This is incredibly offensive; even with good trigger discipline (which is unclear at best from this image), don’t rest your gun’s barrel so close or even pointing at your leg.
Looks like his finger’s off the trigger, plus it’s Jason Todd so that suit is about 90% spare ammunition by mass, decent odds the gun’s not even loaded yet.
Second, given when this add is from, it is likely that the milk consumed by many who read this ad was close to or equivalent to the best “artisan farmer” organic milk you can find today, and the 7-Up was likely still using pure cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.
Not wholesome, but also not the toxic sludge it would be today.
The swill milk scandal was a major adulterated food scandal in the state of New York in the 1850s. The New York Times reported an estimate that in one year 8,000 infants died from swill milk.
Apparently this story preceded some asshole politician blocking regulation despite public outcry and working super hard to make sure nothing changes, successfully for the most part.
Tuomey assumed a central role in the ensuing investigations, and, with fellow Aldermen E. Harrison Reed and William Tucker, shielded the dairies and turned the hearings into one-sided exercises designed to make dairy critics and established health authorities look ridiculous, even going to the extent of arguing that swill milk was actually as good or better for children than regular milk.
I’m happy that their food ingredients were such high quality back then. Leads me to wonder how the heck they spiraled downward into eating hot dog jello.
Am x86 processor competitor but instead of implementing every single opcode it just has the common ones, and any unknown opcode it asks ChatGPT to write an equivalent C language implementation, JIT-compiles it and executes it.
I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.
Is that really what it is? Shit I thought… well now that I think on it I’m not sure what I thought but not that. Some place with a pool and various physical activities.
Yeah, it’s just a song about young men hanging out with all the boys and having fun doing whatever they feel.
So you can interpret it to not be gay if you want… it is open ended when it says “do whatever you feel” so if you don’t feel like having gay sex then you can substitute whatever you want in there instead of gay sex. So it’s technically not about having gay sex at the YMCA. Technically.
Bottom line is if you think the song is catchy and like doing the fun dance routine, you don’t have to feel like it makes you gay if you do the dance. Just do whatever you feel, it’s fun!
We had a project once called Asset Analytics which the steering team decided to shorten to AssAnal. It lasted a couple of months until it was changed to metrics
Tbf, we sort of inheretted him from a neighbor with that name. Not that he knew his name. Still got butchered, but he lived to be pretty old for a goat, way older than most meat goats would live. He played, climbed shit, fucked, all the good stuff.
There are many reasons these may be pacakaged this way: from lowering the possibility of accidentally taking the wrong pill to anti-theft.
It would be cheaper for the manufacturer to just put them all in a bottle, so rest assured they wouldn’t do this if the benefits didn’t outweigh the costs.
Remember, people in the US often have to pay a shitload for medication.
But even outside of the US, there’s still the issue of people wanting to steal prescription medicine if you can get high on it/sell it to people who want to get high from it.
blistering machines used in the pharmaceutical industry usually work with some standard sizes, hence the size of the blister. change parts also cost a small fortune, so it makes no sense to have them tailored for just one product if it works well enough with existing equipment. thay being said, a couple of things below in reply to the whole thread, not just yourself.
to add to the list of reasons one would want them individually packaged, it’s easier to dispense a set amount of pills in this manner, for medicine that needs to be tailored for each user more often (think if you need 5 capsules, you’d get a blister that is weirdly cut by the pharmacist with a pair of scissors - cutting the blister also removes important information like lot number and expiry date). also, it could have some stability issues outside of the blister, so dispensing them naked in bottles might not be the best thing.
for antibiotics and such, it’s also crucial to take each and every dose prescribed so dropping one in the sink accidentally when you’re shaking a bottle is something you’re trying to prevent. the size of the blister would also make it harder to lose around the house or one’s backpack/bag/purse/saddlebags/bag of holding and then not taking your last dose (in addition to the change parts thing mentioned at the start).
individually wrapped bananas are a waste. for critical things like pharmaceuticals, there is more likely than not a good reason for this. look up pharmacovigilance if curious to know more.
Here’s the comment I was looking for! I was going to suggest this might be the issue. (total guess), but it made sense when I saw its the standard size of other blister packs you get.
I also heard that the reason heinz tins dont stack well whilst other brands do is because of how expensive it would be to replace the machines (or parts of the machines) that make the can lids and bases.
So it was a fair assumption that it’s basically the same problem here.
Especially when you consider that it’s probably very few people that need just 1 of a certain pill. Thisnis likely a supply issue with this medication in the multi blister packs, so they gave 20 singles.
There’s been a shift away from putting pills in bottles.
IIRC it was pioneered by the NHS (UK), because they found that the mild inconvenience and time of popping out the pills one by one, in comparison to the ease and speed of downing a whole bottle of them, cut down on people attempting suicide by overdose by a surprising amount.
That’s how governments work. Not a single penny spent on making life more worth living, but methods of making suicide somewhat less convenient hits industrial scale production.
Adding that certain markets won’t accept bottles, you must use a blister.
Why is it one per card, bit of a head scratcher, but given the logistics and distribution costs of shipping this format, agree they wouldn’t do this for fun.
