our consumers have commonly used ‘Stone’ to refer to the Keystone brand

low hanging fruit

The memo sounds very reasonable. I’ve never been in a union, although I’ve contract worked in a couple places that had a union, and for most (tho not necessarily all) of my career (3+ decades) would not have considered joining a union.

Watch this: let’s say that you actually have a brain and realize that there is not now and never has been any proven link between “aspartame-laden Diet Coke” (or any soda pop for that matter) and cancer in humans.

billions in dividends/stock buybacks to fulfill the cult of shareholder value

I’ve always wanted to replace my Mustang’s horn with an old blaring 80's Cadillac

NorCal native here ... I concur.

The proportions of the driver model in the lede image are disturbing to me. If the seat/steering wheel are presumed to be of a nominally standard size as found in most cars, the driver depicted is utterly tiny. We’re talking a woman apparently the size of an average 12 year-old.

Silicone trivets. Problem solved.

Umm ... it’s not “civil asset forfeiture” when it’s the result of a criminal conviction.

For these kinds of jobs, the benefits don’t always outweigh the wages or risks of the work—and that’s not always immediately clear to workers.

That’s a whole lotta verbiage just to point out the basic reality: kombucha is just another stupid fad food that does nothing except confirm the drinker is a hipster moron.

For an excellent -fictional- foray into the world and mind of Sir Isaac Newton, read The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson ... 3 books, each about a thousand pages. All sorts of actual historical characters fictionalized but with drips and drops of historical facts tossed in every here and there. Great fun read,…

must radiate matter from their surfaces, also known as their event horizons

I’m still a bit confused as to just how this works. Perhaps it records all along, overwriting the oldest stuff when it runs out of space, and if there is an incident, it preserves the prior as well as the next 10 minutes’ worth?
