I didn’t, but that’s because I remembered the other thread where TSH claimed to be the other woman in an affair. People were outraged.
- Comment on Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds 1 week ago:
Generally a good suggestion but having your mental health depend on a controlled substance is a fresh kind of hell. Anyone know how Spain’s health care system is for trans folks on testosterone? I can get citizenship in an EU country and a couple of people I know moved to Madrid last year and I think this situation has convinced me to move even if I’ve forgotten most of the Spanish I once knew.
I did pitch a fit and managed to get it filled today but I never want to deal with this shit again, it’s been life-alteringly awful previous times.

I’m currently stuck in prior authorization hell and used the last dose of my med yesterday. Ugh. I hate this fucking country.

Ugh I have astigmatism and I was reading Lemmy without my glasses, that meme is headache inducing.

I’ve heard to skip the first novel of the Culture series, I read it and kinda bounced off of it from a prose standpoint because it’s very 80s sci fi, so the rest of the series probably isn’t for me.
- Comment on No like really bro I’m just here for the silly shoes 5 weeks ago:
Bowling shoes no, but I remember saddle shoes having a resurgence with hipsters and I think the stereotypical bowling shoes are a type of saddle shoe.
- Comment on In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to be discerning and to make sure to get your info from a reliable source. 5 weeks ago:
Quite a few of my local Chinese places still use the clamshell takeout ones. It’s the worst. The plastic and the stereotypical one both work really well. The Styrofoam is good at leaking all the sauce out the sides.

Wait, the Netherlands has legal magic mushrooms? That surprises me given that I’ve heard their weed isn’t quite as freely legal as their reputation makes it seem.
- Comment on What the Hell is this Bull shit ? 5 weeks ago:
In the US, your state’s department of weights and measures might care. They’re the ones who verify grocery store scales, taxi cab fare meters, gas pumps… they exist to make sure you’re not getting ripped off. If you’re in a blue state they care, in a red state ymmv.

I was just thinking red bean cheesecake would probably be pretty tasty.

IDK but I’ve seen pics of 911 operator setups with some absurd number of screens and I bet there’s a lot of stuff that would be useful for them to have open.
- Comment on Me with my first edition harry potter 1 month ago:
I like Clive Cussler novels and I still agree with you, lol. They’re stupid fun, a cross between James Bond and Indiana Jones but not quite as good as either.

So what’s stopping me, a random guy who doesn’t work for uber eats, from walking in, pretending to scan a reciept, and walking out with free random food? What happens when the real driver shows up? Does McDonalds hold their line that they already made and packaged that order? Or does Ubereats insist they never picked it up?
Not a whole lot, actually. It happens on occasion, but less than you’d think - and in places where it happens frequently they hand out the orders rather than doing the shelf thing. If the person ordering has tipped well (yeah the drivers can see the tips) sometimes they’ll get the restaurant to remake it and you’ll actually get hot food, or some of the nicer delivery folks will let the restaurant know the order got snatched before unassigning from your order. And the restaurant has some incentive to remake your food because if you don’t get your food they don’t get paid - support is not good but it’s usually pretty obvious when some kind of screw up has happened. The whole system relies on people being decent, and thankfully people are - at least poor people in cities generally are.
The local places are generally good at using a heat lamp, at least the places near me that allow you to order through their website, for pickup - which I’m usually picking up my own order because, like you said, those delivery apps are stupidly expensive even if you’re ordering from somewhere actually worth ordering from.

Where did you get it? I’ve got a roommate who loves pigeons and I ran across this on AliExpress a few months ago but the listings I found were expensive and the reviews said they were cheaply made and didn’t work well.

- Comment on God bless the Midwest 2 months ago:
This is the right call. They’ve got a “harvest veggie burger” that’s primarily chickpeas and cheese so not appropriate for vegans and it’s pretty mid. Skip the cheese puck, go for the curds.

- Comment on Candy cigarettes are illegal because they encourage kids to smoke 2 months ago:
I’m not sure it’s legal to call them candy cigarettes though - I’ve always seen them called something else. Yup, it’s illegal to call them cigarettes in the US, and they vary in legality elsewhere.
I only ever see them for sale in places that sell old fashioned candy, I think their decline has to do with the fact they just don’t taste very good (in addition to the changing cultural opinions about cigarettes, but I bet they’ve declined even in places where a large percentage of adults still smoke).

I’ve once made the mistake of stepping into an anime con game room on Sunday that gave out free samples of Axe body spray. You just end up with Axe + heinous body odor. I’m not sure it’s worse, but it’s not better.

My mom had a manager who didn’t have fingerprints. When the bank they worked at implemented fingerprint login on the computers it caused a few problems.

I’d love to figure out some improvement to CoMaps cycling directions, although I’m starting to use it more as a digital map and doing my own route planning. Both CoMaps and Google make some bizarre routing choices but this is a place where Co Maps has space to really excel. Co Maps might already be slightly better in some regards but Google is usually workable and CM’s route is 90% better and 10% baffling utter nonsense. The goog has absolutely been responsible for multiple occasions where I’ve said fuck no and ended up riding on the sidewalk though.

GE sells LED bulbs that come with a remote, nothing smart about them, I can dim them or turn them off entirely with the remote that lives on my bedside table.
