#incinerate — Public Fediverse posts

Per #npr 😡
By Royal Decree of King Yam Tits, ten mil in birth control. waits in storage in #belgium for burning.
For months, $9.7 mil worth of birth control for the poor
is at risk. State Dept. said in July that it would spend $167,000 in taxpayer money to #incinerate the #contraceptives at the end of the month, despite the fact that they are #paid_for and #unexpired. That drew outrage from humanitarian organizations around the world, who offered to buy and distribute the products themselves.

I learned something making these #neon #mycelium for #DebCzeresko . When bombarding the tubes to clean them we typically add a curled piece of #paper as a guage and tell the bombardier when the tube is hot. The papers on these little 8mm tubes incinerated (good), but the heat from the burning paper was enough to cause the already heated glass to suck in- at which point it still lit from the hot conductive glass . #learning #handmade #itselectric #bombard #incinerate #nerd #brooklyn #nyc #glass
