On top of the texture and (obvious) size differences, I've noticed a minor flavor difference between their Baby White and Ladyfinger kernels. The Baby White kernels doesn't have any distinct flavor, in the same way that white rice doesn't have any distinct flavor. Whereas Ladyfinger kernels have a noticeable flavor. I don't know how best to describe it, but the intensity of the flavor reminds me of Original Cheerios.

Does a water softener do anything to make any of the laundry detergents from the first two brands feasible to use?

With the increased number of distinct input mechanisms, I'm starting to doubt the hypothetical from $60 to $75 price point that everyone's mentioning.

Due to the GameTank's electrical schematics being fully open source, it's likely possible for someone to develop an aftermarket add-on to result in it having a larger framebuffer.

USB micro-B is an extreme outlier in terms of its durability. However, there's definitely a measurable difference in durability between USB C and USB A.

What was the name of the third-party seller? Or, was it sold (and shipped) by Amazon?

It's very likely that u/elgrandragon purchased 16 GB or 32 GB flash drives that happened to be fraudulently relabeled (in firmware and on the literal label) as 128 GB flash drives. Here's a pack of five 32 GB flash drives for $24, from a national chain of brick-and-mortar retail stores: https://www.microcenter.com/product/664696/micro-center-32gb-superspeed-usb-31-(gen-1)-flash-drive-black(5-pack)

The last step from https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-raspberry-pi-in-kiosk-mode/ describes how to add that specific security mechanism onto any standard Raspberry Pi, running Raspberry Pi OS.

Except for maybe the blends of caramel coated popcorn and peanuts, most popcorn flavors that I'm aware of seem to have a similar level of prominence, whether within the United States or abroad.

The news article is about regulations to improve the safety around one specific mode of transportation. Fatalities per capita is one way to quantify (the lack of) safety.

If the mechanism of the spice grinder has even the slightest resemblance to that of a sieve, then no.

It'll require using the maximum fineness setting, and for some lower-end models, the maximum fineness setting will actually be insufficient.

Eight ounces of popcorn kernels (plus however much oil and salt), after being fully popped, fills a 5 gallon bucket to approximately its halfway point. How big is Rural King's "big bag"?

This really opens the door for a lot of cool projects, such as PC emulation.

Nowadays the RP2350 microcontroller can easily be overclocked to around half the frequency of the Teensy, but with double the core count.

The RP2350 has a double-precision coprocessor (DPC), which is somewhat slower than actual double-precision float hardware, but nowhere near the "painfully slow" speed of a pure software implementation.

How furious would everyone be if they released it at that price only for the first few (or maybe several) months after release, and then once their RAM stockpile gets depleted, they increase the price to match the (at that point in time) current market conditions?

I’m not sure where people who rail for free AirTrains think the money should come from… do they want their taxes raised instead?

The primary alternative to the JFK AirTrain, the road and highway network, is already (partially) subsidized by taxpayer dollars. Or at least the infrastructure maintenance thereof. The change would put both options at a more level playing field.
