It’s common for blogs and some news outlets to include an image with each article. It may or may not be relevant.

I had searched for a couple of the roasters and they either de-listed the products or pulled the page from their website.

Anyway the FDA recall talks about canning low acid foods, and how the manufacturer hadn’t filed the proper paperwork on their process.

True, but you’re not going to pop the top on one of those then start sipping.

Maybe in the sense that Coke and Pepsi are the same product. From reading their website it looks like they partner with different roasters to make canned cold brew.

It’s coffee that’s been brewed then canned in a soda can. Your whole bean and pre-ground coffee that comes in a bag is fine.

Not sure if they’re still available, but gummy bears made with Lycasin guarantee explosive results.

Is there something in particular you want to point out? Because I’m not seeing anything that screams monster.

Why am not surprised the case originated out of the Fifth Circuit, and they ruled against the protest organizer.

Given their history of hostilities. Hell has a better chance of freezing over than a secret agreement existing.

At that time Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were hiding along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, and from the wikipedia article:

Pakistan’s government publicly condemned these attacks. However, it also allegedly allowed the drones to operate from Shamsi Airfield in Pakistan until 21 April 2011. According to leaked diplomatic cables, Pakistan’s Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani not only tacitly agreed to the drone flights, but in 2008 requested that Americans increase them.

I doubt Iran has a secret agreement to operate drones within Pakistan.

We’re not “such a shit hole”. We’re an exquisite shit hole.

Now do courthouses and see how well that goes.

I agree, but it is also within the sentencing guidelines. From a linked article within the article:

Kelly is scheduled to sentence Chrestman for his two felony convictions on Jan. 12. Estimated sentencing guidelines for his case recommended a prison term ranging from four years and three months to five years and three months.

The 4 years 7 months he got is a bit short of the mean. IMO the judge should have agreed with the prosecutors and given him the full sentence.

Found the article where the screenshot came from, and wow it’s even more infuriating! The VideoLAN folks tried to work with them for months, and Unity seems to have cranial rectal inversion.

I completely forgot about that term. That may be more accurate. In fact, it describes what has Windows has become.

Neat, TIL of another app. Unfortunately, it looks like development has been abandoned. The last update was from 13 years ago.

I like Cory Doctorow. I think his theory of enshittification is useful, but I find his definition flawed.

• Why is it limited to platforms? Can’t enshittification apply to other things like applications?
• Are business customers really required or can that step be skipped?
• The platforms dying thing isn’t what we are seeing. For example, Amazon is absolutely enshittified. They’re not dead. More like undead, continuing to shamble on consuming everything.

I still give credit to Cory for being an acute observer and coming up with a useful theory.

You know what’s free (as in beer and speech) and not being enshittified? Notepad++

This sounds like something out of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Something you’d read just before the Earth gets blown up.

Much obliged. Thank you.
