Note that they sold their pharmacy business, but claim to be continuing the testing for the new owner: "The company has since sold its pharmacy operation to concentrate only on quality and safety testing. It continues to test products for the pharmacy’s new owner, Medly, along with other business clients looking to certify for their customers that what they’re buying is legitimate." From https://www.consumerreports.org/product-safety/valisure-foun...

And Medly filed for bankruptcy in December, and sold it's digital assets to Walgreens as of last week (and is now shut down completely).

All those mergers, including with my go-to for supplements, Pharmaca, in such a short time. How did it turn into such a dumpster fire so quickly? I feel like there's got to be a story.

If anyone's interested in the shipyards in Scotland, which were mentioned in the article, here's a site that is trying to catalog every ship built there:

I don't remember any in the printed version, but it's been long enough that I'm not certain.

> "artezian" (artisanal?) spring

Artesian: it refers to groundwater under pressure.

Thanks! Seems the alternative spelling with a "z" threw off Google when I searched for it.

Silly one that I discovered: my t-shirts all developed a hole in the center of the stomach area first, before any other damage. It appears to be from rubbing between the seat belt of the car and the zipper/button area of my pants. So I've started pulling the shirt out of that spot after I put the seat belt on. Too early to tell how much of a difference it's made.

I have the same issue and I only ride cars very very rarely. I'm still wondering about the reason.

I got one recently. Haven't had it for long enough to see wear issues, but I'm surprised how well it's worked. Biggest annoyance is that it's sensitive to being jostled. When it was just power, that didn't matter so much, but when it's connected to my docking station, it's the same as yanking the cable. It's staying, for now, but I have to be careful moving things around on my desk.

Edit to address sibling concern: It's running a TB3 screen, so seems to be working for that...

Would really appreciate a link. Have been looking at magnetic USB C connectors but some look shady/bad.

Wanted to wait until this dropped off the front page out of respect for chx's concerns.

In that vein, let me say that I have neither the skills nor the equipment to evaluate any of chx's technical concerns. The best I can say is that it seems to do what I want (pass power and TB3 with a magnetic coupling), and there haven't been any symptoms of problems that I've been able to see. Yet. I'm now a little worried, though :|

The 24-pin one here is what I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0896QK2J5

I use the same one and it works for me with the Caldigit thunderbolt 3 dock.

If I remember correctly, the Vanish series (R and XC) have the least padding, something like 14mm front and rear. It's still more padded than I'd like, coming from some of the Merrells, but I liked the weight and fit enough to switch. I run in the Vanish XCs.

I've never seen them in a store to try on though, so you'll have to order them from Altra's site and send back the ones you don't like. I find they run a little small.
