I agree. One of the weird things is that the precipitation map will show rain coming that doesn't show anywhere else in the Weather app. Nearly every time that happens, the map is the one that's correct. And usually forecast.weather.gov will align with the map as well (and provide a better forecast than the app).

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."

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.

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.

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 :|

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...
