    They also tried to pull people in by releasing a new game for free every week (even AAA titles!), which was actually the coolest thing they ever did.

    You’re using the past tense, but they’re very much still giving away games for free. On a related note for OP, I’m pretty sure amazon prime gives away games for free too, so if you don’t know where to start, you can always start with something that doesn’t cost you anything (extra, assuming you have prime).

    Opening a Rear Door with No Power

    You can open a rear door manually (if equipped) in the unlikely situation in which Model Y has no power:

    • Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
    • Press the red tab to remove the access door.
    • Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

    Note

    Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

    Opening the front doors seems easy enough in the user manual, but opening the back doors requires you to remove a hidden panel then pull a cable, but not all versions of the car even have that hidden panel. Assuming the one in this article did, the car owner would need to give a little safety briefing to every passenger if you want to expect them to know how to open the door. And I’m really not sure what you’re expected to do if you have a kid in a carseat in the back.

    The tree on the right has that block missing in its shadow, the trees on the left are casting their shadows in a slightly different direction, and they guy on the dirt path’s shadow seems too dark and clear. Once you pointed out something was wrong, it’s hard not to see other mistakes.

    It’s important to know that both the FDA and the USDA are in charge of inspecting food, and which food is covered by which agency can be complicated.

    FSIS [under the USDA] conducts continuous daily inspections of foods in its domain, whereas FDA inspections have no regular schedule. The FDA is more likely to inspect only after a tip about a possible food safety violation, so random inspections can occur up to 10 years apart or, in rare cases, not at all.

    “It’s not that they don’t want to inspect more, they just don’t have the funding,” Raymond says.

    This inspection imbalance means that pepperoni pizza, because it contains meat, has ingredients that will be inspected three times before the product hits the grocery store freezer: at the slaughterhouse, the packing plant and the pizza factory. A vegetarian pizza produced at the same facility, however, will probably not undergo any inspection.

    And in regard to the FDA being not allowed to regulate:

    [The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994] placed the burden of proof concerning dietary supplement safety on FDA, requiring the agency to show that a dietary supplement ingredient is adulterated rather than requiring the manufacturer to prove a supplement is safe prior to marketing. This is in contrast to new food additives, which require submission of safety information in a food additive petition prior to marketing, or drugs, which generally require submission of safety data as part of a new drug application prior to marketing.

    At least with dietary supplements, they can’t make a new product guarantee it’s safe, the FDA needs to already know something is dangerous before it can force a recall.
