Feature request: whenever someone hot links an XKCD comic, it should add the alt text.
I thought that the dumbbox has it, but I guess not.
But while I'm here, a followup suggestion: automatic temp bans for people who link xkcd comic images instead of the comic page itself.
Maybe I should have included 'rehost xkcd images' with that.
For completeness, here is the title text and a link:
"Although fresh juice DOES sound--" "NO! For humanity to survive we must learn from the mistakes of the past."

a well-known duck comic character
Yes, before a rename for marketing purposes. The name change is common. The family is historically known for being the worst, to the point where they get banished and change their name every century or so. Fucking ducks.

Chertok, whose Vast Ventures is also a backer of popular organic restaurant chain Sweetgreen, said Juicero’s approach to delivering cheap organic produce could be valuable. He said the company is a “platform” for a new model of food delivery, where fresh fruits and veggies are delivered regularly to the home.
Fucking hell, has this idiot never lived outside a city center full of rich idiots? In the small town I'm from, there are still farmers who do weekly deliveries. They even call ahead to ask you what you want this week. They probably deliver better quality at 1/5th of the price, without extra plastic around the "green", "organic", "awesome" product.
Does this moron even know where fruit and veggies come from? Sorry to break it to you, but this "platform" has existed for multiple centuries, in form of a cart attached to a vehicle owner by a farmer.
Damn where can I get in on this? The only thing around here is CSA that you have to drive god knows how far for and I doubt it's even cheaper.

You can't, you're not hat compatible with farmers.

Their labyrinth vaginas and spiked corkscrew penises really add some challenge!

I have no idea of the cost, but the CSA is a long way away, and their products are very hard, inedible and confusing. And deliveries by the CSA were rather more dangerous. I can't even pronounce CSA, and getting involved with the CSA seems risky, but not as risky as CSA.

They obviously meant CSA, stop being obtuse.

So, a farm. Could also include the sacrifice of community members to assure seasons, maybe, some older CSAs did that a lot.
The CSA board member expelled last year over some inscrutable purity dispute, was probably a vestige of that latter.

Well, not now. Now we have plenty.
Are those caverns in New Mexico a national park or a recognized scenic area?

I wonder if Juicero could have succeeded if they'd sold to restaurants instead of consumers.
The pre-diced and packed fruits could save some manual labor if, say, the Jungle Juice Bar could get some of their blends custom-ordered pre-diced in a single package. The end customers likely wouldn't know the difference.

National park, but Carlsberg is Danish and has no funny letters, while "Karlsbad" is spelled "Karlovy Vary" in Czech and has none either.

I recall that they had targeted hotel restaurants / breakfast buffets. But it's definitely more expensive than the standard juice machines they use, so you could only potentially sell to high end places. But it's undoubtedly far less efficient for guests to use.

Phew! For a second there, I was worried.
