This is less of a problem for me these days.
My phone is my primary source of audio content, so it’s easy to remember. I also have a smart / keypad lock, a digital wallet, a physical wallet that magnetically connects to my phone case, and my keys / phone have UWB trackers on them.
The world may be getting shittier, but we have top scientists and engineers working on the “I forgot my keys / wallet” problem.
I guess you could add root beer to fermenting grain, but the end result probably won’t taste like what you expect it too.
I’m a weirdo who builds compliance and auditing software for this very use case. Getting functioning hardware or software from a vendor l is one thing. You can QA whether it’s up to spec.
Vetting compliance with operational best practices is a different can of worms. You have to check compliance with random audits and investigations, and people that want to hide shit will try to work around that random checking.
All in all, it’s one of those things that probably seems simple when you’re looking at it from afar, but if you’re actually trying to do the job, you know it’s way more complicated than outsiders realize.
I’d be curious to see what the audit paper trail looks like for this. Companies like Apple now have third party due diligence programs in place. Said plainly, their legal teams purchase software solutions that track their vendors, their vendor’s vendors, and their vendor’s vendor’s vendors.
Apple’s legal team is pretty robust, and I’d be shocked if they didn’t hand over a bunch of TPDD documentation to auditors to try to say “here’s all the records of us inspecting our vendors and their vendors.”
Apple will likely point to the vendor, blame them for criminal or unethical practices, and then showcase their paper trail and their system of vetting controls. Companies don’t have to be perfect, but they generally have to show that they made a legitimate and good faith attempt to work with vendors that are above board.
No so much lucky - I’m just a kid that grew up with a diagnosed anxiety disorder. Good thing about an anxiety disorder is that you identify risks before everyone else. It’s like a shitty super power.
I’ll never forget the day in elementary school where I saw a kid casually put his mouth directly on the spout. Then it dawned on me: “There are probably others like him.”
Real talk, Pelosi perpetuates the gerontocracy, and smells of insider trading, BUT, she is very effective at aligning and moving people around a shared goal.
It’s time for her to go, but I can’t totally hate her.
Same. I feel like, a few decades ago, you could make a good argument that PPO land gave you more choice in exchange for higher fees. But these days, the good private practices are completely slammed, and I honestly think it’s faster and easier to find a good doctor or specialist in Kaiser.
The crazy thing is that my spouse works for one of America’s PPO insurance companies, and she’s rather use my Kaiser plans. The care is better and the out of pocket is way less.
Kaiser Permanente is not for profit and not publicly traded. It’s not perfect, and it’s not cheap, but having dealt with America’s other insurance options, IMHO, it’s the best option in the US… if they’re in your state, and if you take the time to learn how to navigate an HMO.
Its not cheap, but it’s not nearly as expensive as the alternatives, and the don’t deny claims as much.
I’m still grumpy that everyone decided to start pooping again.

This is unrealistic. Those showers would be an open floor plan. Gen X wrote so many songs and movies about hating cubicals that were not allowed to have any walls now.
His mistake was being totally nude under the trench coat.
This would actually be a pretty dope halloween costume.
I still carry or hide a key in case a battery dies or something glitches out.
