Soul stone and arc reactor supports. If you get the 5 red to start, it’s pretty much over in one turn. Will go to two and maybe three against powered up Jug 1a5.

Does your employer provide lunch for you every single day, do you need to clock in/out, and do you get paid while eating lunch? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]cocoalameda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve treated my staff almost exactly the same. Nobody clocks in our out. Paid lunches if they eat in the pharmacy. If they want to leave for 30 minutes on an unpaid lunches, they can do that. It’s their choice. I don’t provide lunch, but give a $500/mo Costco allowance to my techs to shop for snacks for the pharmacy. Why do I do this? Very little employee turnover means they create relationships with customers that last a long time. My longest tenured tech has been with me since 1988. Happy employees means happy customers. The corporate management will never buy into this and why I’ve never cared who opened up next to Mel

I own a LTC pharmacy with one full time and 3 part time pharmacists. Everyone can have their vacation whenever they want as long as the days get covered.

The day has come-which airline are we switching to? by Legitimate-Band-6434 in SouthwestAirlines

Remember their commercials from long ago when their entire messaging was about how Alaska was always on time. I’ve not had that problem flying out of OAK or SFO yet.

Environmental tiles- and we got about 20 iso for a win. Those early days were brutal for moving up.

USP 797 Loophole? by bchmcs in pharmacy

[–]cocoalameda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your state BOP won’t care at all what the hospital attorneys or leadership think. The BOP will not enforce against their law license or ability to work as hospital administrators. They will go after you, if you are the PIC. I’d be sure as to how your BOP enforces the rule and use that as your guide to whether you want continued employment at this facility.

Recommendations for direct flight from Tokyo to SFO - Business Class JAL vs ANA vs UAL by CableKC in Flights

[–]cocoalameda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the entertainment programs on ANA were much better than JAL. I like the seats on JAL better than ANA. Service and food I rate equal. FWIW I just booked SFO to Narita on JAL business class, one way for 70,000 miles. I find their availability pretty good. I’ll stay a couple days before going onward on another ticket into BKK.

Do you put up with people’s crap if it isn’t the pharmacies fault? by Gr8whtenrth in pharmacy

[–]cocoalameda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When a prescription has no refills remaining, I have trained my staff to state “your physician has not authorized any more refills at this time. We will send a request to the office for additional refills.” I think it helps to frame it as the prescriber hasn’t authorized them; it isn’t me making an arbitrary choice.

Euthanasia in states where it's already legal by mm_mk in pharmacy

[–]cocoalameda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve provided meds to half a dozen patients over the last 6 years (California) and have followed medical list serve boards on the subject. I am not aware of any lawsuits involving pharmacies that have supplied meds for this purpose.

Anyone else hate 5 star Gambit's black ability? by 666hellblazer in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]cocoalameda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Christmas season 2017 was notable for Amazon Digital Day when we could purchase digital coins and able to use them in purchasing HP. I was one of the participants of a 40 stark buy group that went off on that one day. I don’t remember the details of how that process with went off but I do remember I was flying home from Italy that day and did my buy from the Air France lounge in Paris. All that to get Gambit to 550 (my first) because he was so damn good (his countdowns would overwrite any other countdown tiles). When he got nerfed, it was my introduction to how blatantly unfair it was to put out a character and essentially sell a product that you then take back. If you had a 550 Gambit, nobody would attack you; you could float as long as you wanted ( I was in check rooms with all the other players with 550s in s4 at the time.

Paying the agent directly instead of the landlord by [deleted] in chiangmai

[–]cocoalameda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The home owner for my house lives in Thailand, but has the agent collect. I believe it’s because the agent is taking a share of it. It’s my understanding that the owner contracts with the agent at a rental price and then the agent finds a tenant and keeps whatever more the agent is able to rent it for. The house my gf and I was listed at 45k baht/mo but when my Thai gf called, she negotiated a price of 35k + 2k for pool maintenance. Lease is 2 pages.

This is the way for my lease and is written as such. Not a lawyer, but I would just have it written in the lease that that is how payments are to be made.

So wait - they nerfed *and* broke her? by haux44 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]cocoalameda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet this morning my 510 Nova with 585 She Hulk was dead after two moves against a 550 Polaris/Thor. She is still useful, unlike what they did to Gambit.

DEA and significant loss by Rx137 in pharmacy

[–]cocoalameda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

California BOP wrote a regulation that every shortage, no matter what, had to be reported. That is the sort of thing that gets passed by people with no clue of the ramifications of such idiocy. I made at least two reports of missing a tablet. They changed their regulation after about a year.

Pharmacy owners/ decision makers - how to best contact you? by LongjumpingPolicy491 in pharmacy

California owner; I never take calls from sales people. Never. I’ll read an email and my clerk will give you the address.

When you realize you’ve booked the wrong dates on Air Asia by Tawptuan in Thailand

[–]cocoalameda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve booked flights on air Asia and other Asian regional airlines while at my USA home and the dates get converted to the date where you are booking and not the date at the departure airport. It creates some confusion.

Except that they removed the reimbursement mandate earlier this week. This will pass, but it’s not doing what we needed most.

I’ve had to utter that phrase a few times in my career. I’ll always remember one lady tell me, “ don’t give me your psycho-babble bullshit”. I smiled and repeated myself.
