TIL Mag-Lite hides spare bulbs inside some of their tail caps. (I say some because I found this in my 3-cell but not my 2-cell.)

Awww, Ok ProTechTrader… you made me smile. I’ve never received Easter eggs filled with bonus capacitors and resistors before.
An image of two plastic orange Easter eggs cracked open with electronic components spilling out. A partially visible white index card reads “Hoppy Easter! To say Happy Easter to all, we have included a mystery egg filled with bonus components for our customers…”

Found a clue: the bracket that holds the water sensor and its seal in place is rusted.

No visible rust anywhere else. 🤔

I had the original blue one. 😭
What's crazy? The affection I feel for this robot, even today, is not insignificant. #80s #GenX #vintage

If I told you there was a 20% chance or higher of going to the hospital if you ate from a certain buffet, would you eat from it? Hell no, and you wouldn’t let your kid eat from it, either.

Yet somehow people think those odds are no big deal when it comes to measles and vaccinating their kids? Smh
Here in the US, about one in five unvaccinated people will require hospitalization from measles. In 2024, that rate was even higher about 40% of people with measles were hospitalized. Measles can also lead to more severe issues, including pneumonia, encephalitis, brain damage, and pregnancy complications. Complications of measles can occur in anyone, including in healthy children and adults.

Speaking of the Federal Register, here’s the link to the Science & Technology section. Another good link to bookmark if you care anything about #IP #broadband #energy #climate #science

DOGE must be using LLM-powered calculators for their arithmetic because, not surprisingly, their numbers don’t add up.
