@Museek the delta strain kinda reminded me of getting exposed to hydrochloric acid vapors. Not the after effects but the immediate sensation of heat and the movement of water from where it belongs to somewhere it doesn't.

This is why my generation feels such animosity towards the baby boomers... in graph form. It isn't a great mystery.

every now and then I have to be a little mean on here or I will lose my mind

@ceorl your generation has hoarded vast wealth and f***ed over mine while talking enormous amounts of s*** about younger people. Now you just want to pretend all of that didn't happen. There's a reason millennials are so mad at the boomers.

nyan!!

It makes sense to restrict access to pure, bulk pseudoephedrine. Like in the range of hundreds of kilos. But nobody making meth out of cold pills is going to be able to compete with cheap, surprisingly pure cartel meth. It's just not possible. And there's no reason for a person to take all the risks associated with running a clandestine lab to make it for themselves when they can just buy it.

So like, why bother restricting access to effective cold meds?

@ExecutiveFunction404 the FDA advisory committee unanimously declared it ineffective but there isn't a clear timeline in place for phasing it out. Some stores are moving to do this on their own b/c America handles regulation a** backwards.

@ExecutiveFunction404 its still on the market. Because it does nothing the FDA can't just force a recall.

Its crazy that phenylephrine oral formulations stayed on the market for so long despite literally doing nothing. That's not an exaggeration, it gets broken down in the digestive system. None of it makes it to your blood stream. At all. Even at 4x times the normal max dose. Drug companies have known this for 30 years.

Actual, real, pseudoephedrine works great as a decongestant and they replaced it with a placebo because of fears of meth. But meth is cheap AF. Nobody needs to make it themselves!

@catlynne333 the ppl involved with pushing medicare advantage deserve... severe punishment. It's particularly disastrous for rural hospitals. S*** is predatory. Every aspect of our healthcare system is hot garbage but this manages to be even worse than usual.

I am a little bummed that all my flowers have died. Thought I'd have a little longer before the frost but such is life.

Canna lilies are awesome. I planted 3 bulbs in the spring and now I have 19. Gonna plant these everywhere next year.

watching fat cats run up and down the stairs is one of the great pleasures of life

phlegm demon begone!
