idk if you can do it with a video site, but I get around the "turn off your adblock" thing on news sites by turning off javascript for that specific website. get to Site Settings in chrome by clicking on the Secure lock between the URL box and back/refresh buttons

That's part of it. Another related part is to be more hands-on with the usual buyers of user data. In addition to selling data to advertisers, their business model is to cross-sell directly. They'll partner with Red Robin or whatever to give moviegoers a 10%!!!! off coupon to a restaurant/cafe/strip club as part of their movie night and make a commission on every conversion.

Predictive models didn't quite get the assumptions right, so they had to cut the loss per user by first limiting to one view per movie, cutting out popular AMC locations, and soon increasing their membership fees.

MoviePass has also been asking for a cut of the concession revenue from the chains, which is why AMC told them to gently caress off (and then started their own subscription service).

The most recent hilarious development before the whole running-out-of-money thing was introducing peak hour surcharges in some markets, so the schad is on anyone who just signed up for the thing and was then asked to pay an additional $5 for the 8:00 showing of Incredibles 2.

I use Ublocks element picker to further block their overlays and popup' that beg me to remove the popup blocker that disables most of their poo poo too. Also .js is loaded the very last so if you just hammer the stop button on a page load you can bypass most of those overlays too if you don't run a blocker.

I suppose this counts:

On the Ranger Danger podcast (which, as you might guess, covers Power Rangers), they were covering one of the worst episodes they've experienced, even for a show as low-budget and terrible as Power Rangers usually is. They don't handle it well when they discover how many more episodes from that writer they are going to have to sit through.

Sure, but I was just wondering how it sold so many (1000). I assumed it had to be a meme or what ever that every one loved. How many people even post in GIP?

It wasn't $1000. The $1000 figure was some dipshit that got probated for being dumb as hell.

For some one that spends lots of time on SA but never in GIP am I missing any context for that original design? Like I get the premise but is it some meme or some thing that is used a lot on there?

Looking for the image led me to find out that apparently amazon no longer sell pet antibiotics and there was something of a crackdown on selling them over the counter. I didnt look into it too closely, reading about US healthcare depresses the gently caress out of me.


Yeah, the law was changed so people cant get cheap pig and fish antibiotics easily anymore. It doesn't really do anything to stem the tide of drug resistant bacteria because Chinese farms are sill injecting their animals with "last resort" antibiotics rather than improving their animal husbandry. RIP planet earth.

Closed plastic slides/playground tubes are an enormous No-Go zone for implants because of static electricity, I remember that from when I was a kid. Did some poor kid get their implant fried? :(

No.

A kid got second degree burns from hot slide. That’s all. It was a plastic slide.

I have faith that some day cochlear implants will be slide‐safe.

There are ways of hardening electronic circuits against damage by static electricity. Static safety was overlooked or at least not a priority for the first generation, but improved devices will be developed.

Yeah, not sure how well that's working out, given that my roommate spent $10 on Chewy.com for Fish Amoxicillin last Monday, and it was delivered on Wednesday. Not advocating for this at all, given that Epidemiology is what I do for a living, and drug-resistant bacteria are a HUGE problem, just saying that the 'cheap antibiotics without seeing a doctor' are still just a click away, really.

All you really need to know posted:

Back in May, a high school in New Jersey got to the bottom of why human turds were showing up on its track "on a daily basis," discovering that—in a twist like something out of a weird, poop-themed Dan Brown novel—the alleged culprit was the superintendent of a neighboring school district. Now, almost three months later, the accused pooper is out of a job.

Back to the "why not import drugs?" point, the problem comes in with the fact that you're entrusting your health to an industry that becomes completely unregulated at that point. Its a complete poo poo-show trying to figure out which government (if any, based on their laws) would have jurisdiction to inspect/ensure standards for those drugs. Even if jurisdiction is established, foreign governments rarely have treaties/money/ability to go into other countries to check out pharmacy practices, and the local government puts a low priority on spending their limited budget to protect another country's citizens. This leads to situations like https://globalnews.ca/news/4143647/canada-drugs-fine-cancer-drugs/ where a "Canadian Pharmacy" was sold vials labeled as chemo drugs that were actually saline solution routed from a warehouse in Turkey that the Canadian group never actually even had in their possession. This is a rare case where legal action actually occurred, solely due to the close US-Canada relationship and the seriousness of the fraudulent meds (chemo).

TLDR; if you have any concerns about capitalist, for-profit health care, think about how that gets worse in the effectively unregulated international environment.
