The gasoline additive was not fully banned in the U.S. until 1996. //
It was probably a good idea to get rid of lead in gasoline and paint, but we probably should have done it a long time ago. Some countries did not fully remove lead from gas until 2020, and the effects on future generations have not yet begun to show themselves fully. It’s nice, however, to finally know why Gen X is the way they are.
In the high-stakes world of semiconductor manufacturing, Europe has unveiled a groundbreaking achievement that rivals the cost and complexity of an Airbus A350. This state-of-the-art machine, meticulously assembled by a team of 250 engineers over six months, stands as a testament to European innovation in microtechnology. With ambitions to capture a significant share of the Chinese market, this marvel could reshape the global semiconductor landscape.
Since its inception in 1984, ASML has been at the forefront of semiconductor lithography. The company’s latest creation leverages Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) technology, a bold move that has paid off handsomely. EUV lithography allows for the precise etching of intricate chip patterns, essential for the next generation of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. According to industry leaders at the International Semiconductor Association, ASML’s commitment to EUV has not only doubled its revenue in the past five years but also set new standards in chip manufacturing.
The new ASML system promises to revolutionize microprocessor fabrication by reducing transistor sizes to an astonishing 1 nanometer.
Have you ever turned on a transformer and heard a loud humming sound? What about having a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker? These signs can all indicate transformer inrush current.
Transformer inrush current describes a spike in current that occurs when you initially turn on your transformer. This spike can be up to 10 times higher than normal current. Why does inrush current occur? It can happen because large transformers demand a huge amount of current when energized. Until the inductive resistance and magnetic field builds, they essentially act as short circuits. //
What is a practical solution to this problem? One convenient way to limit inrush current in a transformer is by using an NTC thermistor. The photo below shows an NTC thermistor placed in the circuit board to provide optimal inrush protection (Figure 2).

Figure 2: The NTC thermistor is placed in series with the input line to limit inrush current in a transformer.
Transformer Inrush Current Calculation
Here at Ametherm, we have a calculation that we use to help our customers select the right NTC thermistor part number. We thought we would share this with you so you can do the math for yourself, if you feel so inclined.
The 7 step process below will walk you through the calculation we performed for a 40VA transformer. You can apply these calculations to your own transformer as well.
vaultwarden data should be backed up regularly, preferably via an automated process (e.g., cron job). Ideally, at least one copy should be stored remotely (e.g., cloud storage or a different computer). Avoid relying on filesystem or VM snapshots as a backup method, as these are more complex operations where more things can go wrong, and recovery in such cases can be difficult or impossible for the typical user. Adding an extra layer of encryption on your backups would generally be a good idea (especially if your backup also includes config data like your admin token), but you might choose to skip this step if you're confident that your master password (and those of your other users, if any) is strong.

The United States has redefined what qualifies as “healthy” food for the first time in 30 years, striking items like white bread from the list while welcoming nutrient-rich options such as eggs and salmon, officials said Thursday.
The move comes against the backdrop of a growing domestic crisis of preventable, diet-related chronic diseases, which experts warn demand immediate action. //
Personally, I find the timing intriguing, as President/President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for leading Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has the FDA and the American diet in his crosshairs. //

Beef and saturated fats are healthy food. They are still denying that, not for health reasons, but for ideological ones.

Despite receiving tens of billions of dollars for modernization under the Biden administration, the IRS claimed it didn’t have the resources to conduct necessary inspections. To be clear, The IRS, under the Inflation Reduction Act, received about $60 billion to rebuild its workforce and modernize its IT systems over the next decade.
"Officials cited a lack of resources as to why these on-site inspections are no longer conducted."
TIGTA’s findings are another major blow to an agency already struggling with data security. As this latest report reveals, the IRS is failing taxpayers in one of its most basic responsibilities: safeguarding private financial data.
The agency’s negligence goes beyond poor management—it mocks the very people it is meant to protect. Throwing documents into regular trash, failing to maintain secure bins, and ignoring security protocols sends a clear message: taxpayers are at risk, and the IRS doesn’t seem to care. The agency is not only putting your data in harm's way but also ripping you off with ineffective, wasteful practices.

Regardless of whether or not this is just a headfake by the Communist Chinese, China is going to dominate the future development of military equipment & technologies unless we get our shit together soon. And there are three primary reasons for that:
1) There are far more Chinese students focusing their university studies on math, science, engineering and technology than American students. With so many American students focusing their university studies on social sciences & other mostly pointless & BS majors, even American universities are training far more students from China & India in key STEM subjects than they are training Americans. American children today dream of being the next big star of Communist China's TikTok app far more often than they dream of actually building or inventing something. How can we expect to keep up with the Communist Chinese when China is training so many more of their young people than we are in these key fields?
2) The espionage program of the Communist Chinese has become vastly superior to ours. This problem is heavily related to DEI & wokeness in our intelligence services when Communist China doesn't have to worry about that at all. If the best American spy happens to be a white guy, this wouldn't be much help in Communist China because he'll stick out like a sore thumb. But if the Communist Chinese send Chinese nationals to do spy work in the US for them, Americans are forbidden from noticing that the Chinese national looks a lot like a Chinese person & might require additional vetting before being granted a top secret security clearance. The same garbage in America that required that a grandma from Kansas goes through the same TSA vetting process as a single male who appears to be of Middle Eastern descent also requires that we waste a ton of time & money that should be focused on more likely targets when it comes to Communist Chinese spying. The Communist Chinese Ministry of State Security has basically decimated our human intelligence gathering operations in China while we appear to be clueless about the great majority of Communist China's operations in the US or around the world until it is too late in the best case scenario. There is no surprise that at least one of the Chinese Gen 6 fighters bears so much resemblance to our own F-35 since Communist Chinese spying resulted in all specs for the F-35 being stolen by them. Imagine they same white guy American spy being able to steal such info from the Communist Chinese. It ain't gonna happen.
3) We continue to be our own worst enemies since we are the ones paying for Communist China's military buildup & military technology development programs. And this goes far beyond direct payments to develop their next weapons, as was the case with the Communist Chinese asset Anthony Fauci & his use of direct American taxpayer financial assistance to develop the Communist Chinese Military's Wuhan Bioweapon that killed millions, made hundreds of millions more very sick & brought the economies of the world to their knees. Our indirect funding of the Communist Chinese massive military buildup & weapons development programs comes through our enormous international trade imbalance. A not insignificant portion of any of the trade profits going to Chinese companies also goes to fund what has been the most massive "peacetime" military buildup & development program in human history. If we don't begin a serious initiative to completely decouple our economy from the economy of the Communist Chinese Party, then we will continue to be the ones digging our own graves.
