That’s a shame. If I might ask, have you ever had a properly cooked pork chop?

I only ask because pork used to need to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe, which makes for tough, dry pork. Fortunately the parasite that required this heat was eliminated from the US, and about 15 years ago the USDA lowered the safe temp to 145. The result is so much better.

Also good parents don’t let tweens have unsupervised access to a handgun…

It was intentional, the goal was to permanently separate children from their families to deter immigrants and asylum seekers.

This is a LONG article, but extremely detailed with tons of interviews and documents to back it up like emails and memos obtained via FOIA requests: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/09/trump-administration-family-separation-policy-immigration/670604/

It’s also paywalled, but once archive.org comes back online you can find it there. I highly recommend reading the whole thing.

The main takeaway is that the family separation policy was pushed by Trump and his administration incessantly. It took a while to really start because various government officials were reluctant to do it, and kept trying to placate the White House by slow walking the whole thing.

At one point, government lawyers who process asylum claims realized that the separated children were being shipped away from the local holding facility without any documentation, effectively “losing” them in the system. The lawyers figured this was just a terrible error and began processing asylum claims by the parents faster. If they could get it done within a week or so, the children would still be held in the nearby facility and could be reunited with their parents.

The white house was furious and directed the holding facility to start “relocating” the children faster, so that they’d be lost in the system before the parents could be processed.

The cruelty is the point.

iOS shows the voicemail transcript in realtime as they’re leaving the message.

Honestly this sounds like user error. From one of the links in the article:

As the journalist and Apple Store staff tested, if you insert the wrong passcode for 1 to 5 times, there will only be red notifications saying the passcode is wrong, and you needn’t wait to give it another try.

For the 6th time you insert a wrong passcode, it will report, “iPhone is disabled, try again in 1 minute”. And the phone will be locked, and you won’t be able to insert passcode again until 1 minute later.

For the 7th time, the iPhone will show, “iPhone is disabled, try again in 5 minutes”.

For the 8th time, the iPhone will be locked for 15 minutes, and for the 9th time, it will be locked for 60 minutes to insert passcode again.

If you insert the wrong passcode for 10th time, the iPhone will be disabled and you will have to connect it to iTunes to unlock.

Apparently if you jailbreak the iPhone the delays aren’t set correctly (or at least that was the case 10 years ago)?

On top of that, the user couldn’t just wipe the phone because they didn’t want to lose a video that wasn't backed up anywhere else.

widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes.

There are many sources because it’s been widely reported. Here’s one: reuters.

Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.

I’m also PGE and it’s the same, about $0.50 per kWhr. I don’t even have AC, but I’m typically paying $150-$250 per month.
