So “Trump” just made a “deal” with “Britain.” Trying to emulate his style, with random quotation marks. I GUESS I SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A SENTENCE IN BLOCK CAPS.

DOGE's big contribution to efficiency was apparently to make everyone waste time every week and ignore the results.

Per source, people were mostly just sending the same things every week. Many folks added read receipts and were able to see that no one at DOGE was actually reading the emails.

Researchers have proposed that it should be possible to reliably classify proteins by measuring the atomic fragments that result when a protein is blown apart by an intense pulse of x rays.
Exploding Proteins to Classify Them
An intense x-ray pulse from a free-electron laser sends a protein’s atoms flying off in directions that reveal the protein’s structure.
