@Vann@glitch.social who's asking?

Me: "I can't figure out why this printer isn't showing up..."

Dave: "Oh yeah, I unplugged it"

Me: "Goddamnit Dave"

With all the deleteFacebook stuff happening at the moment, is there a decent facebook alternative I can point people to in the same way that masto is a good twitter alternative

@squirrel yay electronic parts!

boo shipping times!

@noelle considering that Facebook management were having a meeting with CA while it was airing I'm expecting some shit to be slung in their direction as well

@squirrel is he wearing a balaclava by any chance?

The Fifth Element, it's a desktop weather station

MB&F stuff is always fun

@squirrel *hugs*

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social oh god yeah, that and speaking of alcohol, the US uses the wrong pints

A UK pint is 568ml, a US pint is smaller at 473ml

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social in the UK anything sold in bottles/cans/whatev have "units" listed on the bottle

A unit is 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, makes things far easier

Things that confuse me about the US medical system #32147:

Brand names for all medication

Especially when there are multiple brand names

Let's take a simple over the counter medication as an example: Addaprin, Advil, Bufen, Caldolor, Cap-Profen, EmuProfen, Genpril, Haltran, I-Prin, Ibuprohm, Ibu-Tab, Midol, Motrin, Nuprin, Proprinal, and Q-Profen

IT'S JUST IBUPROFEN DAMNIT, YOU DON'T NEED THAT MANY NAMES FOR IT
