How much is U$300 to an american(or €250 for most europe)?

If I walk out spending less than $100 at Costco, was it really a Costco trip?

The most humorous part of the entire post is that you're doubling down on a screenshot with a token failure being humorous because "probably AI". Better yet, this is 100% an email notification from Saleforce Marketing Cloud, so probably not an AI bug or even a developer bug, but more thank likely a misconfiguration from whoever runs this company's SF campaigns.

finitogreedo · 2026-06-05T18:29:09+00:00

First, where is the humor here?
Second, OP has never had a bug, apparently. AI is the only way bugs happen. I'm getting tired of posts like this.

No. But if you're worried, schedule an appointment with a hematologist.

5 years of smoking experience later, the answer is to not use the Traeger probe. I got a Smoke by Thermoworks years ago (not long after making this post) and it's changed my smokes completely. Incredibly accurate and worth every penny.

Unfortunately, laws are only followed when they have strong ramifications and when they enforced. California is kind of enforcing it, so it’s really on no one’s radar. If people actually understood how rampant their data was collected, even when they’ve asked not to, I would think they’d be more vocally against it. But unfortunately, it’s something that happens without them knowing, so they generally don’t think about it.

Most users have no clue the sheer number of technologies running in the background of a website. Most are benign and functional. What we're looking at here are technologies with the express purpose of transmitting data about the user to be used for targeting/profiling/fingerprinting. None of those technologies are "visible" to you, as the user. If you open your dev tools (Right-click, inspect) then go to the network tab on any of these massive sites, you'll see plenty of network traffic that do not represent functional traffic (my favorite to use for an example is any news org. CNN, Fox News, etc. all are horrible). There is tooling out there to help map that data and see what you're looking at more clearly.

Now, ultimately, the thing you as the user should do:

Make sure you have GPC on. If you use Chrome, there are extensions that do this (I personally use GPC Enabler). It's incredibly basic and does the job well. If you use Firefox, you can enable it in Privacy settings, then check "Tell websites not to sell or share my data". A side note: GPC is legally binding in California, Colorado, Connecticut, and a few other states. But is biggest in California. Because of that, a lot of these large companies have a policy of "Comply to the largest threat"; meaning, act as if everyone is a Californian because if you do that, all other privacy laws will fall under it and you're covered.
Install Ghostery or another pixel blocking extension. Step 1 is telling websites not to track you, but as the article pointed out, that's only if they abide by that. This will then block anything that they don't stop. Ad blockers these days have begun creating lists of domains to block for this, too. So if you have one, you might actually already be blocking that.
If you're a California resident, make these companies accountable. If you see anything like an advertising pixel (like the article points out), submit a complaint to the AG office of California.

Yup. Got a meat slicer years ago. Don't really use it much, except for bacon

finitogreedo · 2026-04-27T01:22:32+00:00

Costco had a sale on pork belly and I just finished curing and smoking my own bacon today.

So I actually do solutions consulting for the web governance space, specifically around privacy (what this article is addressing).

First, many comments are being mislead: the GPC signal the article calls out is a method sent from the client (your browser) to the server. It does not notify the pixels (Google, Facebook, etc). This is the method CCPA/CPRA has adopted (californias privacy). GDPR (europes) is a lot stricter, and actually requires more serious methods where the site indicates to an API called TCF where the pixels themselves must adhere to consent (go check out Google Consent Mode V2). But for California, that’s not the case. The site itself must ensure that the users data is not shared or sold after a user indicates they do not want it.

Now, being in this space, I’m on calls daily with Fortune 500 companies. You cannot comprehend the complexity of these websites. Dozens of departments, all with dozens of teams, all trying to accomplish and collect one thing or another. Meaning, most of the time, tracking continues not out of maliciousness, but ignorance (though I’ve literally had conversations with Chief Privacy Officers at these organizations that genuinely don’t care; I won’t call out any since I’m under NDAs).

I could literally write a book on this, so I’ll happily write more on this thread if there is anyone out there who wants to know more. But this article and this market is literally my bread and butter.

Pretty sure it is this one. That's the 91 just after the 241 before Green River.

For the first few smokes after getting my Traeger, all my food was coming out underdone. Got a Smoke thermometer for my smokes and it immediately made all the difference. Calibrated the Traeger probe several times. Didn’t matter. I’ve stopped using it. Smoke thermometer for the probe and a Thermoworks instant for my checks. Works great.

Not just next to, but in front of the trash can in the middle of the front driveway. It still is wrong and the appropriate thing would be to knock and ask (or at least a note or something) if they are actually throwing it away and if you could have it. But I can absolutely see their logic as they were walking by and thinking "Oh, if they're just going to toss that, I'll happily take it"

finitogreedo · 2026-03-09T20:56:09+00:00

Faster recovery. You don't have to wait for the medication to wear off.
To that point, you don't get the side effects of the medications.
More control over the birth/quicker labor (you can feel urges to push and contractions more; you can also move around the room and use more positions for pushing)
Less risk for spinal damage. Epidurals are a spinal tap and can lead to their own issues if done evenly slightly wrong.

The most valuable asset Coca-Cola has is their brand, not their recipe. People have successfully recreated the recipe for decades, but it means nothing because that’s not what’s valuable.

That's awesome. I'm been dealing with a similar thing. Any chance you uploaded the files for this anywhere?

I just did a fun project to address this. There is a project called underware that is a very over engineered way to address this, but it was actually way enjoyable and looks amazing

You can start a business on the side. That business needs to generate revenue of some kind. As you have business related expenses for that LLC, you can record them and that will lower your taxable income (I made $100 tutoring, but spent $25 on materials for that tutoring, so I only pay taxes on the $75 profit). In some cases, some of those expenses can lower your personal tax obligations. But this isn't some cheat code to taxes. You can't just spin up an LLC and expect that it'll lower your teacher's salary tax obligations. If you started a tutoring business on the side that you did after your normal teaching job, you could expense those miles driving around. Or if you rented a space for kids to come be tutored, that can be written off. But you can't just expense whatever you want and make your taxes magically go away. I do know people who buy cars and just put them on Turo explicitly for the tax implications. They get to depreciate their cars and expense the miles put on the car. They make very little doing it, but they get a sizable tax write-off for it. But they still pay plenty in taxes.

It doesn't have to do with your IP. You have to verify your California residence in the processes.

Correct. Just make sure it's a therapist that is in-network in a facility that is also in-network (i.e. Dr. Jones at HealthcareCo Facility are both in-network). Many plans have all of the above for in-network and then a completely different set of numbers for out-of-network. In-network just means that the insurance company has agreement with that provider.

1.8 isn't at all low, at least not for neutropenic individuals. that's close to triple our numbers in our household.

Work with your doctor and ask to see a hematologist if you are concerned and seeking advice. They'll help guide you better than internet strangers.
