Yeah, listed them on eBay if I recall. The also got a switch and a few other things.

Some friend in college in the 00s got a 4 foot high stack of 3com hubs for like 10 bucks each from the university surplus.

I’m running uBlock Origin and a pi Hole and I haven’t seen shit change for months. Not sure what voodoo I have going on judging by other experiences.

They have a repo named reeeeeeeeeee that only contains basically an empty README.md I don’t like to generalize but that speaks volumes.

A textbook example of what happens when you tear down things of which you don’t understand why they are there

The problem is their ability to gobble up new companies that could threaten them and use any innovative patients they may hold to either enrich themselves or stifle competition or both.

My wife is the same. She calls a few days before the script is up to see if they can fill it. If not then she calls around neighboring pharmacies to see if they have it available and if they do has to contact her med manager to get it transferred. It’s a huge PITA but she’s only missed a day or two thanks to keeping on top of it. It seems like the different chains and grocery stores are on different delivery schedules so someone usually has just gotten some in.
