Hi everyone,
I’m back on here after a hiatus. I’m an engineer who likes to cycle, tinker, work on robotics, machining, make things, and solve problems. I also like to talk about cutting edge science.

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election
BREAKING: Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California has died at 65, GOP officials say. His death reduces the party's control of the House to 218-213.

Increasing infectious disease prevalence won't improve trust.
Countries like Denmark may not universally recommend some vaxes, generally for cost efficacy (not safety) concerns. Lower poverty, fewer population comorbidities, & universal healthcare affect that equation. Things we don't have.

Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated.
It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans.
And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question.
