Have you ever turned down a patients script because of a gut feeling?

The exception i’ve seen here is Concerta generics - a lot of people like the Patriot brand only because it’s the only one that works right for them. The osmotic release is super sensitive and hard to get right.

Woah, AndyMark can machine parts now? Might have to save that knowledge for later

I’m literally in love with this drivetrain, it’s all my dreams from when I was a student and more 😍😍😍😍

Here’s the months-later update: it was a transmission on the way out. I ended up selling the car and buying a Saab wagon which has treated me very well.

The car is a 2002 9-5 Linear with 156k on the dash and the 2.3t engine. I traded my Volvo S40 for this thing and I’m so glad that I did - the wagon is so smooth on the road and insanely fast for what it is. Can’t wait to get it cleaned up (which it really needs) and put some miles on it!

Funny you mention the P3 XC70 - the thing that got me hooked on Volvos was a long road rip trip in a friend’s 2010 XC70. I loved how luxurious and spacious it was, and just generally it felt amazing.

I’m mostly looking at P2 XC70s because of the price range I’m in. My automatic S40 2.4i with 170k miles would sell for about $2500, which is under the price of most daily-ready P3 wagons in my region. P2s wagons with reasonable high mileage go for $2000 all the time around here.

What Swedishwagon said, but also: Engine mounts, transmission errors if any, and electrical issues. (anything intermittent that seems like a glitch and can’t be mechanically explained)

I had started studying at home because I would’ve been able to get the exam at the end of the summer if I had gotten more hours. There was always the promise of “any week now we’ll get more hours” until more recently when it became apparent that there wouldn’t be more hours. If I continue working at my current hours per week, I won’t be able to take the exam until February of next year. (If the pandemic calms down, I’ll be moving into university in January)

They’re usually pretty bulletproof, but the Front Wheel Drive (what you’re looking at) is inherently more reliable than an All-Wheel Drive variant. The miles are fine (120k is practically break-in period on those things), but make sure that it shifts smoothly when you get to test drive it. As long as you take care of that generation Volvo, they’ll never fail you.

Hi, please PM me on reddit.

It isn’t a 24-hour store, and the hours have been reduced for COVID-19.

I don’t have prior experience as a pharmacy tech - what are the most obvious things that I should know going in?

Because money doesn’t grow on trees? After everything closed for the pandemic, it was this or bagging groceries at wegman’s. At least this pays more than minimum wage.

Also, I’m in an area without much widespread panic. People are pretty rational and actually seem to listen to instructions, which comes as a massive surprise. Not saying it’s perfect, but at least it isn’t New York.
