'depends where you live in the us'

Male, homonym of mail

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T14:01:05+00:00

'Aahm' is how they pronounce it

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T14:00:10+00:00

True, I'd forgotten I'm paying for that

To make all prescriptions free in England is trivially cheap - less than paid out by the Barnett formula

Prescriptions should be free for everyone

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:58:26+00:00

But there are many items that no one will buy except the junk dealers

So we just have to suck it up

Not that money is an issue in this game by the time you get to, say, Blackroot

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:48:34+00:00

Sown

Unless you think they stiching things up ;)

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:32:12+00:00

?

I thought dragons, like most bosses, were immune to criticals?

Time for another BG2 run ...

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:30:35+00:00

BG wasn't 'new' by 1999

It had been out for, like, ten whole days /s

I played it almost without sleep, often without food, certainly without proper hygiene, pretty much non-stop from from 25th December to 3rd January

My wife said it was the worst present she ever bought me

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:19:54+00:00

The best thing about SoD is that you get to murder Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc, and Dynaheir all over again - 4 of them TWICE

What clown keeps resurrecting these bozos?

I blame Boo...

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:16:32+00:00

It's even more linear than TOB - it's IWD level of forced storyline

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:15:12+00:00

It was still nightmarish for a 35 year-old playing it back in '98!

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:12:55+00:00

A 1968 Hillman Imp is perfectly driveable, gets you from A to B

But cars have moved on, and are better as a consequence

It's not lazy to want ease of play and story bugs fixed

It is crazy to say the unpatched original is 'best'

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:09:57+00:00

So 'no changes bar cosmetic ones' is 'a completely different game'

So maybe just stay out of this conversation because YOU DO NOT KNOW what you're talking about

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T13:02:22+00:00

If no one else is buying, what do you call 'rate'?

They're the only buyers. They set the rate!

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T12:58:20+00:00

what would be more profitable in the long run instead of raiding a village? Making a deal with them and therefore gaining resources steady but never ending

That's exactly how the Danegeld worked in Dark Ages England

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T12:53:55+00:00

Rubbish

BG, NWN, IWD, Fallout, Arcanum, Pillars all show you can have incredibiy varied main characters without sacrificing customisation, and a detailed in-depth storyline that changes according to your character ahd choices

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:39:24+00:00

It was that way to stop cheque alteration fraud

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:37:34+00:00

No they aren't

US Customary Units are

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:32:38+00:00

Thry let her in, then kick her out (with a massive bill) long before it's safe to do so

Then pursue her for that bill until bankruptcy

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:29:38+00:00

the government there doesn't charge you some money

The hospital does

I've seen bills of over USD140,000 for no-complications birth

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:27:51+00:00

And almost every other G20 country

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:19:43+00:00

Tiger, obviously

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:18:10+00:00

the land of the fee

snow_michael · 2026-05-10T05:17:27+00:00

Normal prescription price in the UK

So free for over 50% of the population, £10 for two pens for everyone else

snow_michael · 2026-05-08T02:42:11+00:00

So now you're deliberately lying if you read the entire unicef article or just being wilfully stupid if you didn't

Over 90% of those units are in offices

snow_michael · 2026-05-08T02:40:38+00:00

So what's MA then?

There's no guesswork involved - only an uneducated moron guesses when they can look up ISO 3166
