Ok, so this might be an americanism, but the green cross says "cannabis dispensary" to me. At least around me, the medical marijuana industry is somewhat separated from the medical industry, and dispensaries are entirely different establishments from pharmacies. Pharmacies (and other medical establishments) use different symbols. If they were to use a cross to indicate a medical establishment, the red cross would be recognizable as a generalized symbol, but apparently it's heavily protected by the Red Cross.

But that's just my context, so I don't have much of an answer beyond "this is what it means 'round these parts"

Edit: added info from below

Oh man, I would have learned so much so fast by breaking stuff and having to fix it. It's how I learned what I know now, just later. This is fantastic

My dude. The person you're replying to said nothing about whether or not they should be able to say what they want. They simply stated their opinion about what they said.

Log off for a bit and work on your reading comprehension.

This is going to be an interesting story once this all quiets down...

Ya know, this thread has inspired me. I'm a sound engineer, and find myself yelling "check one two three four" in the michrophone to test it all the time. I'm gonna start reciting the digits of Pi instead, and then as I learn them, I'll progressively advance how many numbers of Pi that I use in my everyday job :D

I work at a library, though. I should probably just go with poetry or Douglas Adams or something, but this makes me sound much more impressive

This isn't about that specifically, but the gist of it is that they basically got a one-of-a kind prototype GPU water block from a boutique startup to review, and instead of reviewing it with the correct model GPU and sending it back as requested, they did their review on the wrong card, concluded it was crap, and then sold it at auction during their convention.

The only way to get it stable is to work out the kinks before releasing it to your user base and breaking their stuff in the process.

They're a small group of volunteers. It's amazing that they keep up as much as they already do.
