Now NSF funds all branches of science excluding defense and most medical. Those are DOD and NIH for the most part.

If this type of basic science research interests you, in the US there is a federal agency dedicated to this pursuit; the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov)
95% of its annual budget goes out the door in the form of research grants to colleges, small businesses and individuals. Most of the research has no immediate application but has lead to some very exciting discoveries. The biggest in the recent past was that orange donut picture of a black hole that was everywhere.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
59·1 year agoThe Cuecat: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat
Came at a time when there weren’t barcodes everywhere and QR codes didn’t exist yet. Companies had to publish Cuecat specific barcodes, it was much easier to just type in the URL by the time you figured out you could use it at all.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?
41·1 year agoI am asking here because it sounds like you might have first hand knowledge. I currently use LastPass for a password manager and I really like it’s integratiom with the Android phone and using it within app and on websites.
How is the integration of Proton into the phone? I don’t want to have to open a different app and copy/ paste the password.
Thank you.
They are amazing. Hope you figured out what to do with all your eggs.
Eat one of you ever get the chance. ☺
How about a big ass Pavlova?
That is definitely “Antitrust” with Tim Robbins and Ryan Phillippe.

15·2 years agoI couldn’t take the rest of the article seriously after the author described the CEO’s change of position as a “complete 360”. 😂

30·2 years agoI would argue that Balok was exactly this. Boy Clint Howard was always weird looking.

If it still requires a Facebook account, no way. I walked away from that site 8 years ago and never missed it once.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What passport to use traveling to USA with two citizenships?
443·2 years agoThe US does not recognize dual citizenship if you are a US citizen then you must use your US passport to enter the country.
This is a prime example of a good joke.
I like it straight rye mostly but always love to try and see if a good bartender can make it 50/50 too.
Because they don’t have same color skin.
Absolute favorite is the Sazerac. Any recipe you find use less sugar.
