100% spot on, sadly. The level of misogyny and other types of bigotry was the most surprising, when taken relative to the university environment in general.

American Giant. Expensive, but they have a great warranty and the craftsmanship is top notch.

Good. If the regents and their lackeys had their way, everyone at the UC would be working for the military industrial complex and the executive leadership would keep raking in their bloated, obscene salaries.

The faculty and students make the university, and without them it’s just another grift. I don’t know if this charge will have an effect, but it must be tried.

Women are not really relevant to what the actives are trying to do so they are obviously not bringing them up at convention or not this video helped me understand why an elementary schooler might actual know what we find a new leak in our ceiling and we also need to secure a cat sitter to the firehose of content that a massive social media platform brings.

Requires an acid catalyst for the reaction to actually proceed, but yeah, could definitely ruin your day - although a lungful of chlorine gas is nothing to sneeze at either.

Same for my two cats, they are on non-chicken diets (rabbit-based and I think duck-based) and their vomiting, diarrhea, and itchiness have all been greatly reduced or outright eliminated.

My partner (a practicing small animal veterinarian) sorted them out a few years ago, and also confirms that chicken allergies are super common. They were fine for 5 or 6 years of their lives, then they just were unable to handle the chicken. Figuring out which of the alternatives they liked enough to consistently eat was the toughest part, lol, they’re super picky.

According to the story I heard as to the origin of the “no liquids over X amount” rule, years ago there was a terrorist that tried to smuggle hydrogen peroxide and acetone - which can be used to rather easily synthesize triacetone triperoxide (TATP, a highly sensitive explosive) - onto a plane in plastic toiletry bottles. They got caught and foiled somehow, and then the TSA started restricting liquids on planes. This was in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, if I recall correctly.

And I happen to know, from a reliable source, of someone who accidentally made TATP in a rotary evaporator in an academic lab. So it seems plausible.

Not that the rule is actually effective prevention against similar attacks, nor that the TSA even knows what the reason is behind what they do at this point, haha. I just thought it was an interesting story.

No postage needed in California, nor Massachusetts if I recall correctly. Does your state really make you find a stamp to vote in 2024? That sucks, sorry to hear that.
