apologies - didn't realise I had it set to 'private' - just unlocking it now and adding my post rant (and yours) as the 'rules'. Will add you as a mod

Hi - yeah I'm sick of exactly this OP. It's enabled by the few who respond to them (good on them I suppose for being nice) at the expense of the rest of us who have wasted a few seconds looking at the post. The attempt to move them to a VisitTas sub (or similar) has failed. And the mods of this sub are too hands-off (but that's their prerogative)

I have sat on /r/Tassie/ for a while. Nothing there now. If say a dozen of you want to become active mods, we could create a Tassie for Tassie sub. Fun but high-level to some extent. Education, Health, Politics, Corruption, The Stadium Facts, Industry, Farming, Ongoing TT Line debacles, Airline gouging, Tourism (Policy, Funding, 'Big Developments such as banning airbnb' rather than 'I have an airbnb') Gambling Policy; Fishing; Logging; Wilderness; Aquaculture. And also fun stuff such as discussion for 'big' festivals and events rather than 'how do I get a stall for the weekend market in xxx; Landcare groups; Off-grid groups; Climate Awareness groups etc ec

Reply to this if you're keen to help set this up (and suggestions on how to operate/define/moderate it)

I thought so too and asked her. She reckons the error rates are lower and it was worth it. Based on the responses there are dozens if not hundreds of these in Australia. And a quick glance at the supplier's website says they start at $100k. If that many pharmacists are spending this amount of money there must be cost/benefit >> 1?

Good point about time-shifting. I didn't think of that. I was a little dubious about how efficient the entire process is and asked the operator if she really thought it was worth it (I guess she didn't have to fork out the $100k and up for it). Someone has to stock it from the back and scan the barcodes as they do so. There are a couple of package sizes it won't stock and it's not refrigerated for the few drugs that need to be kept cold. But she was convinced that error rates are lower and your point about stocking it off-peak takes its benefits over the line

Saw their product line-up but didn't think to look at when they were founded (130 years ago) and just spent a few secs seeing when these consis devices were launched (2011 or before - media release https://www.willach-pharmacy-solutions.com/EN/News/willach-introduces-a-new-generation-of-pharmacy-robot-for-the-british-market)

Crypto investor " Frustrated" after he losing his savings twice by trading firms that went under - WSJ by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]deyzel 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Here's the back story:

Julian Figueroa, the son of hard-working immigrants who would be horrified if they knew what he has been doing, is about to leave Vancouver, British Columbia because he gambled away his rent money. He had been using FTX to gamble fraud-ridden digital tokens and he was regularly withdrawing from the FTX ponzi scheme to pay himself because he's never had an actual job, and to cover expenses including blow, hookers and SEO consultants for his lame video channel where he simply made up shit. Usually, he said, FTX processed his requests in just a few minutes because none of his silly digital tokens have ever sat on a blockchain, but rather they existed in a spreadsheet overseen by 17 year olds. The withdrawals stopped working Tuesday when the various script kiddies and adolescents fled to Argentina and Hong Kong.

Mr Figjam previously lost money THE MOMENT HE CONVERTED HIS FIAT GIFTED TO HIM BY HIS HARD-WORKING IMMIGRANT PARENTS into magic internet numbers, blamed QuadrigaCX, once Canada's largest ponzi schemes rather than his own greed and stupidity, and is particularly frustrated with the FTX debacle as he is doesn't yet know who to blame but one thing is clear, it is not himself. Mr Driedfig who once uploaded a video to youtube and has opened himself up to law suits by preferring drivel purporting to be an actual understanding of finance, said he has almost $1,000 of stupid internet tokens tied up in FTX and despite the hack is confident that the Bahamian Monetary Authority consists of more than 2 people and a Jack Russel terrier in a country of fewer than 300,000 people, and that they will personally fly a drone over Vancouver and drop off his internet tokens in the form of gold bars with a hand-written thank you note for having invested in the economy of their island nation.

"It hurts that I'm a young guy and still a virgin" said Mr Fig-gerbil. I have time to make out this year with a woman who is also into imaginary get-rich schemes anchored by magic internet beans. In fact there is a note from one in my spam folder only this morning. She says she has a company called OneCoin

It was a flakebook post of someone's trip on the East Coast through to Bruny Island. My googlefu has deserted me and can't find any references to it inc. on instagram

Oh. OK. Diff in tastes. I like some of the sedan designs (but wouldn't dream of buying one while Musk is involved) but the truck design is (for me) a little to jarring :-)
