  • Do you think that someone sits down and makes a list of all items that need to be labeled as containing X, which is then updated each time a new food or recipe hits the store shelves?

    Or is it more likely that regulators simply state that all foods for human consumption containing more than some percent by weight of X must be labeled as containing X?

    If your goal is to ensure that consumers are alerted to certain ingredients for allergy or other purposes, you care very much about a product not getting labeled properly, and you don’t really care if something obvious gets the label.

    I’m not really sure why this is so hard to grasp…














  • Probably 15 years ago while on a freeway interchange, some guy behind me on a cloverleaf whipped past after we merged onto the freeway then slowed down in the left lane to match the speed of a semi. It was clearly intentional as the road was otherwise relatively empty and he kept pace with the truck for a good 10 miles, blocking me in.

    To this day I have no idea what his problem was, and part of me feels bad for him because… what normal happy person just randomly takes time out of their day to fuck with someone to thay extent!? But I remember it clearly, so it obviously pissed me off to a degree, yet it feels really petty to still think about it, so idk.





  • I mean, 20TB drives will work in an array just as well as 8TB 😉

    Honestly with the price of refurb enterprise drives, it’s really hard not to justify not going that route and just keeping a spare drive formatted on warm standby at all times.

    A bit of a digression though, since OP isn’t looking to cram a bunch of drives into an old mini case.
