The US was buying pork from China (article says they make up ~50% of the world’s supply). Not understanding these ‘cheap pork’ comments…

U.S. pork imports are now facing a 172 percent tariff, the U.S. Meat Export Federation said, according to Bloomberg News.

I work for a large company and do interviews. We have our own recruiting department and also use third party agencies. The candidates all talk to the recruiter both before and after the interview. Not us. The recruiter sets up the interview between both parties. So even if they sent an email we’d never know about it. Recruiters don’t forward on stuff like that back to us.

I absolutely hated the platformer aspect of Eternal. I don’t want to have to perfectly time a chain of jumps or die…repeatedly. 2016 was an absolute blast.

I’d love to see self certification go away entirely. They do the same thing with motorcycle helmets.

NHTSA does not approve helmets, or any other motor vehicle equipment, instead relying on a self-certification process. However, we conduct tests on some helmets to make sure they meet our standard.

They release reports about those checks and a guy online aggregates them and they have a 43.9% failure rate as of 2023. With helmets we can just grab something with the DOT rating and one of the other ratings that aren’t self certified.

Not only that but every house I’ve ever lived in has a pressure reducing valve right after the main shutoff. My current one drops the 150psi city pressure down to about 60psi for use in the house.
