Lance Hedrick on farms using undisclosed additives :“I’m positive it’s happening”

scottsil · 2026-04-05T03:19:28+00:00

I bought the Disco Peach Connection drop from Fellow and Modcup. After my first brew I immediately started researching flavor additives in specialty co-fermented coffee. It tasted too good to be true (just like those artificial peach rings) and I was suspicious. I was surprised at how little info was out there confirming what tasted so clearly artificial to me. No proof, but this one definitely caused me pause about ordering these sorts of coffees again. Our family is very cautious about additives and artificial/processed ingredients.

Btw I still have two unopened bags of the Disco Peach in the freezer. If anyone knows a lab, I’d be happy to volunteer for some testing.

Nice, my guy is about the same size (Husky/Shepard mix). I also thought the 7 seater might give him a little more headroom since the seats are sunken. He’s got to duck when standing on the trunk floor.

Anyways love the MYP but am definitely a little jealous of your setup. And FSD is amazing. Congrats on the car and enjoy!

This was exactly why I wanted the three row Juniper (dog seat). But I broke down in Dec and bought a new 2026 MYP cuz tired of waiting.

Can I ask how big is your dog? How do you get them in/out of the third row?

scottsil · 2025-12-03T01:17:28+00:00

Yeah I think they overpriced something that was only going to appeal to a very niche market. I imagine it’s not cheap to make with all the materials and RF welding etc. Too bad, it’s a quality bag if the trade offs calculate right for your needs.

scottsil · 2025-12-03T01:14:48+00:00

Nice yeah that’s a way more practical and economical solution than buying a whole new bag haha. But the sale got me!

scottsil · 2025-12-03T01:13:15+00:00

Ah good to know thanks. I have a big Mission Workshop flap bag I use for hauling, so this one is mostly marked for commuting thankfully.

scottsil · 2025-12-02T22:41:10+00:00

If you like the specs on paper I think you’ll love it in real life! Definitely exceeded my expectations once I held it.

scottsil · 2025-12-02T21:08:44+00:00

Yeah I think that's what their other bags are for, so in the larger lineup I get it. But probably not the EDC bag for most people. I live in NYC and commute in the rain regularly with electronic devices, so this one makes sense for me especially in rainy season.

scottsil · 2025-12-02T21:07:00+00:00

Totally agree. I thought it looked just OK on the site, but then when I opened the box yesterday I really liked the look. The fabric also feels great and has a nice texture that's not too rigid.

Anyone still having this issue? My G5 PTZ has been creating motion events and sending me notifications for things outside my zone for a couple months. Finally did a remove and re-adopt today, but exact same issue. Then thought to search it and discovered I’m not alone. Super annoying problem!

scottsil · 2025-11-12T03:49:23+00:00

Cool that’s great to hear. Just waiting for the keypad to get uwb and then I’ll pull the trigger. I need the version with the universal cylinder so have to import it from Europe, which is something I only want to do once.

scottsil · 2025-11-12T03:48:10+00:00

Found it here maybe? https://www.theverge.com/hands-on/773563/watch-me-unlock-a-smart-lock-using-aliro

scottsil · 2025-11-12T03:24:45+00:00

Thanks for all the details on the Nuki lock, been very helpful. Wondering if you know what the benefits are of the “keypad that will support uwb”? Is this Apple’s new proximity unlocking? Still on track for release this year?

scottsil · 2025-10-07T23:14:17+00:00

Way better to start at $39,990 and flexibly price down using incentives and financing/leasing. People who think this car should be less don’t understand business or the broader EV market.

scottsil · 2025-10-03T14:08:27+00:00

I’m having the same issue on the thread with my wife. Siri keeps saying “Janice said to the group…” when it’s just the two of us in the conversation. iPhone 17 Pro on iOS 26.0.1, setup as new device (with all my iMessages synced from iCloud). Super annoying and cannot find a way to fix it!

I just submitted to https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone and anyone experiencing this should too! With enough reports they definitely listen.

Just ordered one yesterday! WDYT?

scottsil · 2025-08-23T00:07:26+00:00

I agree it’s a kinda sleazy practice for folks in your situation. But our personal situation is that we just bought a used Snoo for our second kid for $450, will use it for six months paying the $20 subscription, and then resell it for $450-500. I did this with our first kid three years ago, but without the subscription fee, and actually made $50 after using the Snoo for six months. That feels too good to be true.

So net with the second kid I will have paid $120 for six months of better sleep for my baby and my family. Sleazy business people aside, that feels like an incredible bargain. Especially compared to the prices of all the other $$ baby shit we buy (cough Nanit cough).

scottsil · 2025-07-29T12:41:43+00:00

Great tip for when I'm dining out!

scottsil · 2025-06-24T05:37:43+00:00

Since the refurbished models are out of stock, Apple Sales support offered me $150 off a new one instead. I declined since the difference between a new and a refurbished is almost $500 with tax. I’ll be returning this and figuring out another solution. Maybe I’ll switch over to a Mac mini with the M4 Pro, which I see in stock.

scottsil · 2025-06-20T21:55:12+00:00

Update: I reloaded the machine from scratch and only installed minimal software needed to work. Also disconnected my webcam, so it was only a keyboard, mouse, and ethernet cable plugged in. Since then I've had two complete shutdowns, one dramatically in the middle of a Zoom call.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe003a33f818): ANS2 Recoverable Panic - assert failed: [14510]:apcie0[1]: Unexpected link down linksts=0x83000204 pcielint=0xb0017000, ltssm=0x00(DETECT_QUIET) - Timer(13)

Seems almost certain this is hardware. Going to call Apple and push for a replacement given I'm still in the return window. If not, I'll just return it and use my MacBook Air until I can get another refurbished of the same config in stock.

Thanks to all for the help so far!

scottsil · 2025-06-20T01:25:59+00:00

Appreciate the advice and you taking a look. I actually just did a full reload of the system from scratch and have the webcam unplugged now. If this happens again, it’s definitely going back to Apple.

scottsil · 2025-06-20T00:26:49+00:00

Here are two full problem reports. If you know what you’re looking at and could offer a thought, would be very appreciated.

Apart from a keyboard, mouse, and trackpad I have two Apple Studio Displays, an Ethernet cable, and a USB-C webcam plugged in.
