"Lit Vision"

No. They absolutely knew what they were doing with that logo. Well, that or they underpaid the artist who clearly got the last laugh.

That's the part that's so confounding. I thought he was their guy?

This farmer’s a jackass. Coddle the milk, dipshit, if it’s making people sick because you’ve got too many cows to maintain a clean milking environment. Feh!

I came to a similar conclusion from a completely different angle. If the industry standard is for homogenization and pasteurization, then those provide a nice barrier to contaminated milk hitting shelves. With that in place, a dairy can operate with some dirt/filth in play and easily ship some unclean product. Remove that barrier, but don't change practices at the dairy, and we get the problem we have now.

Europe gets away with shipping raw product, probably because the standards at the diary are higher since there's nothing downstream to clean up any mistakes.

*x = dereference or "point to". Treats the variable x as containing a pointer value. Evaluates to a variable existing at the address in x.

&x = reference or "get address of". Evaluates to the address of x.

They're complimentary operators, so *(&x) cancels out and is equvalent to just x.

plastic engine oil pans.

I had to do a double-take. Holy crap you're not kidding. Considering that it's a feature of metal pans to deform (instead of cracking or breaking) when colliding with something, switching to a brittle material is just asinine. WTF, Ford?

I think the root of the problem is a lot of us are rocking the factory built-in stereo speakers on whatever set we have, including laptops, and basic headphones on everything else. The right answer is to run audio through some other bit of software or hardware to downmix surround to two channels, and/or apply a compressor. But none of that is stock or made at all clear as something the typical home-gamer is supposed to do. So we're left with media that is struggling to deliver an experience on hardware that just isn't built for it.

I'm watching Hell's Paradise right now. It's clearly done on a decent budget, but the animators are pretty good at knowing where they need to focus that cash. Meanwhile, the story is actually pretty good. For something like a Shonen-style power-system story, there's a lot more going on than just flashy martial arts. I'm enjoying this one, and am surprised I haven't heard of it before last month.

FWIW, its getting the TFS abridged treatment, so maybe that'll boost its popularity a little bit.

For all the off-the-wall casting^1^ in that movie, he was kind of the theatrical glue that made it stick together (IMO).

1. Freaking Ohgr and Paris Hilton are practically from different planets.

I'm waiting for the next scandal to be around fudging battery monitoring and performance, just to pump the numbers up on the window sticker at sale.

I watched this happen with my Nissan once I figured out that the factory driving profile causes range estimates that only a hypermiler could achieve. Once I put a hundred miles of real-world driving data into it, I saw 20 miles vanish from the estimated range on a new battery. So, basically that, but worse.

Yes. To be clear, all this makes them even stranger (and deeper in the closet?) than I previously knew.

Nani?
