Could be one batch or many. A “batch” means different things in different food industry contexts and has more to do with ingredient tracking than production timespan

They probably do. Though, food industry metal detectors have to regularly be calibrated with check wands: plastic bars with very small embedded metal fragments designed to mimic possible contaminants like brush wire, oven conveyor pieces, etc.

When I was QA at a food plant that used them, there were numerous problems with the metal detectors.

1. Line operators were haphazardly trained on calibration and how fucking important it is to do it correctly and on time. Lots of operators rushed or skipped calibration and falsified the logs. The fact they were rushed, overworked, and underpaid didn’t help.
2. The detectors had a high false-positive rate, leading to a “oh it’s probably nothing” attitude.
3. Management didn’t want to spend ANY money on maintenance and upgrades that would have prevented metal contamination or decreased detection errors.

To this day I still have a lot of anxiety eating factory food because of the nightmares I witnessed at that place…

moreso this is a hypothetical alternate universe where every time a straight woman says the word “dyke” it gets bleeped, a la that South Park clip

if straight women got bleeped when they said “dyke” I’d have a way easier time dating 🫠

just run up to a hot gal with a fake microphone like “TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”

“[bleep]?”
“correct thank you ma’am have a nice day”

“dyke?”
“correct! question 2 are you single and/or dating?”

How do you think they got to be archaic?

oh yeah! that’s way cutesier-sounding than trap now I think about it

I actually use a decade old version of this to control a very expensive machine at work which is simultaneously surreal and validating of all the time I wasted spent learning linux from my teens onward

original meaning: “waaaah I got trapped into thinking a person of the sex I’m not attracted to is hot and now my genitalia is making me feel weird!”

new & improved meaning: this person dressed not as their assigned-birth-sex is so hot they could literally trap me Looney Tunes style by being distractingly attractive 😩

I wouldn’t pejoratively call a mute person dumb, a mobility device user lame, or an intellectually disabled person retarded

but I will absolutely call cringe political fanatics lame, dumb retards

also here’s some free fag-passes from your friendly internet dyke, cuz “fag” is a great fuckin multipurpose word

my friends make fun of me for wearing black in the summertime but i am more uncomfortable wearing non-black than i am just sweating it out 🫠

yup, the aluminum basically acts as a mordant for the natural yellowish stain of sweat and its microbial metabolites

best to skip antiperspirant when wearing white shirts. aluminum-free deodorant (there is no such thing as aluminum free antiperspirant, btw) can help mask BO but will not stop sweat. but if you like white shirts that’s probably a decent trade-off.

zinc oxide is a decent deodorant ingredient that doesn’t prevent sweating but does slow down microbes that eat sweat and release odorous compounds

avoid baking soda if you have sensitive skin as it can raise your skin pH to uncomfortable levels. ymmv

I respect Bunsenlabs for lacking the chaotic instability that I loved to hate about Crunchbang in high school, and which I hate to wish I could love as a busy adult requiring a stable system…

CrunchBang was my jam in late high school. I couldn’t believe how much more lightweight it was compared to Lubuntu, which had been my main for years due to having a potato laptop
