Isn’t that essentially the story of Coca-cola. Early in their history they didn’t think bottling would be successful, so they signed a perpetual contract to sell the bottlers syrup at a fixed price. Then when bottled coke became popular, the only way for coke to profit was on volume, so they launched a massive advertising campaign advertising the drink price of 5 cents.
Decades later, coke ads are classic Americana and it’s popularity is one reason these drugs are needed.

I wonder if fossil fuel companies are pushing these stories to undermine support for climate change policies.
That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.
One thing I’m learning from these types of questions is that knowledge isn’t power, money is. There is precious little I could do with future knolewedge outside of personal/family matters without first using that knowledge to make as much money as possible.
Was the bandage store there before he turned around or did it come into existence to maintain causality for the time traveler?

Pennsylvania over a decade ago. Somehow I had managed to get on the wrong side of the freeway and when i realized (very little directional signage and no GPS), I took the next exit to find there was no corresponding on-ramp to get back on the otherside.
After some wandering I found a gas station, bought a map, and took side streets until I could get back on the main road.
Yep. Trying to maintain a consistent startmenu for computer labs with Windows 11 is annoying.
The layout is stored in an encrypted file that cannot be editted directly. You have to manually setup the start menu on one profile then copy the file to all the others. This works fine for intial deployments, but is a massive pain if you need to add any other apps later.
The old powershell commandlet for importing layouts does not work in Win11. The old group policy settings don’t work either. The actual DLL calls used by the end user to manually configuring the start menu are deliberatly coded to prevent being called from a script.
It is freaky how much work Microsoft has done to prevent scripting changes to the start menu.
The only officially supported method for an IT department to manage the start menu is intune, but microsoft’s device licensing for intune is a mess out folks have yet to figure out.
They encrypt the damn start menu and they cannot encrypt this?
How many carpenter bees even have a youtube channel. I bet not even one has uploaded a video covering alternatives to the Festool Domino.

After nearly a year on lemmy, I’m guessing it was capitalism or maybe microsoft.
My pet conspiracy theory that California does not exist. It was invented by democrats to pad their electoral votes. Any one who has traveled there actually went to a staged area in Oregon. Anyone who claims to live there is either brainwashed or in on it. Maps, globes, etc. have all been altered. Satellites have special software that adds California to its images. Spacecraft windows are actually screens that digitally alter earth to add California.
Once you consider that California is allegedly the location of Hollywood and movies often create convincing, fake worlds, it makes sense. Hollywood was created to take advantage of the tech developed to fake California and continue funding the conspiracy…
Maybe I’m the centrist in this scenario, but isn’t that just normal left? I’d expect far left to be like “we are going to exterminate all the rich then give their stuff to everyone else”
Don’t panic. A few fleas could easily be random chance. You don’t really have to go to a vet, but in this case I would just for peace of mind for the humans.
Do buy a flea comb (if you do not already have one) and begin combing every night. Espcially around the neck and head. Don’t worry about squishing the fleas, just mix up some mild soapy water in a glass and drop them in that.
Keep count every night and you will be able to tell if the problem is under control or not.
Do vacuum and clean house.
You may want to invest in a flea trap. These combine a light and a sticky pad and can be placed on the floor to attract any loose fleas. Move it around to likely places and it will both help trap fleas and give you an idea of how many might be in the house (if any.)
If you do not go to a vet, do buy some over the counter flea treatment. If regular combing is not enough, it will help, but I would not use it for just a few fleas.
My cat has had fleas a few times, but thankfully I’ve only needed the ointment once. Mist of the time combing was enough.
