If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”

if you feel comfortable mucking about in your BIOS, disabling TPM will pretty much guarantee they don’t spring 11 on you. they are really dead set on that requirement for some reason.

nothing on this page mentions anything about Ozempic, semaglutide, or the amounts of funding received. the closest thing is a list of current diabetes research projects with, again, no amounts listed and no clear relation to ozempic.

In fairness I may be mistaken. It seems ISPs were extended common carrier protections in relation to hosting Usenet and email and I conflated that with the protocols themselves. Either way it was a long time ago and I doubt they’d extend those protections to generic web platforms these days, but I’d sure like someone to set a precedent for it.

I don’t think comparing a federated message board to smuggling drugs is as fair a comparison as say email or Usenet, also federated services which have both been granted common carrier in the past, but go off I guess.

Legally I think they’d probably be exempted from liability as a common carrier, similar to how your email server isn’t going to get sued if you mail someone a link to piracy. I doubt they’re interested in testing that theory though.

It had made them over a billion dollars as of 2019

they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall

a single button makes the clicks sound warmer.

I think the “fit for uses reasonably intended” is probably the more relevant clause here. A dipshit landlord could try to argue that hot water is a luxury or something, but have a much harder time arguing that it’s unreasonable to expect hot water to work as initially sold and provided. Depends on how “fit for human habitation” is legally defined.

There was a fad a long while ago where people would get their number stamped onto a metal card. Only ever got to see one of them after years working at a casino where we collected SSNs for jackpot payouts.

usually just say whatever purpose is relevant to the context. if I need to be hyper-specific for some reason I’ll just say the drug’s name and maybe list off what I’m using it for. like “im taking seroquel as a sleep aid” if im talking to a medical professional since they would probably ask for the brand anyway in case of something like a recall, and would likely want to know i’m not taking it as an antipsychotic.

i refer to them by their purpose. antihistamine, analgesic, laxative, etc.

Yeah I don’t disagree, cans would be better than bottles. I just wanted to point out that plastic is ubiquitous and shows up in a lot of places you don’t expect. It’s extremely difficult to completely eliminate it. I’m not arguing that progress toward that goal is pointless, just that the goalpost is a lot further away than you might expect.

Yeah I made the comment before seeing all those. Which is why I deleted it shortly after posting it. Is it still showing up?

this guy will do anything but write the third book. did he train under GRRM

Wizard of Oz is an isekai

Are you Israeli? I ask because you only took the parts of my comment you wanted then got mad at me about it. Or maybe all Israelis are “overly sensitive”

It might offend some overly sensitive Israelis or Zionists but they are not representatives for all Jews.
