There's a company in florida that makes tritium betavoltaics in DIP-28 and LCC-44 packages but they only make rated current for ~20 years, the 2032 coin batteries are already a better solution before getting into the $5800 price tag also the rated current is like, a few hundred nanoamps

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Does this actually happen? I've signed employment agreements that include non-competes for practically every job including some in seriously anti-labor states, and it has never been a factor with changing jobs. The clemency for the 11 people was for distribution or conspiracy to distribute crack, coke and meth . I happened at the same time as the further expansion of the previous marijuana pardons which made the Biden Bad narrative easier to manufacture. As most marijuana possession cases are state cases which a President cannot pardon, there wasn't going to be as much effect anyway. Since federal labor law reaches considerably farther into employment everywhere in the US, there's going to be more effect than federal marijuana laws. So no, it's not like federal marijuana possession clemency where it helped like 11 people, because the premise is false. But it's even better because federal labor policy affects far, far more people than federal marijuana laws. But management will still try to screw labor, and since it's not FALGSC, Biden still bad.

psydude posted:I know people who have turned down offers of employment over fear of violating a non-compete. It has the effect of deterring people from moving companies, which translates to suppressed wages as well as limiting the spread and cross-pollination of ideas throughout an industry Yeah an excessively ethical friend who was at a terrible place paying as little as they could get away with applied for and got a drastically better job & was worried last second that their garbage former employer might try to enact a non-compete clause as both businesses “sold things.” They of course didn’t but could understand people being worried.

And now for something completely different. From the "still learning the fundamentals" desk, a team from MIT has discovered the "photomolecular effect" - whereby water molecules are knocked free by the physical interaction with photons, resulting in evaporation even in the absence of heat energy. How light can vaporize water without the need for heat quote:In a series of painstakingly precise experiments, a team of researchers at MIT has demonstrated that heat isn’t alone in causing water to evaporate. Light, striking the water’s surface where air and water meet, can break water molecules away and float them into the air, causing evaporation in the absence of any source of heat.

stealie72 posted:As much as I wish this was "Secret Service reads the writing on the wall and prepares to have an agent outside Trump's cell in the protective custody unit" I think this is just "Secret Service is doing its job and makes sure it has a plan for any likely scenario, one of which is trump going to jail because he's currently in court." Yea. Although its probably way easier from an executive protection standpoint to toss trump in isolation with a secret service dude sitting outside the door than whatever he does now. I doubt theyd let someone with executive protection needs in genpop. Which would be a great epilogue in my opinion to dudes story.

Last week, Columbia University cracked down hard on peaceful protest, putting a firm and conclusive end to students demonstrating in support of Palestine. ...or not. Mother Jones has a running list of the proliferation of campus protests across the country this week, as well as some of the ludicrously heavy-handed responses from administrators and politicians. Republicans, in particular, are demanding the National Guard put down the protests, in a transparent strategy to divide a Democratic Party already split on Israel's war crimes in Gaza. Weirdly, some ostensibly liberal Democratic Party representatives are striking the same tone instead of pushing back on what looks like a preview of the kind of anti-academic crackdowns many were expecting of a second Trump administration.

It's more that there are two groups - students in tent cities and clear anti-semite outsider rando groups that are showing up. Administrators are overreacting to #1 by pretending they're all #2. Social media idiots are joining them for clout. Hyperprogs are underreacting to #2 by pretending the protests are nothing but #1. Social media idiots are joining them for clout. Police don't give a poo poo either way, because they get to use their toys and be all fashy on people that don't shoot back: https://twitter.com/J_Dot_J/status/1783214687863152670?t=NiPCWeZnASOcZ2CYaHml5Q&s=19 Zamujasa posted:Are we going to get another picture of donut cop casually pepper spraying people point blank?

Well, the head of the Anti-Defamation League has gone off the deep end calling Jewish Voices for Peace an anti-Semitic organization and anti-zionist Jews not real Jews while also calling Elon the modern day Henry Ford, but somehow thinking that was a compliment.

Cugel the Clever posted:I've not seen good evidence that the "both-sides" framing has any validity. The campus protests are multi-faith affairs, with Jewish students defending Palestinian human rights expressing their outrage at being erased in media coverage. At multiple campuses, the protest camps celebrated Passover together. The handful of allegations of anti-Semitism around Columbia have been literally around Columbia—outside actors—and those isolated incidents shouldn't reflect on the student movements. Especially not to justify sending in the National Guard to violently suppress peaceful protest. Real people in my life who are culturally but not very religiously Jewish, who have never really cared that much about Israel are surprising me with WE STAND WITH ISRAEL bullshit. The local Right-Wing/GOP Jewish community is ALL about it, and I'm surprised how much it's leaked beyond that.
