  • There was a time when all you needed to call in a prescription in Denmark, was the doctors authorization number… Which was publicly available. Sure if you called in a prescription at a pharmacy across the country or sounded suspicious, the pharmacy would make a call back, but other than that all you had to do was pick a doctor in an area with lots of other doctors and near a large pharmacy, and you’d get whatever you liked.

    It must have been so for +10 years before a journalist and a doctor blew it up, by having the journalist phone in prescriptions for morphine, barbiturates, and other recreationally applicable substances. I don’t know if a doctor can still phone in prescriptions, but the immediate stop gap was to only accept prescriptions accompanied by the doctor’s personal, and crucially private, SSN.




  • As was mentioned last time this was posted, it’s a matter of being able to use gas masks properly. If the masks don’t form a seal with the skin the wearer is dead.

    When was the last time the US fought an enemy with a credible chemical stockpile? That’s why it hasn’t been important the last 30years. But Russia has shown to still possess chemical weapons and the will to use them. North Korea is known to have CW in their arsenal, and it would be naïve to assume that the PRC doesn’t.

    At the moment allies for WW3 are still blurry, but I guess it’s better safe than sorry. So it’s not a rule intentionally targeting black people, it’s protecting all soldiers. The rest of NATO should probably enforce the same rule.








  • I don’t think that Americans understand how insane that headline is for a European Linux user, with no knowledge of a person called Chestnut. I know what sudo is, and a chestnut is something you eat for Christmas.

    So a chestnut ate 70 dogs? I had soo many questions. Like how did the chestnut eat anything? How did it get 70 dogs, did it just walk (and do chestnuts walk? How?) down the street, eyeing a poodle and chump it down? … and that was just my questions before you threw a “sudo 33” command into the mix.
