I'd think, at least for the existing Steam Decks, it would involve some kind of internal modification as well since they don't do charging like this.

That's true, depends on if the recording was done in a two party state or not. Still need to fire his old boss though. Maybe whoever in HR decided to go after him instead of the VP.

Good step, but they need to fire Garza's old manager and offer Garza a settlement, alternately, his old job back + back pay and a nice bonus.

A 9.0 is as good as a modern day comic right off the rack, so finding something of that vintage in that condition is absolutely insane.

"More than 8,000 people from Afghanistan were also granted deportation relief under a separate program called temporary protected status, which Biden extended in 2023 but Mr. Trump chose to end earlier this year."

First - What's wrong with it that needs fixing?

Second - It's 102 to 103 years old, how is that Biden's fault?

And so it begins... home made cranberry sauce:

1 cup sugar3/4 cup water1/4 teaspoon table salt1 tablespoon orange zest2 tablespoons Grand Marnier1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries, washed

Bring the sugar, water, salt, and orange zest to a boil over high heat.

Add the cranberries and return to a boil, then drop the heat to medium.

Simmer for 5 minutes, until 2/3rds or so of the berries have popped. Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier.

Cool to room temp and refrigerate.

Glad I did a double batch because once it all cooked down it just about filled the bowl I had in mind.

Agreed, but the problem is honest attempts to avoid it. Unless you regularly look at labels, you'd be SHOCKED at all the products this crap is in.

Bread has HFCS. Ketchup. It's literally everywhere.

Try going down the frozen food aisle at your local grocery store and notice all the stuff has cheese.

Yes, consumption is up, but the reason consumption is up is that it's ubiquitous. And the reason for it isn't that people are choosing it, it's being placed in the products people choose because the government is subsidizing those industries.

It's super hard to tell people "Well, just make healthier choices" when 80% of available choices are unhealthy or 100% if we're talking affordable choices.

Oh boy, if you want an honest answer to the whys and hows of the obesity epidemic, well, the truth is "it's complicated".

You'd be surprised at how much of it stems from government policy.

In their drive to subsidize the milk and dairy industry, the feds partnered with food companies to figure out ways to stick cheese in fucking EVERYTHING. To the point where feds embedded at pizza joints co-developed the idea of stuffed crust pizza.

https://fee.org/articles/why-does-the-federal-government-have-14-billion-pounds-of-american-cheese-stockpiled/

"To help sell its surplus in the 1990s, the National Dairy Promotion Board created Dairy Management Incorporated, a semi-public marketing branch of the USDA funded through government “checkoff” fees from dairy producers. This agency gave us the “Got Milk?” campaign and a host of popular fast food menu items, including Domino’s seven-cheese pizzas and Taco Bell’s very cheesy Quesalupa. A 2017 Bloomberg Businessweek investigation called the group of chemists and nutritionists the “Illuminati of cheese.” “The checkoff [program] puts DMI’s agents inside Burger King, Domino’s, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and Wendy’s, where they’re privy to each restaurant chain’s most closely guarded trade secrets,” writes Clint Rainey."

But that's just one angle on the problem, another is the rapid increase in the use of high fructose corn syrup, not just as a sugar replacement, but as an addition to, again, fucking everything.

In the drive for "low fat" foods, producers started adding HFCS to enhance the flavor that was lacking in low fat products.

And, again, federal subsidies for the corn industry is where a lot of this is coming from:

https://www.mountsinai.org/files/ISMMS/Assets/Media/Profiles/MS_OpEd%20Ad_Obesity_final.pdf

"Consumption of HFCS has increased tenfold since 1974."

Subsidies like this also drove the federal dietary guidelines rather than actual nutrition. When I was a kid they talked about the "4-4-3-2" plan. Every day, 4 servings of meat or dairy, 4 servings of fruit, 3 servings of vegetables, 2 servings of starch.

That was later replaced by the "Food Pyramid", and TBH, I have no idea what it is now.

And don't even get me started on things like "food deserts", we'll be here all day:
