You can even find radioactive shit sold on Amazon as health products. So radioactive, that it can incur the wrath of federal agencies.

I see we have a volunteer

My family is all various flavors of neurospicy, and we've kind of organically developed nonverbal signals for "A thing I want to say has occurred to me; please continue, but I call the next pause."

It's awesome because it allows the current speaker to complete the thought without it getting derailed, and the whole group can still participate in some back-and-forth on the current thread with the understanding that we should be reaching for a conclusion so space can be made for the next speaker to insert their thought without forcing them to step on others to make that happen.

It does a really good job of keeping our conversations from reaching the level where you're blurting things out because you feel that you aren't guaranteed an organic space to get it out. Everyone can keep from interrupting or being interrupted by requesting the talking stick from the current speaker without implying that they're taking up all the air.

Edit: Oh, right... The signal... An outstreched finger placed on the table like you're pointing at a map. Gentle tap to remind. Add fingers for follow-ups :P

Uh, yeah, actually. Those are exactly the things that the people who create and stoke climate denialism are afraid of. It's in the intrest of the fossil fuel industry to make these exact things unpopular.

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"

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.

The W bar is extremely low for this particular individual....

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.
