I think I used my toaster 7 or 8 years ago?

The way these food audit and recall processes work, it could very well be the JDS beef processing facility in Greely that mistreats it's workers for all we will ever know.
There is always such a lack of transparency in the public information surrounding these food poisoning events, so as to not harm our precious corporations. They just paint a narrative that looks real enough, round the recall number to something arbitrary, and call it good.
Yeah, it always seemed like a lazy republicapitalist move. Why ever sell out so much security to a vague third party. They have smart people, mad respect to their engineers. No question. But national security being sold to a third party seems like nation-state safety 101.
To add on to what others have already said, Israel also supplies the US with a lot of advanced technology and biotechnology. All the cellbrite scanners used to hack into phones come from them, medical equipment like sleep study equipment, drugs, and other things.
Although it seems an area that would be good to just bring in house for national defense in the event a partner nation goes rogue.
But then how can we refer to ourselves as a third-person locust that only has a purpose, job, and duty to spend our "infinite" wealth in a never-ending capitalist scheme of profit to assist our betters in buying a fifth yacht?
China's always dicking around in space, really wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a "test" gone "wrong". Doubt we'll know the truth anytime soon.
Less than half. Roughly 1/3 voted for the orange plump ball in the last election. There will be less now, as many factions are seeing through his lies finally, even evangelicals.
The evil isn't as big as it looks, it's just loud.
No, and Google closed the SMS API from future growth so RCS can't be added to third-party SMS apps.
Sure...but let's expand. Those trees then become paper towels and such. Processing would need to be done with electric stuff and not petrol based machines. There would be a cost to create said industrial equipment in pollution I'm sure.
Let's invent new ways to use the wood. It would likely be weak fibers if fast growing so they'd need to be processed and pressed. What is disposable products like paper towels get composted and used for (other vague processes) - any methane generation can be collected for the methane to then be burned (I know, but at least it's not fossil fuel extraction) for processes that still need burnable fuel.
Any compost that can be used for fertilizing new tree growth goes back into the cycle.
The Plants may still be beneficial to exist, but augment with the plants. Let's start reforestation? Especially on land with abundant fresh water.
As a side-note, an episode of an old TV show SeaQuest in the 1990s always stuck with me, I think it was the (mediocre) 2035 reboot where there were giant carbon scrubbing towers on the shoreline. It stuck with me way back then and I had hoped we'd never see it. But. Yay, here we are. /s
Lots of holes I'm sure, but, seems worth trying? Not an expert obv.
Hadn't considered the justification aspect. Ugh. Of course. Just like airlines all plugging algae jet fuel.
We need another flavor of the 1980s telecom antitrust. All phones should be sold 100% unlocked. All carriers should not be allowed to sell phones with custom software configurations (Verizon is the worst for this) or neutered basic band support that makes the phone difficult if not impossible to use on competing carriers. All phones should be as interchangeable as they are currently capable of. Predatory carrier financing deals should be heavily regulated. No more trapping people in multi-year financing pyramid schemes. Basic communications methods for voice, image, video, text, video call, data should be forcibly standardized on all brands.
These companies were given a long leash, and they just abused it.
Qualcomm product toolchains have been a right mess. Oddly less malicious and more, "we move too fast and branch too many platforms," historically making long-term maintenance a nightmare.
Good to see them improving that, finally.
