I despise this clickbait post title that doesn't name the company, even though the article's title names it directly.

Thank you to folks who did name it (Jolly Rancher) and had excerpts. Here's more:

The FSA says they contain chemical compounds - mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) - that are "not compliant with UK laws".

"MOAH is a genotoxic carcinogen, therefore no exposure is without risk to human health."

MOAH and MOSH are used in confectionery to prevent stickiness and create a glossy appearance.

According to the agency, The Hershey Company has been working with the UK government body to remove the affected Jolly Rancher products from the UK market since 2024, but some businesses in Britain have continued to import the products.

The article title "Some Jolly Rancher sweets unsafe to eat, FSA says " is ambiguous whether it is a contaminant affecting some batches of candies, or if it is a recipe issue. Sounds to me like it is a known concerning ingredient they intend to keep including.

Usually, it's a chain of errors/failures that leads to accidents, after the many years of dissecting and trying to prevent air disasters.

2002 Uberlingen collision is one such case where the reliance on a sole air traffic controller was part of that chain. And that was with one controller instead of the desired two. 50% headcount. Here it's 1 or 2 instead of 14-15? That's 7-14% headcount.

We know overworking people and understaffing introduce substantial risk to managing, assisting, and responding to flights. Even supposing this poor soul could adequately manage the workload by themselves, the introduction of a single problem could throw all of it off.

I realize it's just another framework. But I think the next time I'm building something useful beyond a basic CLI I will try textualize. https://github.com/Textualize/textual?tab=readme-ov-file

I don't care much about aesthetic and a similar interface for terminal/web seems like it would be useful.

That said, I fully agree that it's daunting to have to deal with any existing ui. It's really tiresome to jump through multiple hoops just to get/show info - even before trying to make it pretty.

Semi-related, but several years ago I had a good experience getting my audiobooks from audible with https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation

Proof-of-storage based cryptocurrency. The article says when it became non-profitable, the drives were reset so their smart stats would appear new, and sold them as such.

FWIW, site says you can check the FARM values with smartctl -l farm /dev/sda if you do have a Seagate drive.

WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It's so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.

Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it's a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.

Installed python3 before it was made the native python on the dist. Half broke everything, including apt & python. So I uninstalled it, and then everything was broken. Finally got python3 reinstalled, and lived with it kindof working & awful distribution updates.

I have finally freed myself of that prison last month, by nuking everything and starting fresh.

I feel like using a@[IPv6:2001:db8::1] is asking for trouble everywhere online.

But its tempting to try out, not many people would expect this.

This doesn't make sense to me. If you go through history class, you don't have verifiable proof of nearly anything, you have a textbook. I'm not questioning the existence of the first president of the US, the civil war, ww1, etc. No first party sources ever came to verify them to me. Maybe I question if something played out exactly the same, but I trust big events happened.

So why specifically is the holocaust a myth? Or does 20% of the population just think all history is made up, and the holocaust denial is a symptom?

FWIW, in the US, seems like you're 'guaranteed' that you'll keep 30 hours worth of minimum wage per week. the minimum wage is abysmal, so ~870 a month, which isn't really enough to survive on in many places. I suspect it would be terribly difficult to pay rent, gas/electric, buy food, pay for public transport and/or gas.

I think this person was dumb. I think they fucked up badly. I think garnishment could make sense if the terms were more reasonable. But I think the current terms could absolutely be detrimental to ones survival.

Title III also protects individuals by limiting the amount of earnings that may be garnished in any workweek or pay period to the lesser of 25 percent of disposable earnings or the amount by which disposable earnings are greater than 30 times the Federal minimum hourly wage prescribed by Section 6(a) (1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. This limit applies regardless of how many garnishment orders an employer receives. The Federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Source

Many states ban vote solicitation and signs within 50-200 ft of polling locations. I'm sure it's only for state+ level votes, but it seems to me like having signs saying to vote NO directly on and adjacent to the voting machine for a legally protected union vote should be not legal...
