The USDA and FDA, which both lean conservative in their recommendations, consider whole cuts of pork safe down to 145F (roughly equivalent to cooked to medium):

This has been the case for over a decade. Pork should be cooked but the old 160F recommendations have been gone for a long time now because commercial pork is relatively safe.

Also note that this is the one-minute pasteurization temp; meat can be held at a lower temperature for longer to render it safe.

There’s literally someone in this thread right now saying you can eat raw pork in America without worry…

The correct response to that is to provide the actual guidelines based on actual data, not to fearmonger while quoting lines referencing wild game.

A huge part of why commercial pork is safe -- that you're consistently leaving out -- were major changes to how livestock are raised. Trichinosis transmission in pigs is primarily caused by the consumption of infected meat; US standards were changed to more strictly control what's fed to pigs, which led to the decreased risk. The risk remains in wild boar because they're omnivores that will scavenge whatever they can find.

145 is still a limit people need to follow, lots of people don’t.

145 isn't a hard limit. It's the recommended holding temperature for one minute.

WTF is going on with the world? Why are there so many manufacturing jobs that require rotating schedules? Are they just trying to destroy your soul and your health? ( sh.itjust.works )

I have been looking for manufacturing, assembly, production positions all over the Midwest. It's absolutely shocking how many of them want you to work rotating shifts....

Worth noting that ATC is unusual in that there is both a maximum age that you can start (30) as well as a mandatory retirement age (56).

Sustainability is a large part of Framework's mission as well. The CEO has explicitly said that one of their goals is that none of their laptops should end up in a landfill.

The transmission in those things is an amazing level of suck, too. It's this bizarre automatic manual thing that's just awful to drive.
