Jefferson-Designed Chemistry Lab Discovered In UVA Rotunda (virginia.edu)
schwit1 writes: An ongoing two-year renovation of the University of Virginia's Rotunda has revealed a chemical lab designed by Thomas Jefferson that dates from the 19th century. Workers uncovered the early science classroom behind a wall on Monday, according to the university. The room was sealed in one of the lower-floor walls of the iconic Rotunda in the mid-1840s and protected from a fire in 1895 that destroyed much of the building's interior. The chemical hearth inside was originally built as a semi-circular niche in the Rotunda, with two fireboxes that provided heat. Brick tunnels underneath the building led fresh air to fireboxes and workstations, while ducts carried away the fumes and smoke. Students at the time worked at five workstations cut into stone countertops.
An American politician who understood and respected science - this must have been the last time in nation's history that this occurred.
Remember when it was not only permissible, but actually admirable to perform chemical experiments? To the point where even legislators would do so, as part of their well-rounded intellectual life?
No? Neither do today's legislators and law-enforcement officials, apparently.
They also found a Novell Netware server behind the wall, still up and running after all these years.

Yup....Jefferson had a Novell Network server sitting in his chem lab ;-)

Agreed. I wonder if it is possible to ever go back to having intelligent people running the government. The trend seems to have been the obverse.
You still think the problems for US is not have the right people to have the power? The biggest problem is the system.
Obviously a domestic terrorist threat.
Seastead this.
I've got no idea why people feel inspired to "correct" others based on wild guesses instead of reality in situations as trivial as my post above. Care to enlighten us "jordanjay29". At least your own motivations will be something that you will actually know about.
"Lab" sounds like a whole room. This is a hearth that was built in a corner of a room, and subsequently covered up.
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
Did they find any skeletons chained up inside the secret room? Casks of wine?...
Millions of jews financed by fraud Jew 'government' post bs to distract. 'jeffereson' was a Jew con, same as the rest of the bogus 'founders'. see 'bogus jefferson jew' post above.
My post below 'bogus jefferson jew' was ABOVE your bogus 'domestic terrorist' post' last nigh. You scums moved your bogus post above mine, then inserted more troll posts between your 'terrorist' bs post and my 'jew troll doing racist meme' post replying to your 'terrorist' bs.

The jews control what you see. See 'bogus jefferson jew post below. The troll post 'obviously a domestic terrorist' is a jew, doing the scum jew 'threat' tactic to call anyone who calls out the scum jew tribe a 'terrorist' so the jew is free to kill you, but if you want to expose or stop them, they call you a 'terrorist'. See 'bogus jeffferson jew' post below, then 'jew troll doing racist meme bs' which is reply to the jew who moved this 'domestic terrorist' bs post up and inserted other posts to confuse the thread. As I said, fck off jew.
Ever watch a cop show or similar where some criminal has a fake wall to cover a closet or room? And some observant person noticed the discrepancy. Maybe I'm being a little hard, but in ALL these years, nobody noticed that the measurements/distances didn't jive with what they could see? I guess since nobody was looking, and since it is and OLD building.
When someone equates their gut feeling and a desire to run down the opposing team in a pissing contest to an actual fact there's no point pretending that such a lie is real - especially over something so incredibly trivial as my example of people with different skill sets above. It appears that by saying something that could be considered positive about a democrat I've pierced through a very thin skin.
A couple of posts up I provided the link, a quote, and bolded some text for the slow.
Now that is even more pathetic - it takes a special sort of "define your own reality" type to have "their own facts". It's not some shit I've made up or bent out of shape for some "mass debate" game but instead just a link to something I don't "own", a historical footnote that is nowhere near contraversial just to illustrate a point that could have been made other ways.
You've wasted so much time here jumping in to defend some revisionist loser who was willing to lie to argue about an analogy. Why? What is the rules of the game? How do you score? How utterly pathetic do have have to be to play it at other people's expense like you are and make this site far shittier in the process?
Instead of playing such a stupid fucking game why not amuse yourself reading this instead:

America has had multiple strings of bad leadership combined with multiple strings of great leadership.
While we had W and reagan, and most of the presidents since nixon has had some pretty blind spots ( O did decently with domestic, but his foreign situation needs a lot of work ), we also had FDR->LBJ, which was one of America's great lines. Considering how corrupt our congress is, I think that O has done fairly decently, esp. in getting us out of the GOP great recession.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
IT WAS HIS JOB DESCRIPTION - you have failed to address that issue and are instead zipping around the tangents that do not matter.
Why?
Are you paid for the word for political propaganda - or do you call it "social media work" these days?
Sprinkling your comment with pejorative "JEW" words just makes Baldrson cream his pants.
