avoid their obligation in relation to the new law will be added to a registry of monitored individuals and deported from Russia.

So they don't care HOW you are trying to work around the law; if they have (or invent) any reason to believe you are TRYING to work around it, you will be deported.

The unicode was on the Toms Hardware article. Not an iPhone artifact (this time).

The unicode characters in use were subscripted 2's. Bismuth_sub_2, Oxygen_sub_2, Selenium

I tried to post the line corrected for its unicode, but apparently Slashdot can't handle a <sub> tag.

2D Bi2O2Se, are more flexible and sturdy at a small scale than silicon, which runs into reduced carrier mobility at even the 10nm node.

We had a lab known to be unsafe. A lab known to be performing gain of function on the specific type of virus that emerged in public. We have a lab in close proximity to the market where the outbreak was traced back to.

We also had rumors that low-paid lab techs supplemented their income by selling test animals they'd been ordered to destroy to the nearby wet market.
