  • Idaho fan fiction

  • True, although shady Amazon sellers will probably still sell you a fire hazard cord that isn’t to spec.

  • lol. This will piss Trump off so much.

    Edit: This story is over a year old. Come on OP.

  • Kind of surprised that this guy left Safari out of his stats. As many of us who do web dev know, Safari, primarily driven by mobile, is a fairly massive portion of browser traffic in many countries.

  • Don’t fall for the distractions, focus on the destructive and fascist things he wants to do.

  • I still carry or hide a key in case a battery dies or something glitches out.

  • This is less of a problem for me these days.

    My phone is my primary source of audio content, so it’s easy to remember. I also have a smart / keypad lock, a digital wallet, a physical wallet that magnetically connects to my phone case, and my keys / phone have UWB trackers on them.

    The world may be getting shittier, but we have top scientists and engineers working on the “I forgot my keys / wallet” problem.

  • It’s just basic, easily reproducible, chemistry. Not some sort of conspiracy.

  • Yeah, I bet that the glass works for some folks. My friends and I played with some blind tastes test, and some people couldn’t tell the difference, and other could tell 100% of the time with ease.

    My guess is that the taste difference is due to the fact that Mexican Coke has so much glucose that it easily throws a OTC glucose monitor into an overload error state.

  • TLDR; Mexican Coke is sweetened with sugarcane, but the acid in the soda splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. So you basically end up with a drink that has similar chemical sweeteners to high fructose corn syrup.

    Also, Mexican coke probably tastes better because it as a shit of glucose and fructose, not because you’re tasting sucrose.

  • I guess you could add root beer to fermenting grain, but the end result probably won’t taste like what you expect it too.

  • lol. Trump was -just- influencing debt ceiling obstruction while he was campaigning. But now that the democrats are finally talking about leveraging the GOP’s obstruction playbook, now he hates it.

    Everything they claim to hate, they do.

  • I’m a weirdo who builds compliance and auditing software for this very use case. Getting functioning hardware or software from a vendor l is one thing. You can QA whether it’s up to spec.

    Vetting compliance with operational best practices is a different can of worms. You have to check compliance with random audits and investigations, and people that want to hide shit will try to work around that random checking.

    All in all, it’s one of those things that probably seems simple when you’re looking at it from afar, but if you’re actually trying to do the job, you know it’s way more complicated than outsiders realize.

  • I’d be curious to see what the audit paper trail looks like for this. Companies like Apple now have third party due diligence programs in place. Said plainly, their legal teams purchase software solutions that track their vendors, their vendor’s vendors, and their vendor’s vendor’s vendors.

    Apple’s legal team is pretty robust, and I’d be shocked if they didn’t hand over a bunch of TPDD documentation to auditors to try to say “here’s all the records of us inspecting our vendors and their vendors.”

    Apple will likely point to the vendor, blame them for criminal or unethical practices, and then showcase their paper trail and their system of vetting controls. Companies don’t have to be perfect, but they generally have to show that they made a legitimate and good faith attempt to work with vendors that are above board.

  • No so much lucky - I’m just a kid that grew up with a diagnosed anxiety disorder. Good thing about an anxiety disorder is that you identify risks before everyone else. It’s like a shitty super power.

  • No one’s crueler to the needy like the “Christians” from America’s Bible Belt states.

  • I’ll never forget the day in elementary school where I saw a kid casually put his mouth directly on the spout. Then it dawned on me: “There are probably others like him.”
