I recently bought a $5 pc with a core 2 duo, I added 3 gb of ram to make 4gb. I got a amd radeon 8490 for the gpu for $10-ish and it runs really well definitely a low end gaming rig!
Pretty sure i did that already. Turned an Atlhon 2 x2 into a gaming rig
Had an Atlhon 2 x2 and replaced that with a Phenom 2 x6
GT 240 replaced by a GTS450 before being replaced by a GTX680
2GB of DDR2 RAM and now has 8GB
It was definitely a fun project to take a potato and turn it into a gaming rig.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
