They most likely track your IMEI and other such fun stuff, just so you’re aware.

I don’t smoke only eat it.
Why would that make a difference? CHS is caused by cannabis use, not specifically cannabis smoking, no?
- Comment on If refusing to see your dying parent "wrong"? 6 days ago:
What is this situation?
If your reasoning is that you “want to remember them in their healthy days”, you will regret not seeing them. Spend as much time with the people you love, as that time won’t come back.
But if your reasoning is that you simply don’t care about them, whatever… but it’s pretty cold, as I assume they’d get happiness from you visiting?
And they’re apparently non-abusive, and yet you want to celebrate their death? I personally want my funeral to be like those African parties instead of depressing shit, but I assume this isn’t what you mean…
- Comment on Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds 1 week ago:
Imagine if America switched to using safer prescription methods… like having everything in blister boxes, just like you see with lots of OTC medicine. Just grab the box, print out the prescription sticker, and you’re done. No mistakes, reduced overdose risks, much more traceability, easier stock methods…
Though I can see the appeal in scrambling around, putting loose pills into those funky orange bottles.

I think they forgot to mention the huge tomato farm they have in their basement. Tons of lights and special ventilation setup. Tastes much better than what you can get at the grocery store of course.

Isn’t it just a small stipend? Nothing you could live on, even if houses were burning down 40 hours a week.

Even if you remove those places from the “Express List”? But yeah, that sounds typical, they like getting the transaction fees and such. And should you get them to do a chargeback, they take the money back from the merchant as well. It’s a win-win to screw you over.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 1 month ago:
Exactly. The Swedish government or something did some study recently to determine if we’d be able to be self-sufficient under a longer time if we needed to be, as we currently have a lot of food imports. The conclusion was “yes, but there won’t be as much food diversity”.
However, they completely ignored the fact that we only have a ~90 days strategic reserve of oil, and that basically all the machining used for farming runs on diesel. And there’s currently no goals to change that.
If we can’t import or refine diesel anymore, we will starve.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper for them to put up signs saying the water is non-potable?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 month ago:
A reasonable person would have forked the repo and maintained the project themselves, or used something else. I’m also deathly allergic to LLM code, but I don’t come into someone else’s free project and tell them how they should live their life.
But I agree that it was bad style to remove the co-author attribute. He should have just said “yeah, I slop, so what?”

Hey grandpa, what does that “push button & turn” thingy do? Handbrake?

It can be, if you’re driving a non-ICE car and plan your driving. But still usually not worth it.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 3 months ago:
Why would that matter? It just looks like HTTPS traffic if you set it up right. And even if they fingerprint it as Plex, they can’t see what exactly is playing. Yes, my Plex library only has public domain content of course.

Is illicit Adderall in the US “real”? Or are they usually pressed fakes?
I never understood why speed is/was so uncommon when I was in the US a long time ago. I was offered basically everything there, but never normal speed (without methamphetamine in it) like in Europe.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 3 months ago:
Stimulants like Adderall and Xanax are often misused to cope with academic and social pressures.
I never knew benzodiazepines were stimulants.
- Comment on Noooooo 3 months ago:
The thing is, people usually suck at explaining themselves… so instead of a <5 minute telephone interrogation, it’s suddenly a 15+ minute back-and-forth chat. But yes, I’d much rather answer a quick well-detailed text question.

- Comment on The way my fuck-ass pharmacist makes up the remaining pills in my bastarding prescription 4 months ago:
There are bottles as well, but it’s not as common. And they’re factory-produced bottles – not like those orange ones in the US. So it’s basically the same safety as blisters, other than its easier to spill.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think most of the groundwork for this situation is from EU Directive 2001/83/EC. Medical products need to have a lot of information provided, and it just gets simpler to have boxes with blisters to meet all the requirements, and gives safety at the same time.
I can’t imagine how hectic it must be for pharmacy techs in the US. Despite requiring 5 years of school to be a pharmacist here, the job is basically being a glorified cashier… Unless the person has any questions, you simply check their ID, check in the national registry that enough time has passed since their last collection (particularly if it’s a controlled substance), collect a package from the shelf, print out a label to put on the box (containing their name, doctor, dosage, instructions), scan the label and package, collect payment, and that’s it.
- Comment on The way my fuck-ass pharmacist makes up the remaining pills in my bastarding prescription 4 months ago:
Tbh, a pharmacist shouldn’t really do anything with the actual medication other than dispensing it correctly. In Sweden, every package is individual; the pharmacist should never be opening them nor touching the blisters in normal cases. It significantly reduces risks for the patient and ensures traceability.
It is a bit less efficient though, as pharmacies need to stock up different qualities of the same dosages: Stilnoct(zolpidem) 10mg for example has two different packages: 14 tablets, or 28 tablets. If you have a prescription for 28 tablets, you can’t buy two 14-tablet packages. And if you were to have a 14 prescription, you can’t buy the 28 and ask the pharmacist to throw away the other blister. But I think it’s a worthy tradeoff to eliminate the majority of human mistakes.

I assume this is the US? Is it really cheaper for the company to import chicken wings and some cheese, or why’s it not domestically sourced? I don’t get it.
