OP here. There are clearly a number of DEI related awards in the list. But lots and lots of non-DEI related awards that show up solely based on a stupid text search. e.g.
CHEMISTS HAVE A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF THE REACTIVITY OF SMALL MOLECULES IN SOLUTION IN A HOMOGENOUS ENVIRONMENT

Ted Cruz recently released a database of "woke" DEI NSF awards. Exploring the data it is clear they just did a search with terms "homo" and "hetero" and "race". Some of their "woke" DEI awards include-
CRII: NETS: RUI: FUNDAMENTALS OF WIRELESS NETWORKING USING BATTERY-FREE DEVICES IN INHOMOGENEOUS ENVIRONMENTS
HETEROMOLECULAR INTERFACE DESIGN FOR BETTER MULTIFERROIC MOLECULAR SPINTRONICS
BUT ARE IMPORTANT PROBES FOR ASTRONOMY SINCE THEY CAN BE TRACED DIRECTLY BACK TO THEIR ORIGIN

I use (and also develop) RAMADDA's SeeSV package-
https://ramadda.org/repository/a/seesvA Java based package for data wrangling that reads in all sorts of formats, over 300+ commands for transmogrifying the data and a number of output formats. There is an interactive interface provided by RAMADDA and a stand-alone command line release.
IBonds are a no brainer. A great rate, no risk and few constraints. I've got them for myself, my wife, my kids and my LLC
Yeah, with the possible connection to the Spanish Flu epidemic this gives one pause when considering long covid and covid's neurological effects in general
I too had a problem (maybe same email with multiple accounts). You have to get the form stamped with a "medallion stamp", not just a notary. So check your bank if they have someone that can do this
Domestic use (lawns, showers, toilets, etc) is a small percent of the overall water use in the west. For example, in Colorado 89% of the water usage is for agriculture and only 7% is municipal and industrial (

I worked for a startup in the late 1990s that had a reseller agreement with Vignette. If I recall Vignette was going for something like a million dollars a site license. I took one look at it and ended up rolling our own TCL-based CMS in case the Vignette deal went south. Well I left, Vignette went south and the company ended up using my CMS.
