Well it depends. Medical grade vitamin D is usually a stronger dose and you dont take 8t every day...

The stuff my doctor told me to take is over the counter but not prescription, so not that powerful. Definitely said daily, though.

Dont know about other countries, but the "not sufficiently regulated" "Suppliments Market" in the US has some dangerous stuff on it.

You can easily get 5000IU (OR MORE!!) capsules of D3 and such.

(in addition to herbals concoctions that are downright dangerous)

Our supplements are more tightly regulated, as far as I know. That is, they're regulated. I'm sure it's possible to buy stupid stuff if you want to, but it's less pervasive.

If I'm understanding it right, where I live, you have "supplements", and then you have "traditional medicine supplements". Guess where most of the bullshit lies.

The soundboard we use for streaming audio at church is... way too powerful.  We have been struggling with consistency from week to week, depending on the (volunteer) sound tech running the thing.

Today we discovered that there is some additional level of settings that affect sound quality which was not obvious.

The board has the concept of users which are selected by a login (which may or may not be password protected; not a huge deal as you have to have a physical key to the sound booth in the first place, or are the kind of person who picks locks inside a church).

The board also has the ability to save "scenes".  We have established a process where we use scenes to save the fader settings for various songs, typically set during practice during the week and then recalled Sunday mornings for the livestream.

Apparently there are additional settings which are not saved per-scene, but are instead saved with the login.  So if you save a scene under one login, it may not sound the same under a different login.  Short story is - too many degrees of freedom, some of which are "hidden".

Not the end of the world, but some weeks sound really good and others sound... meh.  Mostly we just don't want people to be distracted during worship either by tech glitches.  The joys of streaming things live!

So you get your vitamin D "over the counter"?

That made me actually snort with laughter. I may be old as shit but at least my sense of humour is still reassuringly juvenile.   
Heck, I'm still chuckling.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Ha ha ha. Absolutely hilarious. So original that I could pre-emptively complain about it in my original post.

I nearly didn't share that post because I really didn't feel like dealing with the dick jokes, but then I decided that I've been keeping too much canned up and should actually vent occasionally. Mistake, I guess.
