Around 2008-2010, I previously had an HP Compaq Presario that was no longer cutting it, so it was time to upgrade! I ended up using the case itself for quite a while, but gutted the motherboard for some Gigabyte board of the time, a Pentium 4 (1.X Ghz), a whooping 4 GB of RAM (32-bit systems woohoo), ~100Gb HDD, and an nVidia 9600GT. Give it a few years, and I'd upgraded it to a GTX 560 and i5-2500k which ended up blowing in a power surge in college dorms around 2015.

It's been long enough that timelines are fuzzy, but the turn of specs have been wild. I was pretty shocked to learn that a lot of CPUs have turned from over-clocking to under-volting due to how generally powerful (and power consuming) they are nowadays!

I thought it'll pass on it's own but it hasn't.

I had an internal one (no pain, lots of bleeding) within the last 2 years, went to see the doc at the 2 month mark. Was informed it usually takes up to 6 months to resolve. There's a few more-drastic measures that can be performed to take care of it if it's a significant health risk or doesn't fade in that time period. Sorry for your pain and suffering, but other comments about Prep H, and your sitz baths, are good advice. Yes, they're not so uncommon.

The sooner they know, the less embarrassing it'll end up with frequent, painful trips to the bathroom. Just be up front.

It infringes on my constitutional freedom to be ripped off!

That's rich, coming from a sandwich-maker that left the kitchen.

You're right - the climate is a-changin'!

Pharmacy technician here. When we bill a prescription, the processing information (either from your insurance card, or from GoodRX) is entered into the computer, then the claim (including the drug being billed, day supply, and patient information) are sent to the benefits manager (PBM), and returned to give us a determined copay to charge you. It's during this transaction, that by using GoodRX, your information has been volunteered to GoodRX as part of the billing process.

We do not determine copays - PBMs and your plan formulary do. You showing us a dollar sign on GoodRX does not guarantee you that price.

As an aside, my particular pharmacy does not accept GoodRX due to knowledge of these practices. It may also be interesting to know that GoodRX charges pharmacies a "finder's fee" for offering a discounted price e.g. you pay the pharmacy $25 for a $22 drug, and the pharmacy pays GoodRX $5. If you can still find independent pharmacies, support them! They will work with you.

Well, since he did it in the opposite direction, it cancels out the first one!

Doesn't fit the bill exactly, as it only features a single playable character, but Hades is an absolutely wonderful game that featuring the Greek pantheon for its story.

Just grab 'em by the pussy, I guess?

You can't bring up my past decisions and hold them against me. People can grow, learn, and change.

Sorry, advocate for the devil; you've had 8 years to grow and reflect on the first presidency. That defense doesn't work twice!

The Democratic Engagement to Elect Sanders. DEES nuts, we could even call it!

because I've still yet to buy a physical game for it.

I didn't get the disc edition for the PS5 games. I got it for the PS4 games I still owned physically over digitally, and would rather not repurchase my library as part of the cost of the console.
