Back in the day I was working on a team with an ugly ETL pipeline for scraping news articles.
It had a habit of guessing wrong about character encodings, so by the time the data reached my zone of responsibility it was often solidly mojibake.
So two of us wrote a module that tried to guess at the (noisy-channel) transcodings that got us here & reverse them (used a simple "what language is this" filter to evaluate candidates).
Some clever wit -- I think it was…

I'm curious - what San Francisco media has covered this? Admittedly something I have not been looking for. But a quick search doesn't find many news articles - but it appears to be a nationwide problem. Sure, FDA has published their alert (2022) but that's not a great tool to reach people who need to know about risks.
The FDA has warned against this ‘natural remedy’ for joint pain. San Francisco immigrants still trust it

In San Francisco, doctors say, a growing number of Latinos who work physically demanding jobs have turned to supplements that promise relief for joint and bone pain. FDA warnings are not filtering through

The C switch decision to do fallthrough by default is a clever idea at face value, but quite useless and often harmful.
I find it useless because it expands what you can do only before, not after. You can't have a case that adds extra statements after. A "break with condition" if you will.
Actually I think I can put a break inside an if statement....but I've never seen anyone doing it. Also it's very cluttery and unreadable.
And I hope everone knows why …

California Company Launches Beer Made from Shower Water Using NASA-Grade Technology | Happy Eco News
Epic Cleantec launched the first commercial beer made from shower water, now available nationwide. The Shower Hour IPA and Laundry Club Kölsch use water purified through membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, and UV treatment. Buildings waste 15 percent of global drinking water, and Epic's technology demonstrates how advanced recycling systems can transform this discarded resource.
