ma resident here. there's massive corruption within the ma state police. the karen read trial uncovered a fair amount but i suspect we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. stories like this sadly don't surprise me.

> Tech folks pivoting to medical always throws off some alarm bells to me

Same for me. I've been in the medical device industry for 15+ years now and came from "tech". What a lot of techies under/don't appreciate is that the medical device industry is heavily regulated and moves at a muuuch slower pace than other technologies.

There are lots of regulatory and quality/testing hurdles that you must clear (namely verification and validation testing, in addition to your 510(k) clearance or approval, if PMA) before you can market and sell your device.

I tell customers, on average, a Class II medical device project can take 18-24 months and cost $3M to 4M, minimum.

i find it hard to be sympathetic here. they sold their business to unilever, a multinational consumer goods company, for $326m in 2000 ($613m in today's money).

25 years later, jerry thinks the company has lost its independence? the independence was lost before the ink dried on the sales agreement. unilever never cared about their social mission, period. they've been "dealing" with it since the acquisition.

why not take the sale proceeds and pursue other social missions? btw, phish food is my favorite flavor! <3

you can do this at starbucks if you placed your through their mobile app. it amazes me that so many people "order ahead" but still take the time to park their vehicle and go inside.

80's baby here. not only were the cartoons amazing on saturday morning, but somehow the milk was colder and the cereal tasted amazing!

i've had quite a few experiences with AWFUL uber drivers as well. i think it would be beneficial for uber to require some sort of ODB monitoring like some insurance companies do. one time on a trip to the airport, i almost had the driver pull over on the side of the road to let me know. i was GENUINELY scared by her driving.

out of sheer curiosity, i took my first (few) waymo rides while in san francisco last month. mind = blown. there is nothing more enjoyable than getting into a vehicle by yourself, no driver, no awkwardness, nothing. i was happy to pay more for a waymo than an uber, too.

same here! we're dating ourselves... xD

missed the “my”. you are correct in that case. in “my” state, we can’t have any fun. hint: it rhymes with “taxachussetts”.

A suppressor is transferred from an FLL to a buyer via a Form 4, not a Form 1. Form 1 is for the manufacturing of an NFA item and most people are not manufacturing suppressors, they are purchased.
