To alleviate that feeling: they’re the same person.

He made one endorsing Clinton in 2016. https://xkcd.com/1756/

Beyond the pricing issue you already found, unless you have specific genetic mutations that cause CF like the F508del mutation, these drugs won’t really do anything for you.

I recently went to the grocery store and before I started scanning at the self-checkout, I realized someone else had scanned a box of “Men’s libido max” pills and apparently left as it required ID or something to buy, and I guess they didn’t want to look someone in the face and buy it.

So then I had to look someone in the face while they cleared it from the register, probably thinking that I was the one who had the change of heart.

It was a Minute Physics video. Only 2 minutes, and a great watch.

None of those meds do anything to prevent or end a cold, just treat symptoms. So you may be fooling yourself, or you may be treating your symptoms well enough that it feels like you avoided the cold altogether.

If they got that big of a discount, it may have been a manufacturer’s savings card.

It’s not the pharmacies that set the prices. At least, not really. The pharmacy pays near the listed “cash-price” for the drug from the wholesaler, who buys from the manufacturer, so the pharmacy can’t really afford to charge much less than they do for many drugs.

And the price the patient sees after insurance is decided based on the insurance or pharmacy benefit manager who deals with prescription benefits for the insurance.

Pharmacies are also contractually prevented from charging less to a cash-paying patient than what they charge to the insurance companies, so you start getting weirdness with coupon cards to work around that.

Germany had 17 active nuclear plants in 2011 and decommissioned them all by 2023.

I’ve been having a weird problem recently where when I sort by Top in a comments section, often times a few top-level comments don’t show up, and the replies to that comment are shown as top-level instead. It seems to happen more with comments that have a negative score.

It’s fixed when I sort by Old. I’m not sure if it’s some weird setting I have or a bug. I’d be appreciative for any help!

Beta blockers work on the adrenergic system, not the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is used to transport immune cells as well as fluid that has absorbed into the intercellular space from the circulatory system.

But yeah, they essentially block the function of adrenaline/epinephrine on the heart primarily, slowing heart rate and potentially helping with anxiety through action in the central nervous system.
