He's ruining his own life by being a moron. By not naming him in a complaint, he will not learn that his actions have consequences.

Pharmacy professional weighing in.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Controls are monitored for what's filled. Like another user said, if you take them back the pharmacy will just destroy them, nothing is documented. There are often self-serve drop boxes for meds in pharmacies, look to see where they might be in your area (Most of the time it's a pharmacy, but can be elsewhere). Nothing is reported with med disposal.

Gonna say as well that 10 tabs is absolutely nothing. 5-325 can come in bottles of 500 tabs, and seeing prescriptions for month-long supplies for chronic pain users is pretty common.

The drug reporting watches for patient safety by making sure that a patient isn't getting multiple prescriptions (potentially at different pharmacies, or different prescribers) that could interact with each other. Let's say you take Oxycodone 5mg three times daily chronically. You get in an accident and the emergency room prescribes you Norco (your hydro/APAP 5-325). The monitoring tool lets them know that you're already on an opioid and to either change therapy or verify the additional dose with your PCP.

Anyways I'm rambling. Long story short, you've got the least suspicious prescription. Nothing to worry about.

I think they were just adding to the conversation

That 20% down payment in today's market is just atrocious. We're getting ready to sell our home and we will profit maybe 80k, and that's still not enough for a detached 3-bedroom home in our area. We'll likely need to dip into our 401k to get up to 20% to avoid PMI

That's a bizzare acronym to me. I just say "Edit:". Sign of the times, I've outgrown the younger generation's new way of talking to each other.

Mainly just people reading the headline, upvoting, then continue scrolling (I am guilty of this as a lurker). Working in healthcare, I don't even need to read this article to know it's true. Private equity is the antithesis of good public healthcare.

Never had a problem with mine

Article title seems AI generated. Makes it sound like the whole of Alaska Airlines was barred.

Due to this, Alaska Airlines opted to limit the aircraft from extended flights over water to ensure that the plane "could return very quickly to an airport" if the warning light reappeared, according to Jennifer Homendy, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair.

Looks like Alaska knew about the previous warnings and voluntarily pulled it from international flights.

It's the ooooold Tumblr layout. This layout doesn't exist anymore

Off topic, but I've been seeing a lot of people use ETA as of late in places it doesn't make sense. I've always known it as an acronym for "Estimated Time of Arrival".

Does it have some new meaning that I've missed out on?

LegalEagle just did a video about it as well https://youtu.be/vKwrMD7zDvM?si=ZVTJJkqSAQ495Wml

It's the modern equivalent of posting on Facebook that you don't agree to Facebook doing x or y (Using your photos, binding you to new terms, etc.). The thought is that by posting the link on their comments, it will keep LLMs from using their comments for training purposes.

It will not.

Edit: Here's a great Ask Lemmy from a few weeks ago all about this https://lemmy.ml/post/15152684

This is my recommendation as well. Having the alarms sync is one of my favorite things with the watch. And when you stop it on one it stops it on both.

Summarized article created by Google's Bard:

"The Biden administration has proposed a new rule that would expand background checks for gun purchases. The rule would clarify who qualifies as a firearms dealer and require them to conduct background checks on gun buyers. The rule is expected to be met with opposition from gun rights groups, but gun safety groups have welcomed the proposal.

Here are the key points of the rule:

The rule would define a firearms dealer as someone who "engages in the business of selling firearms."
The rule would require firearms dealers to obtain a license and conduct background checks on all gun buyers.
The rule would not apply to people who sell a gun only once or twice a year, or if they sell a gun to a family member or close friend.

The rule is expected to go into effect after a 90-day public comment period."

Sounds like a step in the right direction

Yup, this is how I explain FDM printing to friends. It's like a giant hot glue gun, layer one layer at a time. Except instead of a giant hole for glue, it's a 0.4mm hole, really tiny.

I don't have it auto updating. I'm just a dingus who doesn't read

Nah, they actually filled them with collectible cardboard bottle caps. This is POG Racing

I've used Grocy before that had good functionality for that. Can create chores that are done regularly and it can be assigned to certain people, or rotates through the family. The main feature is tracking groceries, but it does so much more.

Likely dyeing products that are strawberry flavored. They're not putting dye onto strawberries.

I'm confused how $17 is considered expensive. If that was a monthly price it would be expensive. $17 for a year? Cheapest subscription I've ever paid for, and I'm happy to do it as a subscription to continually support the developer.

Running a dedicated server for my friend group, and it's pretty fun!

There's an option to change the download size. 2GB is the smallest, 50GB I believe is the biggest. Downloaded my Google Photos to import into Immich yesterday, I opted for 10GB files and had 17 zip files to download.

My mom's homemade strawberry jam

Loving the look is this. Got a guide for making one?

I remember Grocy being pretty easy to setup with Docker. Just set up your compose file and start it up.

Grocy already lets you add expiration dates and non-food items.

Sometimes I just have a hankering for fresh McDonald's fries.

From the article, looks like Bard is now using Gemini as its backend, no opt-in needed.

Starting today, Bard will use a fine-tuned version of Gemini Pro for more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding and more.

Correct, but it being adaptive is. I have my screen timeout set for 5 minutes. If it's adaptive, when I set my phone down it will recognize that I'm no longer using it and turn off the screen before it gets to 5 minutes.

I'm really surprised I haven't had any major framerate drops in TotK. I'm using my launch-day system, so as old as they get, and playing hand-held almost exclusively it's been pretty darn smooth.

Thanks for the tip on the Postgres changes! Went back and looked at the 1.95.0 changes and followed the instructions there for fixing it. This seems to have solved my issue!

You should read the article yourself. There license has nothing to do with AI. Quoting them directly:

Creative Commons solves a particular problem for us -- how to encourage republication at scale without tying up staff in negotiating deals and policing unauthorized uses. We've found it an invaluable aid in building our publishing platform, in reaching additional readers, and in maximizing the chance that the journalism we publish will have important impact.

You need to stop pointing at ProPublica as if you're copying them, because you aren't. They're using the license to encourage republishing their works. The first article linked in that post was published in 2009, long before the AI boom. I've gone over the license you link as well, and it doesn't limit AI either. That's something you seem to have fabricated yourself.

The reason people are annoyed by you is because it amounts to spam. It could be client specific as well. In Sync, your link gets auto-expanded with a link preview, same as any link. A cool feature, I really like it. Except your spam is everywhere you are and takes up screen real estate. This is again where ProPublica differs. On the post you keep referring to, there is not a link to the license, just the lettering at the top of a lengthy article. As another user pointed out, it wasn't even posted by ProPublica, but reposted by an independent user.

Useful for tape measures. 3/8in would be 6 marks in (6/16)

That's the important part for me. As long as the whole process isn't automated I'm fine with it.

You said you recently got a gigabit plan, but that's related to your home download speed. Check to see what your upload speed actually is. Depending on your ISP's plans, you might have a speedy download but a slow upload.

I'm always curious when this type of story comes up. Is it locale based? Certain states doing funny things? Certain chain pharmacy practices? From my almost 10 years experience as a pharmacy technician in Oregon and Washington, I still have yet to see the actual cash price (not wholesale price) be cheaper than insurance.

They legally can not tell you that

Got a source for that? Absolutely not true.

If you go to Walgreens, your prescription leaflet specifically tells you how much you "saved" over the cash price. That cash price is the most expensive price you could pay for the medication. Cash price of your drug is $297? If insurance pays nothing, you'll pay $297. Ask to pay cash and you'll pay $297.

Now there are some chains that do have a list of medications that they do have cheaper (Example is Walmart's $4 Drug List, or Walgreens' paid discount program), but that's chain specific and the lists are pretty narrow in what's covered. They're loss leaders since they want to fill all your other drugs that aren't on those lists.

The other alternative is Discount Cards. Can definitely save money over insurance prices, but it's hard to know what those companies are doing with your data. You're giving a random 3rd party access to your health information. They'll give you a discount then turn around and sell your information to the highest bidder. Unfortunately sometimes a pharmacy will run your claims through one without telling you when you ask to pay cash (Some give kickbacks to the tech/pharmacist).

None of this is to say that I like the prices of drugs. Drug makers and insurance companies artificially raise prices and tell you you're getting a good deal on your "million dollar" medication.

The board does a sick backflip
