I like Deezer.

I have a good idea of where they could have found about $200M.

That goes for about $70 here, in a competitive, urban market. $50 for 300.

Similar to calling in sick and calling out sick.

They send a survey to their subscribers.

The next paragraph states:

We weigh the severity of each type of problem to create a predicted reliability score for each vehicle, from 1 to 100. We use that information to give reliability ratings for every major mainstream vehicle. (The reliability rating is then combined with data collected from our track testing, as well as our owner satisfaction survey results and safety data, to calculate each test vehicle’s Overall Score.)

They don’t get very granular, but they give a fairly detailed overview of the methodology here:

Edit: I used to subscribe, and as a result received their surveys occasionally. They seemed pretty well done, but people are people and probably aren’t always objective in their reporting.

The adult broke it up.

In Tennessee, one has to buy liquor from the government, but can buy a gun (including semi-auto rifles) from a random person in a parking lot. No questions asked.

I’d like to pile on because I agree with the sentiment, but in reality it probably doesn’t even make a dent in his wallet or thought process.

I can only imagine the hellish commute a NYT tech worker must endure. Let them work from wherever the fuck they want.

Not for congresspeople. Just normal citizens.

What’s terrible about their hosting?

I don’t think they’re concerned about the constitution at this point.

TL; DR,

Only if you’re concerned about removing dust, insects, little stones, bits of husk left from the rice hulling process, arsenic, and 20-40% of microplastics. The amount of those things is influenced by the region in which it’s produced. Stickiness reduction from washing is nominal due to there being two different types of starch. The kind on the surface is different than the variety inside the grain, which is what affects the stickiness.

Not part of the article:

If you’re interested in less sticky rice, try toasting it first. It’s a game changer.

I’ve never bothered rinsing, but probably will now because of microplastics and arsenic. I’ve never seen impurities like what are listed, but I only buy rice produced in California.
