I think they mean microblogging as a format

Can you give some more examples? I’m interested

I mean, aren’t they? In a moral, ethical, and social stance, don’t they share in the blame?

Well, we’d say 4 o clock… But that’s English too. Have considered how the rest of Europe says it?

16 hours is the “official”/military way to say it

I like baszite. I’m not in love with it, but it does most things I want it to do right out of the box, and it comes with steam installed which is convenient

It would also have penalties for breaking the contract which could be very high, plus if you tank a major production without good reason your career is probably over

Okay, let’s say you have a fuel injected car, but instead of using the 02 sensor to decide the fuel air mixture, it just squirts the same amount of gas every time.

The hardware might be able to achieve 400 hp, but the software means it only ever achieves 50 hp

It’s like that. The software drives the hardware. It doesn’t matter how good the hardware is, the software is the brain of the operation - if the software doesn’t know how to utilize the hardware properly, you’re going to have piss poor performance

Driver’s? They literally drive the hardware your computer is using

Sure, but the R&D is largely subsidized because it’s a common good. Pharmaceutical companies generally take over when it’s already a pretty safe bet… It could fall through during clinical trials, but they don’t pay for the massive R&D they did traditionally. Sometimes they even just buy the patent

There’s overhead, but the vast majority is just profiteering

I mean, hopefully to bring perspective, the water wars are happening now. People are fighting corporations who are draining the aquifers for alphalpha and such to send abroad, there are faucets running dry and everything

It’s not going to be mad Max… These problems still exist and are on track, but they way they present themselves is as a slow burning down of the infrastructure that our country is built upon

The people will remain. There will be hard times, we will have to come together to solve problems. We might have to relocate as areas become untenable

There will be unrest and disorder, but not mass murder. We just don’t have it in us without years of indoctrination and drug use

Ah. Laws vary by state, mixing and matching manufacturers is illegal in my state, the manufacturer must be on the bottle along with a description. I’m less certain about the expiration date thing, but I believe here they require them all to come back to the same batch in case there’s an issue (including improper storage of the bottle or something)

I’ve been told this is how it works by a pharmacist when they were having trouble filling my rx, and we were talking about controlled substances in particular

What do you do with expired meds, does the pharmacy eat the loss?

Do you mix and match pills with different expiration dates to fill a prescription? From different manufacturers?

I’m genuinely asking. What I described is how things work here, and while our healthcare system is insane, this is one part that makes sense to me

I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying.

Yes, the companies need to sell the pills for a certain amount to make a profit, due to infrastructure and overhead. The R&D is a whole complicated thing, let’s just lump it in as overhead and put it aside

The pills themselves cost basically nothing to produce each, a batch will cost money but normally they’re consistently pumping out huge batches

So, most manufacturers have programs to retrieve pills. If you have 4 pills at the end of the roll, they can be reclaimed so patients can get a complete strip, because the pills themselves cost so little. They do the same if you end up with a small number of pills left in the big bottle, you can’t mix batches because of expiration dates and expiration. So you send them back, and they give the pharmacy a credit

The r&d costs come from government grants these days

Yes, a sterile lab is expensive, but like normal business expensive. It’s very achievable to build, drug cartels manage it just fine. Universities and YouTubers have no problem doing it with pretty modest funding

Yes, there’s overhead. But the pills themselves? The materials and production cost is cents. They themselves cost basically nothing

That’s why other countries can afford to sell them for cents - they really are that cheap to make

Let’s define hyper gravity first…I have no idea what that could even mean

Pills aren’t really precious resources… They cost like cents to make, aside from a few very expensive special ones

The expensive part is all markup

Booo

Try moving your vision, not your eye, to the bottom when it’s dark. You can learn to see in the dark pretty easily, and with practice you can focus and split your attention within your field of vision

And basically every election has flipped 20 points across the board. The time for progressives has arrived, I just hope we have the energy to carry us through it
