@OutlierBlue @Chainweasel the rich have forgotten they should vote for social safety nets because otherwise the poor have nothing to lose.

@raef @thefluffiest Pretty sure ChatGPT went down a list according to trade ratios:
@drkt_ @futatorius gotcha. In your example "designing away stupid" sounds like it might be... well... eugenics. Very much happy to agree that that doesn't work.
@futatorius @drkt_ basically every (successful) safety feature in anything is an example of designing away stupid (plenty of examples where it designs *in* stupid too, though). And just as important, designing away tired/distracted. Everyone makes mistakes, even when they're not idiots. It's this isn't it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy/_of/_hazard/_controls
@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross Honestly couldn't tell you. But the UK company can't spell Oregon so they can't work that closely together... https://kettlechips.co.uk/pages/about
@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross If you really want to do a deep dive, it looks like you can tell from the packaging. If it says 'Kettle Brand' it's American. If it says 'Hand cooked potato chips: Kettle' it's British. If it says 'Kettle: hand cooked potato chips' it's Dutch.
@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross NB there is also an EU Kettle Chips based in the Netherlands - they seem to be part of Kettle Foods Ltd: https://kettlechips.eu/
@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross Kettle Foods Inc and Kettle Foods Ltd are different companies. Kettle Foods Ltd is owned by Valeo Foods https://www.valeofoodsgroup.com/
@GreatAlbatross @tiramichu plenty of UK crisps (including Kettle, established in here somewhere - based in Norfolk, owned in Europe). Corkers, Pipers, Tyrrells, Two Farmers come to mind. Don't think any of them are owned internationally? I come from potato country - so many crisp factories round here!
@i_am_not_a_robot @mannycalavera owned by Valeo https://www.valeofoodsgroup.com/about-us/our-business which is Euro/Canadian, so you're fine.
Personally I prefer Corkers.
@TwinTitans @MicroWave I mean I get your point. But how long do you expect a car to last in the US? We have one car and it's a 2012 reg that we bought secondhand in 2018...
