To be clear, the link is between anticholinergics, of which some first-generation antihistamines are, while others are less potent as anticholinergics.

Best I can tell, the clinical advice is to avoid prescribing these to patients aged 65 and above.

I'd still generally prefer sleeping completely naturally, but I think comments like these might make people avoid medicine that could help them improve their sleep over time. I was massively helped by the use of Hydroxyzine when I was younger, which helped me get on a path to better sleep and overall health.

It's kind of fine if it becomes just another Truth social though, isn't it? Kind of a containment zone. The big problem is if it's the one place where everyone is.

In Sweden, this was a relic from the time when TVs were a luxury exclusively used by rich people, i.e. when they were first introduced to the market. As TVs successively got cheaper, it became essentially a tax on every household.

We power on, my friend. We'll make it in the end

It's not to say I accept it, but I also know that I don't exactly have a choice in the matter.

This has been the worst part about working in tech since the big layoff period from about the beginning of 2023 - unthinkable levels of uncertainty in your life.

Still definitely got a better deal than most in life, but damn if it hasn't been mentally taxing

Depends on if the good people have better places to go, I guess. My guess is that you're probably going to lose people who have some amount of tenure, especially if you're the kind of company that gives equity that vests on a 4-year schedule. Even if you're not, people with some amount of tenure will be the ones trending towards being checked out already.

Losing people with tenure means you lose organisational memory, which can definitely be negative.

This is all to say that as an organisation, you should think twice about doing any kind of layoff. They are all bad in their own way. This just happens to be the format that is least bad for most workers, which is why I prefer it.

I mean, you're probably right, but between this and regular layoffs? This every day of the week

This is the best way to do headcount reductions imo. In large organisations there's always someone who's been there for a long time and gotten tired of the work, and that would gladly take this type of offer if it's lucrative enough.

To demonstrate - imagine that you've been considering quitting your job for a while. Then someone comes along and says that if you do that, you also get some additional cash for free. You'd probably take it, right?

And if you necessarily need to reduce headcount, then there's also the argument that if someone leaves voluntarily, then someone who wants to stay doesn't have to get pushed out.

So yeah, I'm not against this

Exposing your database directly to the internet? God damn, it really is amateur hour.

Reason is a shit rag, and I don't think their slop should be posted.

Sweden did something similar for a long time, making every owner of a TV pay a license fee. Then the enforcing body tried to reclassify all computers as TVs, including smartphones, since these could technically access the online streaming version of the state-owned media. A ridiculous interpretation that was ultimately struck down in court.

All this did was cause unnecessary friction, and kept a bunch of really useless people on payroll to collect this fee.

We resolved it in the end by just making it a tax instead, and it's never been better. Rest in piss, Radiotjänst, nobody ever liked you

Idk how that's going to go.

This was a hilariously toxic game by the way, coming from someone who played and enjoyed it as a teen. Seriously, even the developers were completely insane
