The medical profession has been doing this for years. Physicians, surgeons, nurses and physical therapists have been making their own tools and gear to help their patients since at least the early '80s. I worked with an orthopedic surgeon, her nurse and a physical therapist back then who were creating stuff in a workshop, with lathes, hammers, molds, cork, leather, plaster, plastic and steel. They made orthotics, braces, instruments, even silastic implants. Stuff patients could take home and use to make their lives easier.
Rehabilitation medicine has been a "maker space" before makers were cool. Or thought they were cool.
I'd always heard you were NOT supposed to make your tea with boiling water...just under boiling was the correct way to do it...?
I have been told by someone who knows about tea that the best way to do it is have the teapot on the other side of the kitchen from the kettle. Once the water boils, in the time it takes to carry the kettle to the teapot, the temperature is just right.
Idaho is the home of nuclear energy in the US. What better place to put the "clean, safe and too cheap to meter" waste materials than the location of the first nuclear energy plant? They still celebrate "Atomic Days" every July 17 in Arco, Idaho. And, I believe Idaho still has more nuclear power plants per capita than any state in the US.
So the question is not "why would the Department of Energy" want to store nuclear wastes in Idaho, it's really, "Why would the Department of Energy want to store nuclear waste anywhere else?"
I have, quite probably, said almost nothing on-topic - ever.
Topics are for wussies. Guys like us refuse to be bound by the conventions of artificial social constraints like, "making sense". We've earned the right to be off-topic, dammit.
Plus, my short-term memory is shot, so I never remember what I was replying to, anyway. It's why my wife doesn't like taking me to dinner parties with her colleagues.

Seriously, I haven't found a reviewer yet that I agree with consistently.
You don't have to agree with a reviewer consistently. You only need to understand their frame of reference and trust their ability to think. This is why you get a handful of reviewers, and then decide for yourself. There was a guy who I read, Dave Kehr, and I know where I agree with him and where I don't. I know his preferences and his blind spots. But I know for sure that he's a film scholar and thinks carefully about what he says.
Crowd-sourcing opinion is a bad idea, unless you really want to like what other people like. If you have that kind of need for validation, then go ahead.
Better to find a handful of thoughtful reviewers whose opinions you trust.
Agreed, and sadly decline can be rapid as well. While the situation I had probably isn't the same as yours or the question in general. Nothing really works except human supervision
In my experience, family supervision is best. It benefits everyone, even if it might not seem so to the family at first. Being with loved ones, even if they're not the same as they used to be, is a blessing. Taking care of the elderly is a feature of families, not a bug. And don't think your kids don't see how you treat the elderly, and they come to accept what you do as appropriate. If you warehouse the old and frail, you can expect the same treatment when you get old. Never ever be ashamed of someone who is old and failing.
Of course you can reach a point where you need help, but keep them close to you as long as you can (in all ways).

I did my own study on the effects of radiation. Here are my findings:

That's not old school My media setup is a stick and a drum made from a log and human skin.
Now THAT'S old school.
Kid gets a scholarship, Slashdot commenters piss themselves in fury.
Just another Wednesday.
"Clean, safe, and too cheap to meter"
I have heard that you can do that without a WiFi-enabled tea kettle.
It might be time to get some. Shame, I mean.
I have been told by someone who knows about tea that the best way to do it is have the teapot on the other side of the kitchen from the kettle. Once the water boils, in the time it takes to carry the kettle to the teapot, the temperature is just right.
The main thing is you don't want to boil the tea.
Wait, you mean if I have this kettle in my house, I can use it to boil water at work? Sort of like Playstation NowTM except for boiling water?
Technology is moving so fast I can't keep up any more.
I'm not saying it was aliens, but...

So the question is not "why would the Department of Energy" want to store nuclear wastes in Idaho, it's really, "Why would the Department of Energy want to store nuclear waste anywhere else?"
And wants to solve it from the top down, like the way we solved Native Americans' problems.
Globalism is colonialism by another name.
The Gates Foundation was a major player in ALEC until it became widely known.
Games may donate to Democrats, but make no mistake, he is a corporatist, globalist oligarch.
I knew it. I knew had to be some Illuminati shit.
I'll bet Sprint is run by freemasons or something.
I saw a documentary about that:

And maybe if I eat enough cabbage and beans and put a funnel in my butt I can fart my way into low Earth orbit.

Now THAT'S how you start a comment. You younger Slashdot users should take note.

I think grandpa was talking about one of the early sex robots.
Do we count the Slashdot editors who are beaten to death by mobs of people for posting "self-driving car" advertisements every few hours?
Do you always go along with the majority opinion?
The NSA isn't "breaking crypto".
It was pre-broke for them.
