I’m not sure what exactly the issue is. The doctor prescribes and the prescription never gets filled. I assume the insurance said no and the pharmacy just decided not to fill it, they’re pretty inconsistent about what information they give

I also have one medical, (cheaper if you have Prime), but they don’t do ozempic/wegovy, so you’re still at the mercy of insurance, or paying out of pocket if you want GLP-1s. They’re still a great option if you have other needs, like P

This is fantastic. I fell in love with Marble Blast Ultra on Xbox 360 and sunk many hours into it. Fun fact: if you still have a physical Xbox 360 and previously purchased the game, you can still download it and play it. Of course I might n

Have they solved the problem of Whisper making up plausible sounding junk (e.g. such that reading it you would have no idea it was completely hallucinated) when there is any silence or pause in the audio?

We only have good self driving cars with lidar and extreme pre-mapping steps. Which is fine but per some billionaire car makers’ metrics that’s not even close to good enough. And the billionaire’s cars have a tendency to randomly drive off

Traveling solo is already brutal because hotels and Airbnbs are priced on the assumption of two travelers. Traveling solo essentially costs double automatically because of lodging, and it kind of sucks there’s a double whammy with airfare w

My problem is I initially had a trade in by mail in process. But since I have to walk by the apple store daily on my way to work, it was one of those rare moments where mail was actually less convenient. And I was concerned about the mail i

I'm paid by the hour and the Apple Store is a block away from my place of work, so in this particular case it is pretty clear cut. I realize it is different for people paid a fixed annual salary. Although in hindsight it probably felt

What I saw in school was a lot of foreign masters in CS students with zero experience with coding and often with very little interest in learning. Big cheating issues. The school liked it because they were paying full price, and IIRC the st

Standing is drastically more time efficient. You just have to look at the snaking queues at the women’s restroom compared to the men’s in any particularly busy public space. Who wants to bother with undoing their pants just to pee?
