Other than leaving a record for future generations, what are the possible products of this investigation? Impeach Hegseth or whoever gave the order?

I don’t want to be a downer, but this administration has no shame. No one is going to resign unless Donnie thinks they make him look bad weak. It’s practically a given that this administration’s DOJ isn’t going to prosecute anyone for contempt of congress, or perjury, or war crimes in service of the executive branch (assuming that whoever doesn’t get straight up pardoned first). They’ll cry “witch hunt” for the nth time, the maga crowd will eat it up, and no one’s mind will change until such time comes when this administration is only a memory.

Fuck me this feels bleak. Maybe I need to see a therapist.

It’s not the fungi we asked for, but it’s the fungi we deserve.

Well there goes the US’s chances of being a player in the sodium ion battery race. Our gov won’t support technological advancement while some rich fuck can milk an extant cash cow.

I mean we’ll still need lithium to transportation for its energy:weight properties but still. Hopefully this turns out to be a good thing.

Any bets on whether Musk or an oil company is gonna get the first subsidies to start a mine there?

Sorry for being a downer. I’ve been in a mood this year.

Eggs will be easier to peel regardless of age if you drop them into boiling water water instead of cooking from cold. It causes the whites nearest to the shell to cook quickly and pull away from the shell.

If I recall correctly it’s because the proteins in the whites go through two phases as they cook. First they relax like spring partial uncoiling and then they either tighten back up and tangle with each other like, or they cross link with each other like a polymer (I forget which). Regardless of the exact mechanism, if you cook them fast enough, the proteins in the whites bind with each other before they have the chance to settle down and bond significantly with the shell lining.
