I know that Jack Smith, and Fanni Willis, are too professional to be bothered by such inflammatory remarks, but it can’t be a smart move to attack the people who are writing indictments. Not all the donations in the world can make up for what he will face in prison.

They are trying to save money by adding a solvent mixture refined from recycled plastic. But since the feedstock contains a wide variety of junk (called “UVCB substances" or “Substances of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials”) the resulting additive is a very complex mixture, including many untested and/or potentially toxic chemicals.
These children cough syrups are sweetened using ethylene glycol and/or diethylene glycol, which are extremely toxic, especially to small children and cause acute kidney failure. Why? Because the non-poisonous propylene glycol usually used costs twice as much. Greed is killing our planet.
They mention high mercury levels as a trap or from wine that the emperor drank, but neither is likely (they often used to add lead to wine as a sweetener, but not mercury AFAIK). But, mercury contamination in tombs, especially in Asia, is very common from the heavy use of the deep red pigment cinnabar, also called vermillion, which is mercury sulfide.
The reason they don’t identify these chemicals is, um, …because they don’t really know what they are. They are the reaction products from recycled plastic feedstock, which contain a wide variety of source materials, and so they call them “UVCB substances" meaning “Substances of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials”. Also called “Natural Complex Substances (NCS) of biological origin.”
In other words, junk from plastic garbage that will be added to boat fuel.
Yeah, looks like Memmy was escaping the characters, but I can’t replicate now… thanks.
Yep, looks like the same problem I had (unless the link is fine for you, in which case it’s my OS)
A Lufthansa pilot traced a 15-mile-long penis shape in the sky after being asked to divert his plane
No, those are Luftballons. A Lufthansa is a kind of electric fire starter.
I did that when the API fees were first announced, and it took a couple of weeks for them to respond, but I got a full text file of my comments and posts.
Polish artist, b. 1929 - 2005, hits Wikipedia page is interesting: Zdzisław Beksiński (sorry, unable to link)
I’m always interested to know the scaled of these 19th C works, because some can be quite enormous. Turns out this is a small oil on canvas, on exhibit at the Santa Barbara Art museum, which lists the size as: 14 1/8 x 20 1/4 in. (35.9 x 51.4 cm).
If this happened across the border in Mexico it would be almost patriotic.
