The Brother whatever-it-is will print return labels for online shopping, never run out of toner, and generally be a printer instead of the physical instantiation of a business model.
Here’s the best printer in 2023: the Brother laser printer that everyone has. Stop thinking about it and just buy one. It will be fine!
Seriously, ask around or just look in the background of Zoom calls: there’s a black Brother laser printer sitting there. Some people have the bare-bones Brother HL-L2305W, which costs like $120. We have the $270 Brother MFC-L2750DW, which adds a sheet-fed scanner,
if you're going to use osb, keep the noise frequency and material mu in mind. For wood that's about 700Hz for 1". Use an app like Spectroid to determine the frequency of your rain noise. If it's 1400Hz, then a half inch will work, 2800Hz=1/4", whereas if it's 350Hz, then you'll need 2" to absorb the wavelength. You'll get hardly any Db attenuation from 1/2 wavelength thickness, and a linear-like reduction from 1/2Mu to 1Mu, where it will be mostly blocked.
The first digital logic gate built from vacuum tubes appears to have been invented by Bruno Rossi in 1930. Rossi, an Italian physicist studying cosmic rays and radioactivity, was not working on computing equipment but rather sought to detect near-simultaneous events from multiple Geiger-Müller tubes, His Rossi coincidence circuit was an n-input AND gate which identified coincident pulses from multiple detectors with a time resolution of one millisecond.
With an inverting output, this circuit would be a NAND gate 1, from which any Boolean function can be computed and flip-flops constructed as a data storage element.
Max Gergel was a Columbia, South Carolina native, 1942 graduate of the University of South Carolina, and a chemist. In 1977 he authored the memoir, Excuse Me, Sir, Would You Like to Buy a Kilo of Isopropyl Bromide? He later wrote a sequel, The Ageless Gergel. In 1998, he was featured in the Fall issue of the USC Chemist, a newsletter published by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Max Gergel, who graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of South Carolina in 1942, founded and ran the successful Columbia Organic Chemical Company. A Nobel Prize-winning biochemist once said in a speech that he was encouraged by Gergel, describing him as “an unusually nice man.”
The chemist also had a boat and enjoyed sailing, especially to a house he had in Jamaica.
He also wrote two books, including the 1977 memoir Excuse Me Sir, Would You Like to Buy a Kilo of Isopropyl Bromide? In them, he wrote about how he had helped in the development of the first atomic bomb, as well as in developing weapons for Israel.
But in that varied and interesting life, one thing was missing: a bar mitzvah.
And so, at 96, with the assistance of Rabbi Hesh Epstein, co-director of Chabad of South Carolina in Columbia, Gergel participated in the coming-of-age Jewish ceremony.
A day later, he passed away.
“He did everything he needed to do, and his journey was over, I guess,” said Epstein. “I guess that was his last mitzvah that he needed to do.”
Anecdotal, autobiographical sketch of Max Gergel and his adventures as a young (then older) mad scientist building the business Columbia Organic Chemicals.

Blue-state progs keep screaming the quiet part out loud: Your kids don’t belong to you!
Tommy Hoyt, a Democratic New Hampshire state legislator, is just the latest example.
A parent urged him to back a bill demanding that schools not withhold info about their kids from parents (i.e., no more secret social transitioning or woke brainwashing).
Hoyt’s remarkable response: “Do you know why children’s results tanked during COVID? Their parents were incompetent teachers. Do your children a favor, let the teachers teach, and shut up. You’re clearly no professional.”
Set aside the obvious self-serving lie here: Remote “learning,” demanded by teachers unions and their legislative lackeys like Hoyt, wrecked the scores, not parental concern.
Far worse is the contempt for parents, all too typical of Democrats today.
Divisive activists and media trick people into believing their sensibilities about right and wrong are something racial that must therefore be rooted out. //
For good people who refuse to judge their fellow man on the basis of his skin color, it’s confusing that these recent incidents would be painted in racial terms at all. We want a society that agrees that law-abiding, justice-loving people are the good guys and that antagonizing criminals are the bad guys. That’s not an equation that should consider race, nor one that needs to.
But a vocal minority of people who seek to weaponize unfortunate incidents like these to advance their own Marxist designs are construing these two events as the most recent face of the struggle for racial justice in America. And as they do, blue-collar workers and single moms and middle-class dads and the other millions of Americans who keep the country’s lights on — people who emphatically believe that everyone should have a chance at the American dream, no matter their skin tone — will see a fight they do not recognize. //
In reality, the fight is between decent Americans of every color and those in power who wink at rampant lawlessness and wield its messy results to pit neighbors against each other. It’s between two ideologies: one that says each individual should be responsible for his own actions, and another that says people should be treated differently based on their membership in an identity group.
Biased juries and politics, rather than an ‘objective view of the law and the facts,’ may dictate whether a defendant is convicted or acquitted. //
Special Counsel John Durham breached neither ethics nor etiquette when he highlighted the difficulty of obtaining a conviction in a politically charged case when the jury holds opposing partisan views. He merely stated the reality on the ground in D.C.-area federal courts. And by his own actions prosecuting the J6 defendants solely in the nation’s capital, Attorney General Merrick Garland has confirmed that assessment by proving the corollary: Criminal cases against individuals viewed by the local populace as political pariahs make for easy convictions.
“Did the Durham Report’s Criticism of Juries Go Too Far?” The Washington Post’s headline from last week asked rhetorically. It was quite an ironic concern coming from the legacy outlet serially guilty of publishing fake news to propagate the Russia-collusion hoax. A better question for the “democracy dies in darkness” rag would be: Did Clinton and Democrats’ Dirty Politics Go Too Far?
But no, instead of focusing on the substantive content contained in the 300-plus pages of Durham’s report detailing malfeasance by the Department of Justice and FBI and the Clinton campaign’s responsibility for the scandal, The Washington Post focused on Durham’s introductory remarks explaining the “special care” the special counsel’s office used in making criminal charging decisions — decisions Durham stressed were “based solely on the facts and evidence developed in the investigation and without fear of, or favor to, any person.”
After noting the high burden the Constitution places on the government in criminal cases, Durham explained why, in numerous instances, he did not seek criminal charges even though the conduct deserved “censure or disciplinary action.”
“In examining politically-charged and high-profile issues such as these, the Office must exercise — and has exercised — special care,” Durham explained. “First, juries can bring strongly held views to the courtroom in criminal trials involving political subject matters,” Durham continued, “and those views can, in turn, affect the likelihood of obtaining a conviction, separate and apart from the strength of the actual evidence and despite a court’s best efforts to empanel a fair and impartial jury.”
Those taking umbrage at Durham’s remarks, claiming they erode faith in our justice system, seem to have missed that the Justice Department’s manual, “The Principles of Federal Prosecution,” quoted in the special counsel report, makes the same point.
Not Raising the Debt Limit Just Means Balancing the Budget
The debt limit is a law restricting how much the federal government may borrow. The current law says $34.4 trillion. If Congress refuses to change the law, it will remain at $34.4 trillion. Borrowing more than that is illegal. So the government will have to pay its debt obligations out of current revenue.
Could the federal government do that? Sure.
Current revenue is about eight times current interest payments. (In other words, debt service is about 13 percent of revenue.) Obviously, there’s enough money coming in to pay existing debt while retaining most government services. Of course, the feds would have to trim other parts of the budget. I’m sure readers have many suggestions on that score.
These facts are no secret. Moreover, they’re buttressed by experience: We have reached earlier debt limits on many occasions, but there has been no default. Mostly what happens is a few federal facilities close. (When that happened last time, the feds closed Rocky Mountain National Park. No problem: Colorado state government took over the job.)
Still, every time we approach a new debt limit, unscrupulous politicians and their media propagandists claim we’re at risk of default. This is so patently false that we can only conclude that what concerns them isn’t default but something else.
What is that “something else?” That people might learn they really don’t need all that exorbitant federal spending. That they might decide they like the budget being balanced.
Monday’s special counsel report detailed extensive evidence of Department of Justice and FBI misconduct concerning the launch and handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and equally overwhelming proof of partisan motives and double standards. While the facts are critical of both the bureau and the DOJ, more scandalous is John Durham’s conclusion that the inexcusable targeting of a political opponent cannot be prevented absent a curing of the corrupted hearts and minds of law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Durham’s 306-page report opened with an executive summary capsulizing the results of the special counsel’s four-year investigation into the intelligence activities and investigations arising out of the 2016 presidential campaigns. While calling the findings “sobering,” and previewing the widespread misconduct on which the body of the report elaborated, Durham’s introductory comments emphasized he “does not recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies.”
It is here that Durham made his damning indictment of the DOJ and the FBI when he stressed that “the answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old.” Ultimately, he continued, justice “comes down to the integrity of the people who take an oath to follow the guidelines.” And “the promulgation of additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to be a fruitless exercise if the FBI’s guiding principles of ‘Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity’ are not engrained in the hearts and minds of those sworn to meet the FBI’ s mission of ‘Protect[ing] the American People and Uphold[ing] the Constitution of the United States.’” //
For all the misconduct the special counsel exposed, it was [Pres. Gerald Ford's Attorney General] Levi’s warning that Durham left us. And that, I fear, is the most significant revelation to come from the investigation: that after four years of inspecting the underbelly of the FBI, Durham saw a creature reminiscent of the one running wild under Nixon.
