Do you know if there's a way to improve the routing part? I find it often takes really obtuse paths that go out of the way and add time. It shows the more optimal roads as existing, so I'm not sure why. Maybe missing speed limits or something that make it think worse roads are more optimal?

Me neither. Is it supposed to be a call of violence like "shorten the lives of the rich to today"? Or "shorten the lives of the rich by the end of today"?

Any particular recommendations?

Amazon is helping TimmiXyZ29 sell me a new washer. TimmiXyZ29 is not a certified salesman for Whirlpool Washers. Timmi is actually refurbishing old washers and selling them as new. My washer burns the house down. I think we all agree Timi is responsible, but where do I start?

  • The manufacture says they can't be responsible because Timi/Amazon aren't selling certified Whirlpool goods.
  • Timmi says he is just selling a product, it's not his fault
  • Amazon says they're just selling a product, it's not their fault

Now add an additional level; the order is fulfilled by Amazon. Timmi, Whirlpool and other sellers now give Amazon these washers, and Amazon keeps them in a communal pool and sends it on Timmis behalf. Now we don't even know where the original washer came from.

What if amazon deletes, hides, or deprioritized disparaging reviews that showed the product was dangerous, and you now buy it?

There's so many levels of possible problems that it can be hard to consistently ascribe blame to any one party when sold through amazon.

I do expect that if a party is selling goods that end up being dangerous, and users have consistently reported the failures/problems in amazon, amazon should perhaps be responsible if they did not block the seller/product or adequately raise awareness about the concern.

Hopefully you can find something that fills that need - but if it's not possible you can always significantly reduce your usage of the visa in favor of better alternatives. Then just use the visa where you feel you must for insurance protection.

I think it has some sort of binary already in the archive. There's a "start-tor-browser.desktop" you just double click to launch the browser.

Thanks, that's encouraging!

On JPDB some of the old batches of kanji/vocab are still cropping up. I'm not sure why they weren't in the first "mass" of long overdue review cards. I forgot them but after a review or two they seem to stick well.

Yes, agreed. The US stock market in part continues to be so profitable because people from all walks continue to invest in it. If folks invest elsewhere (EU, etc) it will help build there instead.

Youre right that this is financially related, but it was more to say - I'm not advising that switching to foreign investments is financially beneficial, just morally recommended. Folks doing this may end up with lower retirement funds in the end.

I mean, their 70% cocoa clocks in at 134% the mentiomed safe limit while the 80% cocoa from mast is at 14% (both reportedly for 1 oz of chocolate) according to the previously linked data. If the main determinant was the amount of cocoa, than I would have expected 80% to be higher.

Of course a company could be lying about the cocoa %, or using some type of filler, etc. But it seems plausible that there might be other causes. For example, perhaps some cocoa plantation locations have more lead in their soil, etc.

Tony's did actually respond to CR, claiming these are not food safety standards. They did not appear to mention why their chocolate had any different levels of lead than other companies, just that leaf is absorbed from the soil.

I dont have a library that big, but I would recommend trying the Feishin desktop player if using navidrome. It's a solid player in my experience, and has a smart playlist creator UI which the navidrome webui does not include.

Yeah, so far I've enjoyed JPDB. I switched from Anki, and while there is no offline capability, I prefer it to my experience with Anki in this case. As I'm still early, that doesn't mean much - the proof will be in how effectively I learn.

It felt good that many of the 6+ month forgotten cards came back to memory without big efforts.
