That's actually really good to hear. It really sucks that the animal component is almost pointless, and it seems to be more unethical to include them in the testing process, but it's good to hear that at least the safety guardrails were working in the past.

Seems we just need to rethink how to ethically test on humans from the start, though I worry about letting the current people in charge execute that plan.

If they are so similiar, why is it ok to treat them so much worse?

There's actual medication that was tested on animals that was completely fine then when it got approved it was given to human women and caused crazy amounts of miscarriages. Different species are not comparable when it comes to medication, testing on animals is almost completely pointless.

It sometimes feels as if the medical and scientific knowledge of people who are hardline against animal testing at all is exactly that and only that thinking, yes.

Yeah, error reports seem to be some esoteric concept for some people...

I'm obviously doing the IT stuff for my family (although in the last years, I got out by saying, I'm doing Linux exclusively). So once I got a hysterical call, that the laptop is dead and nothing is working anymore.
So stupid me rushed over, just to find out that they just couldn't receive emails, because their provider had a problem.

In my book, if a laptop is dead, there isn't anything on the screen anymore - best case some BIOS stuff is happening.

I started to switch people over to Linux, at least the next generation and my near surroundings, and decline now most things on windows (or smartphones), because I officially haven't worked with those operating systems since years, and all I do is just searching around and reading things, they could've done themselves, if they wouldn't be too lazy to read.
I'm all open for people who are lost and need help, but then they mustn't treat me like a fucking employee. I'm here to help you to solve your problems next time yourself, else my work here has no point.
