That's part of the problem. "May contain" doesn't provide legal protection and then if you make it a standard there needs to be testing for compliance which ends up as the same original problem and you just add compliance tits to your food product.

"May contain" should provide legal protection. It may be compliance tits in some cases, but that's better than forcing the addition of a compliance ingredient.

> "May contain" doesn't provide legal protection

Yes, this causes problems.

> and then if you make it a standard there needs to be testing for compliance

Why would there need to be any additional testing? If anything I'd expect "may" foods to need less testing than an accident-prone "no" food.


I might be the odd one out but I hate the awesome bar. What I do like about Firefox is I can make the awesome bar just a boring address bar and have a separate search bar.


It's a relic of SAT verbal analogies section which was removed in 2005. The syntax "A:B::C:D" represents the statement "A is to B as C is to D".

So on the test you'd get questions such as

  python:snake ::  ___ : ___

  a) lua:satellite
  b) swift:bird
  c) java:coffee
  d) pearl:gem
and you might select A because python is an interpreted scripting language and a type of snake in the same way lua is a scripting language and a type of natural satellite but you'd be wrong because the correct answer is B because the topic was actually about comparing animals.


I was asking because I didnt understand the claim made about game engines using the given verbal analogy but thanks for sharing this


It's open source:closed source. (Though UE is source available)


That was an incredible example and I'm frankly more impressed each time I read it at how well constructed it is. You really capture how sensitive the analogy section is to cultural or domain knowledge, and why the College Board eliminated the question type.


huh? wouldnt the answer be D? python is a type of snake, pearl is a type of gem. neither A or B make any sense.


The answer is B) I believe.

A swift is a type of bird, so that would follow the same logic as the example;

ProgrammingLang:Animal

Fun! Thank you. I wonder if I can find Mac keycaps and swap those in software. Their Mac versions are all full-size.


I built a Hadley 114 over the course of 3 weekends and I highly enjoyed it. Amazon has a convenient 2 piece mirror kit you can buy. The rest of the parts (springs, screws, rods) can be acquired anywhere and the stand can be as complex or as simple as you want.


But they didn't do any actual testing? It's just some score based on ingredients and advertised SPF?


It's a compilation of the science around every ingredient. And the most in-depth one at that


The mental gymnastics I've seen kids enable is Olympic level. Need to upgrade to a bigger house, need to upgrade the car to a SUV, need keep traveling 2-3 times a year, need to sign up for some crazy sports league and coach which means domestic flights and hotels every other week.


Have seen that as well. Kids is the convenient excuse to go spending. Marketers have well understood that for multiple decades.

Meanwhile I would bet there is an inverse correlation between spending for the kids and kids happiness.


Friend had a baby.

She went out and bought a massive Cadillac Escalade.

American trucks are an arms race. You need one to protect the occupants from the other trucks on the road, unless someone legislates to stop all of you from driving them.


I feel we are engaged in the same race to the bottom in the UK, although it is not as extreme as it is in the US. One of the few constraining factors in the UK is that our car parking spaces are generally quite small and no-one wants to buy something they can't park anywhere.


I wonder how safe they look when you take into account the people running over their own kids in the driveway.


So what's preventing companies from giving games for free and requiring a subscription or one time membership fee for online play? They'd only be required to refund the full price of the game: $0.


That’s an honest business model, absent in game purchases or user generated content.


It's 2026, roughly 4.5 years after the release of the remastered version Diablo II: Resurrected.


You'd think with all that electronics it would be smart enough to use real brakes every now and then. The plug in hybrid Prius runs the gas engine every 100 miles or so.


I don't think that is a good feel, you sort of get a feel for how fast you slow down with regenerative braking and throwing real brakes into the mix randomly sometimes would make for a horrible driving experience.

Better to have a reminder, surely the car could figure that one out.


Some cars do this. Audi and Porsche (if I recall correctly) use the disc brakes for the first couple stops each drive to knock off the rust if there's any build up. I think I remember reading that Ford uses the real brakes if you're under 5mph. I'm sure other manufacturers do something similar (other than Tesla which apparently doesn't do anything to help).


Do we know rust on brakes is even a problem before assuming the electronics aren't smart enough?


Yes, it's studied. Rust and metal have different frictional properties, and the rotors produce different torques when the brakes are applied. This results in a sort of uneven shuddering when you use the brakes if they're heavily corroded.

It's not immediately deadly, but your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on the vehicle. They should be in good working order.


Totally, I'm not thinking for a second that you are wrong there. I'm not saying rust on brakes isn't bad. What I'm questioning is whether rust buildup is an actual issue happening for most EV drivers right now.

I'm genuinely curious because, for no good reason, I take pride in the fact that most trips I don't even touch the brake pedal other than to come to a complete stop and only when parking, etc where you can't regen all the way to a stop.
