Relevant John Oliver coverage on the PFAS topic: https://youtu.be/9W74aeuqsiU


Cup Holders. (Check) Hot Wing Holder. (Check) Security and Privacy. (hmmmmmmmmmm.)


Add this to the growing list of retail (retail focused) organizations already employing this method for employee retention/acquisition:

Also, I'll admit that in my current company it is a royal PITA to submit for EDU reimbursement and I would love to have a lower barrier of entry for enrollment friction, etc..


Nicely done!

Feature request: folder or hidden compartment/sticker(s) option?

It seems as if my only artistic contribution to the world will be in the shape of poorly drawn phallic scribbles. (which I have a plan to leverage via iMessage with my wife and fantasy football group text thread) However, I would like to prevent the awkward conversation with my 6 year old if possible about the "cool drawing" daddy keeps making and texting. ;)


TAKE MY $2.00!!!

American kids don't have a chance. Example: High School in Arkansas with a Sonic drive-in across the street and nothing else around it. A SLIM chance of success for a kid born into an environment like that I'd venture to guess.

Also, I am a huge fan of Wendell Berry and this topic has so many implications that are worth exploring IMO.


They don't have food at home?

As a kid, eating at McDonald's was like a once-every-other-month treat.


McDonald’s has had the $1 menu for how many years? Even the brokest of the broke can manage to splurge on a $1 cheeseburger, $1 small fry, $1 Coke. Compared to $2.50 for a USDA subsidized school lunch which has none of the chemicals that make McDonald’s addictive.

Access to fast food, even for children, has never been easier.


What addictive chemicals are you referencing here? Sugar? Salt?

I still can’t believe they limited salt for school lunches. If you want kids to eat the meals they need to taste good, and for 99.9% of kids and teenagers the amount of salt they eat has basically no effect on their health.


I wish I could get USDA Dominos at home.

Never had it, maybe it does taste terrible.


As I understand it there are even sub-dialects for each of these bird calls/songs. The example shared with me was compared to the English language in the U.S. where you would expect to hear stark differences in the southern states vs the New England area with a greeting like: "hey ya'll".

Unfortunately/fortunately I can't get the visual out of my head of a southern speaking crow looking for trash near my house now.....


There is cultural transmission between animals too. Like here is some whale song spreading from Australia out into the Pacific.

She looks like she is delighted btw.


The worst part is that I KNOW 100% that I opted-out of this at least 6 months ago, but to my surprise it was still enabled in the Alexa App when I double checked this AM. SMH. Do I need to take a screen shot and physically print it out and mail it to Amazon HQ? Sheesh.

I live in the PNW, and avid reader of GeekWire. They wrote a piece in December of 2020 about this issue and the forced Opt In scenario with Sidewalk and Comcast for those curious: https://www.geekwire.com/2020/amazon-sidewalk-rollout-shows-...


I disabled it as well but when I went to check if it was still disabled, the option isn't there. Was it removed and will be added back and enabled by default again? Is this the from beta to live transition? How many people think they've disabled it only to have it re-enabled?


I just tried to disable it, and the option wasn't available.


Mine was there just now. The Amazon Apps are awful on IOS, I often have to wait a few for a page in the app to fully load with all the options/settings.


It's awful everywhere. The Privacy screen doesn't load at all on Android for me, it flashes up for a moment then an error displays. I have to open the Web App to view it.


Curious if there has been more adoption of these in the lab environment as well: https://youtu.be/-djt0IA4s0w
