why are people posting about the chicken recall. 36k lbs is not a large quantity. this is a totally normal recall, like a conveyer belt part disintegrated and they found bits in one bag and had to recall the entire batch to be safe. this happens like monthly. this isn't news
like yeah RT it for awareness but i have seen people freaking out like it's something novel and i'm like... how are you... an adult... and have never seen a food recall...? they happen all the time
whether machines or people are handling food, you're going to have contamination eventually, whether it's a hair or a dropped pencil or a broken ball bearing. recalling 36k lbs means they scrapped an entire batch to be safe. again, this is extremely common
i'm not saying it isn't something to be concerned about, maybe they should have caught it before it left etc. but it's just not news
i guess i'm the guy who also thinks it's kinda pointless to post about how shitty the conservatives are when they can't breathe without committing an atrocity at this point and the "breaking news" is just about more public bribery like they do all week long
save your breath for actual news idk

i have this principle that i use in re all silicon valley stuff which is "nothing changed since yesterday"; in other words, things you'd react to with visceral outrage or bafflement seem normal when a tech company says they are
for centuries and until five years ago, getting into a total strangers vehicle (carriage/car) was something nobody would consider normal. you don't know them and they don't know you. a vehicle is an extremely intimate, confined space with no easy exit
uber made this normal. why? you're still getting into a strangers car. they are not cab drivers who had to work hard to get and keep their job. you can become an uber driver in like half an hour. you don't know these people and there's *literally* no reason to trust them.

Tales Of Emulator Horror Chapter 58:
last night i was streaming my attempts to play some apple iigs games and it was just *not working*, I kept trying and trying and getting bizarre behavior. I'd take one disk out, put in another, and it would act like it was the same disk!
i'd swap disks and the OS would never acknowledge it, but I thought this machine had disk insert notification. i could eject a disk, then put another image in, and it would show the data from the first disk!

i think a lot about how injection molding is so absolutely crucial to the design of simple things
among old-electronics enthusiasts, it's common to see something unusual and not buy / take it because the power connector is some weird funky *shape*. not voltage, shape. because it turns out that suspending pins in a particular shape is incredibly hard
if you have a device that takes power like this, you're fucked unless you can find these specific connectors, because you simply can't make them at home.

"part of the issue was the investors who backed online media startups thought they were investing in fast-growing tech businesses, rather than something resembling a traditional news outlet." theguardian.com/media/2019/jan…
A lot of people are saying Media Is Doomed In This Epoch when a large-to-majority part of the problem is specific business decisions made by owners and investors and by ruthless platforms seeking total dominance.
It's one thing to run a publication so that it can pay its bills and workers and sustain its existence; it is a Very Different Thing to run a publication in order to make profits for investors.

One of the surprising things about these times of transition is how deeply in delusion folks stay for so long.
I remember 2007 and ‘08 vividly. Very smart people were convinced Housing wasn’t a big deal. I remember people would just roll their eyes and ignore it. TBQH I started paranoidbull.com back then because nobody would listen to the warnings.
At the time I found it to be so strange: by then, Housing had turned and it was clear there were $Trillions exposed. People couldn’t connect the dots I guess. Or maybe they were just comfortable with the delusion and excess of an Upcycle. Hard to know.

#Köthen: Der Verstorbene hat einen Schlag ins Gesicht (an der Lippe feststellbar) bekommen, ging danach zu Boden und verstarb an einem #Herzinfarkt. Rechtsmedizin hat keinen Hinweis auf Tritte, sonstige Schläge, Messerstiche.

PK zur Tathergang auf @ntvde jetzt.
Im Netz verbreitete Audio-Datei mit angeblichem "Totschlagen" von der Zeugin selbst gegenüber Polizei weitgehend relativiert.

Nicht, dass das für die Hetzer, Neonazis oder #AfD eine Rolle spielen würde.

#Köthen
Schwere Herzkrankheit des Verstorbenen seit Geburt, mehrere Herzoperationen danach, versagensbereites Herz durch das es jederzeit zu einem Herzinfarkt kommen konnte.

Ob jemand strafrechtlich verantwortlich ist für den Herzinfarkt, ist im Ermittlungsverfahren.

I was about to call it a night, but okay since you're here bear with me.

First, let me start out by saying that I respect you as a veteran and thank you for your service to the safety of our country.
As the son and grandson of two vets, I can't say enough about the sacrifice that you guys make. So thank you. That said, I bet there's stuff that we agree on and perhaps more that we don't. But that's life amongst humans.
But what I take most exception to is the way that you've attacked pros, calling for companies to fire some, going after them in ways that go beyond the personal. I know you think it's just a light roasting and why do they take it so seriously and sperg out?

totally normal and good characters with which to sell edible food to human beings.
so i’ve fallen down a rabbit hole into the world–the mcdonaldland if you will–of mascot lore. strap into your play-place rockets kids, we’re deep diving into corporate-mandated clown town.
the world of mcdonalds mascotry began in the 60s with ronald, everyone’s favourite clown and company ‘chief happiness officer’. unlike the other fantastical denizens of mcdonaldland, ronald is supposedly still a human man dressed as a clown; perhaps this is his curse.
