2·9 months agoI’ve a list of all the drugs I know from commercials - started writing a song about them all, just need to get the bridges done between verses.

2·9 months agoEver listen to the voice over in the commercials for <insert name of drug you don’t need>?
After telling you how much better the drug is than the competitor, but before imploring you to “ask your doctor if <$1> is right for you”, they list the side effects, which often include a worsening of the condition it treats as well as death, all while a bunch of actors get paid to show you what the best scenario looks like.
It’s the same thing, but for illiterate hypochondriacs.
I use AntennaPod on my phone - highly recommended.


So reading the commentary in the first link, if you flash your printer with new GPL firmware that bypasses these restrictions, you’re now in violation.
And what if I move (back) to WA with my printer purchased out of state that I’ve already modded?
I see what they’re trying to do, make ghost gun production illegal, but turning makers into criminals for flashing their printers with new firmware seems the wrong way.
