It's even more exciting in GMO-produced drugs like insulin where there are no generics, just 'biosimilars' because they're not made by the exact same strain of yeast/bacteria. Also then the excipients vary from brand to brand. For some reason some people have almost no effect from one insulin compared to another.

Is this like a Borat joke? Why Latvia? Latvia isn't underdeveloped or something.
It's more common that they're made by factories during what otherwise would be their downtime, like a production run wedged in at night.
Depends which store brand too. Costco stuff (Kirkland) is almost always really good. Safeway has a good store brand too (O Organics and Signature). Kroger's are like, okay (Private Selection). Walmart's (Great Value) are hit or miss. Natural Grocer's stuff is usually good, and Trader Joe's is usually great. Target's Good and Gather seems good though I haven't tried many since I rarely go there for groceries. Uh... so I guess I mean pretty much everything.
Businesses are naturally anticompetitive. It may or may not violate antitrust law. The two main categories are collusion with competitors to prevent new competition, or if they seek to gain or maintain a monopoly via shady methods (just a monopoly itself isn’t illegal though). I doubt if Apple conspired with Google here and it would be a stretch to say they have a monopoly, so it seems like a pointless case to me.
Just need to say it was “bull caca” like a polite word for BS.
His world coin project is one of the sketchiest. Paying people in poor countries to get scanned by this creepy orb thing? Odd.
His sister has also vociferously accused him of molesting her for a period of time when she was 4 and he was 13.
Okay, good. I'd like to stay isolated from Meta's users.
Incompetent verification is definitely a problem, like they applied the most simplistic concept of 'what's a valid email address'. I had a problem like this with a website that needed an address, trying to sign up for a phone at my new house. My address went like '123123 State Road 533' The name of the road was State Road 533, that is, as in Highway 533. However, the address interpreter read it as a road called State Rd and ignored the 533, and told me the address wasn't found.
It's attractive, though.
"Gashouse eggs" is the one I've heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.
Not being soaked in RoundUp is a win.
