To alleviate that feeling: they’re the same person.

Sure they can. Regular hospitals may not use them, but nuclear pharmacies implement, among other measurements, thermoluminescent dosimeter rings and badges that are sent in to be measured monthly or quarterly to provide a cumulative radiation exposure estimate. And if your measurements pass a certain threshold, you’re not allowed to work until enough time has passed that you’re no longer over the acceptable radiation rate.

Beyond the pricing issue you already found, unless you have specific genetic mutations that cause CF like the F508del mutation, these drugs won’t really do anything for you.

No, all of these bills are satirical. Dems are doing it in a few states to point out the absurdity. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/mississippi-lawmaker-introduces-contraception-begins-erection-act-rcna188938

I was thinking the seller might have a curse that would cause her to get hit by a car, but she had the crystal that was constantly protecting her until she handed it over. But I like your idea too.

It was a Minute Physics video. Only 2 minutes, and a great watch.

None of those meds do anything to prevent or end a cold, just treat symptoms. So you may be fooling yourself, or you may be treating your symptoms well enough that it feels like you avoided the cold altogether.

If they got that big of a discount, it may have been a manufacturer’s savings card.

It’s not the pharmacies that set the prices. At least, not really. The pharmacy pays near the listed “cash-price” for the drug from the wholesaler, who buys from the manufacturer, so the pharmacy can’t really afford to charge much less than they do for many drugs.

And the price the patient sees after insurance is decided based on the insurance or pharmacy benefit manager who deals with prescription benefits for the insurance.

Pharmacies are also contractually prevented from charging less to a cash-paying patient than what they charge to the insurance companies, so you start getting weirdness with coupon cards to work around that.

Germany had 17 active nuclear plants in 2011 and decommissioned them all by 2023.

I guess Ol’ Windbag Winnie was a smoker then, with such accelerated aging.

 

I’ve been having a weird problem recently where when I sort by Top in a comments section, often times a few top-level comments don’t show up, and the replies to that comment are shown as top-level instead. It seems to happen more with comments that have a negative score.

It’s fixed when I sort by Old. I’m not sure if it’s some weird setting I have or a bug. I’d be appreciative for any help!
