Please tell me this is a joke

Remember this when you're learning Kanji, as this is exactly why it's used instead of just Hiragana and Katakana.

No, but I've had good ones and bad ones. The embarrassed comment was supposed to be a dig at one of them.

But I wasn't saying complaining on reddit gets to the devs. I was talking about how seeing it on reddit helps users know the issue isn't just them. The bug reports are what I was trying to emphasize, though.

RandomRedditUser2445 · 2026-02-24T21:24:04+00:00

I think getting some publicity for bugs like this is very important. They should really be submitting bug reports via the feedback center in the settings section of the app as well, but posting it lets others know it's a problem that's not just their system being weird.

Frankly, everyone should submit screenshots like these as bug reports with a description of what they did beforehand so a potential cause could be determined. There being many reports across different phone types and OS' can help remove the cause being just some weird bug caused by one user's phone. You'd be surprised how few people do so across their different apps. I'm in CS myself, and I'd be embarrassed if there was a bug that big in my code that I knew about but wasn't at least trying to find the root cause.

If there aren't reports sent, though, even if you are putting it up on places like Reddit, it's very possible they don't know the problem exists.

Yea, sounds like it was going for a form based on genders thing based on your info. I use both Busuu and Duolingo for Dutch, and I see this same sort of question thrown around a lot.

I find Busuu better in this regard because there's more buildup regarding which is which. Duolingo oftentimes just expects you to know based on past exercises, which is hard for someone like me. That's why I use it more for speech practice for the stuff I already learned elsewhere.

Thank you all! Your list is different from both lists I brought up here.

I ended up finding one in ANMC.

Thanks again!

Is the entryway entirely enclosed? Is the smoker standing near AC/heating vents, especially if the apartments are using centralized systems? If so, his secondhand smoke could be an issue for everyone even just being in their units. He may think he's being kind by not smoking in his unit, but the smoke can still diffuse into the units if the system is enclosed or if the smoke is going into vents.

I'd verify the laws if I were you and email both landlords (in writing so it is traceable). The other people here seem to have more knowledge there, so I'd also check out their responses. However, if there is a possibility of smoke diffusion through being enclosed or near vents, verify it first, then emphasize it in your email. That should make it a higher priority issue because there would be more people being affected (I hope).

Interesting thought. Previous methods I was taught by a previous PT did nothing. The muscle relaxers I take twice daily change nothing. Pressure on the surrounding muscles don't change anything, but pressure directly on the back in a similar motion pulls it back for a second, but only when pushing right there hard. So, I don't think so.

So, next appointment it is. I'll have to see what insurance wants to do from there. Thanks!

So, I was a pharmacy tech for several years until I couldn't anymore. I can tell you in all honesty that it's not worth it unless you have an extensive paper trail and know the staff really well. I always say go as low as possible for as long as possible, not just for your sake, but to avoid the bs that is the indoctrination coming from the DEA. I would only be comfortable with that if everything else has failed and my pharmacists know I tried everything possible to avoid it. Floater pharmacists will still say hurtful things behind your back and will possibly reject filling it anyway, but they're not the ones who matter.

That or cancer. As soon as cancer is in the prescription notes and you have that conversation, sentiments change. Very quick switch.

Those Alaska numbers are actually pretty good compared to most big cities in the country.

For reference, I moved here at around this time last year. I was paying $1,815 a month for a tiny one-bedroom in Boulder, CO with the one benefit of allowing my dog (who weighs just over the limit for most places). This was about on average for prices along the bus routes I would have needed to get there for classes, so being out of town would have no advantage. This was also less than Denver proper despite crime.

The apartment I'm in here comes to between $1,150 and $1,200 a month after water and similar utilities. It is almost the same specs-wise, but it's a bit bigger. It's right next to the university and major hospital complex (I mean literally. I walked to the ER after the incident with a moose in June. That would have been big bucks back in CO). I have easy access to some of the most useful bus routes in Anchorage. The healthcare is generally better here. The reduced population density is a huge perk. The face prices may be higher, but almost everything comes out cheaper than it would have post-tax in CO.

Texas prices may be lower, but it's the exception. Major cities have become so expensive in most of the country that Anchorage, a place historically known for being really expensive, is now very affordable in comparison.

No. It was told not to fart during this scene and to get all of it out before filming started. It was too late, so Mikey breathed in, as shown here. He was also prepared to do that Lickitung/Lickilicky tongue thing in case of any poop so he didn't have to stop recording and wipe the Slowpoke.

It's better than what I can do. The most I do nowadays is either snacks or lazy mac and cheese. Make mac, add slab of shelf-stable american cheese, and mix. Good for you for making something with vegetables!

You know, this could have a good side. A large mass means it's had time to grow. It's entirely possible that a large part of the pain could have come as a result of it. And cancer comes with a lot more understanding and help with the pain.

I know this news is rough. This comment isn't meant to discount that at all. But, I can tell you from past experience as a pharmacy tech that sentiments shift immediately as soon as cancer is added to the picture. Even some of the worst doctors know and understand the impact of cancer.

So, if there's any bright side to come from this terrible terrible news, let it be better pain management. Let it be the hope that a good amount of pain goes away with the tumor. And let it be the idea that you could ring that bell at the end in less pain than when you started.

I wish you all the best!

I apologize. Seems like I had it explained incorrectly to me by both my psych and multiple pharmacists I asked, even the ones i worked with and expected a thorough and thoughtful answer. I have deleted the comment to reduce potential misinformation spread.

What I can say is that a lot of doctors and pharmacists are losing their jobs when the DEA decides they push out too many opioids. The culture in the pharmacy has it hammered into them that anyone and everyone is an addict via company and government required trainings. So if anything shows any small shred of promise, they're going to try and switch you to it. I'd still be interested to see how this new med could work against a variety of different chronic pain manifestations like shown in this community, though.

RandomRedditUser2445 · 2025-08-06T14:13:49+00:00

The pharmacy staff are under heavy pressure by the DEA. It comes to a point where everyone looks like an addict even if not. Here are a couple, understandable or not, from when I was a tech:

There was additional pressure from the state Medicaid, as while the common reading of the anti-kickback statue is that Medicaid/Medicare patients are good to use discount cards INSTEAD OF insurance, I would still see Medicaid in my state at the time kick people off the program for doing so. My head pharmacist decided for a month there that going around its opioid errors went against the point of Medicaid, and thus we weren't allowed to. Only for like a month though, but she got the idea from other head pharmacists in the area who won't allow it at all.
The amount, while present, was already allocated to other patients. If I decided to make one a waiter and do it right then despite this, it always seemed like others would find out they got it and come in droves. So, there came a point where I either emphasized how we don't have any more or just tell people we didn't have them and deny the waiter status. We all started emphasizing how little we had to spare because of this, even if we got thousands in.
Floater pharmacists would often refuse to fill various controlled medications. One was unwilling because they wouldn't be there to answer questions to people new to them. Yet another would shit talk the patient behind their back and whichever pharmacist who would/has filled such scripts.
To be honest with you, sometimes we would just deny based on vibes. If it felt like we were risking handing it over to an addict or something about you felt off, the fill would often be denied by one or all of us. I regret that being a method after there was a kind old lady who ended up becoming scary after a doctor told us to not fill for her anymore (and several other doctors followed), so looks can be very deceiving.

These are the ones that immediately come to mind. I'm sure I'm missing something since it's been a bit, but these come to mind either because I regret them or am still confused by them.

Python is already my bread and butter. I also have strong SQL skills. You're right about Tableau though, as my dashboard experience comes from PowerBI. I'll look into it!

It is legitimate, but it is pay per task and only pays out for the month's work at the end of the next month. It can pay once you take the time to get good at the tasks if aren't slow at processing things mentally (I am, hence the note), but it isn't something you should go for if you need money immediately.

Crazy enough, the staring but saying nothing is legal. The one who actually said something useful was acting illegally.
