I've got a 2 bed, 1 bath all to myself. I switched jobs and negotiated my salary specifically based on the rent of a 2/1 in my area, which needed a 30% bump on my previous job.

Do you know what conversion therapy is?

The article is poorly written and vague, but I think much of the money is subsidizing projects rather than funding research. Basically supporting Exxon (mentioned in article) and others in installing CCS systems on their refineries and power plants.

Still titanium, but likely sourced differently and not batch tested to verify exact mechanical properties. Only time you'd tell the difference is when it fails prematurely.

And your wet, swollen pussy is very excited about it, huh?

One possible reason is that ammonia is a fairly dangerous substance with both acute and chronic exposure risks.

The title does match. US government enacted sanctions on 7 people that restricted 3 types of financial transactions. Now they have removed the most important of the 3 restrictions.

Scientists make something new. One time. In a lab. Under ideal conditions. With 3 PhDs assembling, testing, and running it.

Engineers have to make the same thing so that their cheap-ass company can hire any gaggle of idiots off any street around the world and train them to assemble, test, and run 500 of the thing.

Alternatively so those same idiots can buy the product and do all manner of stupid things to it without it breaking.

Note: not saying all technicians are idiots, but the good ones get paid more so companies eventually go for the idiots instead.
