That isn’t what that article says. It talks about American Rounds and other companies that use vending machine to sell restricted products. A different company Master Ammo found using AI for facial verification to be costly when they looked at it “years ago”. The article doesn’t specify how long ago that was. If it was 12 years ago, which is the age of Master Ammo, I would find that plausible.

The machine for American Rounds was pulled because of “disappointing sales”. Retail space ain’t free, and I bet it has slim margins too.

In any case, the whole endeavor may not be viable in the long run. They either have to get costs low enough to compete with brick and mortar stores and the Big Box stores, or they have to go where none exist while finding enough locations to recoup development costs. The devil’s in the details and unfortunately all the reporting on this has been quick news stories.

I’m surprised Barrett was 1 of the 3 in the dissent.

Looks like someone tried to archive an archived page. You can see https://web.archive.org/... is listed twice in the url. I just trimmed off the first one then it works: https://web.archive.org/web/20240229113710/https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/issues/2834

I’ve never made one with Sunny D, but a screwdriver is pretty tasty.

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.

Embracer treats studios like they are disposable. They killed Volition (Saint’s Row), Free Radical (TimeSpltters) plus a bunch of other studios. All of that was because their $2 billion deal with the Saudi Government fell through. Some studios managed to escape when one of the Saber Interactive original owners bought back a bunch of studios. They recently killed Pieces Interactive (Alone in the Dark).

If a studio is owned by Embracer, they are lucky if they will be around in 5 years.

They changed the headline to “Let’s Celebrate Noam Chomsky”. The New Statesman article also was pulled.

The only recent information I can find is he was recovering from a bad stroke last year, and his wife moved him to Brazil.

Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn’t work very well.

Edit: for over the counter I use Eucerin eczema relief. I also have a jar of CeraVe, but I haven’t used that in a while. I only have to use them occasionally.

Go see a dermatologist.

A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren’t helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.

The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn’t a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I’ve had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven’t had any problems for at least a year.

If you can, go see a dermatologist.

It’s in the dictionary. There’s even a wikipedia page on it.

At that time Lemmy didn’t support instance blocking at the user level. After the devs released that update it still took time for world to upgrade. Updates were coming out every couple of weeks and world likes to wait for about 6 weeks of stability on a release.

Lemmy World announced the block about 10 months ago: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330

The larger instances usually setup a community just for announcements. For world it’s !lemmyworld@lemmy.world

They did encourage people to burn pride flags. Just sayin’ it is a “pride” flag.

That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.

You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.

Do you remember lycos or ask jeeves?

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.
