  • Nope. At least, not that I’ve seen even slightly recently. I got into PCs ~15 years ago, and they were already becoming a lot less common then. It probably still exists in some niche way, that’s usually how it goes. Maybe HP still uses them or something like that.

    Sorry if any of this is stuff you already know: The beep is a POST code- power on self test. That beep when you turn on the computer is basically the computer saying, “everything started correctly, from here on it’s probably a software problem.”

    If there is a problem and your motherboard can figure out what it is- bad cpu, bad ram, no video, etc- it gives a POST code via the little speaker. It’s a nice troubleshooting tool, because a lot of the time the hardest part of the fix is figuring out what part is the problem.

    The content warning is the title being ‘Content warning: gaza genocide’, you don’t need to also mark it nsfw when it isn’t nsfw. At least when it isn’t actually graphic in any way.

    Besides, this isn’t the comm for lighthearted content anyways. Way too much politics here.

    As for why you’re getting downvoted… it’s three people. They probably just think marking this nsfw is ridiculous, because the title is a content warning already. It also might be that people downvote anyone that says, “why am I getting downvotes!”



  • Well, generally you’re only supposed to take ~2 tablets at a time, so 10? 40 pills a day is 13,000mg of acetaminophen, or 20,000mg if they’re extra strength.

    That’s, uh, bad. You’re recommended to take under 4000mg per day, so that’d be a bit over a packet? Makes sense to me.

    For the record, mixing two painkillers without consulting a doctor is also usually a bad idea but way fucking less of a bad idea than taking 13000mg of tylenol in a day. Afaik, acetaminophen with other stuff is probably fine but napoxen, ibuprofen, and aspirin all work roughly the same way and shouldn’t be mixed.



  • (for whatever reason, my brain remembered this as, like, a centaur and an elf and, maybe, a goblin underneath but I think this still qualifies for genocidal eugenicism, nonetheless).

    You remembered correctly, kinda. The “Magic Is Might” statue was installed later on, but during Order Of The Phoenix in the ministry there’s the ‘Fountain of Magical Brethren’. It’s a wizard and a witch that are being stared up at adoringly by a centaur, goblin, and an elf.

    Which I wouldn’t call genocidal eugenicism, but it’s definitely problematic in a different way. I think I remember Dumbledore pretty explicitly calling the statue a bad thing, but I don’t remember exactly how or when.
