Odd, you'd think that a virtual visit would be the perfect opportunity to use eScripts - otherwise, how the hell do you get the actual script?
We're going to need a patch of dirt approximately 18 feet wide.
Some hemp rope. Probably about 200 feet of it.
Three buckets of blood from a local slaughterhouse. Chicken is good. Pig is better.
Three people who can read and write in Sanskrit.
A package of paint brushes of various widths. The cheap ones will work.
A film crew.
Seven rubber ducks.
Seven tethered ravens.
A tiny Coleman campstove - one of those round ones.
One can of Campbell's Soup - I'd recommend something thin, like original chicken noodle or tomato soup.
A beefy laptop to run a standalone version of ChatGPT.
A TI-82 calculator.
Four recently caught trout. Rainbow, not Brown.
And a broken stopwatch.
Why not a TI-99? That should be able to run GPT-Ti just fine. Titanium, got to be better! Nvidia says so!
In my experience, these days I the patient don't get the prescription at all. It goes straight from the doctor to the pharmacy. I have to tell the doctor which pharmacy to send it to. If that pharmacy is out of stock or charges too much or is in a different city from where I am working the week I need a refill, I have to contact my doctor's office during business hours and give them three business days' notice that I want to use a different pharmacy.
I just realized how much this resembles a starting gear selection for a Dwarf Fortress run.
Strike the earth!
Just got an email from the mother of one of my students. I teach electives this year and the general level of effort being given in these classes is dogshit. Mom asking me why haven't I graded her daughter's late work from two weeks ago and why is her grade going down. Like, Ma'am... respectfully get fucked. Your kid didn't email me when she turned in the late work from ethnic studies, she's still missing all the work from current issues that week... and you want to know why her grade has gone down? Also... I'm even turning 0's into 50% grades on more recent stuff. Get fucked.
I've been using Costco as my pharmacy and everything I've been prescribed has been around $5. I'm just pissed that the prescriptions are for one month. Do they really expect me to go to the damn pharmacy every month for the rest of my life?
I'd say that some parents are legit trying to help their kids succeed, but from the tone of your post, I don't think that parent's email went that way.
I'm thinking Time Builders from the V2 of TWILIGHT ZONE and they haven't yet realized they forgot to put the gym shorts into position.
It's the difference between "Hey can you check my kids missing assignments" to "MY KID did the assignments, WHY haven't YOU graded them!"
The lack of understanding is demonic.
This may veer Soapboxish. Sorry in advance.
A quote on the news from Donald Trump about using the Government Shutdown as a way to downsize, fire, and do irreversible things that are bad for 'them'.
It's not bad for 'them'. It's bad for 'us'. As in the entire damn country, you fucking Mango Megalomaniac.

And it's all stuff they'd do anyway. And they'd blame the Democrats anyway. Threats carry no weight when they aren't actually different from your present actions.
So I just read the wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Cube and I understand even less now than before!
Aren’t shutdowns are paid vacations for the Feds? Unlike us contractor scum who get nothing if not deemed essential.
Historically, yes. This time? Even in the best case, pay is delayed.
Civil Servants who are deemed essential get the fun of coming to work and also not getting paid. Like Air Traffic Controllers, TSA agents... and the military.
Talk to your doctor, I get 3 month's worth each time. Can't do that for all drugs though, like opiods.
I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
I've never really had any prescriptions, but now they want me to take some blood pressure pills and some cholesterol pills (or do life style changes, but fuck all that), so I'm not used to how this all works.
General website stupidity. Trying to enter a credit card, it won't accept spaces. Folks, I was removing spaces with sed 40 effin years ago, I've done it in awk, perl, C, Java, and now Kotlin. It ain't that hard, and it's a hell of a lot easier to spot a mistake in 4 groups of 4 than in 1 group of 16. Especially as it's 4 groups of 4 on my bloody card.
Of course, once I enter the number I get "payment cannot be processed, call 1-800-sux2bu". Where I get "due to unexpected call volume yadda yadda".

If you're new at it the doc may well want to try something for 30 days and see how things go. He'll adjust the dosage, maybe change drugs, and eventually the two of you will settle on something. Then you can get 90 days at a time.
Pharmacies can generally transfer prescriptions without involving the prescribing doctor('s office). My understanding is that in many/most circumstances, they are even legally required to do so on reasonable request, because patients have the right to obtain medications from their pharmacy of choice.
Just earlier today, I was trying to make an account on a website and first they wanted a country code, but even adding 1- to the phone number wasn't enough; I had to add +1- to the phone number. I had to freaking add a +
Which is valid formatting...but horrific user experience and shouldn't have needed to happen. Especially with no error message.
