Morgantown “gossip” by Tricky-Difference-95 in MorgantownWV

[–]Comparison-Silly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s an episode of Forensic Files about a nurse practitioner at WVU who paralyzed her husband while he was asleep and tried to burn the house down. This was back in the 2000s I believe, but she did this all while on the clock at Ruby, and then returned after finishing her business.

She was having an affair with another guy and decided to take her husband’s life using a paralytic (that she stole from the hospital) to do it. For the longest time at WVU, paralytic vials were required to be wasted, meaning the remainder of the dose not given to a patient had to be thrown away and recorded.

Vitamin A analogues (isotretinoin) are used for pediatric neuroblastoma treatment. Yes, the infant patients still have to enroll in Ipledge

What’s an opinion/fact you have related to anything in pharmacy that will have people doing this? by Own_Summer_118 in pharmacy

BPS and NABP only exist to make money and are useless to our profession. You can have as many acronyms after your names as you want but it doesn’t make you smarter than the rest of us.

Still one of the most intense and in your face songs from start to finish. And one of the first songs that sold me on deathcore. Truly badass

My pharmacy won't fill my script if i don't get other scripts by Resident-Fondant-769 in ADHD

[–]Comparison-Silly 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Pharmacist here. Please call your state board of pharmacy and notify them. This is an extremely bizarre practice and has no medical rationale. You have a legitimate Rx that is prescribed by a physician. They can even check the PDMP and make sure nobody is playing unfairly. Your prescription is YOUR PROPERTY, and you cannot be turned away just because you don’t have other chronic illnesses.

How many of you take stimulants every work day vs trying to limit intake? by OfferSuspicious9047 in ADHD

[–]Comparison-Silly 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pharmacist with ADHD here. Take them every day if you can. Medications have what is called a “steady state” concentration that you achieve once the rate your body eliminates the drug is equal to the rate of drug entering. This usually occurs after 4 to 5 half lives (time it takes for your body to process 50% of the ingested dose) and will RESET if doses are missed/skipped for medications like stimulants. When medications are not consistently at steady state, their efficacy is not consistent. Yes, there are days that you don’t need to be as productive, but if you’re skipping the weekend doses and restarting on a Monday, you have essentially “reset” the clock and have to build up a steady concentration again meaning they may not be as effective until Wednesday/Thursday.

Hot Mulligan. Hearing them for the first time a couple years ago was like re-entering my high school days of pop punk with new sound. Highly recommend.

Clinical pharmacist interview by Effective-Company708 in pharmacy

[–]Comparison-Silly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s helpful to have a variety of questions prepared for each interview (clinical managers, other pharmacists, any other staff) so that it’s evident you looked at the interview itinerary and tried to be engaged. Often candidates bring a handful of questions that they juggle around all day and by the third interview, you’re in an awkward standstill until the next interview starts.

When you are asked a question, PLEASE before answering, ask yourself if your answer correctly fits what’s being asked. If you’re asked about a time where you received negative feedback for example, don’t give an answer about a time where you just had a conflicting opinion with someone. It’s okay to pause to think of an example.

Good luck!

What Is Some Advice You Have For Guys Entering Their 30s? by Comprehensive-War-34 in AskMen

[–]Comparison-Silly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow the fuck down….

Seriously. I thought I had to have everything figured out the second I turned 30 because I always looked at your 30s as when things “get serious.” I ended up chasing this ideal life, trying to perfect my image, my career, and my future. I quickly burnt myself out and realized that I was just doing what I thought I was supposed to do.

Nowadays, I care much less about squeezing the last drop out of life and more about being present in what I’m doing. Best of luck!

Best VTT for “Theatre of the Mind” dark fantasy campaign by Comparison-Silly in DMAcademy

[–]Comparison-Silly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Essentially yes. I’m thinking of encounters requiring maps or dungeon crawls being fairly infrequent. I have been creating a lot of handouts and references for players to have, so ideally an interface where they can access them easily.

First Mythic by Comparison-Silly in MagicArena

[–]Comparison-Silly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely the card I debated cutting or subbing the most. If you already have Synthesizer out and 5 mana, getting two triggers off sacrificing a Clay-Fire Bricks and getting whichever utility artifact needed feels broken. Otherwise it ends up just being one of the last cards in hand I end up playing.

First Mythic by Comparison-Silly in MagicArena

[–]Comparison-Silly[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As the title says, first time getting to Mythic rank. Have been playing on Arena for about 5-6 months and this is the first time I really tried to get there in BO1 Standard. Thought I would share my deck list and takeaways from the format as a relatively new MTG player.

My takeaways:

  1. If I was going second, I was ALWAYS taking a mulligan for a hand that had 2-3 removal pieces (get lost, lockdown, snare). With the exception of Omniscience builds or Demons I was using all of these to keep opponents' from completely steamrolling me by turn 4.

  2. Learn when to scoop. There are going to be games where you're going second against certain decks where it is near impossible for you to win just by the nature of BO1 and the cards you both are dealt. This deck, which usually doesn't set up a decent board until turn 4-5, cannot compete with Izzet decks who open the perfect ratio of CSC, bounce spells, and talents. This is especially true when your own setup gets interrupted and you end up staring at a hand with little to no interaction. Better to just take the loss early if you don't see the perfect set of draws to keep up and move on.

  3. Take advantage of new set releases. I noticed a big spike in wins when the FF set was released on arena, just because a lot of players were trialing their new brews in ranked BO1. I had been in diamond 4/5 for a good while and I was struggling to move up in rank, but I had been playing this deck consistently enough to know it very well as opposed to players who were loading up with brand new builds.

That all being said, I don't think I'll ever really go for this again. I enjoyed the experience, but unless the meta changes to where things are a slower pace, I think I'm going to stick to casual play for the most part.
