I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • JAMP Pharma Corp., a Quebec pharmaceutical maker, is recalling one lot of JAMP-Pregabalin pain medicine because bottles labelled to contain 50-milligram capsules may contain 150-milligram capsules instead.

    Health Canada announced the recall in an unusual Saturday evening statement.

    The announcement said the company’s mix-up could lead to patients taking a much larger dose of the painkiller than prescribed, possibly resulting in an overdose that could “pose serious, potentially fatal health risks.”

    JAMP-Pregabalin is an adult prescription drug. It is used to treat pain caused by nerve damage due to diabetes, shingles or spinal cord injury. It is also used to treat pain associated with fibromyalgia, Health Canada said.

    The recall affects one lot of the 50-mg capsules bearing lot number 2305012747, which carries a 2026-08 expiry date, Health Canada said.

    Health Canada stressed that taking too much pregabalin or suddenly increasing the dose could potentially lead to patients overdosing, which can be life-threatening.



  • The annotation system could benefit from federation. Users can submit any interpretation, and some of them will need to be moderated.

    I can’t think of a format that would be compatible with other fediverse platforms. While it would be nice to be able to annotate from existing accounts or follow new updates to a song from Lemmy/Mastodon, the specifics would be complicated. Do people follow artists, albums, songs, lines of text? Sometimes people will want to annotate a single word, and other times a whole paragraph

    However, the lyrics themselves would be better off with a system like Wikipedia
