You ... do know that Karo corn syrup is not high-fructose corn syrup, right?

Oh no! By dismissing one example, you've devastated my ... oh wait, no you haven't.

What about the artificial vanilla flavor? Is Grandma the queen of processed-ness?

Is there some percentage of kitchens that something has to be found in, to be free of the "processed-ness" taint? Do they all have to be home kitchens? I mean, since we're being so scientific about all this ...

Oh, well, both are important :)

I have often wondered if it is reasonable to just find the antenna(s) and put a keyswitch across it/them, so you have absolute control over when/if they can be accessed remotely at all.

The takeaway is - "Ultra-processed foods have one or more ingredient that wouldn’t be found in a kitchen, like chemical-based preservatives, emulsifiers like hydrogenated oils, sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, and artificial colors and flavors. UPFs undergo processing techniques like pre-frying, molding, extrusion, fractioning, and other chemical alterations that leave the final products bearing almost no resemblance to the original ingredients."

You ... do know that kitchens around the world have things like artificial vanilla flavor (and yes, even Karo corn syrup) in them, right?

It doesn’t matter that much for Broadcom customers. Apple isn't going to sell their chips to anyone else. It's the same situation with CPUs where Apple has a core that's as good or even better than the best x86 CPU. Neither Intel nor AMD are particularly worried because they don't really compete against Apple directly and Apple won't sell those chips to anyone else of the companies who buy CPUs from AMD/Intel.

The only people who see any benefit are Apple customers, but If place this into the category of nice to have, but not the kind of thing I'd expect to notice. No one is particularly threatened by Apple's chip being better because Apple doesn't sell chips, they sell iDevices.

The BCG vaccine has also been found to be effective against bladder cancer. One of the two manufacturers bailed out of the market about a decade ago, limiting supply for both TB and bladder cancer.

They just opened a new manufacturing facility in Durham this past Spring to make much more. Not sure if it's producing yet, but it was a four-year build.

TB affects so few Americans that you can't even get BCG for TB prevention if you want it. Hopefully high-risk folks will be able to elect to get it soon.

>"I will pause judgment until they conduct the same test on domestically made buses."

Most new vehicles have all kinds of spyware and remote control crap (mine certainly does). But, presumably, domestic ones are nowhere near as much of a threat than a foreign, potentially hostile nation-state.

Comment Built In Limit? (Score 1) 53

> The software had a built-in limit of 200 bot detection features. The enlarged file contained more than 200 entries. The software crashed when it encountered the unexpected file size.

A built in limit is:

if ( rule_count > 200 )
    log_urgent('rule count exceeded')
    break
else
    rule_count++
    process_rule

This sounds like it did not have a built-in limit but rather walked off the end of an array or something when the count went over 200.

She already died and, depending on the definition where this happened, generally means brain death before freezing. So they have to cure stage 5 lung cancer AND brain death.

Then again in California, even that doesn't necessarily count as dead. That's why drinkypoo is technically still allowed to receive TANF and SNAP.

What WILL happen is, that the current administration will use it to attack their enemies,

Without a doubt. And you really like it, especially because it hasn't been used on you yet.

and you will keep your yap shut because it's "owning the libs" and fits your agenda

Except I literally just now spoke about it, nor do I care to "own the libs". Anybody who wants to err on the side of liberty has my respect. But that doesn't describe people like you, does it? That's why you call yourselves progressives, the same thing fascists, eugenicists, and prohibitionists called themselves. It's such an appropriate name for you guys.

Hypocrisy is a republican's favorite dish, and you demonstrate that with every post

First, I'm not a republican. Second, provide specific examples of me ever doing that, otherwise it didn't happen.
