Excuse me, but it’s pronounced GIF

I’ve found Grayjay helps me hate YouTube less

I don’t know why you were downvoted because those are pure facts

(i assume you wish for Whitaker to be fornicated, not the OP)

Oh I ain’t dead, I’m just real depressed

If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.

It’s rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands

Wow, amazing they had $200,000 to leave in a bag for a juror

The two families own immense tracts of land

I felt ya. If it isn’t misspelling word it’s random capitalization in you’re post. Gboard used to just work. Now it mostly sucks

(For the record: *feel *words, *your)

Same. I have had particularly poor results on image searches from duckduckgo. It’s on par or superior to Google for general web searches, but man, Google image search is still better

Makes sense. Thank you. I’m aware of what is sometimes a vast gulf between what is right and what is legal. I’m glad to see the principle of battery and the law are aligned in this case

So I wondered what the charges were and the penalties for giving OTC medication to minors without parental consent. It appears that the FDA considers melatonin a food supplement, not a drug. (Disclaimer, this is from 5 minutes searching online, I have no real knowledge beyond that). After reading the article, and lacking any other information, it seems like the investigation was spurred by the melatonin dosing, but the illegal part was operating an unlicensed daycare with more than 3 children in a private home. (Again, I’m very uninformed and guessing/extrapolating)

I’m actually not sure if it’s illegal to give melatonin to minors without guardian consent. Unethical certainly, but if it’s not a controlled substance or medication regulated by the FDA like OTC meds, is it illegal? There a some state laws prohibiting some supplements being given to minors. For example, NY has outlawed sales of dietary supplements to minors. If the supplement can be proved to harm a child, that’s clearly illegal. It looks like there’s not enough research to prove that’s the case with melatonin though.

If anyone has a better understanding of these things, I’d love to hear it. I’m really curious about this now

TBH I didn’t feel that strongly, but I could not resist channeling BLM

That analogy works for many things these days

My institutional memories prevent me from buying Sony

When the PS4 came out and my old friends were clamoring over it i thought, “In 2003, we swore ‘never again’. In 2013, we broke that promise.”

But i NEVER DID

Dude I went straight back to J&R on Park Row and returned that thing. I had SD cards from my camera that I planned to use, and didn’t ask about storage at the store (mistakes of youth lol). I eventually got a Zen (30Gb!) a year or two later. What a tank!

And it wasn’t a proprietary storage card? They didn’t invent their own headphone jack that only works with Sony headphones? Amazing. It’s like a whole new company!

If you can’t tell, I’m still salty about aaaaaallllllllllllllllll the shit they pulled in the 90s/00s. Nothing like buying an mp3 player with money I should’ve been spending more responsibly and then learning I could only use Sony brand storage cards. Cards that cost twice as much for the same storage space. I bought my Xbox and dropped PlayStation solely because of those shenanigans.

If, in twenty years, HP makes the only computer that doesn’t give you literal AIDS I still won’t buy one. And i feel the same about Sony today

You make a fair point.

It just felt like a good place to drop a little social commentary from my favorite author

If you’re ever wondering “Should I reread the entire discworld series?” The answer is Yes
