And the distinction between those two is???? A religion is merely a cult that has gathered enough followers to go mainstream.

That's the cool part about chemistry, when used in this synthesis the dichloromethane becomes a whole new (presumably safe, but we'll see what further testing turns up) molecule. Sodium is explosive and Chlorine is highly corrosive, but combine them and you get regular old table salt. Just because a reagent is dangerous doesn't mean the products it creates will be.

Edit: I just did a little research and it looks like 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is safe for human consumption. It's already sold as a dietary supplement. It's marketed to help with metabolism of estrogens but we all know how "trustworthy" the dietary supplement market is.

The only thing that wants anything to do with Canada Gooses.... is Canada Mooses

Agreed, I can't wait to take my bra off when I get home. Like as soon as I come in the door I let the girls free.

I'm well aware of how tolerances work, I've worked in automotive manufacturing since 2016 and currently run the maintenance department at a tier 2 manufacturing facility.
Injection molding is able to have tolerances in the hundredth of millimeter range true. But metal stamping is not as precise.

Sub 10 micron. Jfc, this idiot doesn't have a clue about auto manufacturing. Even the most precise parts of auto manufacture don't require "sub 10 micron" tolerances. Engine bearing journals are about the most crucial fit in a car and they are generally on the order of 50 microns. Electric cars can use even wider margins because they mostly use ball and roller bearings instead of babbit bearings.

But... Since were talking about the body panels on the worlds dumbest truck the point is even more moot. John Delorian was stamping out stainless panels in the 80s on a shoe string budget,
but the worlds richest dipshit wants to make it out to be the automotive equivilant to brain surgery.

I'm honestly surprised that he lasted this long

As little sympathy as I normally hold for any Jan 6 rioters, it is downright cruel to house her in a male prison. From what I've been able to suss out, she has been transitioned since at least 2004 when she did her legal name change. This is a person who has fully transitioned and been living as a woman for nearly 2 decades. Even though she is a traitorous piece of crap she deserves fair punishment under the law. To me, being a woman put into a male prison population should be considered cruel and unusual.

This is really exciting news, The severe lack of viable transplant organs has been a serious hinderance to the medical profession. If the process can be perfected this has the potential to save millions of lives.

I really enjoy the comics, but I don't think it translated to show format very well. I watched the first two episodes but it just didn't make me laugh like the comics do.
