If it's really that long, it sounds like it's literally spinning up an actual vinyl record.
You're right to be suspicious; most juices are not just "freshly squeezed" from a fruit - they're processed.
Part of the "process" is to actually extract the sweetest part of the juice and leave the rest behind (so way more sugary than "natural") and some will actually contain some other forms of filler (like non-orange based oils).
It's a lot like McNuggets or Subway chicken sandwiches - they're made "from real chicken" but with all of added the salt and fillers, you end up wondering exactly how much of it is actual chicken.
One of the best way to evaluate "real juice" is by how long it'll last before it expires (either shelf life or after opening) - more than a few days will indicate there's extra preservatives, etc. in it.
The explanation is simple: it's an app that makes Apple money, so of course Apple is going to let it through unchallenged.
Apple is not consumers' BFF - it's the BFF of their shareholders, for which they'll do anything to please.
Funny, I would consider all the unending pro-crypto stories to be the propaganda (someone coined a term: "pro-bitcoinism"[1])
What I've noticed is that the vitriol is almost always instigated by the crypto crowd (especially the bitcoiners), that will lash out at anyone or about anything that doesn't have total loyalty to their "movement". Not exactly an inviting crowd, and certainly doesn't reflect well on cryptocurrency as a whole.
> I for one, take this perceived negative bias as a confirmation that Bitcoin is a genuine threat to the existing financial system.
And the other side perceives that total loyalty/belief as some sort of cult. Turns out both sides are right...*and* wrong - just not for the reasons they think.

I mean, 20 years, maybe even just 10 years ago we would've shrugged off the type of attacks happening now as "pure science fiction".
They already have enough clout to be able to buy the votes to avoid that (it'd be pocket change to them).
(For those not in the know - Rob Ford was a former mayor of Toronto, whom was not known for being a particularly smart or nice person; Rob Ford died a few years ago. Doug Ford is his brother, and is the current Premier of Ontario. Doug is definitively less of an embarrassment, but only "less".)
Especially considering they're a) charging a yearly fee and b) selling ads on the AppStore (which as someone else here pointed out is their aim to grow ad sales by clamping down on the ad identifier to make ads outside of the AppStore less useful).
If not, have you asked for 3x normal salary, since they apparently think they own you 24/7?
The casualty of that solution might be buses (as others pointed out this road is also being used for), but the city can make exceptions for those (as is usual in most places due to stops being commonly in the right turn lane).
It's clear from the massive number of videos, and of various types of drivers (truck rentals, furniture delivery trucks, campers, etc.) that the current "system" they have is inadequate to avoid these crashes. "It just doesn't work". Just blaming the driver only isn't a solution (I actually wonder if the city/railroad has ever been sued because of this).
Why, yes, a 9 foot pole would get run over by a 13 foot truck. There's a reason I used the words "something like..." and not "exactly this..."
> but I'm sure you wouldn't want random plastic objects scraping across your roof when you drive, right?
Again - it's used as a WARNING SYSTEM - you prefer returning the truck with a torn off roof, or a still-fully functional one with just some extra minor scrapes?
1. Most people would correctly expect that road-approved vehicles would clear all bridges.
2. This one is literally a couple of inches out for clearance; it looks like the truck is 12ft (or whatever the current bridge height is), which is probably what the truck's height indication is. It's not unreasonable for the driver to expect to clear the bridge even knowing the height of both, especially if they match closely.
3. The bridge was recently lifted to its current height - if this is a 'local' driver, they probably expect all vehicles to clear it now, knowing it got lifted.
Yes, that one protects the bridge - what I'm talking about is a 'warning' bumper, that you can run into, but won't damage the vehicle (as others' comments here have mentioned). It would be put up further up ahead of the bridge itself (not at the bridge). Something like this:

One would think they would've looked more closely at the traffic on that road and adjusted it accordingly.
It's also really silly to have a sign indicating that too large vehicles must turn, which most drivers won't read/see in time, and practically force them to crash into the bridge, instead of having some sort of 'bumpers' ahead of the bridge for those vehicles to bump into first (I've seen those at entrances of parking lots that have both above ground and underground parking).
P.S. Not blaming the poster for submitting this - only the WP for publishing it.
