No, no, I'm pretty sure that's just some odd sort of language drift at worst. Everyone is fastidiously calling whatever it is that's supposed to be an elk an elk. The definition of elk, even, is now, "Whatever it is that's supposed to be called an elk." It's a delightful example of efficient variable linguistic recursion. _{which may or may not be more evil than you. It's hard to tell with evlr.}

I... seem to recall it had gone bad before 2010? Think I remember starting to have to excise it somewhere in the mid to late '00s, anyway. Depends on what you call many years for an AV program, I guess, heh.

Quick wiki check suggests it may have been more in the 2012-ish range, though. Somewhere around the point toolbar shenanigans started happening. Why, though, I can't see easy explanation with the (very little) amount of looking I'm willing to do. Can only imagine it went the way of the ad and the owners were seduced by the sweet lure of dosh.

No rage thread, but this works. Just had to go over to fix my mother's computer because some chucklefuck decided to remove Malwarebytes and install AVG and she didn't notice for six months where that bloatware dogshit was on her system.

... the wording there makes me ask. Did it take her six months to notice AVG was there, or did she spend six months repeatedly missing where the program's files/means of uninstallation were? Because that reads like she spent six months failing to find out what folder AVG had been put in.

I never know how intentional it is.

Reading thing. Bottom of page, ad.

"MADE with LOVE"
"BAKED WITH BOB'S"

Graphic bits are mostly just a pair of largely normally attired women that appear to be wrapping their hands around something. Can't actually see what, but that's roughly the gesture.

For those that don't realize quite what's going on there, BOB can be an acronym for Battery Operated Boyfriend, i.e. a vibrator. And, like.

Did they not realize when they chose the name of whatever they are what that would look like? Or did they, and went with it anyway? Was this naivety, or did someone actually want to make an advertisement with the unstated subtext of "We baked this with oscillating fake dicks."

Why do people keep doing this. I don't want to contemplate silicon schlong in a pie this early in the morning. It's almost noon, but it's still too early for this shit.

Why is there no outrage over it costing 13.50 in the first place? The pill costs 40 cents in the Netherlands. It's almost as if your health department / insurance negotiator / whomever it is that sets healthcare prices really hates people with hiv.

Mostly 'cause 13.50 is frankly kinda' cheap for prescriptions stateside. Insurance can bring it down lower so far as the direct consumer's cost goes, but stuff that that has a base price under 10-20 per whatever the standard bit is isn't terribly common.

Do remember, mart, that the US healthcare system is fucked up, particularly price wise. Whatever you view as sanity in your netherlands, eject it from your nethers before you attempt to apply it to the US. Its place here is as the dreaming promises of the underside of a nickel whore's skirt, the reality of which is a thing not of splendor.

Whatever branch of MPC I'm using (BE seems to be the one that's working best, of what I just dug out of the internet) lets you just stick the video URL in it and let 'er rip.

... only over a hundred? I think I may actually be over three hundred between opera, firefox, and opera on the tablet, right now. It's more up there than it's generally trended towards in the past, anyway.

Amusingly enough, while I think I've gotten mildly better about the tabs I have open in one browser, I'm also now generally flipping between three different ones, so the net effect...

Lelwut frumple, Elk live primarily in the northern parts of the US, you'd find them in Yellowstone for example. Ditto Alaska and the whole of Canada.

You'll note that, while I have been from east to west coast and back in this country, I've never personally been further north than north carolina -- I got family all the way up (NY), but if there's elk around the areas they're in I rather imagine the elk apocalypse descending on NYC would have hit the news by now. Misk would have at least mentioned the regular elk dodging, at least. Critters might as well not exist for all they've interacted with basically anything I have. Elk are like wyoming. No one's where they are to tell you they exist.

You may also be interested in a population map of the country, so that you may compare the rest of it to what isn't in the northern wilderness-y bits
