No OP, but I’m thinking they mean a pharmacy that is not owned by a chain like Walgreens or CVS. Locally own pharmacies are usually owned by one person or a family and they specialize in compounding medications. That’s when they make medications for specific customers that have unique needs, which interestingly, includes pets 🐶🐱. Try searching for a “compounding pharmacy” near you or ask a veterinarian clinic if they know of one. I’m sure they’ll be happy to answer that iver the phone even if you’re not a current customer.

because you found it funny

rabbit starvation

FYI: For those that have never heard of the term:

Protein poisoning (also referred to colloquially as rabbit starvation, mal de caribou, or fat starvation) is an acute form of malnutrition caused by a diet deficient in fat and carbohydrates, where almost all bioavailable calories come from the protein in lean meat

if you’re like me you’d probably want to break your keyboard in half and shove it down your throat until you can’t see it anymore

Are you okay?

Edit: It’s fine if the answer is “no”.

I don’t know how to on desktop, but on the Voyager app, I can block posts that include whatever words I want. My experience on here has noticeably improved since blocking certain words, like Musk, Trump, and Israel.

I tried installing Arch once about 10 years ago. I couldn’t get it to work even though I admittedly didn’t try my hardest. I was in a PhD program at the time, so my mental resources and time were quite limited. Still, I had real experience as a sysadmin, so I wasn’t entirely computer illiterate. Every time I see a potential user switching to Linux asking for distro recommendations and others suggests Arch, I internally roll my eyes. Unless that user is a computer programmer or similar looking to prove their skills to themselves, that is a great way to get someone to never switch to Linux because they will more than likely become overwhelmed with the installation.

If you are switching to Linux for the first time and don’t want to spend a frustrating week reading a wiki and troubleshooting lots of minute but consequential issues, don’t start with Arch! Linux Mint is by far the easiest for new users. Give it a run for a while until you feel like switching to more demanding distros.

I love that you didn’t realize the community you were in

1. It obscures your IP so that sites don’t know who you are by that, but really, they can just fingerprint your browser if you’re not addressing that too.

2. You can present your location to a site as being from any where the VPN has a server. Say you want to watch something that is only available to users in Canada, but you live in Mexico. You can use the VPN to present yourself to the site as being in Canada and watch it. Unfortunately, some sites are blocking content from being accessed by known VPN IP addresses. I think Netflix is one. Frustrating to me, lemmy.world doesn’t let anyone post or comment while using a VPN, though I understand that it’s for valid security and admin purposes, such as to reduce CASM material.

3. More importantly, it encrypts your data between you and the VPN. That means that no one between you two knows what the info you’re transmitting means. This includes your ISP that likely collects/sells your data or could report it to authorities. Additionally, it protects you from people that can join your wifi and steal your data that way, say at a public wifi like a coffee shop.

Personally, I use a VPN as much as possible, especially when I’m connected to any wifi outside of my home. In fact, I will absolutely not access security-sensitive sites (e.g. bank accounts, credit cards, etc.) on public wifi without using my VPN.

If I remember correctly, NordVPN keeps logs So, if a govt ever subpoenas their data, users can have their privacy violated.

exactly. compared to a toolbar which would only be one click that is right on the screen.

And the Android version doesn’t even have a bookmarks toolbar. You have to go through the menu -> bookmarks -> bookmarks toolbar -> search for the bookmark

That one looks cool! GPS receiver makes it interesting compared to the pine time.

do you think he has special shoes or put metal plates in his shoes? I just can’t imagine that he’s capable of getting on his tippy toes like that without bending the shoe at all.

Yeah, I threw it out. I’m gonna order a full stainless steel one.

I already have cast iron pots and pans, but you make a good point. I’m going stainless steel!

you’re welcome!

This won’t work because the bad faith actor will activate their victim complexity to derive sympathy from the masses. The only way to beat a bad faith actor is to have actual power over what they value most.

yeah, that’s what I’ve gathered. I’m hoping to find some drills that would be helpful at developing those skills.

nope. inappropriate.

yeah, i need to. good call 👍
