This talks about detecting it in whole turmeric, any way of doing so for powdered turmeric?

For testing i prefer systemd-nspawn containers with mkosi. A neat tool for running your other fav. distro in a terminal. Works like a charm and integrates nicely in your system. Eg. logs and systemd services or CI testing.

> LCX and Lead ID were responsible for many of these fake comments, letters, and petition signatures. Across four advocacy campaigns in 2017 and 2018, LCX fabricated consumer responses used in approximately 900,000 public comments submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) at the U.S. Department of the Interior. Similarly, in advocacy campaigns between 2017 and 2019, Lead ID fabricated more than half a million consumer responses. These campaigns targeted a variety of government agencies and officials at the federal and state levels.

Wow. Just wow. How can anyone at these companies be avoiding jail time?

And who hired them? Is there no money trail?

That bit friendly fraud must stay profitable. Otherwise the enemy would do it for half the price! And besides, they just protected their jobs. That reasonable and everybody would have done this!!

"A panel of low-vision and legally blind developers provided feedback at each stage of design"

I used the medium style for two hours at pretty small font-size (8pt) on a light background. And i must say i kind of liked it so far. The greater line height and letter spacing looks good on smaller sizes. On greater font-sizes the letters getting to much "personality" and the font start to feel out of bounds. It is as easy to read as my preferred font but in smaller sizes. Which is appreciated. Not sure if really want to switch, though.

You'll love Linus Boman's take on it then [1]

If you love neo-grotesques, you can't do much better than Neue Haas Grotesk or Atlas Grotesk [2]. Both are by CommercialType, both cost a pretty penny, but both are absolutely amazing.

I fully agree with you about wanting beautiful and pleasing characters though. It's my gift to myself for being paperfree. If I'm going to read on screen instead of printed, I want the best possible experience. 32" 4K display, professional fonts, nice software for writing in etc.

I like Plex, but for some reason dislike fonts that put a dot in the middle of the zero.

If the O and the 0 are so similar that you need a decoration, then it's wrong.

If a decoration is absolutely necessary, then I prefer a slash. A big, meaty slash. Not one that is confined inside the zero.

On a (narrow) monotype font, it's pretty hard to make the capital 'O' wide/round enough, isn't it?

"Can i use this" badges for cross browser features

[Green] If you see the green Baseline badge, then you can trust that the feature will work in the browsers' latest and previous major releases.

[Yellow] If you see a yellow badge showing that a feature is not yet Baseline, then do more research and testing with your site's users before relying on that feature, or wait for it to become Baseline.
