No, actually not at all alike.
The user's statement was referring their opinion of another entity, and included accurate description of the key things Google does.
Note the phrasing: "so I don't think they..."

Your useless and pointless attempt to inject politics into this references a hypothetical focused on RFK Jr, trying to draw a direct parallel, when there is nothing there.
  You posted:
"It's like RFK, Jr saying you shouldn't take medical advice from him.....", yet the only individual and male subject that RFK could be speaking of in the post is himself.

That's where you failed.
Your attempt to make him look incompetent also fails from your own wording:
Your words, "he is supposed to be the top medical professional in the country." coupled with RFK having said that people shouldn't take medical advice from him is a pathetic attempt to infer that he's admitting he's not competent for his current appointed role.

He isn't a medical professional. Oddly enough, this admission of self-limitation is very much showing competency. He doesn't give medical advice. His role is administration.
Regardless of what your opinion of the man and/or his decisions, to act like his job requires him to be a physician is a bad look.

You tried to look clever with a cutting and on-point observation, and every bit of it failed miserably. So badly that even the other far left posters here would find your post akin to showing up to a high-class orgy, as confident as David Lee Roth, but drunk and on pain pills, proudly whipping out what looks like a thoroughly flaccid chihuahua dick, except the dog just got out of Lake Erie. In January.

Why not keep political shitposts in a political story comment thread? Since my expectation is nothing changingas far as that goes, how about maybe actually thinking something through a little, when you're trying to score imaginary points in an imaginary political game that far too many already "play", that does nothing but negative things in the real world. I've played that game. No matter which "team" wins, the only prize is anger, division, and/or violence.

tl;dr: You are presently an idiot. Observations and fixes were offered. :-)

A minor correction:

Trump commuted Esformes’ prison term but did not pardon him. The commutation allowed Esformes to be released early, but the rest of his sentence—including three years of supervised release and $44 million in restitution—remained in effect.

A pardon wipes out a crime and the person’s criminal record. Commutation shortens the prison sentence. Several former attorneys general supported Esformes’ commutation due to prosecutorial misconduct during his trial, including breaches of attorney-client privilege.

More importantly, saying that Republicans do not care about fraud is very far from the truth, to the point of making an unbiased reader write you off as just another politically obsessed whack job, and disregard anything you say as biased or baseless drivel.

I bet you can do better. Like not coming off as rsilvershovel

Holy shit. So parroting a shit online "news" outlet that is clearly completely devoted to hyperbolic and inflammatory editorial content disguised as useful news is the new low achieved by this site's "editors". Poorly disguised trash. Very poorly.

I don't even care about the Real ID topic anymore. The whole rage bait summary worked on me. I'm pissed off that a headline that seemed interesting instead of rage bait actually baited me into finding out that Slashdot is so far gone that now they are using shithole social media site tactics and actively seeking anything to get tribal bullshit going.

I used to get a fair amount of good info here. Now it's just another politically divisive site with not much to offer aside from two big rings of tribal circle jerking.

As an aside-
Thank you for imparting that bit of knowledge. I have always been very suspicious when I see the words, "natural flavors". Well, at least since that MSG was (is still?) allowed to be shown as that or "spices" in an ingredients list, and that Campbell's soup used this quite a bit. I grew up on Campbell's soups and, like many kids/young adults, was drawn to the enhanced flavor brought forth in the "salty" side of the taste spectrum.

Once I noted the association between some Chinese (Americanized versions anyway) and headaches, I found out about how MSG was widely used there, and headaches were a pretty common complaint with its use. Digging into it, I found out how the FDA was pretty loose in classification requirements of it.

Since I absolutely do not trust artificial sweeteners, I did verify that Stevia-based products were and are allowed to fly fast and loose with their advertising message that the products come from natural sources, "as natural as a banana". Chemically altered and processed to the point of unrecognizable, but the FDA is ok with them walking the line on a technicality.

I did initially suspect something could be misleading about "natural xxxxx flavoring", but since many products show "natural and artificial flavors" or clearly state artificial flavoring only, I simply figured "natural" with an actual fruit/vegetable/etc after it might be safe.

So I ask your opinion, while preferring statement of fact: Would there be a wording that could be considered free from this BS? Perhaps if the ingredients listed do not include any wording about "flavors", and actually lists the REAL item? I'm thinking strawberries. cherries, etc, and/or their juices, with no modifying language to exploit by the producer....

Off-topic, random information:
I have had good experience with Morton Lite Salt. While they do clearly state that it has 50% less sodium than regular table, salt, and that it is iodized, they missed a good selling point. They replace much of the sodium with potassium, in the form of potassium chloride. 1/4 teaspoon provides 350mg of potassium, which is 8% of the recommended daily value. So you are basically supplementing a key mineral that many people are deficient in to varying levels, while reducing your sodium intake. That salty flavoring isn't just lowering your sodium levels while still enjoying salt flavoring, it is providing 8% of daily intake of potassium for every 1/4 Tsp. Contrast that with the 2% per tablet you'll find in supplements. Value-wise, the salt is ~$3.50 per container of 222 servings at 8% per. A quick price search shows ~$9.00 for 200 tablets at 2% per. To get the equivalent level of potassium contained in the salt container, we need a minimum of (salt - 200x8=1600; tablets - 200x2=400) of 4 bottles of tablets to equate to the %DV in the salt container. This means that cost-wise it's minimum of $36 versus maximum of $4. It looks to me like, with exception to conflicting medicines or medical issues, Morton lite salt provides an affordable and useful level of 2 key minerals humans need, in a tasty and well-balanced form.

I will add this: Having worked in DoD and especially the rail industry, mission/scope creep is so common that the rail industry informally and internally adds 20-30% in time and cost to every aspect of every project's contract(s) as the actual limit before even considering any formal legal or contractual actions.

This is just my personal experience, and to a larger degree, what was passed on to me by project/program managers and directors. These large public projects like bridges and such seem to go worse. When it comes to larger projects, we have a bit of work to do in order to see another Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, or any nuclear facility that is on time, on budget, and most importantly, SAFE.

I don't generally agree with a fair bit of your political leanings that I have seen. With that said, I completely agree that since about as far back as I was paying attention (post-Reagan), there's been ridiculous levels of hyperbole months before, then after elections. I will recount that I had zero faith in Obama, but his post-election speech, and others were just amazing. His actual work done? Kinda disappointing. Through all of this, I never bad- mouthed him. I respect the office, and I do believe in having hope during an elected official's term, that I will be happily wrong, or that the good things I heard about come to pass.

I vote. I'm not on a voting "team". I am just a guy that wants a good outcome for as many as possible in this country. I may discuss what I -believe- I see happening or what may happen over time, but I am more into diagnosing and fixing things. I will leave the screaming, shouting, violence etc, over politics to those that don't mind wasting their energy on directed anger about things they pretty much never get the full story/information on.

Keep putting your logical thoughts out there.

You were most likely informed. Typically the card agreement spells out the base rate, and specifies that the rate is prime plus X%.

Because there's absolutely nothing bad in this post, and it serves as a humorous reminder that hyperbole, stereotyping, villifying and attacking a someone, whether online or in person, is even less likely to be successful than punching your way through a 3/4" steel plate with your bare fist.

Why badmouth and insult, when you could at least try to debate?

I need more caffeine, so I am not going to preview this. My apologies in advance if thI ramble, use poor grammar, etc.

I'm very glad to hear this, and I hope that Audi and other brands within the group also do this. I would naturally love for all auto makers to go back to a similar setup to my 2012 Audi Q5:
HVAC
Auto mode available, but buttons for defrost, A/C, recirculate. Separate buttons around knobs to choose what mode/option you are adjusting (temp is default-no button pushh) vent to outpunt to, fan lspeed, heated seats on/off(adjust level with knobs), with separate driver and passenger setting knobs and buttons around them. The knobs adjust vent output, temp, or other vaiables for the "mode" you selected.Push in on driver's side knob to "lock" driver and passenger settings (except heated seats) or unlock if locked. The screen has small notification pop-out that shows adjustments made to temperature. These disappear after no change for about 4 seconds. There is a separate LED readout by the HVAC controls between knobs that give easy, written display of adjustment values when adjusting driver or passenger, and otherwise uses small symbols for the vent selection, HVAC mode, and large numbers for current temp setting on each side.

I am probably giving a horrible description here, but I do know I can reach temp adjustment knob without looking away and it has positive feedback via a click for every change. Near the shifter are easy to memorize buttons for medai and radio. Of course there are buttons for car operating info, and a setup button, but I don't memorize those. There is a selector knob below the shifter for easily moving through menu options, radio stations, etc, but you have to look at screen to move through them, so not a driving thing.

For radio /media volume and track/station seletion, they have steering wheel controls, and if you're selecting a station or track, the gauges panel replaces the fuel mileage, etc info temporarily with track /station info, so you can keep vision centered.

Oh - the big thing: It's not a fscking touch-screen!

Perhaps not in your area, but in Kentucky and Indiana, I have definitely seen GFCI, and AFCI with -and - without the TR part. Usually, just straightening the prongs on the plug end of the cable is enough to the tilt the plug L ro R slightly when you initially begin to insert into receptacle.

Also, if you own your place, and it has been built and serviced at an older code level, TR isn't required.

One other, very important thing to note is that you do not have an equipment ground, I would recommend labelling the outlet per NEC requirements. In cases where no equipment ground is present, the installed GFCI without ground MUST be marked “No Equipment Ground”.

This does, like any ungrounded outlet, introduce opprtunities for stray voltages (static or??) not originating from the hot side(s) of the main power feed to ride the neutrat back to the distribution box / first point of disconnect, where it usually goes to ground via the G/N bond.

If you have expensive audio/video gear or electronics in general, especially with 3 prong plugs, there should always be a proper ground wire. If not, you run the risk of shock induced audio hum, or eventual equipment damage damage.

"Wouldn't it have the same failure mode that virtually all other flash devices have, eg firmware detects when it's getting close to the write limit and switches to read only when that happens?"

It seems logical for the "read only when full" part to be accurate. Perhaps it could actually be when full and wear levelling room is X% exhausted....
I'm not aware of whether all current SSD drives have this capability, but my Samsung 990 Pro drives can have space defined as unusable for data other than that moved from failing blocks. This allows for minimal to significant increase in write cycles, depending upon use case and amount allocated to the feature. It is pretty much just what i'd call "enhanced wear levelling".

"That said, does QLC have the "Must be powered on regularly or loses data" issue that other flash technologies have?"

As to the "Must be powered on regularly or loses data" question (with its implied statement that requirement exists), I do not have knowledge of that, but more importantly to me, I would like to know any information available on this. I ask this, as I am trying to develop a plan for long-term storage of some data, and I have been under the impression that if I only wrote to the drive once or every few months until it was say 70% full, that it would safely and accurately store data for many years.

So - you have zero first hand knowledge, and you blanket insult every police department and officer in the U.S.?

It appears that you did not make a wise decision making a bold declaration about something you aren't well-learned in.

I'd love for you to just stop talking shit about things you don't know, and having emotionally charged opinions about things that do not directly affect you.

Well, that or go cliff diving in a quarry.
A rock quarry.

He did not get anyone killed. We both know he would be in for a very long time if harm resulted.

As to the dog abuser? Fuck him. I hope he rots. Partly because those years are probably concurrent, not consecutive and/or he'll get probation or later parole.

This is among the longest, far-fetched, hyperbolic, bunch of fabrications and half-truths I have seen in a while. I don't even have a clue how you disconnect from the discourse, going off topic so often, just to go into a political diatribe. Elections have consequences, good and bad. The ones you expend all this negative energy on occur every two to four years. Instead of blind-firing baseless accusations with biased or non-existent citations most every day, maybe produce a coherent, well-reasoned argument for your position(s) some time around.... election days? At that point, a reasoned debate could at least be attempted. I don't see it going that way, because insults, name calling, and generally ugly statements are the preponderance of what I see here when it comes to politics. That's here, and just about anywhere on the internet. For at least 15 years, with steadily more of this toxic garbage getting pushing at us from all directions, and engineered to "engage" consumers with deceptive titling, sound bites, video bites, fact omission and word choice. We are at a point where otherwise sensible people can get almost 5 percent as unhinged as folks like you, after years of training to focus on what you don't like, and to see it as a key part of everything bad that happens to you and in anyone/anywhere in general. It's terrible that there are now so many people I see and have seen for years that cannot respect the office of the President, and even go so far as to denigrate and meaningfully wish terrible things upon the office holder... Focusing on ONE person, limited to 8 years max in a lifetime, who is not a ruler/dictator/emperor seems foolhardy. We have a lot of people to blame for a lot of little and big things, past and present, that have been done wrong. At federal and again state level, they are primarily in Executive and Legislative. Some amongst those groups have been in the same post for over 30 years. I am trying to say that I see and hear this type of useless ranting a lot for quite a few years. It's almost always someone with a personality issue (aggressive, know-it-all, attention-seeking, general internet troll, etc) or someone that has fallen for the trap of "picking a side/team" in all things. Brainwashed into seeing only through false dichotomy AR goggles.

Except in the U.S., and only since 1980, you mean? Current standard in U.S. is: Single Phase - 2 Hot wires, 180 degrees out of phase 1 wire= 120V +/-5% 2 wire= 240V +/-5%
