Re: [Phys-L] new physics lab construction
I suggest you search the archives of TAP-L, as this was the subject of a long
conversation a few years ago (IIRC, a similar experience to Peter Schoch’s was
related, also) . Even better, also, join TAP-L and request.
Warning: A large number of the list members are, evidently, anthropomorphic
global climate change deniers and Tea Party members. Do not rise to their
baiting, as the list owner will respond by denying membership.
bc, can’t resist responding to e.g. [subject: incandescent light bulbs …
regarding the “banning” of incandescent lamps]
Purchase them as special use bulbs such as severe duty service... Second, vote
Against idiot politicians instead of voting for them...
Only those that can insure that their rights cannot be taken can exercise
them...
------------------------------
A curious irony, Bush (Jr) signed the “banning” bill and Obama signed the
budget bill which sl. delayed its implementation. (If I read the below linked
page correctly.)
