even MAGA does not agree on everything

MAGA is a party/movement of exclusion, based on if one is MAGA enough and an ever narrowing definition of that. Anyone who doesn't agree with the current definition too hard and/or for too long won't be MAGA anymore. Trump easily discards even very loyal people if they don't conform; he may take you back if you have something he wants/needs, but he won't ever forget your transgression -- for as long as he can actually remember things anyway. Current toadies will be happy to remind him, though perhaps not entirely accurately. His brain operates on a LIFO model.

We are about to hand out 600 million to coal companies. Those donations to Trump were money extremely well spent.

Yup, 'cause those renewables, generating 54%, are a scam; that's Trump told the U.N. anyway.

(Guess he would know. More seriously, if he actually believed that, he'd be all -in on them. /s)

If anyone actually tuning in? Last time I tried to talk to someone about broadcast TV they told me they don't like pirating. Also, ATSC 3.0 looks like complete advertising garbage.

I'm pretty sure the local OTA broadcasters are also on the local cable too. I'm sure companies like Nexstar and Sinclair own other media outlets, like radio and perhaps print...

It is about controlling what you see and hear. They want only MAGA everything and to stifle everything else.

I remember reading that continued Nexstar w/Tenga and Sinclair w/whoever mergers would give them each presence in something like 80% of U.S. broadcast markets. Do we really want 2 companies controlling that much?

The CHIPS Act was a slush fund for Intel ... Forcing Intel into a multinational fab coalition comprised of Samsung, GF, TI, IBM, Micron, ST Micro, Rapidus, and possibly others would have been a much better idea, ...

According to this several of those companies and a *bunch* of others announced projects, including new chip/wafer fabs in the U.S., in anticipation of and after the Act passed. Not really sure why you think this was/is just a windfall for Intel.

Submission + - Scientists develop 'glue gun' that 3D prints bone grafts directly onto fractures (livescience.com)

fahrbot-bot writes: Live Science is reporting that researchers have modified a standard glue gun to 3D print a bone-like material directly onto fractures, paving the way for its use in operating rooms.

The device, which has so far been tested in rabbits, would be particularly useful for fixing irregularly shaped fractures during surgery, the researchers say.

Typically, large fractures or other defects in bones require bone grafting and the use of a metal fastener, such as a pin or plate, to support the broken bone as it heals. But because the shape of these implants is not specific to a given patient's fracture, this can result in poor alignment and compromised stability of the bone.

Previous studies have shown that 3D printing bespoke bone grafts for individual patients can be done, but these required considerable time and effort to make, preventing them from being used on the fly during surgery.

Now, in a study published Friday (Sept. 5) in the journal Device, Lee and colleagues detailed their new method of 3D printing a bone substitute directly onto a fracture using a glue gun. In the research, they successfully tested the technology on rabbits with leg fractures.
