"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ugh, Typo. If you can't find a plan that will take you in the meantime before universal healthcare goes into effect, may I suggest opening a separate savings account (or interest-bearing checking if you can get one) as a dedicated for-medical-expenses-only reserve and putting that $300/month aside into it? Won't help with getting good pricing on meds and having doctor's fees adjusted down, but it might at least give you a bit of a buffer for any acute care you may need.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Get your mandibles off me, you damn dirty ant!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's just...TB, I'm speechless on the topic. Just...grrr.

I just bought a couple more baggus for "other" uses. For these I'll try not to lose the carry bags, and carry them inside my backpack instead of my car. And they're patterned instead of plain.

Anyone here fill prescriptions at Rite Aid? I'm curious about their extranet infrastructure. CVS is pretty bare bones--their automatic refill system calls you beforehand to ask if you want a refill, and it's pretty VM stupid, and once a prescription is filled, it has a pretty numb phone dialler then too.

Walgreens is pretty sweet in that it lets you scan the barcode of any prescription, select an address (pay attention to this step, seriously), and it automatically submits a prescription refill request. Once the prescription is filled, it emails you to tell you. You can also get your RX history in their app.

I was wondering what other pharmacy chains offered. Actually, in general, what retail stores offer in terms of apps for their customers. I mean, Papa Johns has one, and once you get past "App! Kewl!" it's really not actually useful beyond anything you can do on their website. Taxi Magic on the other hand, *is* magic.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

No, it's The Aquabats Super Show.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's what I call it too, Ginger.

Most of the kids in Matilda's class are in this group. Well, about half, I'd guess.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's what it's called - I think the origin is from sports rather than Star Trek.
