    So, FYI, that butter recall was voluntary, not forced by the FDA. Think of it as Costco showing their customers they are honest. Its a PR thing.
    This article spins it a little differently: https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/the-costco-butter-recall-of-2024-is-not-what-you-think/

    After reading your article, I’m confused by your response. Nowhere in my original screenshot did it say that the FDA was involved, nor did it state that it was a “mandatory” recall.

    The screenshot I posted is pointing out the absurdity of the fact that our society has regressed to the point that we need warning labels on BUTTER stating that it contains MILK. So no, there isn’t “more than you think” to the recall - It remains simply stunning that someone actually said “…OMG - we forgot to print “contains milk” on the butter boxes!”

    Which brings us full circle to “You’re Doing It Wrong”.

    But thanks for the unsolicited PSA - you’re doing noble work;-)

    Is that one of the 12 steps?

    Not sure. I'm billbillw, not Bill W. You'd have to ask someone who is a friend of Bill W.

    I think it is actually plural; i.e., one Kek, two Kex.

    Y'all should see the connector that Boulder amps require. It's HUGE!

    .....coming from a 15 amp C-13 that plugs into the wall. There are things in audio that one just cannot explain.

    In all fairness....The MF PS I have does the same daggum thing. C-13 at the wall, yet a C-19 at the input. Say what? Cray-cray, if you ask me....

    Looks like it's basically a stove cord? 32 amp so probably running a 50 Amp circuit?

    Ah ok, many amps that require 30 amps or more offer compromise versions that work on 15 and 20 amp circuits but they don't perform near as well and suffer at resale

    Here's my beef, Trey...

    If you are gonna build it? Well, freakin' BUILD IT!!!

    If something requires 30 amps? Well, make the plug that goes into the wall reflect that. Same daggum thing with a 20A amp. Who cares if it kills sales. This is already a niche hobby. The people who buy 30-50A amps? They are WELL beyond a C-13 (15A plug) and usually have dedicated circuits already installed in anticipation of said system (if the room wasn't already built specifically for it!)

    Just sayin'...
