Duct Tape and WWII

Pacific Paratrooper

During the WWII, U.S. troops in the heat of battle had a strangely impractical way of reloading their weapons.

Cartridges used for grenade launchers was one example. Boxed, sealed with wax and taped over to protect them from moisture, soldiers would need to pull on a tab to peel off the paper tape and break the seal. Sure, it worked… except when it didn’t, soldiers were left scrambling to pry the boxes open.

waterproof ammo boxes

Vesta Stoudt had been working at a factory packing and inspecting these cartridges when she got to thinking that there had to be a better way. She also happened to be a mother of two sons serving in the Navy and was particularly perturbed that their lives and countless others were left to such chance.

Concerned for the welfare of sons, she discussed with her supervisors an idea she had to fabricate a tape…

Lasagne rosse vegane

Me: Red vegan lasagne – who could not love this?
Google translation of first sentence: A traditional dish, exquisite and appreciated both as a first course to be served hot on the table but also as a “packed” course on picnics and trips on the road. Obviously revisited in a very tasty vegan variant

½ bicchiere di vino bianco

Olio evo

Sale

Pepe

URGENT: Compromised Email Marketing Software

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

If you had glossed over the headlines today, there is one that is serious and may affect you directly and personally.

Constant Contact is an email broadcast system used for email marketing by everyone from solopreneurs to large corporations.

It is also the latest company whose software has been compromised by Russian hackers — the same hackers who created the Solar Winds debacle. What is public is that these hackers got into the US AID agency and used the Constant Contact software to send malicious code to firms receiving email from that agency. The malware allows them to control computer systems and access files of recipient firms, if a user clicks on a link in the message.

If Solar Winds tells us anything, it’s that these hackers will loot any company they can. US AID is probably only one target of many.

Microsoft discovered the problem and disclosed the software…

Is Bipartisanship Dead Or Merely Asleep?

Whatever we call this current contention, we are doomed if we are unable to move forward to make things run well to secure the health of the public and planet.

Filosofa's Word

Many of us have often spoken of ‘bipartisanship’, especially as it relates to the business of the United States Congress.  It’s a no-brainer, for no one party has all the best ideas and a collaboration between both parties is likely to lead to laws that are fair to all.  In theory, at least.  Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson gives us his views on bipartisanship and how impossible it has become in the reality of today’s political climate …


Bipartisanship is overrated, especially with these Republicans

Bipartisanship is overrated. President Biden and Democrats in Congress should stop fetishizing it and get on with the work they know must be done.

Of course, it would be nice if a serious, responsible Republican Party willing to stand up for its principles, make substantive policy proposals and negotiate in good faith existed…
