  2. Re:GRAS, We Pinky Swear on Impossible Burgers' Key, Bloody Ingredient Wins FDA Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Reading TFA (I know), it turns out that new food ingredients don't actually require FDA approval, since food companies can simply state that their novel ingredient is safe, and then the FDA probably won't challenge that. ~10% of all food ingredients haven't been FDA tested/assessed, due to this self-approval loophole, and a concerned party is suing the FDA to close it.

    Seems to me if that were the case it would be the other way around. As in, if it doesn't legally require testing and you can self declare something as safe then only about 10% of it would be properly tested/approved.

    So I just read that Tesla asked for refunds from dealers in order to cover their debts. I suppose this is a lie as well?

    I just read that Tesla is going to cut the price and every car now comes with a free blowjob because they have so much cash but you know what Lincoln said about believing everything you see on the internet.

    But it still doesn't make sense. So it does controller input locally, but it still has to send that input of the game in cloudzone, apply it there and then stream the results back? What's the point in doing any kind of processing on it before sending it on. I can only assume image processing is setting a resolution and if its anything like the local steaming you can do now that'll be low, med, high and maybe an option to show your network usage. Oh yeah, and good luck to anyone with a capped data plan, I'm sure this won't gobble that up superquick.

    Man I feel old saying this but... Remember a time when you could pack a gaming system away in a box for a decade or two and open it up and all the games still worked? You could sit in a couch and play with your friends. Only one copy of the game was needed.

    How times change. I pulled out a second controller that hasn't been used in ages to get some 2p going on the bone the other day and it said controller needs updating. I was like what. the. fuck.
