If you still have a local non-chain pharmacy use them until they go out of business. They will eventually because the chains have a stranglehold on pricing and are actively raising costs for independents, then offering to buy the business as it founders.

Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus drugs is my refuge from pharmacies. It’s cheaper than the chains even if you have insurance, but I can’t be my Adderall through them.

Swimming nude is far superior. Nude sunbathing feels great.

Level 7 susceptible in real life.

No it isn’t.

Nimrod was a great hunter in the Bible. Bugs was being sarcastic and did the man dirty for generations to come.

Absolute truth. I haven’t run into a single game that doesn’t run on my second-from-top-of-the-line gaming PC I built last year under Linux. I know they exist because I see articles about a developer removing Proton support for odd reasons, but it hasn’t impacted me yet.

MS has largely made their own OS irrelevant by putting the Office Suite in the cloud. If you need Excel but don’t want Copilot throwing all your screengrabs to Redmond a box running Ubuntu or Mint or Bazzite or MacOS (a legit option for some people with niche applications that cater to the Apple crowd). MS is following the same playbook with the Xbox brand. If everything is an Xbox then why would you harness yourself to a crappy MS branded one?

Apple’s making it easy these days. Mac Minis are cheap and more than enough computer for 95% of people’s tasks, while also using sipping watts. I’m on a M4 Mac Mini and it’s using 3.91 watts right now. I’ve run it at full tilt for extended periods of time and I barely heard the fan. It even runs BG3 somehow.

That said, the power button being on the bottom is dumb but not a real issue. MacOS’s assumption that you’re going to be using a trackpad is annoying for those of us with nice mice. Actually, MacOS is just annoying in a lot of ways. I get that the bumpers are there to keep people from causing long lines at Genius Bars, but I wish there were just a single button that I could hit that tell the machine I know my way around a *nix and don’t need to be babied at every turn.

Who said anything about a kitchen?

IT BAFFLES ME THAT HE FUCKED A GREMLIN AT THE END OF GREMLINS 2.

It baffles me that he fucked a gremlin at the end of Gremlins 2.

Looks like the old school iPad dock connection.

That shit’s been going on for way longer than South Park has existed.

We should never stop holding leaders responsible for their actions.

Are they going to try making them good vehicles for a change?

Lots of people share blame but Obama did not fight for it at all, which amounts to appeasement. There should have been a Supreme Court case about it.

Obama not fighting for his Supreme Court appointment is a lot more than indirectly responsible for all of this. He abdicated his duty to execute the office and fucked us all in doing so.

He’s going for his WWEGOT.

When I sell my 5 year old flagship phone I’ll get $30 more easily if I have the box and the stuff that came in it. People see that and subconsciously think “this person has their shit together. buying their used phone isn’t a risk.”

Same goes for other stuff, too. I recently sold a synthesizer for $150 over the market rate because I had the box, manual (even though it was out of date due to firmware updates) and the stickers that came with it.

I like semi up-to-the-minute tech, so keeping things in good shape and giving someone the unboxing experience keeps my costs down at the cost of a little space in my closet.

Lost my v card at 15, drank and smoked weed in high school. My friends were partying too, and I went to an elite prep school. Kids got kicked out of school for doing opiates, someone dropped a bottle of MDMA pills in the girls’ bathroom and one of the teacher’s kids got his GF pregnant. There was a couch in the library that there was effectively a public challenge to fuck on. Don’t even get me started on the shit that went down in the drama department. Theater/band kids FUCK.

Kids do these things, especially the kids with money and little accountability.

If the brushes are expected to last longer than another part whose failure makes the unit a total loss then what do they care?

But yeah that’s going to be noisy both in terms of audible noise and electrical. We have much better options these days and they aren’t even that expensive.
