Nobody uses dropbox because they like dropbox. They use it because it's usually the only such service supported by the stupid fucking app they need on the stupid fucking ipad their company insists they use which has no other viable way to put files on and off of the fucking cunting thing because apple is fucking stupid and so is this god damn company.

Someone once told the IT manager that apple devices are "the most secure" and he doesn't even fucking realise that by forcing us to use fucking stupid third party fucking services like fucking dropbox to get files on and off that they are subjecting confidential commercial fucking information to being fucking exposed to third fucking party boneless fucking cunts.

They probably should question them. Even something as seemingly benign as Paracetamol is not without its issues if used too often, or after alcohol. It can do serious harm. Most medicine can.

Another fun medicine fact. Australia banned the sale of pseudoephedrine from store shelves quite some years ago to try and reduce domestic amphetamine production. Ever since, all of the major pharma brands have sold phenylephrine based cold and flu medicine as a replacement. Our Therapeutic Goods Administration recently found that this preparation is no better than placebo. We're talking about a billion dollar industry that has been knowingly selling snake oil for ten years.

I guess what I'm saying is a healthy dose of skepticism and knowledge seeking should be applied to anything you are putting in your body or exchanging money for. The pharmaceutical industry are not saints. They're just as driven by profit incentives as every other business.

I was at an xmas party one year where the workshop boys did this with an upturned 44 gallon drum. It was the loudest bang I've ever heard. I thought we were under some sort of attack.

They expected the drum to launch a little but what actually ended up happening was the upturned metal bottom blew off and launched a LOT punching a hole in the workshop roof. It's a miracle that nobody was hurt (their hearing probably was). Somehow they didn't get fired.

It's not just common, it's the entire basis of the platform.

Every dumb fucking talking point they want their users to regurgitate in the real world goes to the moon. Speak the truth and be silenced.

It's a nightmare platform.

Why has a Hollywood celeb gotta be out there raping? Why? I just don't understand.

I'm not interested in any vehicle that requires an app or has its own connection to the internet.

If you're so smart, how do you turn the light switch off after you get in bed without firing a shot?

I'm so tired of everything becoming an ongoing subscription. In the end the most powerful vote we all have is our wallets.

It's a pretty easy thing to just immediately stop buying from companies that pull this shit.

We use the same licensed VHF network at work for the last 30 years. Ever since our local cops switched to 'digital', 'encrypted' radio comms, we regularly pick them up on our VHFs across the entire district, regardless of what frequency we are on.

It's like their whole thing is leaking across the bands, which should not be possible given that it's encrypted but here we are. If it were anyone else, we'd be pursuing them for abusing the frequency band that we pay for but it doesn't feel like a battle that we want to start.

I've tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.

After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.

Wait until you hear about library genesis.

I had a day off with the flu so I was shit posting all day. At no point did I see goatse so I think we're ok for now.

Hopefully our captain's have patched it already.

Evening, all.

Looking for recommendations for any Android games that you enjoy which can be played completely offline without a data connection of any sort.

These used to be super common once upon a time, but these days it seems every single game I try just doesn't function if you are totally out of service area.

Would appreciate any tips! Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Some great suggestions in here! That will keep them busy a while. Thanks so much everyone.
