Yep, that is the case I was referring to. I hadn't heard about the autopsy results. I apologize. My claim was somewhere between imprecise and wrong.

Every home that uses electricity for heat is a mission-critical site when it's 0 degrees F outside. Kids froze to death in their own beds.

I hope so too. I was thinking of printed circuit boards.

That interpretation isn't justified. The author makes it clear that she is still financially dependent on her parents, who still collect cans for a living.

This story is set in Brooklyn, so the author's parents are likely benefiting from the five cent deposit on every beverage can sold in the state of New York [0].

Can deposits are a great idea, in my opinion. Why don't more places have them? They give people an incentive to recycle (so they get their deposit back), and if they choose to litter, whoever cleans up after them gets the money.

This is old news, but I just noticed that "M1 Max" sounds exactly like "M1 Macs." Mac computers with M1 Max processors are "M1 Max Macs."
