Nope, it's cetirizine, the other one you mentioned doesn't work, and Benadryl makes me sleepy. Looking at the bottle, it doesn't even list rashes or anything - just seasonal allergies lol

Or he could do what most of the county wants, and give us meaningful change. That's what has been drawing voters since Obama, that's why Trump won in the first place - Hillary is the status quo incarnate

But we've been strung along for way too long, he needs to take a stand and make some enemies

I have allergy meds on me at all times, because sometimes I break out in hives for no reason.

One day, I'm sneezing like crazy from seasonal allergies, and my coworker asked if I tried any medicine. I suddenly realized allergy medicine works for allergies

Yes. Every vagina is different, and some are both less textured and larger. Usually the texture makes it not much of a big deal, and other factors matter more

One girl where it stood out to me (my first time actually). She was also very very wet, and the three aspects together made for a much less stimulating experience. It was incredibly soft and smooth, but it was almost like a silk pillow... I'd push in at an angle and it would feel great, but then just give and slide me back into a loose grip

I think kegles could easily overcome that though... There's a lot of muscles there that can make a lot of difference. Not only does it feel better, if you develop those muscles they can twitch involuntarily when the right buttons are pushed (which is a huge turn on), and the occasional squeeze is another layer to interact on

John Oliver even did a thing on this, people don't care about "metadata", but ask them if they should be able to see your dick pics and people care a lot more

Well, apparently they're seeing your dick pics

Madison, a former employee, basically described a terrible working environment. She was bait and switched on several aspects of the role, and only found out after giving up her US visa and moving to Canada. She was constantly berated, sexually harassed in many ways, made to manage an only-fans despite making her discomfort known, the expectations of releases were unreasonable and her coworkers sabotaged her by knowingly setting her up to release videos with incorrect facts. Taking any of this to HR, or even Linus himself, ended with her being laughed off or told to stop being a tattle tale

All this is alleged and there's a lot more, but the kicker to me is the fact she cut her leg bad enough to need staples, because going to the ER was the only way she felt she could get badly needed time off.

That's what seals it for me - either she's a borderline nightmare, or the working situation is far beyond the pale. Add in the fact the pressure to release, inaccuracies, and public glimpses of Linus's attitude, and I'm inclined to believe it's more true than false

Is it really whack a mole if within minutes of federating, a simple automated tool could add them to the list with no human involvement?

I wouldn't say so, at that point it's a trivial technical challenge

The big deal is they didn't admit to having accidentally auctioned it (the alternative is they knowingly did so despite requests to return it), and in the same breath talked about how they offered recompense (implying that it came before the video calling them out when it didn't), and firing back on justified criticism as if they're the victim

Oh, and all while claiming they own up to their mistakes even in the face of consequences.

They bulldozed a smaller company without a hint of empathy. He doesn't consider that maybe the price could have come down or the performance (when properly used) would be worth it to a small segment of overclockers - even in the supposed mia culpa Linus takes several shots at the product he basically buried

Why? It's easy to get a list of federated servers, in JSON no less. In an afternoon I could build a tool to block them as they come, testing included

Is it though? That amount of money is meaningless to a company, which Linus loves to talk about these days.

The problem is, he shit all over a startup company, failed to return the prototype after multiple requests, then when called out on it offered to pay for it and phrased his response to make it seem like he hadn't spent months ghosting them until another YouTuber brought attention to the issue.

Shitting on it - fine, he's extremely harsh every time it's brought up, but he can have his own opinion. I think it's a bad take, he doesn't even entertain the idea that they might lower the price, improve it to work on multiple models, or maybe this fits a high end niche for PC ricing - it sounds impractical now, but maybe a few sales would be enough for them to make a more practical version

But whatever, I can get over that. The fact that he didn't say "we had some miscommunication in my team, this is our bad, we're having growing pains and I never would have sold it if I knew they wanted it back. We reached out to them to make them whole, but we'll do better" is pretty incriminating.

That's not owning up to their mistakes - either they knowingly ignored requests to give it back, which is fucked up, or someone made a mistake and he made excuses instead of owning up to it, and tried to quietly bury the problem and fire back on the guy who called them out

You have a point, but it's kind of like people who resist all gun control due to the second amendment despite the shootings going on

Yeah, if life continues on as-is, the argument has little merit. On the other hand, in the case of the second amendment, we have fascists making a credible move for control.

In the case of archiving DRM content, if we have a cataclysm (which seems increasingly likely), then having drm-free, ideally unencrypted, content sitting on random hard drives might end up making an enormous difference in a lot of lives

Or even without a cataclysm, just general enshittification might end up destroying the gaming and media industries - passed around old games might be the seed for the next generation of tech-heads. I started my path by jailbreaking my PSP so I could use custom web browsers and homebrew - spreading these after the Internet is locked down by efforts like kosa and WEI (and whatever comes next) might be the spark that motivates the next generation

To your point, they published a method that could be replicated in less than a week in basically any college or lab in the country.

Fraud makes little sense here - this screams exuberance to me
