  • “Free Open Source Software”

    I think.

    Sync is the odd man out because even though it’s free to use, it’s ad driven, and then there’s a yearly subscription service for no ads.

    Honestly, it’s a good app with a good developer. If supporting good work is your thing, I see no reason to use it free or with subscription. It supports him, and if you don’t like it…you always have FOSS apps which arent as polished but completely free.

    FOSS apps are important because they’ll always be the standard of “acceptable” and alternative apps MUST be better if they want you to give up your hard earned time and money for it.

    Just take a look at Reddit.







  • Yeah, totally on purpose. This was a long time ago and mental health wasn’t taken as seriously as it is now. Today it would have been called PTSD and he would have gotten help had he been born 20 years later.

    You know poison control hotlines? EMTs on the scene had to call them for advise. So if the local poison control center doesn’t know the answer right away, they have to call the next higher one which is like for the eastern half of the USA. They didn’t know either and had to call up to the one which was in charge of the whole country.

    Poison control toxicologists move fast. They know alot and have alot of resources on hand in case they dont. I guess this was one of the first times they had ever heard of ingestion of chemicals from a fire extinguisher in the country.

    By the time it got up to national level, which was only a few minutes, the guy was gone. Autopsy basically showed the dudes lung was stone. Everything down to alevoli was filled completely.

    Damn right there are better ways. Must have been scary as hell for everyone.
